Title: The Planets: Mercury by Vanda
Post by: davegk on September 10, 2017, 12:05:21 PM
Hey all,

In case you haven't heard, the next project in the Vanda Artists Series lineup launches today on Kickstarter (in about 6 hours from now).

This is the first deck of an 8-deck series called "The Planets" and it features planet #1: Mercury.

You can check out the campaign draft page at:

I hope to see you all there!

My wife and I both were pretty impressed with the overall look.  But isn't it bending the KS rules a little to sell decks from future projects that haven't even launched yet?  You don't want them shutting you down, do you?

Thanks, Don—glad you like the series!

I think it's okay to offer the other decks in the series as rewards since they're part of a set and it's also what backers specifically asked for. I also made it very clear that the whole set won't be sent out until after the final campaign of the series.

But what happens if one of the sets doesn't get funded?

Given how much interest I've seen so far, I doubt this will happen, but in the event it does I have some other options to get these decks produced. Worst case is I would refund backers for decks not produced but I think that will be very very unlikely at this point.

I love this deck.  The court art is amazing.  I'll have to clear space on my 'awesome' card shelf to make way for the whole series.  Also, I am super intrigued by the idea of a pluto surprise.  Nice work!
