Hi guys! We're getting close...

Transparency report is live and can be viewed if you're a geek at the below link

http://jocu.cards/fillide-transparency-report

It basically lists all the steps we've taken to ensure campaign fulfilment and anticipate any issues or problems. Let me know if you think it's too much or too little.

The campaign will be submitted today although some minor changes may happen before Tuesday with images and such. Do let us know what you think of the current state of it if you haven't checked back for a few days.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/di ... n=7cbf43c3

Thanks again! Follow the campaign if you can it gives us a warm, fuzzy feeling inside.

Hi Jocu,

looks great so far. But first, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you! And you know exactly why ;) !

Second, is it possible to add-on two pieces by Alessandra Gagliano? Can't decide between the ace of spades and ace of diamonds.
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.

:lol: If you like I can get MPC to make a special deck for you :lol: I hope that the new E7 stock that the Cohorts uses changes your mind about Cartamundi, but for now at least I'm pretty sure it's exclusive...

Of course you can! The best way would be to pledge for the collector and add on from there, or add two of them from any of the other premium tiers. We'll clarify anything in the survey at the end of the campaign and I'm sure she'll want to share her ideas about colours and such with you before starting work on it so she'll be in touch :)

Hahaha, thanks that would be too much of a special.

Just to clarify. I like Cartamundi. C9 is my second favorite finish. They have great customer support; always an ear to the community; they innovate and develop new stuff and they are always down for a talk. And of course I’m hyped for E7 :P

Thank you for answering all questions and the best of luck for the campaign. Pretty hyped about that deck. Great work from you and Alessandra.

A quick update. We now have final quotes in and whilst we’re all good for our standard - already pretty blinged out - deck the cold foil stretch goal will have to be at a much higher point than I’d provisonally listed.

So if anyone noticed the stretch goals before I’ve played this down a bit now as it will significantly increase the goal. It’ll be a nice target but as im Just focusing on getting funded I’ll leave it as a question mark on the campaign page and if things are going well we’ll announce it :)

Idiocy of the Flat Earth Concept is not to be joked about.

It's a serious disease.

You guys are fantastic. I'll do a big shout out to UC (I should've put it in the campaign thinking about it...) in our updates. This community has been essential in getting to where we are now. And continues to support us :)

Thank you guys!

As a note if you'd like to share here your add-on breakdowns it could speed things up at the end of the campaign (assuming it to continues to go so well!).

The campaign page looks fantastic.

I like the design but wasn't inclined to pledge, but given the trouble you had to been able to provide "free" shipping to EU backers, I had to support that, so I'm in!
Best of lucks for the campaign.

Thank you! I really hope that free EU shipping catches on as it's really no more hassle or complicated than offering free US shipping. The amount of campaigns I see printing with Cartamundi in Belgium and then only offering free US shipping irks me a little. Hopefully we can change things up a bit :)

100% agreed. My Ravn brick flew from Belgium to the States, just to be shipped back to Europe... xD

You know the craziest thing is with the postal service here in Italy and presumably some other parts of Europe, it's actually cheaper to do that than ship domestically. I got charged €8 to send a deck to the UK last week but Gambler's Warehouse will do it for about €7.50. It's mainly because international shipping is a thing in the states and here in Europe it's more of some crazy radical idea (like, why would you want to send something so far away?) but fortunately we've found a shipping company that offers business shipping rates through UPS and such to consumers so we're finally able to do it!

I'm in, no doubt about it. Great project, great art, everything about this is class.

Super minor typo: in the Brick of Bricks tier, you have "eight eight" instead of "eighty eight".
