From the upcoming Overbite deck

At the moment I am ready to bite off more than I can chew of it

Just received two "standard" Overbite decks, and both tucks are different. Does anybody know how many different tucks were created for the standard editions? Are there multiples of the limited and gilded editions, as well? (I subscribe to one of each; just curious if there are other styles out there.)

There are three different tucks and they are sent out at random. Same tucks for the limited and gilded if I recall correctly.

So, 1 type of tuck has 3 editions (std, ltd, gld) and so on...? so 9 decks that includes 3 unique tucks and has std, ltd, gld? hopefully it is not confusing

Standard Overbite tuck variations:

From what I understand there are 3 tucks. 3 for standard, the same 3 for limited and again same 3 for gilded. Not 9 diff ones

So you're saying the 3 limited and 3 gilded are all different so there are 9 total tucks?

I am confused as well. I received three unnumbered decks, but I am set to receive 3 standard decks, one limited and one gilded. I was trying to figure out if two are limited and gilded, but unnumbered. I guess these are the three standard decks. I guess I will get my limited and gilded later? Dang, this is confusing.

I remember when Jackson was working on this in previous years, his vision was for a multiple tuck design, but eventually realized it was going to be way too costly/complicated to make. I loved the concept though (monsters inside of monsters for the tuck). I think it was even going to be the limited would have an extra tuck and the gilded another extra tuck (at least that was an idea he was considering).

It's being hinted on the discord that the gilded versions will have some sort of sleeve/special box. No details have bene sharded yet.

I was supposed to receive 4 standard decks and I received that today, 2 of one tuck, 1 each of the others. The limited and gilded decks will follow later.

if someone has the patience to watch this then what is the summary? this is 3 minutes of info with 7 minutes of memes. it's unwatchable. after every sentence theres a new meme video clip. wtf

TLDR: JR is canceling ALL subs in 2024 except Table Players Guilded. He will be focusing on "bigger" releases through Kickstarter and the like, hoping to really refresh his creative juices. And yes, the video is annoying as heck.

thanks I appreciate it

Well, on the positive side, I no longer need to struggle with the decision of how long to continue my KW subscription

Enjoy them plenty, but I knew one year would eventually be my last - and those are hard calls.

This works for me. I'd already canceled my table players and vintage subscriptions and was considering doing so also for No. 13. I'd definitely noticed he'd gotten a bit bogged down by the weight of his commitments. And wasn't taking as much time on the individual decks as he once had. I love his work in general so this is a great plan that should result in better decks and from the sounds of it be more fulfilling for him as an artist.

That is their video format, the weekly Wednesday updates follow the same,

intro
(meme)
production update
(meme)
joke
(meme)
get tripped up on words
(meme)
announce what deck is on sale for a week
(meme)
announce anything that is being released
(meme)
sign off

its definitely a tolerance/taste item.

I guess I will watch the video. I did feel that for some reason this year was kind of less interesting, but I was still game for another year at the No. 13 subscription. I still feel that Jackson is one of the most talented artists out there. He can definitely accomplish a wide range of styles. When he wants to crank out artwork, he can do it better than anyone I have seen. I am glad I was able to stay on this subscription program from the beginning to the end.

This seems like a great move so that he can consolidate his creativity and really let his passion shine through. Quality over quantity and he's got the base to support it. I'm eager to see what he comes up with.

there was a q&a on instagram afterwords

6 "tentatively" (word of the stream) kickstarters, some site exclusive sales

return of the king in march hobbit in august

something licensed he was really keen on in January.

would not show any of the decks

no endurance streams, or likely any streams since a lot of the work is on the LOTR decks which he cant show until its approved.

Some info from the video I haven't seen posted yet:

The reason Table Players will continue is that the artwork is already done. Only gilded because apparently that is the most popular one. He looks back on the sub decks and feels they haven't always been fully developed due to the time constraints.

All current subscribers will have early access to KWP website releases throughout next year -- non-subscribers can add this for $50/year

if you have an hours patience this should lead to the q&a

other things I forgot

2 new legal tenders

1. swiss 2. us currency if Jackson designed it.

For the 3 minute videos, I like em fine. For an 11 minute video, it becomes annoying as the aforementioned heck.

Much more from the live IG:

Thank you very much, it was very painful to watch his videos, especially for a person whose English is not good

$50 for early access? That's a joke right? No other benefit other than just early access?

And as to the video... their editor really needs to tone it down. Unbelievably painful watch. Less is more.

kings wild be like we don't care about your comments about our meme clips so much that we will spend half of the Wednesday update video discussing it and calling you all basement dwelling losers.

Wow, thought you were joking but nope, that's exactly what he said. Well that's me done with KWP, disparaging people is a great way to lose customers.
