Ahhh…This deck has already been sold in China, created by a cardistry player, published by bpcc and in stock , That's why the goal is so low.

Can you post a link to it in China? Did they use that King of Hearts?


I did find this searching for BPCC on taobao:

“Overall, I would advise caution when backing this Kickstarter project. It is possible that the creator is genuine and that the project will be successful, but there are enough red flags to warrant some skepticism.”
I swear I have written and posted this exact sentence somewhere, but I can't find it here on UC. Like, this is completely my voice coming out of Bard's, uh, generative, proverbial mouth. So freakin' weird.

Not that weird imho. AI is an echo chamber or a distortion mirror if you want. Just like a hill myna it can only repeat what has been said before and doesn't really create an answer.
You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.

So using Kickstarter as a store which it isn't supposed to be. Gotcha.

In fact, this issue is quite complicated, because there are independent crowdfunding platforms in China, and many campaigns can be completed on them, but as an author, you must want to sell your works to the world. Either use Murphysmagic's channel, but Murphysmagic will often make your card unremarkable, or choose to go on Kickstarter again, so that you can increase your visibility.
So, I can't say whether it's good or bad.

ps.I usually use a translator, so my words are a little strange. I hope they don't affect your understanding

I get that people can and do use Kickstarter for visibility. The problem being that Kickstarter says it isn't a store, which also means that it says it isn't liable if someone doesn't deliver. So what I can say is that it's bad for customers, because they have much less protection on Kickstarter than if they buy from a store.
