Here's a preview of the upcoming KS campaign: http://tinyurl.com/pas3758" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Let me know what you think (prices, layout, rewards) the floor is open!

Awesome. And thanks for letting us add the 1st edition to the pledge. I have been meaning to get one.

Don't mention it!

How are my price tiers looking guys?

Very reasonable and only $7 to get your first deck makes it a bigger winner. Too bad we can't see the international shipping though.

Made some minor changes. I removed some extra rewards and added the uncut sheet into the add-on section. I'll be doing some minor copy edits as well.

Here's a bigger image of the uncut sheet:

I'll post some versions of the last gaff card a little later!

Aren't you about an hour early? I refreshed the project preview and thought it was still in draft mode. Wouldn't have noticed that it was live if you hadn't mentioned it. Glad I still got to catch an EB.

@Yashi: we switched clocks this weekend. His time is right. We went ahead an hour.

Well now I know I can't rely on timeanddate.com anymore. Well thank god for homework or I would have been asleep by now.

Hey guys,

After the campaign ended (unsuccessfully) I posted on Facebook in The Card Club asking for opinions from members of why they though it didn't succeed. I got a bunch of replies and suggestions. One regarding the royalty having a little more brawn. Since the Jack of Spades was really the only one lacking something, I've decided to fully embrace his laziness!

Here's an updated version of the JoS:


Let me know what you guys think, I've also brought back the subscribe site. So if you you want to know when I relaunch the campaign, please subscribe and I'll let you know!

More updates to come!

Best,
Vadim

I took some time and updated the subscribe site! Check it out and if you haven't yet, subscribe and I'll notify you when I relaunch the campaign!

Thanks,

Is it just me but I always think of red plaid when I think of lumberjacks, would be nice to see them wearing plaid on the decks...

I have to agree about the color. Blue really isn't what I picture when I think lumberjack. Solid red would work but I think red and black plaid would work best.

I think they're technically meant to be denim. But yeah plaid is the staple shirt a lot of us picture on lumberjacks.

It's the Jack of Spades though, red doesn't really work on spades...

Could always do a Green instead of Black?

If you really wanted to add more to the deck you could include wooden textures as a background, make the spades and clubs pips look more like trees, incorporate saws into the designs, use plaid, smoking pipes etc

There is so much more you could do with a deck with this theme than just bearded men holding axes...

Woohoo!

I've got a date, a re-launch date that is! I will be re-launching the Lumberjacks 2nd edition on May 27th, so mark you calendars!

I shot a series of 12s clips to promote the date, here's one of them:

More to come!

I maybe able to add a pipe to a card or two and a texture on the pip cards. I try to work something up. Thanks for the comments / suggestions.

Oh yeeaaaah!

7 more days until the relaunch! Here's another quick video:

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING POST!

My goal with the 2nd edition Lumberjack deck is not only to bring you a cool looking deck, but to ship it to you guys for the best possible price. I will be using BackerKit for shipping.

From what I see, international backers are pretty much screwed with shipping. So I've worked really hard to get the best possible international shipping pricing.

Because I've included domestic shipping, I think it's only fair to carry that amount ($5) over to international backers.

Which means:

Canadian Backers:
1 deck = $2 additional for shipping
2 decks = $2 additional for shipping (the better choice)
3 decks = $3 additional for shipping
6 decks = $9 additional for shipping
12 decks = $15 additional for shipping

UK Backers:
1 deck = $6 additional for shipping
2 decks = $8 additional for shipping
3 decks = $8 additional for shipping (the better choice)
6 decks = $15 additional for shipping
12 decks = $23 additional for shipping

Most of my backers come from these areas. The rest of the world isn't too far off from the UK pricing.

Campaign goes live May 27th!

So relatively good news! I'm (hopefully) going to be relaunching the campaign tomorrow at Noon. I say hopefully because due to the project failing the first time, I was not aware that KS has to approve it if you decide to relaunch. So the project is submitted and hopefully it will be good to go for tomorrow. If it's not, then it will have to launch the following day.

I'll keep you guys in the loop. Furthermore, Gamblers Warehouse will be handling the fulfillment. I want to get this deck in your hands quickly and I've heard they do an excellent job.
