Re: Heartless by Thirdway Industries

Lorenzo has a nice approach. Open enrollment for one whole month, after which all tiers are locked except for his lowest tier. The lowest tier has access to posts but isn't provided any physical goods. I imagine closing enrollment is for the same reasons you have, Gio, where constantly changing the...

To be fair, a lot of my reaction is very much "old man yelling at clouds" stuff. I realise this sort of thing isn't meant for me and I'm likely (almost certainly) overreacting. JR can run his business and social media however he likes. I still like his decks. I just don't like the marketin...

I'm with Kevork on this one. I do LOVE a transformation or semi-transformation deck, but something about this one just isn't working for me. And of course my self-imposed KS ban doesn't help along with my desire to reduce my collection. Pretty much if it isn't a "hell yes" these days, it's...

I really did want this campaign (and also CARDS) to deliver but both are seeming increasingly remote with NativeTongue not having logged in here or on Kickstarter in over 2 months. Really hope they reconsider and decide to communicate to backers at least for closure purposes if nothing more.

Pretty impressive that there are 33 now in this series. However they do seem relatively low effort and I haven't gotten any since the series was still in single digets, so not really for me I suppose

People who don't understand playing card collecting community should leave it to the experts. Funny part is they actually GOT an expert, and then decided to completely ignore him. And they treat their customers the same way.

And why so expensive? $35 for a deck, on top of membership fees? I can get decks that are limited to 1000 for less than half that price at times. Nothing makes their decks, especially this one, worth that much money imo. No wonder they've only sold like 25% of them at this time. The membership has ...

Needing to launch the Kickstarter in order to reach a certain cash position doesn't sound particularly reassuring, unrea the sort of things they talk about in these videos.

That's certainly all what they like to say, and UPS is the worst for charging extra fees. The reality is I pay NONE of those fees when it comes to anything shipped by normal mail from the US, uncluding items with declared values of over $100 from places. They are using scare tactics to force compani...
