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.

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.

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?

Tapping out after a few days? I wouldn't assume a project won't make it with 28 days left... Long ways to go and a lot of work to be done in this project. I'll be positive the whole way through and I hope others will be too.

Thanks for sharing! Hope it can pick up soon - if anyone knows of some good ways to get this deck in front of more beer lovers, suggestions are welcome!

Black deck looks better. I'll get a red if the courts and number cards are different as well.

That deck is actually a dark blue. The red and blue decks will probably have a different watermark for the number cards, but the courts will remain the same. Thanks for the feedback.

Dark blue is cool, it's a very good stand out deck. I'll say that most people don't like the same deck of cards with a different tuck and back but the cards themselves still the same. It could be some difference between the two so a watermark or a lil' something extra will work.

Still doesn't look like it's going to make it, problem is too many decks at the same time. Pocono Modern and the Russian Folk deck are having the same problem. Even Grimoire isn't doing well though they still have over a month left.

Yeah I can definitely understand that. I'll be sure to change it up.

Yeah, I've been a little disappointed in the response so far. I've put a lot of work into this deck and I figured more people would be into a classic beer theme.

I think the theme is good, but instead of the general old time brew house, target the up and coming microbrew industry.

Not sure why you added on the Imperial half way through, but if you had come out with 2 decks from the start with a $25k goal that would have helped. Better yet, you should have simply did the single deck with a $12.5k goal and then added the 2nd as a stretch goal at $25k. I really think the high goal for a single deck and then quiet and confusing introduction of a 2nd is hurting you here. Not to mention the competition and time of year with holidays coming up.

While introducing another deck as an addon halfway into funding can be risky, I think that with the $25,000 main goal he should be covered?

From a risk perspective yeah that's fine. If there was a single deck with a lower goal that would have a better chance of funding. Having it as an announced from the start stretch goal also would be fine. Even having 2 decks with proper tiers from the start would have gotten more initial pledges. Adding it half way means you have to once again resell the idea and get all those original backers to take notice and make changes, artificially retrofitting pledge tiers to account for new deck, etc, but still have this larger goal to obtain to succeed.

I agree with everything you're saying - I'll be relaunching a cleaned up version if this project doesn't pick up. I made mistakes with the project format and unfortunately they're things that can't be tweaked easy after the fact. I might just wait until early next year, who knows.

I'm glad to hear it sounding like you won't give up. I love this deck and I'm sure others do. Maybe it's like what people said- bad timing or market saturation... Who knows. But this deck rocks and I hope it gets made. If not now then soon!
