Re: Apothecary by Seasons Playing Cards
Regarding international shipping I'm not sure yet since I actually haven't gotten to the campaign listing yet believe it or not. If you were okay with the last campaign you should be fine. I can't imagine Gambler's Warehouse changing their fulfillment rates drastically.

I freaking love cards and I always strive to make the collection experience more than just a tick in your mailbox. For this specific campaign I added a level of engagement through a companion interaction that will grow along with the campaign and send out with updates. The site is called http://www.ApothecaryTales.com and although I'm not a writer, I hope you'll still enjoy the fun of it and the effort involved.

Close to $15 per deck including shipping? Woof. Good thing Alex's artwork is amazing!

Backed!
Is the Black label edition just the same deck, inside another sleeve? (i.e. is the tuck box the same?)

Re: Apothecary by Seasons Playing Cards
Yeah, the labeling style with engraving was something I knew I wanted for the theme but the factories don't have that capability. I went personal and you can see in the video that they are hand run. I'll be handwrapping and gluing each of these as well so I had to account for the labor. I think of it more as an upgrade of a single deck rather than trying to create two different decks.slipperymistake wrote:Backed!

Re: Apothecary by Seasons Playing Cards
The deck is beautiful, the kickstarter page is great... but this is one of those projects I shouldn't have gotten excited about
$8 int shipping for one deck is too much for me. Randy's Rome project which is also fullfilled by Gamblers has just $3 int shipping. I'm guessing this is because you chose the tracking option?
Another issue: pledging for the pair totals $39 (of which $13 are shipping), while pledging for one deck is $22 (of which $8 are shipping) and adding on a deck ($15 in price) totals $37. wouldn't it be more reasonable then to have $11 dollars shipping for the pair pledge tier, so it is at least equal to the addon price for international backers?
Best of luck!

Re: Apothecary by Seasons Playing Cards
Tomorrow at 2pm CST I'll be revealing the deck how I originally imagined it to be with the world's first color-changing boxes. I've been working to try to get these to production for a while and was originally supposed to be for launch but took until now to release. (Boxes are step 1. Cards are step 2.) They truly do embody the term "touch inspiration" for this specific theme. They will be used to box gilded decks in silver for Insights and rose gold for Ponderings and differentiated with a lighter white theme to compliment the darker black themes. Until then enjoy the shine!
There will be Early Bird boxes for them available tomorrow. Hope to see you guys there.

Wasn't planning on getting up at 3am... ...but then again, it wouldn't be the first time.

Re: Apothecary by Seasons Playing Cards
Haha thank you for your dedication Gareth! There will be 200 White Cabinets of Curiosity that are limited in special tiers made specifically to connect and stack with the wooden ones. I might make a video for this since I don't think people are catching that they stack. The gilded decks themselves though will be available as a Kickstarter only item through the campaign. The true magic is really in the responsive design of the boxes though. I'm making a new video for the KS to show this so hopefully it'll translate well.Gareth wrote: Will these be unlimited or at least likely to last a few hours?

If you're already a backer I'll be posting an update along with Chapter 4 tomorrow at launch time.

Re: Apothecary by Seasons Playing Cards
So, it sounds like there will be 200 White cabinets of curiosity (that would house one gilded deck of Ponderings and one gilded deck of Insights). That means 200 gilded of each deck for the white cabinets. How many more of each deck will be available gilded beyond that for those who chose/choose to go without the cabinets?
Thanks. I will be there either way tomorrow no matter what the number.

WOw. Unlike 1st EB, there's a very high cost associated with lack of promptness on this one!

Re: Apothecary by Seasons Playing Cards
Hi Guys,
Sorry there will be an update later today once I wrap up proper photos for the campaign. The "Early Bird" you're seeing was a mistake when Kickstarter glitched out submitting the tiers. It wasn't intentional. Lost some money on those. These White Label decks are supposed to be on for the full campaign with only the boxes being time sensitive so I wasn't too rushed for the update. I completely recreated the video last night so mistakes are expected to happen (to your benefit lol)
But I hope you guys are seriously excited for this. Hand gilded decks WELL under $100. World's first color changing boxes. All for a ridiculously cheap price. Enjoy

This truly is "Inspiration You Can Touch" and it just warms my little heart

Re: Apothecary by Seasons Playing Cards
So here's my issue: I think $44 for the color changing decks is a great price considering all it entails. HOWEVER if I pledge for these (which I think I might have to despite my mortgage) and see them on ToM someday cheaper than $44 I'll be livid. Hoping that doesn't happen.

Re: Apothecary by Seasons Playing Cards
I doubt that will happen, unless ToM pledge for a bunch of those in the KS campaign. Alex mentioned that these decks are KS exclusive, so I suppose he will only produce enough decks to cover the demand.vasta41 wrote:So here's my issue: I think $44 for the color changing decks is a great price considering all it entails.

Re: Apothecary by Seasons Playing Cards
I think you might be right about the number of decks. I thought that it was a "read the fine print" kind of thing but everything I read seems to insinuate that the decks produced for the campaign are ONLY for backers of the campaign. I hope that's true anyway. But in regards to ToM that's not usually how ToM works- creators (such as T11, GW, and Alex in the past to name a few) sell ToM surplus inventory at a price in the after market once they're already produced. I have no problem with this EXCEPT if a deck like the White Labels ends up there after it was said to be "exclusive." But again, I think you're right and I don't think that will happen.sms69x wrote:I doubt that will happen, unless ToM pledge for a bunch of those in the KS campaign.

Re: Apothecary by Seasons Playing Cards
I agree, Alex is a man of his words, I'm all the way in! He might keep a few for giveaways and stuff but that's to be expected.sms69x wrote:I doubt that will happen, unless ToM pledge for a bunch of those in the KS campaign.

These has got to be the most exciting decks for me this year!

Oh DUH! I'm quite familiar with Touch of Modern. Just recently bought the Dan and Dave Strangers Ultimate Deck off the site.
