Updating for newly re-listed Kickstarter project














=========================================

Seen on another forum and on his Instagram page. I'll invite him here as well.

Here's the photos from Instagram. He said he expects it to launch later this week on Kickstarter and is experimenting with background/ghost images on the number cards.

Love the jokers!

Excellent! Can't wait for these. Two of my favs: beer and cards

Those cards look great. To me, these new card projects are starting to look the same.

I like it, but I'd like it more if it didn't have the text banners on the courts.

Hey guys, thanks for the feedback - didn't realize this thread was going on until I got a tip from a member. This deck will be launching this weekend.

Do you have a time and date? And more importantly, any juicy EBs?

That Joker is a perfect description of how you feel at the end of the week when Friday night arrives. (Not including the horns. I think.)

Oh come on, you swedes don't look THAT bad

Glad to see you here DJ. I second the question about day/time for going live.

I am getting a bit overwhelmed with the number of choices out there now, but this one still interests me. I like the theme and the art, I also really like the vintage look. For me it will come down to price and details, hopefully you'll have that all worked out at the beginning of the KS launch to make the biggest impact and start strong.

Good luck!

I'll be getting it approved by KS on Friday so I'll launch is as soon as it gets approved. I'll be keeping it pretty simple - it won't have 5-10 add-ons and all that but it will have a few solid add-ons and will have stretch goals for more different decks.

No, but you have to keep in mind that I'm half Danish.

Loving this art and can't wait to see the back design!

Pledge clicking finger at the ready

Awesome job.

Hey guys - just posted this to Instagram. Just a heads up.

I love the front of the tuck! I'll be there at 1:30.

So that's 1:30pm EDT, right? Seriously US East coast people, what's up with you?

I'll be out at lunch (12:30 here), but hopefully can get in on this one.

Haha sorry yeah that's US East Coast Time.

I seriously doubt Ecnate that you could not get in on this project today, tomorrow or next week hehehe It won't sell out

Hey thanks for doubting my deck.. Ha but I agree - won't be an issue.

hehe no doubt here just pure logic.. He might of meant getting in on an early bird most likely but ultimately everyone that wants a deck will get one

Live!

Are you going to assign the numbers by who pledge first? or will it be random?

Unsigned decks I'll do my best to send them out in order starting at #302. Signed decks have what numbers will be released in their reward info on the KS page. If you order a signed deck you can also request a number if you have a favorite and I'll make sure to get it to you assuming it hasn't been requested.

Ok perfect sent you another note on KS Thanks

Ha ha, yeah. Apparently I never finished typing out my thought. I meant that I wanted to be sure I could get any EBs, especially if very limited. I just was able to check now and thankfully it was 50 EBs instead of just 5. Thanks for that BTW.

The coasters look interesting, are they just the paper board style or is it a double sidded rubber mat type?

Also, quite disappointed there isn't a discount for an add on deck. I'm used to that being less than a single since shipping is mostly already covered, but at the same time at least I know you shouldn't have surprise shipping cost concerns. Still, a $1 discount should have been available for each add on deck.

I get an Americana deck vibe from these and I fully mean that as a compliment. I'm excetied to get these! Finally something to look forward to in February.. I like the coaster add-on too- nice touch! Good luck, Daniel.

Now that I have more time I went back and looked at the details. Surprised to notice it has a goal of $25k for a single deck. That's a very tall order for a single deck by a new artist in this medium. To be fair, there are a number of pricey quality details added that would bring down margins and thus would require a higher price or greater numbers. While I'm glad you didn't move into insane pricing territory to offset this (thanks for that), that means it has to be done with volume and thus a higher goal. My only concern is if there will be enough people who jump in, especially considering the timing with the market and upcoming holiday season.

I sure hope it works out and totally understand there's a lot of work still to be done so perhaps that's what finishing is worth it to you, but other projects have a lower goal for multiple decks. Hoping you have a massive marketing plan and that this all works out. Not complaining, but observing. I'm in and want to see this one succeed. Good luck!

Again, more details on the coasters would be appreciated. The tokens have good details, at least in the summary image, but not much was said about the coasters.

Lastly, the red deck seems quite out of reach, especially this early, but any more details on that? Tuck swap or new courts/back?

High pledge goal, yes. But I like the fact that all the customizations (embossing, etc.) are included as opposed to being add-on goals. I really hope this makes it!

Well crap, this looks like it's not going to make it. This is a nice looking deck. I would wait it out. Every backer you get is a backer for your relaunch. To high a goal?, To many "Fluff" items? Maybe one deck with a tuck swap?

I really REALLY hope this funds..
