I believe this one came from Jack's mind. They're both T-Rex's but that's about it.

One could argue is there such thing as original art or ideas these days, but perhaps I keep that can of worms sealed for another day.

Hideous back design wow. Make sure u don't post paid material. It's not like they will show everyone for free eventually in order to sell the product, but thanks for your virtue and telling others how they should behave. Good quick effective messaging.

Nothing kevork said in his post was directed at you, why then the need for a snide comment?

Nothing in that comment was directed toward YOU so why perk up? People say all kinds of things people don't like. It sounded like a shill tool thing to say so I commented which in turn was something you didn't like. It could go on for a while this way.

You posted it in a forum in which a group of people with similar interest post. By default, when you post something in a forum you are "directing" it to others. You could have just sent him a private message if you don't like others commenting on it. I think you try to read too much in others posts. Try just relaxing and not getting worked up over every post.

I did not get paid nor expect anything in return for sharing a project I'm excited about. I pay for his Patreon and out of respect for the artist, I'm trying to highlight that I want to do my best to respect the paid platform and not devalue it. Perhaps I felt an increased need to mention it since Jonathan, an awesome collector, recently created a JBP discord where people can discuss or post anything JBP related.

Here's a shill though: There are 5 spaces remaining for Jack's Fellow Venturer tier. If you like his works and want to be a part of the journey, sign up here: https://www.patreon.com/c/jackbrutuspenny/membership
He posts extensive weekly updates and has been consistent since the Patreon's fruition.

P.S. Since you responded in the way you did, I'm remembering you being one who particularly had an issue with Patreon stuff being discussed in the Oath thread?

Hi all, I was trying to see if there was already a thread open about this project. I love so many people in this community, helping share projects that excite them, and it's truly hugely helpful to creators. I know when I made my first deck, Culturae Animalis, without people here just sharing it and talking about it, my work wouldn't have been noticed and I likely wouldn't be here, creating passionately today.

Allow me to share some more photos for you to explore. The project is in pre-launch now and I would be honoured if you would explore it and join for notifications - it makes a big difference. Otherwise, I'm just really excited about this. It's an evolution from my first ever deck - Culturae Animalis was focussed on the art and story - Dapper Menagerie is that, with the art and story, but now with the player at the forefront. The first of pieces made specifically for shuffle and play - Shuffled Stories Vol1.

Copper foil is such an underrated metallic foil. Seeing Jack embraced it for these decks is very appealing~

I put inventory on my website as what is available for sale at the time (if there were an option to change 'sold out' to 'not available' or something, then I would edit the phrasing), but I do this to leave a buffer to ensure that I never sell something that I can't deliver on. I did a big inventory check and these are the remaining pieces. 4 bricks of the silver. All gold gone. Except the couple of my personal pieces.

The standard deck is not gilded. I did want the main deck to cover all such concerns and I've heard this concern before. The Signature Edition is gilded - because for me as a player - such a feature makes no difference to my playability but elevates my joy of seeing and using the pieces (where it makes aesthetic sense). So, hopefully, the two options provide what anyone might be looking for!
