Funny how none of it is correct. Hahah. It's actual the Fulton October deck. It's gonna be Halloween themed.

I thought that also because of the October calendar photo tease, but this is clearly a blue and white deck. No Black, Orange or Red like one would associate with Halloween or the season of Fall.  Could be a Fulton October Fest theme I suppose.

I only own the clip joints as I know I've mentioned before. It was the only one I had the slightest interest in and the best one in my opinion. The Fulton decks are good for D&D sales. People are buying them. Why would they stop.

Personally I think Dan and Dave should have there own separate branding within D&D. A Dan produced deck and a Dave produced deck . Make it a set but each would be different per individual Buck Twin specifications. Like a sweet and sour concept that shows the Bucks individual tastes in design and handling. That would be very interesting.

Don't forget a Ful-ton of of bricks

[jmrock]

Damn Don... You've got some time on your hands...

It appears as though the Dan & Dave reign of terror is over... There seems not to be much interest in any of their releases these days... I guess we'll see how well the naysayers fair when given the opportunity to purchase bricks upon bricks of their new releases...

Well, the last three big releases were all reprints.  New Fan Backs, Steamboat, and S&M v7 Boxed.  Even before that, interest had waned.

[xela]

Hahaha I can't believe I missed that post, Don.

All new D&D decks should come bundled with some lotion and maybe a D&D collectible action figure

[MrMollusk]

I really, REALLY hope D&D break out of the downward trend they've been following recently. I'm not optimistic.
The "preview" looks pretty plain, and "Fulton's October" seems like an unwieldy theme. Pray for custom courts, guys.

Fulton's Sex Toys and Bedroom Weapons

I'd totally buy those decks.

Push the button on its back and it says, "It puts the lotion on the skin..."

[Joker and the Thief]

Well these two images have surfaced. The skeleton that looks much like a king of hearts was posted very recently and the bones D&D logo was posted on Facebook a couple of days ago.

As siegismyname said; it's looking like this deck will be Halloween themed. But what Halloween themes could this deck be based off?

They're finally teaming up with Big Blind Media to make a D&D Karnival deck!

Ah well that's a shame. I think the Clip Joints were barely okay because of the backs. The Casinos were only cool cause the you can pick out an ace just by looking at the back design. The Chinatowns were just terrible in color. I don't have high hopes for this new Fulton deck.

The Clip Joint back design is very nicely done. The single pip design was tastefully elegant. I like that the ace pip sizes are NOT flamboyantly too large or as large as the AoS. Many companies are trying to replicate that single custom pip idea. None have done it better.

[Siegismyname]

These backs are gonna be based of the rider backs with some tweaks. It will also only be sold in the month of October.

[Don Boyer]

These backs are gonna be based of the rider backs with some tweaks. It will also only be sold in the month of October.

But USPC said clearly that the Legal Department was no longer permitting any alterations of the Rider Back.  Those would have to be some HUGE tweaks to pass muster.  Either that or it's actually a Mandolin or Maiden Back - the two "near look-alikes".

If that's the case I think we'll find that the new Fultons could be inspired by the Rider backs with a back design that ties into that classic design.

[Siegismyname]

I haven't seen the design but I m guessing its like how the 'Hi My Name is Mark' deck has been tweaked.

I remember seeing it somewhere on this forum. But I went back to its original thread and couldn't find it. Maybe see_squared can share it with us as I didn't receive the email that was sent that contained a teaser of the backs.

EDIT: here it is. And the AoS as well http://aethercards.com/discourse/playing-card-plethora/hmnim-playing-cards/

When I said "barely okay because of the backs" I was referring to how the backs ruined it for me. I understand it looks like streams of smoke (a little) but it just doesn't really the theme of a smoke filled clip joint. The design in itself is nice, just doesn't mesh well with the theme. The single pip design is what saved the deck for me.

I wouldn't say that the Hi My Name Is Mark deck is all that close to a Rider Back - there's a few elements, but those are elements common to other designs as well.

If the back has anything that can directly be connected to the Rider Back - more than just the layout, something more like any of the details - it's not getting past the Legal Department.  This tells me that it's not that close to the Rider Back.  Something like the Maiden Back or the Mandolin Back are as close as you'll find, and those were specifically created to be nearly the same but different enough to pass a legal challenge - they have practically no detail elements in common, just ones that look similar to the Rider Back without quite being the same.  They're very strict about that now - since they can't lean on copyright law, they have to use trademark law, and if you mess too much with your trademark, it's not much of a trademark after all, is it?  I'd question whether that would even pass a legal challenge in court, but it's all they've got.

Yeah now I remember. I was doing Coffee with Dan and Dave once and they teased a glimpse of a nautical themed back design. Turns out it is the Hi My Name Is Mark Deck. So I guess that's where Dan and Dave's collaboration with them comes in. So that's another deck we have to look forward to. I'm really digging that design.

Sorry Don. I was referring to this new Fulton deck that we're expecting.


UPDATE:

New photo just posted by the twins.

After all, the idea of ​​a variety of creative production

Sure enough, this photograph issued by the Fulton

You can see that

Brand tongue inside interesting composition

If there tale

People from the open card box began curious

It is clearly a "PLAYING CARDS" and initialed

Not surprisingly, then will be available in October ~

Interesting to say the least, always up for a good mystery, lol

[MrMollusk]

We already have a topic for this (I think)
http://aethercards.com/discourse/playing-card-plethora/(new)-fulton-deck-dan-and-dave/
It's called the Fulton October deck.

Here's another teaser

Merging topics now...  Guys, look before you make new topics - sometimes you get beat to the punch.

The artwork reminds me a little of Edward Gorey...

[Card Player]

"@bucktwins: Our harvest of tricks and treats is now in season. And who better to serve you then…the dead! Tonight, we wake them."

[Collector]

This can be a nice deck, by the way. I doubt in really custom court cards but maybe... 

[Nurul]

"Surprise. Tonight the dearly departed will rise"

Very cryptic ....

[MrMollusk]

I'm actually loving it so far.

This just might shape up to be a good deck.

I'm just praying that they break their trend of wasting the ad cards. It would be awesome if there was another card where that skeleton was intact. That would make a pretty cool gaff.

Then again, this preview looks kind of goofy.

[kdklown]

FYI.  Just checked their site.  There's a countdown timer to "Next Release".  It will end at 11:00 pm EST.  I assume it's safe to assume that release will be this deck. 

[MrMollusk]

Aaaaaand released.

http://shop.dananddave.com/october-playing-cards.html#









Eh. They're kinda cool. The back is sorta cheesy, but I dig the AoS and box.

The courts kinda have too much negative space.

EDIT: AAAAAAAAAND THEY'RE GONE

They couldn't have possibly run out of stock in 8 minutes.

[bhong]

That sold out super fast. I wonder how many decks were actually printed and how many were held for the future (ie. Variety boxes, etc).

edit: Even though it'd give them more negative space, I think the courts could have worked well without the border. And I guess they're back in stock again.

[Anthony]

Kind of agree with you Mollusk, don't care the the courts or the backs very much, I guess it's great for the season, but I don't feel like I'm missing out on a great deck.

[MrMollusk]

[Fanofyankees13]

Not sold out for me....

[Curt]

Not sold out for me....

Same here, I could add them to cart not problem, didn't buy them though. Must have just been a glitch.

[Don Boyer]

Not sold out at all, people.  They're probably just getting so many hits right now it's hard to process them.

I like how they mentioned that the decks will be available until October 31st or while supplies last.  You can bet that if there's any leftovers, we'll be seeing them again not only next October, but also in the Deck of the Month Club (is anyone still in that anymore?), Variety Boxes, contest prizes, box-top mail-ins, the prize in Frosted Flakes, etc...  But not for sale, because they're only available until October 31st.

[loldudex2]

I really enjoy the tuck a lot, but other then that I couldn't care less.

[Don Boyer]

I really enjoy the tuck a lot, but other then that I couldn't care less.

That, and they tried a little too hard to make a unique name for the deck, I think.  They should have simply named it after what it's really about - Halloween.  But knowing them, they'll come up with some reason similar to the excuse they gave for the Fulton's Chinatown deck, like how it's all about what October was like for Brad Fulton's inner child and blah blah blah.

[chess]

For those of you considering buying the deck, dont.  they repeated the artwork on all the courts.  all of the jacks, queens, and kings are the same except for the king of hearts.

I agree. For $7.95 a deck for standard pips and same artwork with the court cards, I recommend to stay away.

[Don Boyer]

The same 3 courts are used for every suit.

/rage

I'm told the King of Hearts is different.  Still, even standard courts are different from suit to suit!  It's actually a step DOWN from standard courts...

[jmrock]

What can I say... I like the deck... Although skulls have been done to death, the art is unique and refreshing and the I like the storyboard on the inside of the tuck box... Yes, they have room for improvement, but are still superior than many decks being produced / funded... Well done...

[Rob Wright]

[Don Boyer]

Yep, just the King of Hearts deviates from the "same courts" pattern.

It's a shame, too.  The art is nice, from what I can see - all it needed was more of it.  It gives one the impression that the deck was rushed into production without adequate time to complete all the art.  Perhaps they had to make a decision about doing it right or doing it in time for Halloween sales - but even so, that just means things got rolling on it too late.  To me, using the same art on all the courts from suit to suit feels like it was phoned in.

[Rob Wright]

Sorry for the shitty picture. Just wanted to get it out there for everybody to see what people are complaining about. Overall I like the deck, but definitely feel like they phoned half the deck in. The front and back of the tuck are the same as well.

[Anthony]

It's a nice little tuck box for this time of the year, but beyond that I wasn't really "WOWED" by the deck and I have others decks I would rather get.

[Rob Wright]

Color Change? I wonder if they reworked the courts to be different?

Ooo... Fulton's October #playingcards by @bucktwins Available this Friday at 8PM, PST. Just in time for #Halloween!

[GBrown]

I wasn't too impressed by the initial deck, and a simple reworking of that is pretty much an easy cop out - surely 'could try harder'?

[Rose]

Okay, why print the inside of the box to the point that you will only ever see all the artwork by ripping it open?
October deck, many have said it looks rushed, considering we are half way through October yes probably.
I do like the art style, it is quirky and fun. Especially on the front of the box. The court cards are okay.
It seems the remainder of the deck is standard, so that is underwhelming.

I'm sure you'll be more underwhelmed when you realize that they appear to have repeated last year's blunder by making repeating courts, the only exception being the king of hearts.  This was not a well-received deck and what I see here adds up to little being changed except the box/back color and a raven seal - or was the raven seal there last year as well?

It's a shame, but I find nearly all their current offerings rather mundane or outright unappealing - and the few exceptions often have a price tag that far outweighs the appeal.

At least we can be sure these decks will make it into the next series of "mystery decks" and "variety box".
