Re: I need you to give it to me straight! PS
I put a post on there!! I was just following up with a suggestion from Shermjack Princess Trouble!!
(funny - never thought I'd say SHERMJACK and PRINCESS TROUBLE in the same sentence... or I guess ever)

Re: I need you to give it to me straight! PS
Agree with Princess Trouble that this thread should be moved to Drafting Board...can a mod merge the topics?
Gina, as for the color combination, why don't you try red and white and maybe red and black?

Re: SIDESHOW - I'm starting to have a lot of fun with this.
Gina, I really like what you have done with these so I'll be a backer for sure. My sister-in-law is really into carnival/circus sideshow themes so I will have to get her a deck as well. Last Halloween she decorated her house as a dark carnival. (I went as a magician and that's wear I got into the whole collecting/cardistry/magic thing- but that's another story.) Great job so far and best of luck with the campaign.
PS: I don't do Instagram or Facebook so I won't be following you. The contest sounds cool. "Super Fan Package" - yum.

Re: SIDESHOW - I'm starting to have a lot of fun with this.
Don't forget you get a free deck for helping me out with that other forum thread!!!! We're doing the dark carnival theme at our house this halloween!! Too funny!! We did the whole asylum / evil hospital theme last year!!! Halloween is the best!! I really appreciate the kind words about the design and passing the word about the campaign. Yeah - the "super fan package" is gonna be cool!! More details in a few weeks!!! Expert Playing Card Company is printing for me, and I asked the Gambler's Warehouse to handle all the card shipping and handling!! Have you worked with them before????

dammmmit - can't let me keep the last word.
heh heh - I like your moves. I just posted again in the drafting board section. I'm creating a cut card. So this will officially be the last message for this thread. For reals this time.

You know what (in my mind) be pretty cool? If the paper stock on the tuck resembled the paper the admission tickets are made of. You know with a kind of rough, cardboard feel to it? Instead of the cheap glossy default tuck most printers go with.

Are you trying to get me kicked out of this forum? heh heh
I like the suggestion about the tuck box - here's a quick pic to show you my motivation. I have an idea for the custom seal I'd like to do - will post it in the DRAFTING section so I don't get in trouble. This is me, leaving to the drafting section now. heh heh

Re: SIDESHOW - I'm starting to have a lot of fun with this.
I think you should keep everything related to the deck in the same thread. It'll be hard to keep track of things. :lol
Have you focused on a printer yet? They can provide you with stock samples.

Re: SIDESHOW - I'm starting to have a lot of fun with this.
i wanted to stay in this thread but I thought I had to move to drafting??? no?
I chose EPCC.. they were super nice.. tell you the truth, the girl at USPCC was super nice too but I thought I'd go for a small run for my first kickstarter campaign! I chose Gambler's Warehouse to handle the shipping/handling of the decks. They were nice too!
I'm waiting on a sample deck from MPC. It cost me like $40 but I cannot STAND not seeing what my deck will look like in real life. Which company have you had the best experiences with?

Re: SIDESHOW - I'm starting to have a lot of fun with this.
Best of luck, Gina! I'm in for a couple of decks and will send you a PM shortly. Next time however, give us a day or two warning. Some of us set our alarm clocks for release time so we can get in early. Even without advance notice I'll bet Pierre was first, since he uses magic pixie dust instead of an alarm clock.

I like it!
Look like you had a pretty solid start to the project, it stands a good chance of funding. I know Emmanuel Jose mentioned his decks to circus groups for Sawdust and got mention in bird magazines for Clipped Wings, perhaps you can do the same?

Re: SIDESHOW - I'm starting to have a lot of fun with this.
NATE!!!! I have the poker chip plaques and some chips here in house! (I purchased samples so i could see their awesomeness before I started the campaign!)
I'll get the chips and plaque out in tomorrow's mail to ya!! When the cut cards arrive, I'll get one of those out to you (for your help with that other post) and then fingers crossed the campaign funds so I can send you the decks!!
How do you know if you're on track for kickstarter?? I've read a lot of websites and can't find the answer!!! Am I supposed to be at a certain funding percentage by the end of day 3???
Mannnn I sure get a ton of emails from companies trying to sell me kickstarter marketing!!! Do you like any of these 3rd party groups???

Re: SIDESHOW - I'm starting to have a lot of fun with this.
Eventually you can look at Kicktraq, but this early it's pretty far off and really isn't perfect anyhow - http://www.kicktraq.com/projects/str8ga ... projectionGina wrote:How do you know if you're on track for kickstarter??

You can look up other decks to see how they trended. Typically there is a big rush at the beginning for the first 3-5 days, then the last 48 hours after reminders go out. Anything outside of that is usually marketing efforts or happenstance (being plugged by a 3rd party or being highlighted by KickStarter). I would say this stands a good chance, but time will tell.
Every project is different, but here's a few first time producer decks around your goal

Re: SIDESHOW - I'm starting to have a lot of fun with this.
have you had any experience with BackerKit? flashcards suggested it - looks cool and they seem really nice there.
Will it help me get some street cred??

Re: SIDESHOW - I'm starting to have a lot of fun with this.
I think backerkit is a great resource. It allows pledgers to split their payments. The only downside to assuring use of backerkit is that you have to get funded first. If someone knows you're using it, they may not pledge for everything they want during the campaign, yet wait to add on more items in backerkit. If you use backerkit, I'd suggest waiting till you've gotten funded and then making the announcement.

Re: SIDESHOW - I'm starting to have a lot of fun with this.
Hi Guys!! I had a deck printed by the Make Playing Cards Company to see if I liked how my artwork looked in real life. Here's a few different angles of the box so you can see!
The final product will be printed by the EPCC if I get funded. (fingers crossed!)
