The court should be bigger. To much white space to the suit indicator. What is a suit indicator? Oh, god. This is the definition.

"Sprouts: I think you may need to include this explanation every time this comes up, since it seems very few has actually heard of suit indicators as a term.

darkmatter: A suit indicator is the big pip that traditionally is put on court cards, which is separate from the indices. The indices are in the corner and have the value and a pip, while the suit indicator is a separate bigger pip usually located on either side of the court's head. Its function is to make the suit more distinguishable from a distance."

It's changed. A suit indictor is a big pip that is traditionally put on the court cards which is separate from the indices. The indices are in the top corner of the card and have the rank and suit of the card. Typically, it is the same size as the pip. It's function is to make the suit of the card more distinguishable from a distance.

Another preview of Heren (light side) of Teliad: ...and more from the dark side: Teliad dùr with silver metallic And one more - the backs for Teliad Heren:

Oh my... these cards are GORGEOUS! Let's hope they arent too $$$ per deck....

Are you feeling immortal? Kardify broke the news today that there's a third deck for Teliad - "Alfrin", to compliment the previously mentioned Heren (light side) and dùr (dark).

Here's are some more exclusive pix I had to wait before I could show: There's some symbolism in the dragon. If you have been keeping up, you already know (see Riccardo's interview on Max's site).

Guys & gals, would you like to have a 24-hours preview of the Teliad project that launches Monday at noon EST / NYC time? I think I can talk Riccardo into posting a preview link to the Kickstarter campaign page here tomorrow for us to take a look at, given that we are all pretty good at finding problems with these pages and might be able to eliminate a small problem in wording or pricing from the page before it goes live on Leap Day, 29-February "when world collide".

Every four years the stars align and open a portal to middle earth, and we're less than two days away from the time when orcs and elves and dwarfs and humans begin the final (millennial?) battle for middle earth.

Please take a look at the Teliad project's campaign page which unlocks in 24 hours, and give Riccardo and his Passione Team (the artists are primarily Federico Bollo and Maurizio Toccafundi this time) some feedback and constructive criticism. Pay special attention to spelling, pricing consistency and how the basics all fit together.

We already consolidated a few tiers and simplified wording in certain places to clearly show what happens when the stretch goal unlocks the third deck "Teliad dùr", the dark side. In the beginning Teliad Heren unlimited deck and 1000 decks of Teliad Alfrin will be available, as well as some add-ons. As the funding moves up, more goodies like the Dragon to display Teliad decks will become available.
Teliad - the battle for middle earth begins at noon my time tomorrow. Don't forget to use http://www.timeanddate.com to calculate local time for you: the Early Bird pledges go first!

I found and posted an error on the Kickstarter preview. I love when creators do this so a) I can check out pledge levels; b) look for errors.

We appreciate it also, but I know Riccardo had a full day of work before it launches at 6PM his time [Central Europe] tomorrow, so he's (hopefully) asleep. I'm sure that anything reported will be fixed before it is time to unlock the door!

Thanks again...

More than 20% funded in under an hour: thanks guys & gals, you never disappoint!

And 60% in 30 hours, over $10,000. Keep them coming!

To be honest, the pics in this KS really aren't that great. But the pics in Love is a Smoke weren't fantastic either. But the actual decks are so much better than expected that I backed this one for a brick.

For me this is more backing and trusting the artist than the actual campaign.

I only wish I could score a deck of Avernum...

I almost overlooked this thread. I like the Heren, wish the backs' color look similar to the tuck instead of red and white. Also interested in the Dur deck more than the green one.

True, there was 11+months between posts before a month ago, which is why I always use the potion (option, too) to show New Messages.

Hi! Thank you for your comment.

We try to do our best to give renderings that help people visualize the artwork. Do you have suggestions for improving our technique?

It was an option. you are right. But.. the tuck case in Heren should be "leather" that's why it's different from the back. At least this is the concept behind

Now that the two decks originally offered are funded, Riccardo & company are concentrating on the $30,000 stretch goal to unlock the Teliad dùr "immortal" deck. Here's a new pix of the tuck box on the unique Fedrigoni Italian made paper stock:

(take a CLOSE look!)

got my order in today. They look very nice. For those who missed out I have a few extras that I would sell, including a 2 deck set. Just PM me

I got mine today and they're AWESOME. For some reason I thought dur got unlocked and a mistake was made but oh well, Heren came out so great I don't mind owning two of them
