Sir Galahad & Sir Lancelot by Artur Rajch (@playingcards72)

Launching October 3rd

[Adamthinks]

I'm intrigued. Love the tucks and the card backs. Courts are intriguing. I'm not a big fan of the number cards though ( there's more pics on his Instagram @playingscards72).

[Artur_R]

Thank you for adding a link to my campaign and posting photos. I visit this forum often and it's a nice surprise for me. Today I created an account to post more photos of my cards.
I am a freelancer, I have already made over 20 decks of cards, but all of them based on someone else's idea. Camelot series is first, only my and oryginal.
Please forgive me, this is my first campaign and it will be based mainly on cards, there are some extras, but since I prepare everything myself, there won't be many extras.
The two decks you see here will be printed in Cartamundi. There will be no gold or shiny decorations on the cards. The cards have rich ornamentation, but they are discreet and I am sure that such an addition would not look good.
If the project is successful, there will be a third deck - Sir Percival, but it will be released without the participation of Kickstarter.
Thanks again!

the court and back art look pretty good. the tucks could probably do with some matte paper stock and embossing at least.

dont get too hung up on not having extra items for the campaign. there is a segment in this community that do not really care about extras. we collect decks of cards and not trinkets and boxes. is see what looks like a collectors box in the photos above. my advice would be to not have that be mandatory to get the set. i feel like there is a growing backlash against campaigns with decks gated behind other items. it is fine to have available but also have the decks available for purchase individually and as a set without extra items. all my opinion of course.

[Artur_R]

Thanks, there are some add-ons, but not in large quantities. I tried to arrange the rewards in such a way that everyone would be satisfied. There is, of course, a basic (budget) version with inexpensive shipping, but there are also limited versions in wooden boxes.
You know, I suspect that this campaign will actually serve me more as gaining experience than actual income. Maybe it's also worth finally proving to yourself that I want and can do it Well - we'll live and see.

I agree with the above I don't give 2 cares about extras. I don't really even care about the tuck, make good and interesting cards if you want my money.
I REALLY don't like locking deck variations behind wooden boxes unless the cost is negligible (ARK, looking at you). I tend to skip campaigns entirely that do that.

[brownsl]

Please no limited versions only available with a wooden box.

[GandalfPC]

There have been a few campaigns where the limited box was an add on without decks - seemed to work well enough

[Artur_R]

Thank you all very much for your valuable tips. This is very important to me as a beginner. It's nice that I found out about it before the campaign started
In that case, I will reduce the number of limited cards with add-ons and from what is left I will create a separate reward;s pool in the form of limited decks without add-ons. The boxes that are left will be used as an add-on.

[Evilgamer]

well, not to throw a lot of things at you/the wall but personally when Im looking at a campaign this is what is important to me (keep in mind this is for a "perfect" campaign nobody's perfect)
I still haven't figured out how many of these should be a yes/no or a rating on their own.

1. established track record
2. Realistic shipping costs
3. Access to the desirable deck(s) without expensive physical addons/boxes
4. Access to the desirable decks without having to buy the base deck(s)
5. Actual decks in hand, not renders
6. Funding target is high enough to show confidence in the product
7. Good stretch goals
8. Communication
9. Pricing
10. Effort put into the campaign page

This last one drives me up the wall, if I cant tell what your cards look like(against the screaming voices in the back of my head Im backing a campaign there a total of 5 cards have been shown and I don't think an entire variant has pictures), if you spend the entire time talking about the tuck or the addons I'm just going to pass.

[Artur_R]

My project is already active.

My project is already active.

Is the only difference between the regular and limited versions just the sticker?

[Artur_R]

Only a seal with the deck number.

[Evilgamer]

Good luck, backed because the pricing is rather good. But I don't have a great feeling about this campaign.

Definitely try to post on reddit about it and any other way you have of (smartly) promoting it

[Artur_R]

Well, no one said it would be easy. An hour after the campaign started, some nice man reported my FB account that I wasn't myself and FB blocked my account to checking.
I'll try, a few days left.

[GandalfPC]

Yahoo decided I wasn’t me once - didn’t have a nice man to thank but I did manage to adjust to the new life that Yahoo assigned me, so it all worked out.

There are things I like about the decks but the Queens are too girly looking

[STLBluesNut]

... the Queens are too girly looking

odd. how do you mean?

I send swap cards to my granddaughters and take the face of the QoH in the first post above - it sort of reminds me of a Forever Clover face

I would describe them as "Disney princess"

[STLBluesNut]

i so wish to make a disney dig here but the PC mod police will just take it down anyway. i can see what you mean though. they seem to be a bit more cartoony than the other courts perhaps.

[Honeybee]

Not so Odd then
