For the price If you have a look at the 2 deck choice is almost 25 dollars wich is 12,5 each. Don't know yet if to lower the single deck price, of course lowering the price is always better... normally the decks in UK are for 15 dollars beacouse we have to hire a fullfillment company to send them out in america. So If we don't want to earn nothing or almost nothing from selling in US than the price must be higher... I don't have a friend there doing it for free and jackson fulfillment asks 3 dollar per order...

These are my expences:
4.00$ a deck to print with USPCC
3.00$ jackson fullfillment company
3.00$ shipping price in america
1.20 $ goes to kickstarter and bank transfer.
-20% taxes

If I would sell the single deck for 12 I'd put in my pocket 0.60 cents a deck... Isn't it too low?

If you find a better solution I'm here to listen to you...

This quotes thing is troubleing... I want them there couse I really like em... and the reason why I want them there so badly is that they explain the meaning (dunno if it's the right word) of the card... Death, ambition, Love, Knowledge... Whitout the phase it's only a good design. I wanted every card to look like it's original character end to have its meaning... for the aces I couldn't draw a character so the phrase brings the meaning in the design. As you said the ace of spades already has the snake and the skull (symbols of death) but for the others?

Does it make sense to you?

Of course we could change the phrase but it should be a famous phrase about one the 4 topics... I'm open to suggestions...

Hi everyone,

What do you think if I make a new thread in the new deck section?!?
The design is done and I would like to have some more feedback on the project.

Sure thing, do you want to move this thread to the new deck section ? I think it's better to start a new thread and consolidating the final images :)

The New & Custom Decks section is mainly for released decks or live kickstarter projects (isn't it?). Might as well just continue here, it's always interesting to see how the creative process went.

Well I think it's fine to have it over there once everything is done and all set to be launched in a week or two to drum up a little excitement for the deck. We can have a link back here to let others see the creative process.
