New Deck Live on KS

That looks actually pretty nice, the back design is the best part although the rest of it is quite good as well.

Printing by MPC? And the goal is 4500 pounds? Couldn't you almost print with Legends or Expert with that much money? Or NPCC, at least, you being from Britain and NPCC being somewhere from Europe, wouldn't that be a more logicial choise than MPC? Although NPCC isn't as good quality as LPCC/EPCC, the quality is still a step up from MPC, the price isn't that much more and you have the ability to get a nicer tuck to the decks (They have already done a few very nice ones)

Also the shipping to Finland is only 2 pounds. I will have to think, I might be on board for one of these.

Hiya Nic
I like the way the jacks are reversible, although it still looks weird having a single figure court card next to double figure cards
The writing on the bottom scroll of the tuck box looks all cock-eyed (not really flowing with the scroll). Hopefully this is because it`s only a rendering and the writing on the proper tuck will look better.
I gotta admit the back design is stunning love it
All in all the Pagan in me likes the deck enough to throw a few quid at it.

Thanks for the encouraging comments guys. I'm glad to hear you like the backs of the cards as I must admit I changed it at the last minute, quite literally 45mins before the launch, it was originally going to be a face but I thought something more "flowery" would fit better, I think the backs turned out pretty good, if I do say so myself!

I am trying to keep shipping as low as possible, I have a business account with RM (Royal Mail) that I use for my day job so it should be very EU and USA friendly when it comes to shipping.

As for MPC, I still might print with a higher company if the goal is exceeded.

Oh and Jock don't worry about the scroll, I will be posting a high res image of the front of the tuck in an update soon and all will be on point.

Oh and I almost forgot, I will be posting some regular updates on KS as to some background info on the court characters I used with some historical facts n such, so do check in every so often

The deck is beautiful and I will also add that the back design is incredible. Really ties in nicely to the deck, too.

Nice..i missed the Vivido campaign so i`ll grab a deck now:D

Backed for 1 Jack in the Green and 1 Vivido! Woo, let's get this funded!

Progress is a bit slow but its getting there, just punched past the half way goal now with half the project time left.

It might be a close one but I'm quite confident it will make it.

...now, time to get some of these boxes done.

And this one has been cancelled. Not sure what he means about spam backers though?

If you have a look at Kicktraq, it seems that it went up two thousand pounds and then down three thousand pounds a couple of days later. Very strange.

Jack is coming back ....

Jack IS back.

cherrynukacola, Yes unfortunately I was spammed by another KS member who targeted me as I would not feature their project in one of my updates, it resulted in KS banning the member but the damage was already done by that stage and I was forced to close early. In the down time I have reviewed my very high funding goal, spent the time engraving the wooden boxes for the pledge rewards and recovering from a spinal injury (but that's an entirely different story...).

Hopefully this time no spamming, no threats from KS members and no car accidents

You should have a happy green leaf on box front, sad on back, due to the seasons.

Good luck, not my cup of tea sorry.

RichK, This was mentioned before but why associate the autumn and winter with sadness? ...Halloween, Yule, Christmas, New Year etc all times to celebrate

Sorry, missed that part before. I think of it as the leaves falling off the trees ending their life cycle for the trees. And I hate the oncoming cold weather associated with Autumn and Winter.

Generally more sun = more happy.

Don't look at me though, I love winter.

Backed for one + one Vivido deck!

I'm very happy to see this project has exceeded the funding goal.

Can't wait to get these printed and sent out!

I got this some time ago and forgot to comment it on here.

I am quite happy with this deck, it looks very very nice. I do recommend for people to grabs one up if you ever see any on ebay etc.

Also the borders on this deck are about as thin as the book "How I take care of my hair" by Patrick Stewart.
