Is it just me or does the Kickstarter exclusive seem less attractive than the standard?

Might just be because I can't really tell what copper ink looks like :/

Yay, 49 hr EB! No need to stay up late for this. Thanks so much for doing this, Jody. The rest of us on the other side of the world appreciates this. That and our much needed sleep!

EDIT: whoops, zoomed by too fast and didn't see that booklets are a stretch goal at 36k .
However, seeing that this is your first totally new artstyle with amazing courts and story, you won't consider doing a booklet as a stretch goal? This story and art cries out for a booklet, or at the very least, a PDF format like you did for Iron
Horse! Let us add-on for a minimal sum.

I think color alone as a differentiator is subjective. I actually prefer the copper color over blue just from the pictures.

Well the eb’s will only be 12 hrs from the time of launch. I believe I did have a booklet as a stretch goal. More than likely I will be doing a downloadable pdf.

Jody, can you add a tier that has a Standard Deck, a KS Exclusive Deck and a KS Exclusive Gilded Deck? Also, will you be able to differentiate between the KS Exclusive and the KS Exclusive Gilded as the tucks look the same. Either way, am looking forward to the launch. :D

Yes, I will add that reward tier.

That is a good point. There is many reasons to be able to tell the KS Excl. from the KS Excl. Gilded. How about a put a non-numbered seal on the gilded tuck case?

Better price on the set than I thought, which is a bonus. I presume GW doing fulfillment so shipping price shouldn't be terrible. Happy to be a returning backer Jody!

Thanks, Jody! I am in for the triple deck pledge. :D

Anything that you can do to differentiate the KS standard and KS Gilded would be great. Thanks, again!

I made some changes to the rewards that give some pretty significant savings.

I'm usually a decks only kinda guy, but that luxury case looks very nice. Getting it plus the coin for $18 extra seems like a good deal. Hopefully there isn't a huge difference in shipping costs either.

EDIT: And as it just went live, I can now check. $10 to ship a pair, $15 to ship the luxury set tier. Hmmm...

I agree that a mixed brick or half brick would be a good idea.

Those of us in the US ought to pool together for 12 gilded decks at $240 or $20 each. Any interest? I would buy two at that price.

I know I had said I would be sitting this one out, even though I was very happy to see Jody moving in a new direction, art-wise. Well... the art is better than I originally anticipated. I'm in. Like, for a lot. Go figure.

You won me over, Jody!

This is a very minor point, but I can't not mention it now I've spotted it. :roll:

In the deck comparison, you put one of the vertical lines after KS instead of before:

I was also on the fence about this, but I was swayed by the possible booklet (I love booklets). Also got my Top Aces decks delivered today, so I guess it’s Black Ink all round!

Another minor thing I noticed: Pavoris is listed as Queen of Hearts in her bio, but her card background/indices is depicted as the Queen of Spades. Can’t add a screenshot as I’m on my phone.

Congrats on getting funded!
