TGW Presents "The Tale of the Tempest" designed by Lotrek LIVE on KS

[MagikFingerz]

How will the tiers for the Dynastinae edition look like? Will there be both a quad and quint level with the standards and the standards plus Treasured Ed respectively?

Or can it be added on to an existing pledge?

I'm currently working that out. I'm hoping my approval for the add-on BETA comes through before we are ready to go down that road. Lotrek just finished up the jokers and he's working on the inner graphics, brick box and the dynastinae tuck in that order so we might not see it until a week before the campaign closes. At least that's what I hope. Otherwise we may be asking for folks to pledge in the blind for it... not unheard of with Lotrek. If anyone knows him he can be... well let's say patience is a virture. Still it'll be worth the wait!

[MagikFingerz]

Thanks, Omar! Btw, can you say whether the Dynastinae deck will be gilded or not?

[TheGentlemanWake]

Thanks, Omar! Btw, can you say whether the Dynastinae deck will be gilded or not?

I don't think so. At least Lotrek hasn't mentioned it. I'm in the blind on the Dynastinae as much as you are! lol. By design of course. I just told Lotrek make it green, spare no expense, and make it beautiful. I know what the idea for the tuck box is but he's yet to execute but I think it will be awesome. We've really tried to make each deck in the set unique. The standards will have metallic inks and vibrant colors. The black has those stunning gold foil borders and gunmetal and gold cold foil on back and faces. The Treasured has gold gilding and two tone gold foil. The dynastinae will be printed by lotrek as will the bottle edition (which will be sealed with a ribbon and wax seal).

By the way... toying with the idea of opening up 50 more premium slots when the dynastinae/bottle edition drops. What's the consensus? It doesnt change the limit on any of the decks. Is there interest? It's just easier for folks to bid into a tier with everything in it. I'll be sure to announce when and if that happens.

Speaking of premium tiers one currently open

I just switched to a Treasured edition tier and now you’re saying there will be more decks! Oh man, you’re killing me

Thanks for the support and in my defense I've been saying it for a while!

Ok, I guess I haven’t paid enough attention then. Anyways, great campaign!

[GandalfTheWhite]

I know you said there is a brick box. Is there a half brick box too? (for folks that has 6 decks?)

[Bradius]

TGW has stated that there is not a half brick box. I think if you look at the marginal cost to go to a brick from a half-brick, you might be surprised.

Been mulling over the issue if the bottle edition. Spent a great deal of time on the particulars if the deck with lotrek on the phone. I leaning towards no longer offering a bottled version. But rather the most luxurious version of the tempest yet. We have had some ideas that we both feel really excited about... Lotrek said “the deck will be so beautiful no one will want it in a bottle”. And rather than compromise I think that sounds like a good idea to me. And I want premium backers to feel like this is worth their support.

I support this idea wholeheartidly! Yes, please!

[EvilDuncan]

As much as I do love your idea of a "Tempest in a Bottle" deck, I do think more people are likely to appreciate it without the bottle.

Just out of curiosity, what will the 15-deck split look like for the premium slots? Is it simply a 3-way brick plus Treasured, Dynastinae and the other one? Will the premium backers be able to choose their splits with possibly more than one of the super exclusive decks?

If it's the latter, then I'd be interested in a slot.

[philmyer92]

I do like the idea of getting a tempest deck in a bottle but i wouldn't want that deck to be the most expensive and rare deck. I would however definitely be interested in one of the standard editions or at least an edition i could have 1 sealed in the bottle and another one free and able to be opened.

[bdawg923]

I'd love one of the decks from the premium tier to be bottled. That would be sweet. 11 regular, 1 bottled, 3 special editions.

I am happy My wallet is.... not

I second this. Maybe an extra bottled treasured edition. :p

[TheGentlemanWake]

Rather than spend the money on the bottling process that many people seem to be less interested in we would rather spend it on making the bottle edition be the best we can make it quality, materials and design. Aside from the fact that bottling the deck requires using a standard tuck of traditional thickness and I just think we want to do something more special and give the collectors in the premium tier something they will find true value in.

If it's the latter, then I'd be interested in a slot.

The brick includes 4 ocean, 4 dusk, 4 midnight. The additional decks will be 1 Treasured, 1 Dynastinae, 1 Bottle. There are a few other inclusions; a metal card and a gaff pack.

The super exclusive decks are much more expensive to produce and therefore will not be substituted for any other deck. Aside from the fact that this would become a logistical nightmare.

I'd love one of the decks from the premium tier to be bottled. That would be sweet. 11 regular, 1 bottled, 3 special editions.

This for the same reason as above would be a logistical impossibility, All of the bricks will be sealed in the existing configuration. 4/4/4

What i might be able to do is offer the standard Tempest desk as an additional add-on not included within the premium tier (like the uncut sheets). Is there interest for this?

[gacktvam]

Kind of disappointed to hear that the premium tier has to add-on uncut sheets, but not included. I thought we will get 1 of each items in this campaign...

Here's the tier description:

The ultimate show of support! Pledging this limited tier will guarantee at least one of each of the most unique and rare decks available throughout the campaign as they unlock; the as yet unrevealed the limited Treasure Edition, Limited Dynastinae Edition & More! It will Include at LEAST fifteen Tale of the Tempest decks total, plus undisclosed extras and more!


Note there is no mention of the uncut sheet. Only undisclosed extras which will be a metal card in antique gold finish. It's heavy a 3D sculpted. AND a 15 card gaff pack with packaging. The 'and more' includes small items like stickers. Unfortunately it is cost prohibitive to include uncut sheets since those are especially pricey to ship.

Would you consider giving the backers of the ultimate tier the option of getting an uncut if they pay for the shipping?

[Bikefanatic]

Geez, by mentioning all of this extra information, people aren't going to want to drop their Premium Tier. Very rarely I pledge for the highest priced tier but as long as I get each deck, I'll be alright.

Not at this time. But if the stretch goals get there perhaps.

OK, thanks for taking it into consideration!

[shkorc]

I think Gio (TWI) kinda spoiled us with his premium tiers. You always get so much extra stuff and it really makes you feel like you somehow won big (even though the wallet says otherwise).

And premium backers here expect the same, perhaps?

Hey mate RE: the add-on beta I applied before ONDA and heard nothing. I've now applied way in advance for the next project and have been accepted.

I get the impression it's only for non-live campaigns.

That said it looks good, if a work in progress. You can create separate add-ons that act as additional rewards and functions just like standard rewards.

Are there plans for the gaff pack to be made available for other tiers? It was one of my favorite inclusions in the Parlour campaign!

But Gio also doesn't include uncut sheets in his premium tiers.
