[wip] Good Deck
Hi there guys!
As I have announced yesterday, I am working at a new deck, the Good Deck.
I really like the feedbacks here, so I hope you guys can help me to improve my work while I'm working on this.
I am going to launch Good Deck as soon as possible, after The Evil Deck (if I win the contest I don't have to crowdfund Evil, so I can focus more on Good). I am thinking about Cardlauncher for this one, probably printed by EPCC.
This deck will be the good twin brother of the Evil, so, when possible, the cards will be the "good" mirrored version of the Evil Deck (look at the Queens of Hearts, below).
By the way, the Seeds themes will be: Hearts - Love (in Evil was Passion) Clubs - Nature (same as Evil, but "good") Diamonds - Courage (in Evil was Violence) and Spades - Faith (In Evil was Magic)
The Tuckbox will be white with black graphics, the opposite of The Evil Deck I am donig some experiments on the cards backs (yes, of the Evil Deck too, I wasn't happy of the old one). I am almost sure to do the "A" version, but want to share anyways. What do you think? About the color scheme I am sure about switching the Violet of the Evil Deck with blue. But I am not sure about red. Do you prefer the magenta or the gold? Probably magenta have better contrast and a more funny looking, but gold is more elegant. Let me know! (I attached the "Pretty Queen" in the two color schemes) Here is the Queen of Spades (The High Priestess) to see the color scheme, compared with her evil twin sister (The Queen Witch) Of course everything is WIP and can change. Hope you like it and I also hope you can give me some hints too (oh, of course...let me know if you have suggestions about the illustrations you want find here, I may use it in the deck!)
Cheers and see you soon!
Giovanni

Re: [wip] Good Deck
I think I like the gold better. If the opposite color us blue for the spades and clubs, I think gold will make a better contrasting color than magenta.

Re: [wip] Good Deck
@Robert - Thank you man
@Mike, hope to finish it soon, I want to CardLaunch it!
@Sher : thank you for the feedback! Yes, the gold contrast pretty fine with blue, and it's more classy than magenta. On the other side, the magenta contrast a lot with white and yellow (I want keep yellow as common color in both Evil and Good Deck) and it's more "powerful".
I will also probably print a prototype with some gold cards and magenta cards, and soon i will post more courts. If anyone want contribute with feedbacks it's helpful!

Re: [wip] Good Deck
I think magenta works better as well. Giovanni, consider flipping the eyes on the "bat?" so that it looks like it is smiling rather than sleeping to give a more "good" feeling to it.

Re: [wip] Good Deck

Re: [wip] Good Deck
I really liked Evil deck and this one is great as well. I would love to get my hands on BOTH of them, will you be making both decks available on your crowdfunded effort? Seems only natural.EvilDeck wrote:I am going to launch Good Deck as soon as possible, after The Evil Deck (if I win the contest I don't have to crowdfund Evil, so I can focus more on Good).

Re: [wip] Good Deck
I think that you should avoid the swastika-like symbol on the back design. Although it is not a swastika, It reminds of something that is the exact opposite of good!

Re: [wip] Good Deck
@EcNate
Yes, Evil Deck&Good Deck will be available toghether. Because the campaign is about the Good Deck only, I think to limit purchase of Evil+Good Deck only in bulk (minimum order 2Good+2Evil). What do you think?
@Lotrek
You are right. It's not a swastica, but il look "Evil". I will tweak it

Seeing as how I am a single deck collector I don't much care for that.EvilDeck wrote:@EcNate

Seriously though, if you want to limit the Evil deck then perhaps only include it as a SINGLE purchase and not available as an add-on. Have a 1 of each pledge (1 good + 1 evil) and then if you want perhaps have it included with some of the larger pledges as well. Or keep it simple and just let the Evil deck be an add-on, but then that makes it a bit harder up front to track how many you are selling.
I don't see what would be wrong about the project being a pair of decks though, I mean they kind of go with/against each other. Having options for each individually would be nice though too for those that only want one of them so you don't lose their support.

Re: [wip] Good Deck
Hi ecNate, I just decided to change the limit: no Evil Decks purchased alone and always no more Evils than Goods. (so 1G+1E available)
Even for the uncut, for buy the Evil you need the Good.

Re: [wip] Good Deck
Probably many of you already know, but this is the official announce
Good Deck will be one of the decks launched with Cardlauncher tomorrow. Evil Deck will be also available as extra (just can't order more Evils than Goods).
The base price will be 8$ + shipping, and there are some early birds rewards.
There are prototypes and limited editions too. Here is a preview of the signature edition.
I also make a Facebook page only for Good Deck > https://www.facebook.com/gooddeck" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Hope you like it!
Thank you very much for all the support!
