Hello,

I've just recently launched a Kickstarter for a deck of playing cards and here seems like an ideal place to let people know about it. If you like the project then maybe consider backing it or spreading the word. Here is a link to the project if you're interested:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/adamdesignsthings/nova-a-playing-card-deck?ref=6occjj

Many thanks for your time and apologies for the shameless self-promotion,

Adam

  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

  • Facebook:
It looks like a very nice, modern, clean design.  I would advise using a different printer, though.  Noir Arts Playing Card Company isn't known for quality work.  Everyone I've known who backed a deck made by NPCC expressed dissatisfaction with it and I have a deck given to me by the designer that they made which I found very disappointing.  It was printed on a stock with a cheap, tacky finish and has a "pressure lip" around the edges of the cards, the result of pressing several cards through the cutting die at once rather than using individual cuts to remove cards from the paper.  It's just poor quality.

I'd sooner use MakePlayingCards.com than NPCC, and MPC isn't the best, but they're better than NPCC and they make print runs as small as a single deck - I've seen designers create a project for as little as a goal of $1,000 using MPC as the printer because of their infinite flexibility in print run size.  There are better printers out there and not all are terrifically expensive.

Thanks for the reply, Don! It's unfortunate to hear about your experiences with NPCC decks, this is the first I've read about poor quality from them. When researching them I had found quite the opposite in fact. In any case, for my first foray into playing cards I'm sure the quality will be more than sufficient for what I need.  :)
