Modern Idols - from TWI

Unread post by Thirdway Industries »

Hello UC!

I released a teaser of my upcoming series Modern Idols on my newsletter, yesterday.
Probably I will release it on Kickstarter after Order will be delivered.

Here is the microsite with a lot of pictures and funny features > http://www.thirdway.it/idols/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;"

Neon Inks and pure silver metallic again 8-)

I hope you'll like it!

Gio

WORSHIP GIO :D

... on a serious note:
Cool micro site, as always. I just had to make an offering to the idols.
Will the cards be full bleed printed or will you use blue and purple stock? Would be an awesome feature, imo.

The first thing I asked on Patreon was if there was going to be a purple deck, it brings a tear to my eye to finally see a purple Thirdway deck.

Pantheon is a purple deck with foil ;)

I actually forgot the cards were purple! But I mean the tuck specifically, the foil on the Pantheon only made me crave something more... I want to be able to see a beautiful purple rectangular gem from across the room lol.

@Harvonsgard - oh no! Don't worship me, I am a mere amateur Oracle of the God of Fear and Hope. :uggrin:

I just processed the first Offerings, this backfired a little since I didn't thought so many would offer. I hope my replies will be fun enough.

Nono the cards will be printed on white - it's the only way to keep metallics and neon inks super shiny! I agree that use a dark paper would be fun, though.

---

@Adonael @Sherman - Yes, Pantheon is my only violet deck for now. But with Idols, we'll have also Fear :-)

Still looking to see something great out of you since Eva, man...

(I suppose that Monolith was great.)

I'm slightly confused over what you're trying to achieve with Offerings, but it's a bit of fun, so I probably will sling a few bucks your way before this launches.

I'll be in this one as soon as it's launched.

I figured that. But asking never hurts. Maybe there was some new neon stuff that could handle darker paper.
I passed on Monolith and Lunatica, I probably will pick some of these up, since I wanna see some of your flashy/crazy stuff first hand this time :D .

I think Monolith and Lunatica are ones of my best ones, of course if you love crazy things.
Idols, in terms of technology/colors, is the "son" of those two :D

Fun courts like Delerium. Nice to see you can get away from Odissea, Monolith, and Betrayers etc. designs. :D

About Delirium, there is an easter egg - follow the path of Hope and check the Idol of Curiosity. The tiny alien looks like........

About the style, it's halfway between Lunatica and my "signature" style. I wanted something fun, colorful, but complicated and relatively "serious". I'm happy you like it!

The project will be almost for sure like Lunatica, 4 decks - 2 "unlimited" editions very affordable and 2 limited with the same cards and an experimental tuckbox - probably limitd to 777.
There won't be almost for sure no extra editions apart those 4 - never say never, of course, but other decks are totally unplanned and the 4 editions should prevent production issues that usually force me to do extra editions. The limited edition won't be crazy expensive on Kickstarter.

The "experimental" is there since I want to test a new way to make tuckboxes, with a very premium paper imported from Europe.

Probably USPCC and GW again :-)

With this hint, I went back to the page to search if there were any hidden links ON the alien, only to realize after 5 mins what you meant was that the alien is the Delirium creature :lol:

So soon! For anyone else in Australia, remember this is only days after the incredibly annoying daylight savings time which screws everything up comes into effect. So for states which don't use DST it will actually be 1:00.

Nope, Gio's accounted for DST, on both ends, so the published times are correct. DST doesn't end in the States til November.

Edit: Ignore me, I forgot you're bending bananas up there.

Yeah it's fine, Sydney time is the best one to use, for a number of months each year different parts of Australia are one hour ahead/behind eachother, it's dumb lol just something us Australians have to watch out for depending where we live.
