Joker and Thief White Gold Playing Cards - KS 18-March

[vasta41]

Launch date for White Gold Edition: Friday, March 18, 6:00PM PST (West Coast, USA). Per KS update:

On Friday March 18th, at 6PM PST, Joker and the Thief: White Gold Edition will go live here on Kickstarter. A little while back we had let you guys know that this was coming, as well as another major project. Before Dystopia happens later this year, we are adding a new addition to our original deck.
Here's what you can expect from this brand new version!

• Thinner Borders. We are pushing for even thinner borders on the cards this year.
  100% Custom EVERYTHING. Just like the original deck this will be completely custom!
  Updated Colour Scheme. As you can see we have dressed the original Joker and the Thief deck in an elegant white and gold aesthetic.
  We are using both Gold and Silver Metallic ink on both the faces and back.
  Improved Handling. An inverted design dramatically decreases ink saturation in the card stock, making for far crisper, snappier and more papery cards when paired with Classic Finish.
  Hot Stamped Gold Foil and Embossing on the Tuck Box and exterior and interior with a matte paper finish.
  Traditionally Cut for Smooth Edges.
  Perforated Blood Red Tax Stamp Style Seal now with Gold Foil.
  Printed by the Expert Playing Card Co.

Sorry for the double post but I'd like to add two things- 1) I don't think I've ever seen a recolor that looked so much better than the original (not that I don't love the original). The white and gold on this deck are just so sexy! And 2) do you think a new thread should be started?

[Mike Ratledge]

I agree Paul, and I didn't want to pick and choose what moved, so I just took today's posts - first since October, I think?

[badpete69]

New thread is fine... Weird last week i was digging on the web to see when the gold deck would be coming and didn't find anything. Thanks for the heads up Paul

[Räpylätassu]

I love it. The original was one of the best decks of last year (I only liked Arcana and Venexiana Dark more) and this one looks great as well! I only wish that they would do foiled backs instead of metallic inks. Oh and red deck as a stretch goal would be fantastic.

These guys have talent, can't wait to own this. And I have really high hopes for Dystopia, which is going to be their next deck after this (At least I think)

[PrincessTrouble]

Can someone fix the title? These are launching on March 18.

[rousselle]

No!

Leftover pic in original thread stolen from Pierre :

[Mike Ratledge]

No!

ahahahaha - we must have been in a race condition and you won, because I went to fix it and it was already changed. I got the rest of the thread's subject lines. I'm sure I hosed it when I split the topic...

[Joker and the Thief]

Hi guys,

Just stopping by to say hi!

Thanks to vasta41 for starting this thread. We hope to see you all again on the 18th, 6PM PST sharp!
With Joker and the Thief: White Gold Edition just around the corner, we are busy at work on another new deck, so I'll be sure to keep you guys updated.
We will be updating everyone on specifics of the campaign, as we get closer to that date!

We're also holding a giveaway on our Instagram, if any of you guys are active over there. We're giving away a brick of these beauties!

F5 for nothing. Thought it was today lol. Ok set the reminder for next Friday.

[PrincessTrouble]

White Gold. Controversial name. Heh heh heh heh.

[Talisman]

This is one of those projects that sometimes gets missed being placed in our calendar. I was like why isn't anyone discussing this at all and after so many F5s, I decided to check the last post for the date and well......

[Joker and the Thief]

Hey guys!

Just a short announcement and a little bit of info about the campaign.
As of this post we are about 14 hours away from launch, and we are so excited!

We are offering 100 early bird decks at $10 each for those who are planning to get in quickly.

For your convenience I've included some times and dates of the launch for locations around the world. So set your alarms!
We can't wait to see you there. We will post the link here on launch!

Release times look good. Especially for us Europeans. We get to get up at 1am if we want to get them for the discounted price!!!
Same old same old!

[Joker and the Thief]

One of the disadvantages of launching from Australia! Someone somewhere's going to be asleep haha.
We hope to see you there

Cheers,
James

[intlgrrl]

I'll have to wake up an hour early for night shift if I want to get in on this deck...

[Joker and the Thief]

1 hour to go guys! See you there!

Cheers,
James

On a scale of 0 to 10, what is the possibilty of a red deck as a stretch goal?

[flyers3003]

$22 for shipping. No way!

[vasta41]

$22 shipping for 1 deck!?!?!? I want this so bad but apparently not that bad. I'm disgusted..

[Talisman]

Hopefully they correct this fast.

[Räpylätassu]

22 dollars to Finland but it is free shipping to U.S right? If so, then I'll get one through my buddy Shermjack I'm getting one of these, just with a detour.

[sms69x]

Actually shipping is ~16USD, which is way TOO MUCH, NOT ONLY for you US backers, but mainly for Int'l backers, this is totally outrageous (a rip-off almost...)

I will wait for these to hit Art of Play (Magic) and buy from them, sure will save some money...

[flyers3003]

This is why we recommend preview pages, to prevent alot of the mistakes we are currently seeing (no addon price chart, shipping cost mistakes). I am sure that things will get corrected, but this should been checked out a little more thoroughly.

Words right out of my mouth haha...

What if this isn't a mistake?

[flyers3003]

They've already said it was a mistake. The tier says "Free US Shipping". They're working to fix it.

edit:
I stand corrected and am none too please. Others have made this mistake in the past and have been able to fix it - usually by shutting down the incorrect tiers and adding new ones. The fact that they don't seem to be willing to do this bothers me.

[shermjack]

Fixed the EB Tier, but only with 75 slots...hurry and move over!

[Talisman]

Yeah they are learning. There is no reason to cancel just change pledges and it's done.
