Dust Playing Cards of Life - Live on IndieGoGoGoGoGo...

Unread post by ecNate »

It's rare a deck from IndieGoGo should deserve a mention and even rarer that one succeeds. This one doesn't pass the test for me, but if you like minimalist decks, don't care about printer (non mentioned) and willing to pay a slightly premium price...

The faces are actually pretty decent for a minimalist deck IMO, but that one-way back just kills it. But I stay away from IndieGoGo anyway, and $15 is way too much for a non-USPCC/EPCC deck.

I might have missed what's wrong with IndieGoGo. Is there a possibility to fund a project on kickstarter if you live in a country from which kickstarter doesn't accept creators?

I don't get the theme and the back. The Kings are all the same except for the slight change on hilt. He should have made them a bit more distinguishable from each other like he did with the Jacks and Queens.

I believe you can look for someone who has a bank account in the accepted countries.

I'm not sure if this is the case with all IGG projects, but projects can be set so the creator keeps the money even if the funding goal isn't passed.

Add-on processing is a lot more difficult for backers on IGG, as it requires more perks to be selected. It isn't possible to custom design a perk backer. Looking at KS, a lump sum can be added to a pledge, then the creator can be notified of what add ons the lump sum is for. On IGG, each add-on needs to be invoiced separately unless the creator sets up a perk stating various price points.

[EDIT] Just checked the project page - this one falls under that category. "This campaign will receive all funds raised even if it does not reach its goal".

That's why I call it IndieNoNo.
