Umbra Playing Cards by Jody Eklund (Luminosity Pt. 2)

[brownsl]

I agree being able to get several gilded decks would be nice. Seems like the tiers are not particularly ideal for me.

[Decknowledgy]

Wondering if there could be a limited **Early Bird** 1x UMBRA Quadruple Tier that includes both GILDED and non gilded Noirs? If there isn't it's fine, I'll try to snag a gilded Trio tier and add-on the Noir Luxury

Normally, I try to avoid gilded decks, but this series/saga has been TOO good so far.

Yes, why isn't there a tier with one of each deck? Instead, we have to play a mix-and-match game with add-ons just to get them all.

[Decknowledgy]

Wait, Jody, did you cancel the Gilded Trio tier? So does that mean that there won't be anyway to get the Gilded KS LTD Noir if I go for the Standard Trio tier?

I'm Still working on the Rewards. The way I see it, there are 4 basic offerings - Standard (Slate, Merlot), Luxury (Noir), Kickstarter Exclusive (Gilded Noir). Anyone can add the Standard and Luxury, but they can't add on the Kickstarter Exclusive (It's the only thing that I am limiting). BTW I have found that gilding takes a long time to do and the more I allow, the longer production takes. I didn't limit the gilding at all for Luminosity and produced quite a few, limited them some for Sovereign and took forever to get them produced. My goal is to limit them to around 500 to 750.

The reward tiers is just the entry level. You will get an initial discount in the reward tier you choose, but spend full price for the add-ons. Of course you get discounts per deck as you add on more even in add-ons. It all depends on what you want. If you want a 1x Gilded, 2x Gilded or 6, 12 you will need to be in one of the Kickstarter Exclusive Tiers to receive them and be able to add-on whatever combination of the standard and Luxury's you want.

Check back later on today. I will have everything up and let me know your thoughts.

Thanks for helping me with this

Ok updates have been made. Check em out and let me know what you think.

I think I have some really good options for U.S. and International Backers. FREE U.S. Shipping and 50% INT. Shipping for reward tiers over $200.

[Decknowledgy]

Thanks Jody, the updated version looks pretty reasonable!

[PiazzaDelivery]

Well, the 2x Luxury (non-gilded) tier is there, so I got what I wanted. Thanks Jody, definitely getting my business.

[Bradius]

I am not sure what I am going for. However, the gilded brick at $470 is way too rich for me. I am thinking a two or three gilded deck option is most likely.

[MagikFingerz]

I don't see a non-gilded Trio anymore. Do we then pledge for a Standard set and add on the Luxury?

I'm assuming EB's will be re-added. Asking again, will they be timed or limited by amount?

Yes, just added.

They will be timed for the first 24 hours as usual.

I have to be honest, I hate Launch day it always makes me nervous.

Let me know if you all need anything.

[KingfisherZero]

I think I'm reading correctly, but the most straightforward way to get one of each of the four (including gilded) is to go with the UMBRA set and add on one standard. Hoping someone will correct my math if I'm missing something! Otherwise...see you all in 44 minutes for launch!

Yes, one of the problems with making up rewards for Kickstarter is anticipating all of the different desires. I also try to keep the options simple and low, but as you can see the reward count is pretty high. I try to keep it around 12, but never achieve it

I always hated in the past when I did so many limited stuff and had to keep track of them. I think I have learned a few things

I'll take one last look and see if I can offer something that has all of the decks. What should I call it? hmmmm

[KingfisherZero]

"The Whole Enchilada"
"Are You Happy Now'?!"

In seriousness, this the tier I would think of as the "UMBRA Set" personally.

In any case, I'll get it figured out whatever you do! Can't wait!

DONE!!! LAUNCHED!!

There is bound to be mistakes, since I made a few last minute changes to the rewards.

[supernova]

Backed!
I was a bit thrown off cos it thought there was free US shipping. But realised it only applied to pledges over $200

[brownsl]

In for EB Umbra Collector. Looking forward to these!

[joeblow]

Thanks for adding the enchilada tier, in for that.

[Bradius]

The gilded brick is out of the question this time at nearly twice the cost as last time. I understand the reason for the price difference, so no hard feelings. I was tempted by the Umbra Collector, but just going for the 1x Umbra Collection EB. Anyway, I am definitely in.

Totally understand. Thanks for always supporting me my friend.

I'm in for 2, 1 of each of the standard decks. I like the $20 luxury one and might end up adding that on later.

[PiazzaDelivery]

In for 1 luxury ungilded with another as an add-on. Missed Luminosity, not going to make the same mistake twice.

Full Deck Scan (Slate & Merlot): https://cardscans.piwigo.com/index?/cat ... ate_merlot

Note: Im an idiot and didnt get the Noir deck also. When looking at these next to the Luminosity Standard, I actually think I like these better. Dont get me wrong, Luminosity is a fantastic deck, however there is a simplicity in the art in these decks that in comparison that really draw me in to a much greater extent. The foiling on the back isnt overly done, very subtle, that gives it an antiqued look.

I recently recieved the Norse Medals by Marianne Larsen, and as weird as it sounds: these are the decks I want to display next to those medals.

[Entaro]

You know when I jumped on this one I found it quite confusing to nail down the decks vs the tiers

Same. With all the deck variations now (limited edition, KS exclusive, gilded, special edition box sets, etc) it adds to confusion with more tiers and things get missed *cough* knighthood/Kingdom *cough*. I also tend to miss a fair amount because decks are added on as stretch goals (I don't think that was the case here, but tbh I don't remember), and I don't realize it until the campaign ends then it's like "you pledged for an early bird complete set, but heres 3 other decks to choose from also"

Still...all things considered, I'm quite happy with these

[brownsl]

Have not received my pledge. On his May 11 update he said everything had shipped and he would send out tracking numbers once he got them from GW. I never received a tracking number. Did anyone else get a tracking number?

I got the email with tracking info from Jody's backerkit on May 19 and received the package yesterday (May 21). How many did you pledge? Wondering if smaller pledges went out first? I had just pledged 1 Umbra NOIR Luxury Deck
.

[brownsl]

Maybe you are right, I got the Umbra Collector which is a brick. Hopefully hear something soon!

[traaaf]

Got mine in the mail today (2 decks)
