It would be better just to have, "Joker." The Joker doesn't work.

Not a fan of the hand. I would rather have 2 raven jokers.

I'd be more interested to see its application in magic. Seems like a carefully thought out design.

Since it will be USPCC we'll have 56 cards: 2 gaff cards on top of the 52+2jokers.

Joker or The Joker, that might change to Joker.. secondary thing, thanx for the feedback
I am a big fan of the hand

I'd prefer to see two Ravens as well, though that raven has an "OH SHIT!" look about him as it looks like he's going to get squashed.

I actually love that Raven pose. It is definitely unique from the traditional perched pose.

I am always fine with two distinctly different Jokers (And I don't mean one just showing a trick card). So I like the hand and Raven Jokers.

I love both the Joker cards, though I agree that you can remove 'The' from Joker. I am very interested to know more about the symbols and their meanings

Instead of 2 gaff cards, maybe a third Joker could be made to satisfy those that don't like the hand?

I'd like to nominate that Jack'O make an appearance. Think he'd fit in great with a raven.

I'd just like to say, that this is how ambigrams are suppose to be done. Usually they're done horribly wrong *cough* Ultimate Deck *cough*. But Lorenzo nailed it with the Ravn design.

I agree- awesome ambigram!

I usually dislike ambigrams, but I wouldn't have even noticed that was one, if you hadn't pointed it out. Looking very awesome.

Hello everybody!

sorry for my absence, but I was on vacation for Christmas visiting my family in Italy
I am back in Stockholm and I finalized the Ravn Playing Cards tuckbox, which might need some small tweak.. but I think it´s ready.

The plan is to use natural pearl paper (as Arcana), red, black, metallic gold and embossing.
Probably me and Caroline will be able to start the campaign in a month or less.
Printed at USPCC on Bicycle paper, but we are considering Bee paper and Magic Finish.... any feedback about this?

Here a homemade mock-up. I hope you like it

Speaking just for myself, we love it.
I wish I could reproduce the delicate sound of a Ravens approval, it goes something like this ....

Phaaaaa-aaaaarrrrk .... with the Doppler in passing .... you know .... ?

Bee paper would be good. I love the feel of my Honeybees.

Does this project have a Kickstarter date yet?

Guys

I finally have a fate for this one
tomorrow we launch, with 100 early birds of different sorts

I leave here the campaign preview only for UC
feel free to comment, tonight I do a few tweaks and adds. I hope the english is good enough and the rewards are ok.
As always I start with a simple campaign, that gets more articulated depending on the stretch goals and the funding.

cheers!

Would you consider adding early bird for 6 decks?
I'm thinking about 6 red and add 6 green decks later.

i will tweak the early brick (and brick) reward and make it split brick (6+6) if the green unlocks.
Same for 4 and 6 decks rewards.
But there is no 6deck early bird at the moment, the price for 6 is already tight

I love it when creators post the pre-Kickstarter link. I know exactly what tier I would like to get and I can decide if I need to sacrifice sleep living in an unfriendly time zone. I'm looking forward to these.

Thank you. That's exactly what I want.

So we can split the decks (say 2 deck EB) once green is unlocked?

Yes, just need to tweak the rewards text to make it clear since the beginning. same as heretic and no.17

This is now live, also beat Pierre to #1, that's a personal achievement.

I am glad i provide an extra source of entertainment. Scrolling all the way down for that brick made me slow hehehe I am glad you are happy though. As long as you get what you want that is what really matters

So much for cutting back

Damn these past 3 weeks I have said the same thing to myself Paul.. I can't find my local chapter of Cardaholic anonymous [BACON]

If my wife knew how much I spend on cards, I'd be dead already.

+1

Updated the OP with the "kickup" tracker for Kickstarter and Kicktraq both.

Of course I didn't have cell signal at launch but I'm still in.

Backed! Perhaps not a masterpiece like Gemini, but a nice, solid deck of cards that I will be happy to own. I really hope we hit those stretch goals, I want to have a nice tuck on this
