Pretty sure that Jackson thought his vision was do-able before he launched the project.

Pretty sure Lotrek did, too. And every other project creator who has dared to propose one on Kickstarter. Even Adam "Green Army Men" Clarkson certainly expected he'd be able to deliver.

The problem, as I see it, is HOW YOU RESPOND TO ADVERSITY. When it turns out that Adam hit a speed bump on the way to bringing his project to completion, he folded up and ran. With my money.

That is not what Jackson, or Lotrek, or many other of our favorite creators do.

Every single time that Jackson has run into adversity (which is always a greater risk for the project creators who try more audacious projects), he has tried to find a way to still deliver something his backers would feel was worth the effort. And, so far at least, every time that has been an open question, he has also offered money back to any backer who didn't like the proposed resolution. The same is true of Lotrek. The same is true of any number of our favorite creators whose reach has occasionally exceeded their grasp.

I, for one, hope that Jackson continues to try audacious new ideas (and Lotrek, and others.) Sure, I also hope they adjust their approach as they learn what doesn't work and what does. But, for crying out loud, there's no glory if you don't take a risk, and that's what Kickstarter is about; letting us help in sharing the risk and, hopefully, enjoying a piece of the glory when it comes around.

If more creators took your proposed path of only doing what they know will work, there'd be no need for Kickstarter at all. And no experimentation. And, universal banality.

Live and sold out

Actually not sold out, plenty of single decks left. I'm guessing more will be added on later?

I would've pledged for four gilded decks but it wasn't a tier for that.

I'm not asking anyone to abandon audacious ideas just to try it out first, make a prototype, see if it's doable, not wait until after a project is done to find out, I don't think that's too much to ask.

He just added more slots to two of the legacy edition tier editions. Act fast if you want one.

And the extra G1 and H1 slots are sold out now.

Still plenty of A1s and C1s.

I was lucky enough to get both editions

I went for D1 - one limited and one gilded. Added on a couple of player editions.

Same, 1 player.

So what's the deal with the Player edition? Is it just a not-as-limited edition?

A display deck so you don't have to open a numbered deck.

Either my math sucks or the total number of gilded decks adds up to 120

Ah, I guess that explains the name

Your math doesn't suck. You're right

dogbone72 wrote:Either my math sucks or the total number of gilded decks adds up to 120

You're right.

Snoozed on this one and missed the gilded. Oop!

So Jackson can't even add? What's he going to do now? Tell 20 people sorry but your screwed? Randomly draw names, lol

@dogbone72,

JR was having Youtube live chat before + after Pearl was live so I told him after seeing your math and adding it myself "You sold 120 gilded". JR later said more may be added (200 total). Sorry to steal your glory but maybe more gilded decks.

Well then that's false advertising. The project clearly states ONLY 100. Such bs.

Able to grab 2 Gilded. Shame you can't add on the Ltd editions too.

He has a spreadsheet and adding the 35 Legacy decks, project had only 15 to start, upped the gilded numbers.

More Tiers open now

They're std. + gilded!

Yeah so much for ONLY 100, why the blatant bullshit lying?

The KS page have been updated to show 850 non gilded & 200 gilded decks produced, at least it makes sense now.

jerichoholic wrote:Yeah so much for ONLY 100, why the blatant bullshit lying?

It's because he screwed up his math on the Legacy tiers. He wanted to do 100 because KS is asking project creators to do a limited "make 100" thing if they want for the month of January. JR hates figuring out tier totals.
