Have you seen the variety of Lovecraft Mythos-based decks that have already come before it, especially on Kickstarter?  You're facing quite a bit of stiff competition...  If you're going to do something that's been done before and you want people to stand up and take notice, you really should do it head-and-shoulders above what came before you.

The concept of the Spanish deck and the dice game are unique, so I'll give you credit for that.

What company have you lined up for the print work?  Collectors take notice of things like that.

Hi Don!

Sure, it's not presented as the first lovecraftian deck, obviously. I've got some of those decks (I'm also waiting for one of them since 2014, btw). These decks are specifically based on Innsmouth, more than just in "Lovecraft" or "Cthulhu" which are the general tone.
It will be printed on MPC but other options with the same quality are also in consideration. These project is focused in Lovecraft fans, more than collectors, but it seemed interesting to comment here :)
