Easy fix: I will have one of them look left. Boom. Custom.

Is there a backstory to why we can see their guts?

They're seen from the POV of a young Clark Kent who still haven't mastered his powers.

You can thank me later, BW

That wouldn't be a back story. That would be a guts story.

Boo-ya.

Each suit represents a different system in the body. The courts highlight those systems by revealing a cross-section of sorts where we can witness impossible anatomy

Great, now I want to rethink the concept to that of a fledgling superhero learning his x-ray vision. Brilliant!

I noticed that seeing the courts make me deduct that the suits will represent each ethnic

Or maybe there is a message: No matter what you are, even on the higher position, remember your mortality. Unnus Annus

So, I'm disappointed that I didn't look at this thread earlier.

Hmmm, let me guess...... skeletal system, muscular system, cardiovascular system, and nervous system

And also these four suits going to represent different kingdoms, no doubt, based on the clothes: Medieval, Asian, Arabic, and African?

I will admit I'm not a fan of the artwork at all, but I will pick up a pair to support Bacon.

That means a lot - thank you! Artwork is very subjective, for sure. I am hoping when you see the whole project laid out it might help you enjoy the artwork better. Cheers

Wohoo, nailed the deduction
Wish there is respiration system or digestive system - theyre also important

While I can nothing but agreee to

% that it is of course important, I also applaud

for not choosing it to represent one suit; there're enough decks on the market that seem to come straight from there...

Definitely important! However, with only four suits, I decided to keep it focused on only four systems for a more cohesive feel.

This is actually hilarious. Where is the poop emoji?!

rousselle wrote: ↑Sat Dec 05, 2020 7:33 pm BadPete developed a concept with some folks who were successful card designers/promoters here (I can't recall off the top my head their name... the Scott Bros? Scotti Bros? Scott James? They had a number of successful projects before they disappeared.) I'm not sure why the project fizzled, but it was at about the same time that his collaborators fizzled out, so that probably had something to do with it.

Victor Jose (VJose, Jericoholic, et al) designed a deck, and I have one of the prototypes. Not sure why that didn't go further, either, but Victor is still here on the boards and active in the community.

Sprouts' concept was freakin' off the hook, but it needed more work and he ended up wandering off, as well. I miss Sprouts.

I'm really looking forward to your project, Baconwise! Bring on the teaser images!

Creating a deck is simple. Getting it funded is a whole different ball game. Once you look at costs involved to produce and ship to fulfilment centres, import taxes (if producer and fulfilment are in different countries), ks fees and the plethora of other costs. Plus the time it takes working through all this stuff. I can honestly see why a lot of decks never pass the prototype stage. It's a risk with very little reward.

But Bacon is a beast, so I am sure his deck will sail through the process.

Posted: **Wed Dec 30, 2020 4:06 pm**

Prototype pictures are out in the wild! Keep in mind these were printed with MPC, so the tuck does not show any embossing or foil that is planned. Also, card backs and court cards have had some slight adjustments from the designs seen here. Cheers!

Notification page is LIVE on Kickstarter!

Please feel free to follow the project and get a notification when I launch.

JANUARY 11TH @ 11:00 AM, PACIFIC (PST)

Also, I am giving away a prototype deck on my Instagram or FB page, if anyone is interested:

They also make a very interesting fan

I really like these.

I'm looking forward to this one. At the beginning I wasn't intrigued to be honest. The teasers didn't work for me. Now, after seeing the prototypes it makes much more sense. It definitely grew on me.
There are still small things that I personally would change - for example I would flip the ratio of the more normal to more customized pips - but overall I like it.
A tad more realistic - not completely - and it would be a jackpot for me personally. Overall it is a great deck nonetheless. Very well done.
Those jokers and the ace if hearts are my personal highlights - pure awesomeness

I tip my hat to you again

, for following through with that project and wish you the best of success for the campaign. While I can't be there financially due to circumstances, I'll try to help spread the word and keep rooting for the campaign.

That means a lot and it's something I love about this community. Any support would be greatly appreciated, whether backing, a shout-out, or just some positive vibes. This is a passion project for a hobby I love, so if it doesn't succeed, I will still be out there collecting. If it does succeed, I will feel proud knowing I created a project that doesn't lack the features you would expect from a premium deck. Thanks again for the kind words of encouragement and feel free to follow along!

Since you showed the Kickstarter page in your ig story, could you post a preview link so it's easier to view?

I don't think its fair for me to share that then if he hasn't.
