Hi there!

happy to see a thread about Delirium here too

Delirium will be live on Kickstarter from this saturday, 1st of november 2014 at 2PM NYC time.

The project is changed a bit, I decided to print only the "Prism" deck with Expert Playing Cards Co (instead have a funding goal with MPC + an Epcc stretch goal).

The deck will be printed on a new prismatic stock by EPCC. Never used before, matte and very bright (so colors won't be affected much) - and change colors at different angle.

More informations on Delirium on:

Thirdway website - www.thirdway.it
Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/thirdwayindustries
newsletter - http://goo.gl/MmUEDg (If you are interested in special products, prototypes for example, I suggest to sign the newsletter, I always ask there before anywhere else.)

Of course ask me everything here or by mail > giovanni@thirdway.it

Hope you like Delirium!

Cheers

Giovanni

The custom suit on the center's of the AoD, AoC & AoH are some of the best I've seen on a deck of cards!

I'm a huge fan of Giovanni's. Which is odd, considering I tend to favor decks that are much more traditional. This deck is full of glorious spectacle and well, it's just so much fun.

This is a great deck, in my humble opinion.

Hi there guys, and sorry for my lack of presence here. I was really busy setting up the campaign

I promise I'll do my best to post here any important update too!

@Fes and @Card Player - Your comments made my day. Thanks, really

I unleashed some Delirium Birds (like early birds, but crazy instead of early).
Are almost all sold out, but there is a discounted half brick left.

I gotta ask - is this a typo or was it written by the Delirium Birds?

I really don't use Facebok much - even less than Facebook, for that matter...

Oh my.......

It's written by a silly designer who'll correct it as soon as possible!

Thanks Don for the heads up!

Collector · « **Reply #16 on:** November 08, 2014, 04:21:08 PM »

Geometrical objects always simplify the creation of symmetrically drawn playing cards. The symmetry of this nice design is based on a simple reflection of an illustration. I think it can be improved. I tried to draw my idea.

Thirdway Industries · « **Reply #17 on:** November 09, 2014, 05:14:11 PM »

Hi Collector,

those parts are done on purpose: the idea is have intricate illustration with a linear reflection effect, so every card have a straight horizontal cut in the middle.

Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate really much you watched the cards in details!

I am working on a signature edition, stay tuned!

I did not expect to hear that, very cool. Free book on 4+ decks. Extremely generous in my opinion.

The book is nice. The red seal is strange (colour). My horribly subjective opinion - blue one can be better.

Wow yea, only a day and a half left. This has been a great campaign, lots of fun. No idea how Giovanni comes up with the things he does, but I'm really glad he does it haha.

EB's are gone but.... Signature Decks are still available!!!!

If you're on the fence about these, don't wait too long. The clock is ticking away.

Hey Fes, I'm really happy you had fun! I don't know how I make those thing too

Delirium was born when I was trying to re-draw the courts of a simple Modiano deck (classic french) with a crazy and personal style (but watching the postures and the weapons accurately)

About the seal and inner... I know it's really a difficult choice.
I decided for red because I think for a "delirium deck" is better a contrast color than an harmonic one. However I think both colors are good

I hope to have a prototype or at least some pictures of the prismatic stock soon

I'm looking forward to seeing the prism effect too! It's one of the main reasons I backed this deck...

Thirdway Industries · « **Reply #31 on:** December 04, 2014, 07:17:13 PM »

Hi Aldazar, I'm working hard on the prismatic stock with EPCC

We already found one we like, but we want evaluate some alternatives to pick the best one. I know that the prismatic stock is a key feature and want a stunning one

If we find more than one prismatic stock we like, I think I'll ask backers what they prefer.

I hope to have fast news on this!

Thank you for your great support,

Cheers

Giovanni

Giovanni does it AGAIN!

I just read an update on Delirium. The Signature series tuck box will now feature Embossing in addition to the crazy cool chubby resin bubble. I was pretty impressed to hear that. Honestly did not expect he would emboss the tuck. I think this confirms it, Giovanni is indeed crazy haha. I mean that in the absolute best way possible.

Check out the chubby bubble!

Thirdway Industries · « **Reply #36 on:** January 22, 2015, 06:40:02 AM »

Fes anticipated me

Thank you buddy!

I was going to update you today (I work as art director daytime and usually I come home destroyed...so yesterday I just updated the backers and putted a couple of images on Facebook and Instagram).

I confirm, I embossed the Signature Tuckbox, it costed more to me, but I think it add value to Signature Edition. It's like a "free stretch goal" :p

Embossing and resin bubble are two different things. Embossing affect the tuck box paper, the resin is applied on the tuckbox and it's (of course) not paper (and very glossy and soft).

If you want get a limited edition, I have some unsold > http://www.thirdway.it/wordpress/product/delirium-signature-edition/

I also confirm I'm crazy.

Actually, I was recently doing a bit of research on embossing. ANY means by which the surface of the box is raised, be it by application of pressure on a die to reshape the paper from flat to raised OR by applying a substance to its surface that creates a layer on the paper, is considered embossing. Two different ways of achieving the same thing.

@Don - sorry, didn't get the notifications of the answers :/
I was trying to explain that the resin bubble and the "emboss" are made in two different ways and with different materials (paper/resin)

Anyways, thank you for the clarification!

@Collector
Thank you

Ps. I got some pictures of Delirium Prism tuckbox and it's awesome. I want just wait to have it in my hand to make an "official update". It will come in the next days I think

We are excited to say that Conjuring Arts has a small number of Delirium for sale now too.
Also Conjuring Arts is releasing the long awaited EVIL deck by Giovanni!
Check them both out here: http://shop.conjuringarts.org/store/pc/Delirium-and-Evil-Cards-c188.htm

It should also be noted that Conjuring Arts is testing direct fulfillment from Taipei. This means that we didn't take the 30-40 days to ship the cards to the U.S. to fulfill the orders but will fulfill by Taiwan Post worldwide. The postage prices are the same as always and we expect the orders to go out and deliver very quickly saving everyone time.
If this works as expected Expert PCC will offer this direct fulfillment to card designers and publishers so that decks can be shipped much more quickly after production and not get held up with sea freight delays.

Don Boyer · « **Reply #49 on:** May 15, 2015, 04:21:29 PM »

I'm interested to know how long this new fulfillment option will take, in terms of delivery to places like New York, Los Angeles, the UK, Eastern Australia, etc. It sounds like it could be a big time saver, giving project creators not only the option to not have to deal with the massive number of shipments, but also getting the decks into their backers hands faster!

If this is a successful test, are you considering offering full fulfillment services? By this I mean, would a project creator who's offering other items like art prints and t-shirts have them shipped from your Taipei warehouse with the decks? While in some cases this could increase delivery times, if a creator is having items made for their project in that region of the world to start with, it could potentially add up to even more time saved.

Expert P.C. Co. · « **Reply #50 on:** May 15, 2015, 04:35:16 PM »

We are open to all of those things but do not want to make things more complicated than need be.
Let's try to get those forum members ordering now to post when things arrive so that we have an idea of postal times directly from Taipei.

HankMan · « **Reply #51 on:** May 15, 2015, 10:04:13 PM »

It's not the website that's in Chinese - it's the tracking info from China Post. And yes, it's from CARC.

Click ME to order the Evil Deck.

Click ME to order the Delirium Prism deck.

Each deck is $14.95 plus postage. As a test run, I went through the ordering process to determine the shipping charge - domestic is $4.50 for a single deck, $5.00 for two decks - and as one can guess, the per-deck cost to ship goes down to a point.

Only 100 of the Delirium Prism decks are available from CARC - order them NOW if that's your fancy!

I'm eager to see the difference when ordering direct from the factory like this in terms of shipment arrival time.
