I want to add on the tarot cloth or switch tiers... but can someone tell me the difference between tarot cloth and a normal piece of cloth?

Nothing really as far as I know, but tarot cloths will usually have colors or even imagery on the fabric that matches the deck, so when people use the deck and do various spreads with the cards on the cloth, it looks nice and matches Of course people could mix and match, and there are also tarot cloths sold on their own

Soooo... COLOURS? OWO OWO WOW OWO OWO WOW OWO OWO. I'm very happy I'll probably add it. I just love colours.

I wanna go all out on this campaign. Besides the deck, I wonder what other uses I'll have for the tarot cloth if I choose to get it? I googled tarot cloth, a lot of them are ugly but the one for this campaign looks good by itself and fits with the deck.

X.X Lorenzo is just gooooood in collecting money through his absolute designs and illustrations XD
No offense intended, his designs are just divine

400%!
Pocket size mini Keymaster Tarot as add-on now...(No gilding, no gold foil but I like it)

I am in for some mini decks. I really like these. I am spending a lot on this campaign.

Not at 400%. The mini Tarot decks were a planned released, not a stretch goal. The 400% stretch goal is going to be free pouches for Superior and Ultimate tiers.

Yes, you're correct!

If anyone doesn't look at KS that much, here are some photos of the release items.

And here is the Mini deck mentioned by caribcards:

Stockholm17 is an expert of robbing out our money with his excellent design XD

This will be one of very few projects that I only get the basics (no add-ons) and only 1 deck.

I just don't see myself opening it often enough that I'd need a backup. Gnome saiyan?

Plus, my cats would probably just murder the cloth, anyways.

Tarot is quite an interesting game which is till today pretty popular in France. It is a simple trick taking game with trump cards. The highest trump takes the trick.

I've notice there is a Tarot deck which is designed specifically for the trick taking game - Tarot Nouveau. The suits still using the modern four suits - spade, heart, club, diamond. The court cards have four, with reversible images - Jack (valet), Knight (chevalier), Queen (dame), King (roi). The trump cards, 21 of them, have number indicies of 1-21, and the image on the middle is not reversible, each card represents two scenes.

I wonder, if I am willing to make a custom Tarot cards specific for gaming like this?

Not sure if anyone's keeping track but the exchange rate seems to have gone up at least $4USD since the onset of this campaign. Just an FYI.

Well, that depends on how much you pledged. Conversion rate always fluctuates. Past 30 days has been a high of 0.10590 and a low of 0.10190. If you are in the Attic, you could see a $15 USD swing from when you pledged to when it is collected, depending on what the rate is when it ends.

Great minds think alike.

My rate fluctuation has been a heck of a lot more than $15. But, I think it went the other way on HotRS campaign. As I recall, the conversion rate went in my favor through that campaign. Either way, I am all over another Stockholm 17 campaign. Even though Lorenzo reused his HorRS artwork, there is so much new awesome artwork, I am stoked to get this stuff. All the cool extras just makes S17 campaigns an event.

I'll just stop by the library and get a nice book to read up in the attic.

Seeing Bradius is in, there is just one question - how does a Tarot deck brick box look like?

The really funny thing is I am getting a brick of them. So, yeah Lorenzo, what does a tarot brick box look like?

Edit: Err, I forgot the mini-Tarot decks....Make that 17 tarot decks.

Called it.

You sure did Havonsgard.

I have not regretted going crazy for Lorenzo's campaigns. I am actually spending a bit more than I did for HotRS campaign. So, I have something like below to look forward to in several months. If anyone is still on the fence, I urge you to dive in while you can. Lorenzo really does deliver great stuff.
BTW, is that a cookie crumb or something on the table in the front of the photo? Dang, that is really bothering me now...I need to be more careful in the future.

It probably fell out of my mouth when I saw your picture, sorry about that

I love how Bradius trys to hide the third brick behind the three X6 Carat Cases .

I have two Gatekeepers and I don't feel bad at all now after seeing that pic. Thanks!

Just as I was about to post the below message, the UC boards went down. I did manage to save it, so I could post it once the site came back up. Sorry for the long delay...is there a computer based COVID-19 running around?

Actually, I wasn't trying to hide the third brick. That brick box was empty. Those decks were moved into the two extra 6x Carat Cases that were specially made for that campaign. Those two cases were an add-on to my bundles. After the campaign, I did get a fourth brick of just Cartomancer off of Stockholm17s shopify site. I have now two bricks of just Cartomancer decks and two mixed bricks, plus my two Gatekeeper bundles, which are 5 decks each. I basically ended up with five bricks. Yeah, I know....but it really was relatively cheap as bundles.

That leads me to the Keymaster Attic Bundle. The Attic Bundle is 3,000 SEK, or showing now at about $318, which includes US shipping. So, it is an all in cost. If I wanted to pay the add-on cost for what is included in the bundle, what would it cost? Below is your answer:

1 - Keymaster Basic - 370 SEK
1 - Keymaster Superior - 550 SEK
1 - Keymaster Ulitimate - 990 SEK
1 - Art Book - 350 SEK
1 - Card Guard - 110 SEK
1 - Card Stand - 95 SEK
1 - Keymaster Uncut Sheet - 400 SEK
1 - Pouch - 60 SEK
1 - Tarot Cloth - 360 SEK
1 - Keymaster Mini deck - 160 SEK
3- Keymaster Pins - 120 SEK
6 - Stickers - 60 SEK

So, if you paid the add-on price for each item, it comes to .... 3,625 SEK. You can do that for each tier. Just so you know, there will likely be extras that will be unsold because Lorenzo needs extras due to shipping and damage issues. The extras will likely go on sale in his store after all the shipping and damage issues are resolved and he has his personal stash. Those that go on sale will be for a bit more than what the Kickstarter price was, and they will have shipping on top. For those in EU, those purchased through his store come from Gamblers Warehouse, so international shipping and customs will come into play.

So, at 17% off, that Ultimate deck is only 822 SEK. The Keymaster Superior is 457 SEK. You get the idea. If you were going to get the Keymaster Ultimate at 990 SEK, the Attic Tier gets you everything else at 20% off. So, the Keymaster Superior marginal cost drops to 440 SEK. If you can swing it, those bundles do pack some real value. Again, the tax savings for EU people is even bigger.

I say all this to point out the bundles are a nice deal. Also, the EU friendly shipping is great for those in the EU. If you want this stuff, Kickstarter is the way to go.

Just hit 400% in the closing rounds!

This is one hell of a campaign, I went all out plus getting the free stuff. I did think of getting the pouch but now it's free.

Just picked up another 6 mini decks. In for a whole brick of them. They are just so damn adorable looking!

Oh snap my neck and murder me. That's a lot of stuffs you got - all of these would costs me all my limbs to get it X.X

For those that are fans of Lorenzo's work, but not a Stockholm17 Patreon, you should really consider becoming a Patreon backer of his. For $2 per month, you get access to his Patreon posts. Not to spoil too much, but he is currently posting ideas for his next deck..just saying.
