Might want to include a link to the FB page

Welcome! The Design & Development board is perfect for people who want critique on their work before it heads to the presses, check it out.

Alex - I want back the 5:59 I spent watching that.  I don't think this would be considered a "B" movie or "C" movie.

It's more or less a tongue in cheek parody of B-list 80s action movies, which is why it's so awesome.

I third that

Also agree with running a small team on this.  If Jackson is willing to devote his time to the design, I think free reign will get the best result artistically.  Nice one Jackson.  Others to promote the campaign, great, and I think you'll have a winner.

Jackson volunteered his time for the backs/tuck, so we still need someone for:

Jokers, AoS, pips, courts (optional)

Preferably one person would tackle the rest of the list. 

Funding would be an issue if it was just a "Discourse deck." A joint venture seems more appropriate, perhaps with 52+ fans, PCF fans and fans of Lee Asher's magic, it could get done.

The last forum deck here was a failure because of, like Don said, too many cooks in the kitchen. It was a member's collab effort, and went down the drain as a result of every member having vastly different artistic skill.

The last forum deck to get funded wasn't even really funded, it got about half way before receiving the other half of its funding in one lump pledge. Maybe it was self-funded or maybe there was just one guy who wanted thousands of decks, but either way we can't rely on that kind of luck.

Decks that don't go "viral" (and this one certainly won't, since it would be by the members, for the members) must rely on proper marketing. I hate to say it, but it would be easier to get a shitty deck made with great marketing, than an amazing deck made with poor marketing.

So before all else, I think we should have a discussion about exactly how we will find the numbers needed to accomplish this.

A 2500 deck run seems most appropriate, and I love the idea of mixing vintage with modern. However, could we get a unique feel for the cards? The best thing about vintage decks from the 60s-80s is their handling.

On my to do list: Break into Jmrock's house and steal those Steamboats.

On a serious note, I'll post up my collection when I move into a new place and unpack my decks! I hope they didn't get ruined in the box they're inside of D:

Speaking of change how long have you had that french fry on your upper lip?      You have to have some grey hair by now running this board.

I'm actually starting to get grey streaks on the sides of my head, so there you go!

The fry will never change, btw

And it's really tempting to perform Fraud, especially because of how many anti-counterfeit measures we have.

Still, I need a reliable bill-switch since I wouldn't be wearing a coat indoors. Anyone have any (ORIGINAL, not copyrighted) ideas about switching out your bill for theirs?

My current thought is to do it while I have them find a sharpie to sign the bill with, but it's risky and wouldn't work with multiple people around.

So yeah, I don't think there's a better fit for who to pass the torch to!

I'll be sticking around as long as I have time to do any staffing/moderation as needed, as well as some back end stuff, for as long as I have time to log in each day and do that!

Being the only gold member here certainly is fun too, I have no idea why I didn't use that color before when we just had an Admin rank. 8]

@Sprouts: Don't think you're off the hook just because we have new owners. You are still on a leash, behind a fence, quarantined on an island called the Lolaq with all your insanity. >_>

I wasn't aware KS added that feature, although back when I did my project they didn't even require you to fill out a "risks and challenges" form.

You'd probably want a certain % requirement for getting marked as fulfilled, since tossing a backer the power to completely kill a start-up by checking "not received" would be silly.

As for KS liability, their ToS have almost nothing to do with legal liability. When you agree to a website's ToS, it's not even legally binding (at least not in the USA). If they got involved, they could just as easily provide tools for project creators to work with their backers and still maintain their cut.

I'm not sure how they do it now, but when I was shipping I got my addresses in some horribly formatted Excel spreadsheet that had an abundance of errors and absolutely no sorting to it. That's it. Meanwhile, if I sell on eBay/Amazon/PayPal and literally anywhere else I get amazing tools to manage my sales. And guess what? If I sell you something on eBay, eBay isn't liable for it, just like I am not liable on this forum for sales made in STISOs by other people.

Considering how small the KS team is, it's probably just extreme laziness on their part. Heck, try sending an email to their support. You'd be lucky to hear back at all!

Fair enough, it works very well on my Zippo board and takes nothing away from actual posts/posting, just thought I would mention it.

I'm sure sometimes it works, but every board I've owned/modded that implemented it saw a drop in activity. At some point I do want to implement a PM system that is instant, like Facebook chat, and live, but that's far out. I'll consider allowing inviting people to the conversation, that'd be really cool actually!

Isn't that the YT guy who, like John B mentioned, whines about eeeeeverything?
