Good afternoon, to all forum users. Finished the layout of the sheet. So it will look. As you can see, 3 cards will be from the new deck.

This is the first deck. From the big picture. Therefore, I decided to indicate this on an uncut sheet.

I often sought advice and received answers that were important to me. I consider it fair to tell you all in advance about the release date. So you can choose early birds, if desired. I will be launching a project on Kickstarter 02.13. at 12:00 pm New York. Link to the project: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/96 ... n=f5f384b3" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
The project is at the final stage. If I violate the rules of the forum in some way, please do not scold too much for providing an inactive project.

I took a look at the project page and the main advice I can give you is to ask to a native english speaker to review it. It is very confusing and some texts doesn't make sense at all, this may throw away some possible supporters.
I like the deck very much, but being it printed by NPCC makes it an easy pass.
Best of lucks though.

Thank. We are still working on the texts. As for the NPCC I use the resources that I have in the country. My first experience, I do not want to promise what I do not knowsms69x wrote:I took a look at the project page and the main advice I can give you is to ask to a native english speaker to review it.

I think this is a solid first campaign. The art is great and playing it safe by using a local supplier is probably the smart way to go, even if the handling won’t be great. The shipping is very reasonable when combined with the deck cost. I still think you should try contacting Cartamundi - I think it’d be an easy pledge from me if I knew the handling would be perfect. I use my cards after all, so handling is the top consideration for me usually.
You’ve obviously put a lot of effort into reworking it to get it just right based on community feedback too. For well over a year no less. That’s great!
I’m considering backing. Just got to sit on it for a few days

Looking at the four suits, the clubs look a bit out of place while the other three suits have a border. If the spades were the clubs enclosed in a thin outline, then why not take the hearts as also a bordered version of the red suits and strip the diamond of its outer linework? Just a thought on balance

Regarding Kartamundi, I honestly say that I am not yet ready to cooperate with foreign printing houses. Therefore, I chose Roman for the first time. NPCC Since the quality of his work is already known. on Kickstarter.
But there is room to grow, there will still be two decks!)))

Thanks to all the patrons. Today I received a pilot deck of cards. I was worried about how they would look alive. 270gsm promotional quality. But it was necessary to print to see what we face. Thanks a lot to all those who advised to make a "Кant", this really saved the deck. Making it playable !!

I decided to still contact Cartamundi to study their conditions for printing and sending. Perhaps the most important issue for me is sending, to the patrons of the cards.Jocu wrote:I think this is a solid first campaign.

Great! That makes sense. If you’re worried about fulfilment I recommend contacting Gamblers Warehouse in the US. You can get Cartamundi to ship directly to them and they’ll post to all your backers. Their costs are very reasonable and they have a good reputation. It will actually end up cheaper for you to shop to Europe from their than the Ukraine for many EU places strangely! And certainly less work for you.

Another question to forum users. What do you think about typography MPC or LPCC? In case I can not agree with Kartamundi. What choice to make then.
Re: Dance of death
Posted: Mon Feb 18, 2019 9:43 pm
I would go with LPCC first but if MPC is really more affordable, I would strongly recommend using MPC's new "Linen Air" finish which they recently developed with their Chao decks. It's really nice and smooth handling. I would argue that the finish puts MPC on par with LPCC and EPCC now. You can find out the details of that here:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ma ... -of-playin" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
However, please let your backers know as soon as possible . You may want to let the backers decide which printer to use in a survey so that it's clear that the majority of backers chose that printer and not you forcing the chance.

Thank you all for tolerating me !!! For me, this is the first experience. And I, like a real Ukrainian, must try all the options (from a joke) before choosing one, but the best one. Now in the updates I discuss about several printing houses. Your opinion is also very important to me !!! https://goo.gl/RxackE" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Good afternoon, today I received an affirmative answer from the printing house of Cartamundi. I was offered paper for printing my cards: FSC Casino Classic 300 Matt, what would you say about this paper? If it satisfies our requirements, then I enter into an agreement with them about printing my cards for you. https://goo.gl/RxackE" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
