Yeah, I didn't care for that first queen but every card shown since then has been *chef's kiss*

Unisono with above. Every reveal tends to pull me into the "I'm in" fraction.
The back is still not to my liking but I won't see it while swoon over the courts anyways ...

I love the sword that is thinner at the bottom and wider at the tip, it's almost Lotrék's trademark for the King of Spades and makes me smile whenever I see him, throughout his decks, haha.

Will the deck be Mnemonica stacked again, btw?

But of course. Expect a similar level of magic functionally to that if the Parlour. See 7oD reveal in KoH above for example.

Gaff card pack confirmed, Omar?

I think the gaff pack was a 750 or 800 percent stretch goal. If we get to those goals this time there’s no doubt the gaff pack will exist. But that’s a big if. We are hoping and crossing fingers.

This made me fall down the rabbit hole of Dynastinae...
After seeing how huge larva of the Hercules beetle becomes, I was like dafuq...

Could eat on that thing all day. Who's got the Worcestershire sauce?

That thing would make a hotdog blush ;>

Queen of Hearts is the best looking court for now. Excellent.

Given the artwork, since Omar is going with Cartamundi (right?), I’m thinking if for the premium/limited deck, it would be nice for the card faces to have gold foil too. Maybe as a stretch goal. Heh.

Hush, you don't wanna spoil Lotrek's KS exclusive deck!

On another matter, any chance TGW or even Lady Wake making a cameo appearance on the deck? Granted it's Tempest and not Parlor. Will there be any Tempest characters appearing on the Joker or Aces? Or maybe I'll just wait for more reveals.

Won't be seeing myself or lady wake make an appearance here. THat's a trope we decided not to carry forward. Although obviously there are some TGW traits that will carry forward (the rhino beetle, the monogram, the off-white eggshell color, the mnemonica stack, etc.)

No Aronson stack ever

That cross orb on this king would make one hell of a lapel pin.
(Just throwing this out there because I saw it and I thought it.)

Hot off the Prototype Press! The Gentleman Wake presents The Tale Of The Tempest Dusk Edition Designed by Lotrek. Join us for the launch of the Kickstarter campaign at Noon Eastern October 30th! Early bird specials! Many surprise unlocks!

This is going to turn some heads.

Yeah, now we're cooking!

Wow. Nice. The gold card backs are ink and not foil? Looks like it’s from Oath Playing Cards? :p

Dusk and Ocean editions! These are iphone shots taken by Lotrek after printing the proto. Better crisper images to come.

I have a feeling a third deck may be a stretch goal!

I am going to say "Golden Sunrise" At least something involving hot foil on the back.

Four is the standard number these days so, I place my bet on this.

Agreed. Plus a mini deck, being a magic oriented campaign and all.

Are the mini decks actually used in tricks? I always thought it was solely a novelty
