[Thirdway Industries]

Thank you Paul

Teaser website is here >> http://www.thirdway.it/apoteosi/

and prelaunch page here >> https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/th ... ying-cards

This will be launched in late August/September, when at least Italia Divina or Apocalisse delivery will start (hopefully both...)

[vasta41]

Looks like a great pre/sequel so far! Please let us know printer, bells & whistles, stretch goals, etc. when you're ready.

[Thirdway Industries]

Sure! Almost is all decided - Printer will be the same of Apocalisse, Cartamundi Cards + Gamblers Warehouse tuckboxes.

I will keep the same features of Apocalisse, so foiled back, embossing, inner foil on boxes, premium papers.
I want to make the back holographic, as said in the other thread the only issue is that the price of the cards is doubled (yeah) compared to gold/silver foil.

Since I don't want make the sequel campaign more expensive, I am evaluating to put the Holographic Foil as stretch goal (if not reached, Silver Foil).

I think this deck needs holofoil. So yes, please look into that as a stretch goal. Obviously keeping costs down would be ideal but, I can't believe I'm saying this, in this case I think it might be worth it. I understand that you want to keep the costs similar (thank you for that, BTW!) but what better time to go all out than a sequel?

[KingfisherZero]

That king of diamonds in particular is outstanding! As always...excited for yet another TWI campaign.

I totally agree. Bring us holofoil at launch.

Holo foil back and holo gilding

[BaconWise]

Don't forget the gem at the bottom of the teaser page. Scroll waaaaaaay down

[james001a]

Go with the holofoil backs and gilding. If you have to, make it a stretch goal. You will hit that goal undoubtedly anyways so why not just offer it upfront in the campaign. A deck like this has to have those features! I don't buy Meroni decks because I am looking for a bargain. I looking for world-class playing cards, and that is what you always deliver. I look forward to pledging my support.

[Thirdway Industries]

Thank you guys! I am happy that holofoil is appreciated. Will do my best to include it from the start.

@James - Thank you very much, I really appreciate it!

@BaconWise - did you found ALL the secrets?

@Vasta - Haha thank you, I am very surprised Anyways, my goal is keep the price as low as possible on Kickstarter.
I will raise it a lot for sure after the campaign, but I want -more than ever- give the best deal to backers.

[brownsl]

I found another secret, not sure if there are others. I am so proud of myself, there is a twinkle in my eye!

[brownsl]

I found another one but a password is required. I tried my Thirdway acct password and it did not work. Hmmm ....

[Timmargh]

I found another one but a password is required. I tried my Thirdway acct password and it did not work. Hmmm ....

Think about the thing that took you there ...

[BaconWise]

Stuck on the password as well.....I love Gio's teasers

[portcullis]

I've been more ... discerning with what I back on Kickstarter this year. I've been leaning more to the Patreon/subscription model this year for budget reasons. I've short-listed a few designers and that's it UNLESS somebody out of left field comes up with something spectacular. Gio's on the list and I'll be signing on for this one again.

[Thirdway Industries]

About the "password", here are a couple of hints for my UC friends:

1) it's a single word, included into the Apoteosi microsite
2) it's the thing you need to continue

Someone else already claimed the prize behind the wall, so at the moment you can see what's behind just for fun.
I may set up another password and another prize when I release the microsite to my newsletter.

If you don't know what I am talking about... look at the stars

[portcullis]

Password? Where?

[rousselle]

Gio... When I look at your decks, I smile. When I look at your projects for upcoming decks, I smile. You bring me smiles, Gio. YOU BRING ME SMILES.

Mmmm. Holofoil and Holo gilding....

[Thirdway Industries]

@Allan - Thank you, you made me smile as well!
Main purpose of my decks are tell stories and make people's life a little more colorful, so ...

@Portcullis - Look at the stars ))

[EvilDuncan]

I managed to get the second password and the prize was unclaimed. However, I didn't need it, and I left so someone else could grab it.

[brownsl]

I finally figured out the password. Messa not so bright. The item was Sold Out so someone must have claimed the second one.

[Ice_Panda]

I figured out the password So fun! Love these hunts

[Ninthaquila]

Found the special, and was able to crack the password. It was already claimed by someone, gratz to whoever got it.

As for those who found it, read the description, you can use that for a discount (I think it gives 10%). Not sure if it's one use or multiple, but thought I would give the hint here.

Definitely hyped for this one, probably going to get it so I have both Apocalisse and Apoteosi.

[portcullis]

Brute forced it. How long's the discount valid for Gio? (Might just snag a second Pantheon 2 as a birthday present for myself with my next pay cheque, in 2 weeks)

[Thirdway Industries]

Since I've released Apoteosi teaser "officially" to my newsletter subscribers, the password it's changed again.
There is a new bundle available (just 1 as before). This time I've put something very strong to protect the door

@portcullis - IF there is a discount somewhere, it will be valid until the release of Apoteosi - however, Pantheon II preorder will be over soon. Maybe I'll keep it a little longer since you asked ^_^

[KingfisherZero]

I thought FOR SURE I knew where the password would be coming from. But no...I'm stumped!

[Ninthaquila]

I thought FOR SURE I knew where the password would be coming from. But no...I'm stumped!

Yep, same for me. I've put in about anything I can think about, and nothing has worked so far.
@Thirdway Industries any chance of a hint?

[marman]

Just found the third password )

[Thirdway Industries]

Just found the third password )

Congrats, this one wasn't easy in my opinion

The hint is "something very strong guarding the door"
