Heraldique Playing Cards V2

Unread post by sabretooth1100 »

I have overhauled a few things about my Heraldique deck. Looking forward to getting a kickstarter going soon; let me know if anyone has any tips!

There is lots to like about them but to fund a decent target amount, you have to be really strong nowadays.

A deck named Heraldique would need really strong courts IMO. I don't think these courts are interesting enough and show little variation - the same scrolls and helmets on all of them becomes boring and seems lazy. Maybe keep the clubs or spades as is but make different designs for the other 3 suits. ps The QoH looks like she has a diamond on her shield!
I am assuming that none of the cards will have their indices cut off as shown here - these just being roughs

My favourite things are the backs including that nice looking blue color, the AoS and tuck. I suggest going that step further and making all the aces special

Apologies for being so opinionated but this is what it would take for me to pledge

EDIT lol I went back and found I wrote pretty much the same in the original thread

The card back is excellent and easily the strongest piece of this project. I very much enjoy your pips and how you treat the number cards as well. This deck falls flat for me with the courts as they are essentially repeating. I don't mind the tuck, but that design needs to fill the space and go around the tuck cutout. I would also need to see the other side to get a full idea of what the tuck will offer.

Overall, this is definitely an interesting deck and I appreciate the small details used. With some refinements, I would definitely be in.
