Heartless by Thirdway Industries

Planned for "late summer/fall"

another must buy from Gio and our little bat friend makes another appearance.

I’m really looking forward to this. I hope that the wicked version gets some type of purple gilding similar to sins anima ex.

[KingfisherZero]

This one looks like an absolute winner. A little Delirium, a dash of Omnia and Betrayers. Excited for these!

[simon]

I'm very much in need of some goth playing cards. Are these coming to Kickstarter?

To quote Gio:

I think I'll release this on Kickstarter when Memoria will be almost over, maybe in early summer.

[simon]

awesome, I'll keep an eye out for them

Thanks for posting Heartless!

I've added other pics I've shared on Patreon last month.

The Red Box is the "real" one, the violet box is an experiment I've shared on Patreon - It will be likely be made, though (and violet gilded, probably).

There is a slight delay on Memoria and I will launch Eva Kickstarter before Heartless, so I'm planning this Kickstarter for late Summer/early Fall.

I am looking at that Queen of Spades and thinking I need to check out the King of Spades. He is either even more deadly or just insane or both to sleep near her at night. Not sure if he would ever wake up in the morning (or in one piece), even if she did like you. Heck, to do that every night???? Run boy, run!

Deal with the Devil theme, interesting

[rousselle]

This is the first Gio deck in a while that doesn't quite grab me at first sight.

The previous two campaigns that had that not-quite-grabbing-me vibe were the Evil Deck and Delirium (which I backed right out of the gate anyway because it was an official UC deck.) And, well, in the end I have come to love them both, and I was among those who was hoping he'd finish The Good Deck. (That said... I love the extension of the Delirium series, but I don't think we need that one extended any further. .) The art here is evocative of Delirium, in fact.

So, yeah, I'm backing this one to the hilt, because I don't want to regret passing it up the way I did the original Evil Deck.

And, yeah, that Queen of Spades sure does have a 'tude.

Assuming the violet one does get made, is that likely to be a Patreon deck?

@Allan - I hope the other cards I'll share on Patreon will grab your attention more
Actually Delirium isn't the main inspiration for Heartless - Omnia, Black Market, Egoism and Poison are.
Betrayers and Delirium are more... "collateral" inspirations, not very intentional - but I see your point!

@Adamthinks - I am still deciding what to do, but probably I'll do a "pure" Kickstarter campaign for Heartless.
Still, I may decide to do an exclusive Patreon deck in the future, if there will be request by Patrons.

...I am doing something "new" for Patrons during these days

Love is blind - often dumb, and occasionally wishes it were deaf.

"Love is blind - often dumb, and occasionally wishes it were deaf."

I guess that explains why my wife married me and is still putting up with me.

[Harvonsgard]

Might be a Gio deck worth getting after being on a TWI hiatus for a long time. We'll see if it still suits my fancy when the campaign launches.

[rousselle]

@Gio: I think it was the King of Hearts that did the most to evoke that Delirium feel for me. But, yeah, I see those other elements, too, and that Queen of Spades sure does speak volumes with just a look.

I have no doubt that you'll be making a believer of me. You always have so far.

Heh.

Kickstarter is now live for this one.

Gio would be known as the playing card designer with the fast-pacing campaigns

[rousselle]

Really wish I could go for the box this time around, because his extras for the box pledges are *always* worth it.

Finances are super tight for me this time around, unfortunately, and I have to sit on the sidelines. Alas.

Backing for the square.

[GandalfPC]

A few Warrior Pins are available as add ons at the moment (3 at last count)

[portcullis]

Money's a bit tight right now. So tight that this pledge only just got through. I'm in for a pair tho.

Great pics!

SoCal: Heartless Abyss Playing Cards by Thirdway Industries, $17.70

Heartless Elysium (x/999), coming Black Friday Much more info (and a preorder!) on Patreon

Elysium deck looks good even though it's a recolor. Patrons get this deck as their Q4 reward if they paid for Oct, Nov and Dec. I hope that it won't be starting a new trend of 1 deck per quarter because that makes them quite pricey. Good to see that it's not too expensive for the preorder. 29€ is a nice price for patrons and I think it will be affordable for non patrons afterwards. The yearly Hybris reward is supposed to be great.

He explained it's because of Hybris:

As said before, Hybris is a huge project - at least 3 different decks.

I decided to release just 1 limited deck (gilded) for Q4 2023. This one will be shipped along with Hybris, and will be revealed soon, probably in October.
