The campaign started, and immediately we start with three editions. the reward "Special Collector’s Rewards" offers the opportunity to take the gold edition.

Great design of the courts, I wish it would emitir to the jokers, too. Abrupt change in style which I don't like (not changing it up per se, but when the styles aren't on the same level. Nonetheless a beautiful deck.

Campaign lost me at "true collector" paywall.

This, plus the back design would have looked so much better borderless (basically the box art).

[Oxaliscards]

Hello guys, New edition coming to 200%, really close! What better way to celebrate with you? When the target is reached an update with all the details.

Yep another limited edition restricted by the "collector" paywall. Dropped my pledge.

We very much appreciate that you have given up the project, this edition will have a very limited circulation and it seemed right that access is only to those who have invested so much in the project.

Yes cards should only be for "true collectors". BTW, you're fooling yourself if you don't think that the majority of these true collectors are just resellers who, when all is said and done, will have sold all of your decks off for profit and not kept any for themselves. I know there will be a handful of people who will keep some, but most are probably looking for the easy cash. And more power to them for doing so. But hey, you don't need my money. You've got 150+ backers and over 200% funded. Congrats! Seriously, I mean that. You've managed to get an average of almost $130 per backer. That is impressive. I'm not looking for you to change your business model. It is clearly working. Just don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining.

[shkorc]

Meh, dropped my pledge as well, wishing the creator good luck.

I can't support these paywalls anymore, sorry.

[Harvonsgard]

I can't support these paywalls anymore, sorry.

Just don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining.

... a very limited circulation ...

I'm glad that more and more collectors pierce that veil.

[RichK]

You have a stretch goal (unlocked) to hand number the silver and gold decks? That's insane! If people pledged for one of the 500 decks the least you could do is hand number them.

[aardvarkgod]

I dropped my pledge as well. The campaign seems too predatory and I can't stand the "for true collectors" vibe. I only backed the last deck 'Oxalis' due to the Lotrek/Oath printed tuck on their signature edition.

[Strag]

Wait, the standard edition has a limited edition tuck? Which is it? So many things wrong with this one.

Cammeo playing cards - Inspired by "the cameo", handmade sculptures. Cammeo Standard edition Printed by USPCC - Silver edition 300 Gold edition 200



The cammeo (or cameo) is a jewel made through the engraving of a stratified stone (usually onyx) or a shell, in particular the Cypraecassis rufa, Cassis madascarensis and Cassis cornuta. These shells of the family of Cassis have the surface formed by two layers of different colors, which allows to isolate clearly from the bottom the figure in relief.

Cameos have a rich history with many variations and different meanings. The origins date back to Egypt in 15.000 BC where petroglyphs or figures carved into the rock, were used to record events.

Believe there was already a post for these

And...canceled just hours before the campaign was supposed to finish. Hopefully it is for good reasons, but it might make some leery of backing any future campaigns at this point.

HELLO BACKERS..

We are really very happy and excited about everything we have done in these days of the campaign and these last months of planning; we are also very happy with your support, however, despite the campaign has been quite successful, we are here to give you, reluctantly, an unpleasant news: WE ARE FORCED TO CANCEL THE KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN!


But first things first...
The budget for the production of each product is actually higher than stated, the same is around 13,000€ and not 8000€ as stated at the beginning. With the addition of the Bronze and Prestige editions, the same budget went up a lot, but this was not a problem, as all this had been budgeted in due time.

What’s the real problem?
The sudden addition of the bronze and the 15 prototypes of the prestigious edition, have increased the budget further, however we had, as already said, a solution and until the last day we were encouraged, for the sake of the campaign, to cover all the little extra expenses that have arisen.

However, in the last week there have been over 3000 euros of cancellations ( 1300 euros of these cancellations in the last 24 hours). We are sorry for the time so tight in which we canceled, but until the last second we wanted to support this project!!!!

---------------------------------------------------------------

The campaign was cancelled, BUT THE SAME WILL BE PROPOSED DIFFERENTLY BETWEEN THE MONTHS OF SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER, with a totally different system of rewards and, trying to satisfy all the requests that during this campaign we have collected.


Apologizing for the inconvenience due to some staff problems, we thank you for your support and we meet again in September with new ideas and a new,

@Oxalis - Yah, lol. Spamming dms on instagram might not be the best idea. I told you that with your last project already. Feels annoying at best and desperate at worst.

[Strag]

Wow that is completely against the rules, you can't DM for commercial purposes. That plus the cancellation and the way it reads, well I would stay far far away.

[Harvonsgard]

I don't mind rules at all but as written, just annoying and desperate. They did it with the previous campaign, too. I blocked the Oxalis account then, but this time they used another acc. Even more desperate .

Kinda unfortunate since the design had potential and could have chimed me in if it wasn't for the exhausting (for me) business scheme with multiple rarer than rare versions and the obnoxious dm spam.

They did it on Facebook as well. I definitely didn't appreciate that.
