TWI Poison by John B. Trayer

Knowing the folks at Kickstarter, it was the butt crack on the campaign image. You typically showcase other assets. They have unique taste. It is surprising though you have never made "Projects We Love" before now.

This made me laugh more than it should.

[Bradius]

Well, just look where their heart is:

Finally, for the first time, Poison is a Kickstarter "Project we love".
Not sure why, but this made my day, I'm attempting to get this achievement since 2015

FYI "Tridents" and "Monsterboxes" are sold out, so I've unlocked few more "late" tiers.

Crazy to me that it hasn't happened until now lol

[Eric Lee]

And yes, there is a strong link between Poison, Order, Black Market and Galaxia - you basically revealed it.

Whoops, sorry for being the spoiler! I'll redact my post for those who hate spoilers and not read it yet.

I am evaluating to do a TWI "Big Book" that includes all the hints, the secrets and the stories of all decks. It will be very long and I will need assistance by a professional writer since my Ita-english is too basic to write proper books.

A book about your lore/mythology that would most certainly persway me to put some funds towards TWI again though; especially if I you approach it similar to your tuck boxes aka exquisite materials - I certainly would love it to be a premium hardcover.

A book of TWI secrets and stories would be amazing! It'll also let the fans enjoy your detailed artwork in large format, as well as recent TWI fans the chance to see what they missed from the earlier decks. But please, do have a cheaper format alternative for us int'l backers where the forex rate for USD and Euro is more than 4:1.

@laitostarr777 - The decks are not ready, but the production started almost 2 months ago. If all goes well (considering that winter is the worst moment to produce, everyone is rushing for holidays) the decks might be ready for early 2022. I'm hoping that, actually.
I love short campaigns, people who like what I do usually pledge during the very first days, so it's pointless make too long campaigns. I'm also very impatient, too

Like an artbook with all the stories and artist's commentaries! Hey, that would be great for sure, as well as for the other playing cards creators as well

And hmm, I see, at least that is comforting to know that there won't be any more surprises (Press X to doubt)

Got my brick and king slayer is amazing.
Well I got the monster box so two bricks, 3 egoism ivory, BM crypto as well. It was a hefty pack.
But yeah kingslayer is where it’s at. The color really pops and the embossing is amazing. The coin is pretty cool as well.

[Bikefanatic]

The expected delivery should have been next Wednesday but my Poison deck along with Egoism and others will be coming in today. I also hope the NOC decks will arrive today too.

Received both yesterday in New Mexico

Thank you for being the guinea pig of the Kingslayer poison~ I trust you have felt the strong effect coming from it?

[portcullis]

Waited AAAAAAAAAAAGES for these and this happens!!

I know it's absolutely nothing to do with Gio but I've honestly never been so disappointed receiving one of his decks. I know he's going to be as upset as I am too. And yes I've enquired about getting a new one.

[rousselle]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[portcullis]

You can't really see it in that third pic, but yes the cello is broken and the tuck case has been nicked. Whatever the blade was, it's gone through 2 postal bags, usps small box and 2 layers of bubble wrap.

Replacement organised.

[hsbc]

Looks like customs has a nice sharp blade

[portcullis]

It's not Customs' MO. There was no evidence of "interference" from Customs: they'd be more ... clinical than what's seen above. Also, it's repackaged after clearing customs.. It's sent ... Italian post to the border and via AusPost thereafter. No repairs with blue tape, nor a little blue slip of paper saying it had been opened by Customs. And the big give away? It's not a Lotrek deck, which for me always seem to get stopped.

[brownsl]

Looks like the King slayer took a whack at it.

[hsbc]

I know King Slayer is the "fancy" gilded deck and all that, but the Belladonna tuck is just so shiny, especially when the sun hits it - the tuck has an uncommon sort of matte finish too that I think adds to the unique look

[Harvonsgard]

Can I has a Gio deck only with his ad cards?

[Bradius]

I love the card design and stuff, but I do need to note that my opened Belladonna now has a serious bow in the deck. Is this just me, or are others noting the same thing?

I''ve found that to be pretty common with decks printed by Legends.

So I decided to check back with my Belladona deck since its initial opening during my mailday. And…… yikes… the cards bend so much X.X it suffers the same fate as EPCC’s Wizard of Oz among other KwP decks with heavy foiling.

But I try to fan the cards, and it still fans!
Although, this bend cards on holographic foiled cards by Legends raised concerns about the other Holographic decks done by them = Fever Dreams Characters, SpongeBob Font Holo, Fontaine Fantasies Grids

[Harvonsgard]

Is the foil on both sides or just one?

[Bradius]

Just one side, which is an interesting point.

[Harvonsgard]

Would be my first guess that this causes the bend. The foil might contract itself. Kinda like if you put a scotch tape full length on a piece of paper.
