Hello! Thanks for your advice about the tuck box, I'll think about some changes of the design. Here is the update of the court cards facing left.

It looks like you are using the long s (ſ) in the names of your characters. In the most common usage, the long s wouldn't appear at the end of words or as the second letter of a double s. The common round s would be used in those positions ... So these names would typically appear as Domitius, Feſtus, and Caſsian. Hope this helps ...

Good catch and suggestion.

Another route to try would be to eliminate the names, and perhaps subtle golden pips along the ribbon. A few golden spades would look cool.

What happened? I got a notice this deck launched in my email only to see it cancelled. I hope it wasn't all the Neil Gaiman mentions.

Courts are stunning but number card and Ace pips have too much gold on them hiding the suit in my opinion.

Move on, nothing to see here.

Hello to everyone! I'm sorry, but the project was launched accidentally and that's why I had to cancel it. But it will be launched again on 16 August and I hope to get your support.
You can now see the pledges and the whole project - it won't change.
I would be grateful for your comments on the deck design.

Can you tone down or even remove the gold on the Aces and number card pips? You can't easily tell what they are. Spades look like Clubs to me.

Courts look great!

This is also my suggestion. Keep the courts, kill the extra gold on the Aces and number cards. It's really too much. The court cards are beyond fantastic.

Thank you for the comments. I removed gold on the Aces (except the ace of spades - for comparison). Do you like the result?

Also here are 3 variants for numbered cards - as for me, those without gold look boring. That's why I put the gold on the back side.

My suggestions would be:

On the Ace of Spades, just leave the gold for the middle and REMOVE the black spade underneath. Gold shape only!

Keep the Ace of Hearts, Clubs and Diamonds how you have them now (WITHOUT the gold in the middle).

The LAST 9 of spades works best. The first two (the one on the left and in the middle don't work at all). Honestly, they are bad. The last one works fine!

EDIT: Tuck looks great. Back design looks great! Fix/change the number cards and Aces and I think you have a winner. Again, the court cards are FANTASTIC.

+1 for me. I didn't even see the gold Spade on Ace as a Spade so removing black ties it nicely to deck name. Agree with all other green check marks.

I like everything artwork related to this deck. Everything.

I don't have any decks printed by NPCC, so these will be my first. In for 3 decks when it's launched. If a white deck comes out, in for either 4 or 6.

One thing NPCC does not get enough credit for is that they do killer tuck boxes. I own a large bunch from them, all tuck boxes I have from them are either very nice or spectacular (With the exception of Ebon, it wasn't bad but not as good as I had hoped). That's why I really, really hope that this project hits that 5500 USD mark for foil and embossing on the tuck.

The fact that this is being printed by npcc is the only reason I probably wont back. Every time an amazing deck printed by npcc comes along and I do back I regret it as soon as the cards are in my hands. As fantastic as the art for this deck is, I just cant do that to myself again.

The artwork and tuck are gorgeous. They are certainly reasonably priced which is getting harder and harder to find these days. However I am also hesitant over the NPCC printing for reasons I have mentioned many times. I still haven't gotten over my disappointment regarding Legal Tender; beautiful art work on crappy stock which does not interest me. I realize you are using a different printer but the reviews I have seen have been similar. I'll be on the fence on this one and hope that something will change my mind.

So, somehow my brain clouded over the notion that these are actual characters from someone else's world. Any concerns about copyright infringement here? (I don't recall if you can copyright characters' names, but I think with names and likenesses, you're very likely treading all over Mr. Gaiman's intellectual property....)

Wish I'd brought this up sooner, in case it needs to be addressed.

Neil Gaiman and his books inspired me to create this deck, but I didn't use any names of his characters. All the characters and their names in my deck are fictional.
