If you can take a look at my campaign and share with friends, I'd really appreciate it!!! I'm doing contest giveaways during the campaign too! woooooooo!! - Gina

I'm in, but you should give us a heads up when you go live next time!

Since this is my first go at kickstarter, I thought it would take a few days to approve!! I hit "submit" and 2 seconds later it was live!! I was like, "whhhaaatttt?? OK - lets do this!!" - Sorry!!! Next time I know Shermjack!!!!

No worries, just want you to get a good start with the project and the more people who know about the start date and time ahead of time increases your chances. Best of Luck!

Shermjack - make sure to PM me with your mailing address so I can send you the thank you poker chip plaque for help with the other forum thread!!

Wooo! I'm in! Best of luck with the campaign!

Don't forget to message me with your mailing address so I can send you the "thank you" poker plaque Eoghann!!!
They turned out sweeeeeeeeeet.

Hey guys, I suggested to Gina that she offer to sign items for a flat dollar or two fee. Is this a good idea or is it a huge no-no that will destroy her career and reputation and leave her destitute and dying in some dingy back alley in the slums of old Calcutta? What do you think?

I guess it'll do no harm, but for a first project it's hard to see the potential of this offer.
But an slum alley in Calcutta seems a good place for a Sideshow, so who knows!

You guys make me laugh

You told the gents to step up but not the ladies first?

heh heh - sorry - Everyone in my family is military - the term "gents" is used when you're addressing a group of people... Ladies and Gentlemen would've been more appropriate in this circumstance!!
When you're right, you're right Bikefanatic

I got a question
Am I supposed to change my project pic throughout my campaign?? I want to keep it fun and entertaining but I don't want to get annoying or anything - heh heh
If you've backed campaigns in the past, do you LIKE it when creators do daily updates and pics or should they be limited to every few days??

I would say change it as often as you like. Some backers who waffle and consider backed a project will go by picture when they're quick browsing through the games section of KS. Keeping your brand name visible would probably be a good idea to get the eye of the weekend browsers. Do whatever you can to catch the eye of the general kickstarter backer, they bring in the big bucks across the whole site. Everyone one of us who has backed your deck wants you to succeed. So it absolutely doesn't annoy me at all.

I received the goodies, thanks so much! They're very nice. And the ticket came out cool!

And to answer your question, I think it's always a good idea to change the thumbnail to show reached stretch goals, etc.

Yay!!! Happy to be one of the "200 Backers" for the "Backer Collector Chip, Series 1"!!! :):)

Come share in the fun with @str8games! - #Str8GamesContest

Tammy Jo - I don't usually use the term "rad" but I can't think of another word to describe you. Thanks for passing the word about the campaign!!!!! I really appreciate it!! - Gina

This one needs a little help, about $2.5 of help that is. Based on other decks results in the final days it's possible, but I wanted to give this a shout out and reminder. The artwork and theme, plus EPCC printed and input from those on the forum and changes to adjust early, should mean this should be doing better than it is. Which I guess is proof it's a flooded market, but I still think this can fund. So, bump!

I also should mention I received my rewards for past input on this deck and after looking at some of the other circus/sideshow themed decks makes me realize I could start doing more theme based deck displays. I currently have wall display for vintage, another for macabre, soon to be another for transformation and then some misc ones. Perhaps some more specialization is needed. Anyhow, thanks for the goodies and appreciation!

awwwww- you're cool EcNate!!!
I'm working on one final "bump" myself to try to get this funded!!! I'm bringing in the big guns - Ol' Lobster Boy!
wheewwwww - wish me luck! heh heh

We really need to help get this funded! Gina Did A Great Job!

Received mine today, up on P52 as well. The tuck back is quite a disappointment, but since it's just the tuck back I can roll with it. Cards and card back as promised are fine. A fun deck to add to the collection, plus goes along with all the bonus items already received. An EXCELLENTLY run campaign and very interactive and generous as well!
