Arcana by Chris Ovdiyenko

23 pledges so far on the gilded. Have we hit the ceiling ?

I think there might be some people doing a last minute jump on it before it ends

I think its usually the other way around, more people do last minute jump outs than in. You will see a spike in the 48-24hr mark, after that you usually start losing some backers towards the very end

As of writing this, 27 out of 30 sets are taken. That's a lot of high rollers.

[EvanEssence]

brick = 135
10 prints = 500
brick plus 10 prints plus gilded decks = 500....

If this is your big project to support in 2015, the gilded level is a no brainer

It's official, Chris has sucked more out of me than any other of the 100 or so previous Kickstarter projects. Plus, I'm still considering a last minute print addition not yet pledged. Congrats Chris, this is an amazing project with amazing art, run by a great guy. 5 stars.

[Mike Ratledge]

The clock runs out about noon NYC time, and it becomes the 10th KS campaign funded over $100,000 and easily slides into the bronze medal spot, taking 3rd place. Only three projects have ever jumped over $150k...

Congrats to Chris for a perfectly run campaign. I'm still puzzled by palladium, though. Pretty much the same look as silvered, but I suppose the claim to fame is that they will be the only ones ever made, at least as far as I know.

[badpete69]

Only 2 left! Come on for those on the fence.. You know you will feel guilty not pledging once the project ends...

[ecNate]

Just posted JoC. Dang it! This is making me think I need to get a print, mostly because I've been catching up on Game of Thrones and this just speaks to that so well, plus it's just awesome artwork.




So.... because he hasn't presented all the images together so I can really see which I might prefer as a print or which for an uncut, plus if I need yet ANOTHER deck to simply play with, I created some side by side collages. Yeah, more will be added later and we have time, but I'm just trying to confirm that I only need a single uncut and if I really need a print or not. Figured I would share if others are struggling too. This is all card images shared so far. NOTE - click to zoom in if needed

V day only 4 days away, I can't even consider the gilded pledge unfortunately. I hope they're picked up too though. I like seeing sold out on the limited tiers loaded with goodness.

Thanks for doing this. After seeing the cards together, I realized I needed to add an uncut.

#2 all time now

[DragonSoul]

Whew! I agonized over this one for the last hour. Thank goodness the last two are gone.
Now, I can stop trying to figure out a way to afford that gilded level!

Now you can agonize for the rest of the year for not getting them hehehehe

[DragonSoul]

Probably!

#2 all time now

I assume you mean because of Name of the Wind which had close to $600k (exploding kittens doesn't count), but amazing that it passed up Fed 52 II, plus Meurtos and Fed 52 I long ago. I was wondering if it will crack $200k, but looks like not. Still, this is a homerun!

[badpete69]

$190592 very nice. And as usual you have the guy that prevents someone else to get the level by cancelling at the last seconds geeeeezzzzzzzz I hate those people

EDIT: Everyone will be getting a free silver antique coin... cool

Looks like the Oracle coin per his comment

Free reward for every backer is a antique silver finish version of the Oracle coin. For everyone! Thanks so much you guys!!!

I guess that means this, but in silver? Cool, I'll take that!

[DragonSoul]

Knowing that there is 1 gilded set unspoken for is making me twitch.

It'll be awesome to receive an antique silver version of the Oracle coin. Very nice gift!

[EvanEssence]

What will we start the bidding for the last gilded set at?

[Dent-de-Lion]

well… couldn’t resist, got the two deck Arcana set, It’s fantastic to see how well Chris did, he deserves it, a really wonderful project. Very inspiring to see!

[EvanEssence]

Don't settle yourself short! Excited for Leonardo too

[ecNate]

Not sure if there is anybody on here who DIDN'T get in on this one, but he posted an update from early print decks he received. Wow! If you didn't get in on it, hustle and pick them up while you can after they become available.

[Gareth]

They look so nice that although I picked up a brick, but am starting to wonder whether that was enough.

13,000 decks! That's going to take some fulfillment.

[EvanEssence]

Probably a good idea to jump on another brick when they're available on the DOP website...and not 60 plus dollars per deck


cough...calaveras...cough

[Lord Nikon]

I should be getting my Arcana decks and the Midnight Calaveras sometime soon. If anyone is interested in taking them off my hands, please send me a message. I sort of need to liquidate a few decks.

[EvanEssence]

Just got my 2015 deck of the year candidates in the mail.

[EvanEssence]

More pictures...Not sure why they're small?

[EvanEssence]

There are cards that will go with any deck you open...cards were in a separate bundle, along with the coin.

Just got my 2015 deck of the year candidates in the mail.

I feel the same way, but haven't got mine yet. Did you get a shipment notice and tracking number or was it just a surprise when it showed up?

Also, did you not get the major arcana expansion or alternate tucks? Was hoping to see photos of those cards and comparison of the tucks.
