If you are in for a brick, you might want to consider stretching for a Propaganda Box. Gio throws in a lot of nice stuff for his top tier packages. I haven't done it yet, but I do get a bit envious of those that are able to pick them up after Gio bestows tons of goodies on them.

Agreed! Always a great deal with Gios kickstarters

Can't promise another stunt like Gold Monolith (that one was probably a big surprise to the Monolith's Campaign Boxes), but doing my best for make the Propaganda Box worthwile.

Since we are talking about extras.... ere are my ideas for the stretch goals/add-ons.

- Coin (pure addon, free in the Box)
- Brick Box (free for bricks)
- Booklet with story (addon/free for certain pledges)

Which one of those you like? I don't know if I can make all of them, those are just ideas. But I wanted ask you a feedback

Coin made to look like the Order's identity badge?
Old propaganda governments use badges to segregate themselves apart from the Other, like the SS for the Nazi and the Jewish star badge for the Jews (for example only).

Brick box for sure

Would love to. Can never afford it tho.

Personally, I would like to see something that also effects lower tier backers

Yes, a Coin is planned and it will be a sort of a premium currency for the Upper Party. The idea of the badge is not bad, though.

There will be surprises for everyone

You convinced me, switched to Propaganda Box.

Hah, how about an identity badge. Those in higher tiers get higher level badges, those in lower tiers are grunts!

From the project lore point of view this idea is fantastic

With one badge "Huntress' prey"

Awesome campaign Gio.

Everything from the images to the language used in emails and updates. Fantastic use of the theme.

And a really nice shift from your usual style whilst still being you. In for a trident!

Idk how cost prohibitive it would be, but mbe a military style medal

Missed the EB's (sad trombone). If anyone plans to upgrade and open a Trident EB, please let me know!

Well, fine. You pushed me over the edge. I went Propaganda.

May my wallet forgive me.

I am in as I hope to see full bleed red foil (both sides) for LTD edition. Am I a dreamer?

BTW, I'll have one or two spare sets. If some New Zealand backers want to share costs, PM me.

Hello Guys! Thank you for the awesome support! We're at 30k already and going fast. It seems one of my most funded campaign yet! I hope it will continue this way

I‘m a little late to the party. Congratulations for the phenomenal start. Well deserved Gio. The campaign page is hilarious; but I aswell like the serious undertone. Great project.
Since I don‘t have free funds right now, I‘m not able to back. But I will most definetly check the decks out after fullfillment. Revolutio is almost a must have for me, depending on which printer you‘ll choose. The other decks will end up in my collection aswell, I wanna see the whole story.

Again, great Job.

Shiroo, (yes, I am speaking from experience) Gio is exceptionally nice; I'm sure if you were to ask him politely to set a trio aside on your behalf he'd let you, while keeping the KS price (which is currently ~K200 with shipping). Just make sure you pay him before the last call for addresses go out, because "any delay - will - be - noted"

As always, pledge on Kickstarter is better - but if's not possible, I usually give to the ones couldn't pledge during the campaign the chance to get the decks with a good price, usually similar to Kickstarter.
Tridents are almost gone, just 25 left when I am writing - I've opened a new tier for "late birds".

Printer will be or Cartamundi or USPCC - I am waiting informations for decide

Forza tomato soup?!!!!!!
Gio you're a genius!!!!!

I can't stop laughing... Help....

Yea I am a little silly - I wanted a funny name and I thought to give an Italian name (Forza is Strength in italian btw)

A little background: I don't like Tomato nor Cigarettes at all. I've used those two products in Order Imperium on purpose

Believe me, having faced many times Italians in international competitions, I've heard "Forza Italia" quite a few times

Tomato Soup is not my favorite as is, but with other stuff, it is magical. Lasagna, spaghetti, pizza (!) it makes the dish. Italy made tomatoes an essential ingredient in tasty food! Who could have imagined? Well the Italians of course.

They cheat... They have the country and the weather that provide the perfect tomatoes. Everything tastes incredible with those tomatoes ( not the ones we get in Belgium labelled as "Italian tomatoes").

Yes, also "Forza Italia" was one of the most popular political parties in Italy (not very popular anymore). I am almost sure that the Leader of that party is famous worldwide

Anyways yes, my people have many flaws, but on food they're very good (I am an not typical italian, I am a terrible cook and I don't like soccer).
Pasta and pizza are super, one of the perks of live in Italy I guess.

However, the Order Citizen does not have Pizza nor Pasta. Just soup. And Cigarettes.

Judging by the previous campaigns, what kind of extras can one expect? Or rather what was included in similar tiers in the past?

Thank you and cheers!

Okay, I get the point of cigarettes and tomato soup now.

Off topic of the whole Order deal. Gio, I think you should practice your cooking. Cooking is so much like art. Also, like most anything, it takes practice. Start simple and work your way up. Experiment a little. Bring friends over and let them give you tips and try new things. Try a few recipes. You will be surprised at how fast you catch on. Soon you will have favorite dishes that you get very good at, which you like. But never forget to experiment with new things regularly. I can remember one time when making pizza adding sugar to my sauce and being completely floored that that sugar had been my missing ingredient. After I talked about it with some more experienced chefs, they laughed and told me sugar is an essential ingredient in almost everything. Who knew? (Well a lot of people but me - )

New excuse me while I grill some steaks and hamburgers (so much for great complex cooking)
