Don't you mean "...of the deck"?

After all, we're in Am... (OH, wait - I forgot that you're in Singapore! Maybe it's a "pack" there?

Regardless of that: Yes, Uusi's willingness to take such suggestions into account, let alone to implement them, rather than, as so many others would, take a "**** you, we know best, we're artistes!!"-type of attitude, is yet another reason (among so many) why they are way out in the lead, design-wise.

I love the slightly simpler back - and hey - more flesh is showing ;) lol

UUSi are really my favourite deck designers at them moment (even if customs just hit me for another £40 for the box. Ow! Worth it :P )

Hey Robert, Peter's and my segments took about 15 minutes each. Not an eternity, but if we left it in real time it would feel like an eternity for anyone watching. ;)

I dunno about that - Some of us here would have gladly watched every bit of it!

Thanks for the answer, though!

(only fifteen minutes each? I was thinking more like an hour each! But then, come to think of it, I'm often amazed at how quickly artists can draw and color things... Which puts me in mind of those frustrating "How to Draw ________" books from when I was a kid. They would show steps drawing simple lines and shapes (circles, squares, triangles and such), and then the final step would be a completed drawing which bore only a passing resemblance to the steps leading up to it. They never explained whatever artist's magic had occurred between the penultimate drawing and the final one, though... :x It was like this:

STEP 1 - Draw this rectangle.

STEP 2 - Add these circles.

STEP 3 - Add these triangles.

STEP 4 - Add these three lines, and then

STEP 5 -There you have it - Davinci's "The Last Supper"!

Man, What a cheat!

...and we're down to the final 3 hours countdown: "Live at 10AM!". I'm hoping Linnea and Peter didn't have a sleepless night and got some rest because today's going to be a busy day! Hotcakes for breakfast, anyone?

What I do is refresh their full profile page over and over until the current project on top changes (right now it's Pagan but it will change to Hotcakes once that launches): https://www.kickstarter.com/profile/1244376122" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

As there are only 25 of each Hot-Yellow, Edged Deck, shouldn't there only be 25 able to pledge since the $125 pledge gives 1 of each? There is 50 available right now... :?

Oh goodness, I was looking for those! I really need to read more carefully. Time to change my pledge again...

PS. I checked the main page and this is what it says: " Only fifty LE Decks and fifty RED decks will be made for this project. Decks will not be cello wrapped, but wrapped in vellum with a special "Hotcakes" seal."

Ok clarification time: There was a typo on the main page. It is now corrected and there will be 50 of each coloured decks, the pledge tiers were correct.

sigh, couldnt bear to jump in, it was simply out of my budget.

Wish I wasn't late on the draw and was able to pick up an edged deck, in for 1/2 brick so far. Hope to add on an uncut later.

And that's alright. I do hope everyone know that on this forum it's okay to not like what many others do like, just like it's okay to like decks that aren't liked by that many. I didn't care for Bluebloods, and so didn't pledge for that <shrug>

Hotcakes took about 24 hours to fund, does anyone remember how quickly the other Uusi decks funded? I got my customary brick, and it sounds like it will come in a custom brick box as well! I loved the custom Bohemia brick box and was incredibly disappointed that Pagan didn't reach the custom brick box stretch goal. I'm happy these will be included right from the start!
