Actually Alex, you're the reason I'm here. I did a google search looking for Pure Smoke and found the topic where you were selling one. Thought it was a cool forum and lurked for a while and finally made an account. I'm glad I did because I've learned a lot and been kept up-to-date on releases. If I knew anyone that wanted to get into collecting, I'd point them this way. So I guess I'd just like to say thank you for brining me here.

Google Search. Backed my 1st Kickstarter card project last year around this time (Allure) and wanted to start collecting.  I then wondered if there were forums out there talking about playing cards. Found this place and UC.  This place has provided tons of information to help guide my collecting.

First, when I was not even a n00b yet, I searched for black playing cards and found Ellusionist.  That eventually led me to Theory11, D&D, etc.  From there, I was inspired to search for more custom playing cards and found some Kickstarter deck projects, still in their infancy - at the time, three projects up at once was a big deal.  It was there I found the Vortex deck, which led me to here, my home away from reality!  :))

I don't know... heard about some random dude named Alex and a vortex deck. Signed up a few days after the forum was running, became a mod a week later. Here we are over 2 years later.

The Discourse was mentioned on a KS project. I was trying to research ideas for a project that I want to do, and decided to join in.
Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.

Me too. First I've tried youtube to search for a few decks review. After that, Google, because some reviews on youtube kinda sucks. Love to hear from real users how they think about this decks. Love to be here! :D Don helped me a lot, including when I got a little spanking from him. :D

I actually found out about the forum through UC. They accused me of asking about some decks that I apparently had asked on here too lol
It was Brook Michael who accused me and then started ranting and threatening. I took it to the mods who, instead of investigating it, more or less carried it on and backed him up lol he seemed so adamant to meet me to "sort me out" so I gave him my address and number .. Kinda offended he hasn't come lol
Anyway, ever since I've joined, I've never gone back to that forum. This is my home!!
SHOGUN Playing Cards coming soon to Kickstarter

Somehow I found out about the kickstarter campaign for the vortex deck and alex. And he made this forum and I was noob and so I joined.
Do you guys even read this? Like I could have the meaning of life here and I doubt you would know it.

UC should be changing for the better, now that it's under new management.

But regardless, there's plenty of UC people who hang out here as well - so, welcome!

I found out about the Discourse around the time Russell Kercheval launched his Brimstone deck campaign on Kickstarter. That was a slippery slope... ???

Brimstone went reasonably smoothly, other than USPC Legal forcing a back design change.  Quicksilver, on the other hand...

Don, maybe I could've been clearer. I meant it was a slippery slope for me! That $5 pledge for a Brimstone deck led to hundreds more. ;)

Now THAT makes more sense!  :))  I think that was my first KS deck, while my first custom decks were a big batch of everything from E, back when Arcane was still something new.

I believe it was a vjose32 video that brought me over here. After lurking for a while, I decided to make an account and join in on all the fun! Learned a lot already.

When I had only just got in to playing cards, I was watching a lot of deck reviews. I was actually searching Google for the worst decks of playing cards and I found a video by Alex detailing his least favourite decks. Right at the start there was a link to the discourse so I followed it & arrived here.

That's really cool that people still watch my channel. I crapped my pants when I saw how many views that specific video had. o_o
