Haha yes indeed, or you could open up a couple more slots so we won't have to go to war, or at least there won't be too many casualties !

I am _SO_ ready for this deck! Time to finally reset what's really going to be the top of the stack, and Lee is one person that will never settle for second best. I suppose if you've sold as many decks as Lee has (whether they were Ellusionists' or his own), it's not a small thing to say that this deck will set - yet another - new standard. Personally I know that no matter what you pledge on this project, it's not going to be enough: take a look at where those Empire decks are on eBay right now: _IF_ you can find one! Last I saw one I think it went for $70, and I know I've seen more...

Bloodlines by Lee McKenzie

Unread post by Jeremy Hanrahan »

Empire 'Bloodlines' edition is the newest deck in the epic, Empire series by Lee McKenzie. Live on Kickstarter, Tuesday July 15th, 3pm PDT.
Hailing from the same bold and powerful story telling design of the originals, 'Bloodlines' stand their ground with a style all of their own while keeping the Empire spirit alive, rushing wildly in it's veins.

Every deck has a story. Empires have a legend. Are you ready ?

According to my notes, it's 6PM EDT, which means he's flipping the switch at 6AM *tomorrow* (in Perth Australia) to do so. I've asked for a clarification, because I'm certain that this campaign is going to be an epic one! I hope that Lee's Empire "Bloodlines" is the huge success that it should be.

It's already shaping up to be an absolutely fantastic deck with basically unlimited potential, as have all of Lee's previous decks, even going back to the "Kenzii" (AKA while working for Ellusionists) back over 5 years ago, now.

If anyone hasn't made the connection, Lee designed a few little decks (?) named Artifice, Inifinity, Arcane - amongst others.

OK, it's official: 6PM NYC time, 3PM Pacific, midnight in Stockholm, 6AM (tomorrow) in Perth - not 7AM as some might think from previous messages...

Enjoy! I happen to know that there is not one this time, but just poking fun sometimes lightens the load...

I like the blue better than the green. I hope the non Amazon set up doesn't scare people away again.
