The New Deck Report and Archive

[Don Boyer]

On KS, as expected, Hardwood closed very successfully, raising $27,879/$900.  That's nearly 3,100%!!  I don't think even the Misc. Goods Co. deck or the recent Federal 52 had that kind of percentage of goal raised - did they?

David Goldklang has another hit on his hands, as the Mustache Deck crosses into overfunding territory after roughly a week!  Good for you, Dave!

Visions of Class Strife closes Monday at 14:00 UTC.

Two new KS decks: Brite Neon and Bicycle Grana Magicae.

On KS,  two unsuccessful projects today: Visions of Class Strife closed at $6,127/$7,250 while the Bicycle geoDeck closed at $6,172/$12,000.  No more closures are expected between now and the next report.

Zombie Riders, available in both Bicycle and non-branded versions, just reached their goal with about twelve days remaining for their project.  Congrats to Gavin Rooney and Home Run Games.

KS closings:
Bicycle Michael Frommer 1616 Silver Deck succeeded, by the skin of its teeth: $8,529/$8,500.
54 to Blame didn't, by a very large margin: $265/$2,965.
There are no closings scheduled between now and the next report, Monday.

New KS decks:
The Name of the Wind, by Albino Dragon, based on the novel by Patrick Rothfuss.
Bicycle LGBT Playing Cards
Desjgn "Classic Victorian" 100% plastic playing cards
The Ultimate Zombie Deck

For those interested, there is also a Ganjifa deck in the traditional Indian style that went live, but I'm not tracking it as we generally only cover Anglo-Rouen style decks, largely because it's all most of you ever collect.

I removed color-coded titles on the Active KS list, since we have a calendar that does the same work of letting you know what's on the verge of closing and when.  Also removing the color-coded titles from the calendar since we have the Active KS list for that.  Repeating work gets tiresome...

BTW: am I the only one who's noticed that Kickstarter is spazzing out?  The pages are in constant reload on my machine at work, sucking processor cycles like a Dyson on a dust bunny ranch.  I usually open a LOT of pages on KS at once to compile this report and it was beginning to grind to a halt...

No report for four days...and no one says anything??

4 Horsemen Playing Cards closed yesterday with a healthy $8,347/$6,666 while Bicycle Fathers of Industry closed unsuccessfully with only $603/$9,150.

Bicycle 8-Bit "Traditional" playing cards closes later today - roughly midday in the US and Canada, 18:47 UTC.

New on KS: "Pelted Primacy" appeared - then rapidly disappeared, due to a need to reorganize the project and bring it back to reality - and has now re-appeared as a Bicycle-branded deck.

Congratulations yet again to Erik Dahlman/Albino Dragon for another hugely successful deck - Bicycle the Name of the Wind has nearly triple its goal pledged in under a week!

[Don Boyer]

Due to the demands on my time in my personal life, I have to trim down the number of reports to once a week - Saturday morning seems as good as any.  I'm also seeking a respected, responsible board member interested in taking over the report and perhaps, if it works well, increasing the number of reports per week.

I'm also dropping the calendar feature.  Trying to keep it simple.

New company deck announcements:
* The Blue Crown's mystery deck was the White Aladdin deck, done in a smooth finish.
* Not a new announcement, but the Bicycle Pluma deck (another Club 808 exclusive) comes out on Mon 1 July.  It is unknown what the June 1st release for Club 808 will be, if any.

New KS closings:
Bicycle Majestic - $21,248/$15,000 - SUCCESS.
Bicycle Diamond Cut (second attempt) - $1,254/$8,500 - CANCELED BY CREATOR.
(Bicycle Allure White closes in a half-day, the Mustache Deck closes in a day-and-a-half.  Two more decks close within the next seven days.)

New KS openings:
Bicycle Elves & Orcs (from the creator of Bicycle Steampunk Cthulhu)
Native Art Playing Cards (the natives being native Alaskans)
"Emotions" Playing Cards (two decks; one black and in color, one white and in grayscale)
Rabbit Rabbit
Bicycle E8 Garden Deck
Young Artists Custom Playing Cards
Guncraft: the Deck
...seven new deck projects?  IN ONE WEEK?  Insane...

Other KS projects that have reached their goal/still running:]
Bicycle Ultimate Zombie

KS projects that have been canceled/unsuccessful and relaunched:
Pippoglyph II Playing Cards (second attempt, this time without USPC as the printer)
Bicycle Wealth Playing Cards (second attempt)

Decks moving to the 2013 Releases:
Bicycle Cigar Deck - silly me, forgot to add it at the start of the month.
Bicycle Cherub - it turns out that's an alternate name for the Cupid Back, already in release, so technically it's already on the 2013 list...

LATE EDITS - MON 27 MAY: Eric Duan's The Butterfly Effect is in release; Kete Moon posted photos of both the black seal and gold seal editions.  Moving it to the 2013 list.
We have a topic for the Guncraft deck.  Adding the link.

News of the Week

New company deck announcements:

• The current "Bicycle Eclipse" project by Caleb Gates/AllFourAces.com has bee renamed to "Bicycle Total Eclipse" at the suggestion of USPC to avoid confusion with the pre-existing deck of the same name by Hidden Mirrors.
• In a surprise move, Nat Iwata created a NEW project for his OLD deck, the Bicycle Steampunk Cthulhu.  Funding wasn't the issue - it was simply to meet pent-up consumer demand before finally going to press; no extras or add-ons are being offered, only decks, and it ends TODAY at 18:49 UTC/2:49pm EDT.  Signed versions of this deck are also being offered as rewards on his current project, Bicycle Elves and Orcs.
• USPC's Bicycle Freakshow deck has been renamed the Bicycle Sideshow Freaks deck, and is still on schedule for general release on Mon 1 Jul 2013.
• Bicycle Truth Garden No. 04 will release on Friday at aloysstudio.com at 8pm Eastern/00:00 Saturday UTC
• The Arcane red deck by Ellusionist is being removed from the Upcoming Company Releases as it was only made as a prototype uncut sheet and not an actual deck.  The following projects (both corporate and Kickstarter) are also being removed as it appears they are no longer being considered or have been indefinitely delayed.

[Don Boyer]

I'm not feeling terribly well right now - perhaps the result of poor sleep - so no report today.  I'll work on updating it tomorrow.

Additionally, due to the sheer volume of new Kickstarter and other projects and the fact that I'm no longer running the Deck Battles board, I'm going to resume updating at least twice a week.

News of the Week

Yes, it was two weeks ago that I last updated this report.  Call it a personal mental-health break.  I'm back now and eager to kick this pig and get it moving again.  I have it all caught up on the active Kickstarter decks and will spend Saturday night getting the Company Projects page in order.

New company deck announcements:

• Zenneth Kok announced he will soon be carrying an exclusive deck from the Hong Kong street clothing company "fatboyeatallday" in extremely limited quantities.  No date has been set for this sale, but the deck is currently available from the retailer themselves - if you know where to look and how to read Chinese.
• Daniel Madison has been teasing what appears to be a new deck at Ellusionist via YouTube.com.  It looks like the back may be similar to the Bee Diamond Back, the faces has the custom courts used on the Rounders and the deck might be marked.  Or stacked.  Maybe both.  We can't tell, because they're just teasers.

News of the Week

Slight redesign to the report.  I'm restoring the "Running Totals" this time and eliminating "+/- Week".  I'm also going to post the report at both the first post of the topic and the last - the first will be regularly changed, while I'll simply be adding new posts at the end with each new report.  More tweaks are possible - this is a work in progress, so if you have ideas or suggestions, please let me know.  I'll get to the Company Projects late tonight/early tomorrow.

New company deck announcements:

• I'll get back to this!  But please, feel free to send me some tips you may have been tipped to...

News Update

• The Baconery, in collaboration with Vanda Playing Cards, has launched Bacon Playing Cards and the "Bakin' with Bacon" card game on Kickstarter Fri. 7/12 at 1pm.  There is no mention on the KS page as to what company is doing the printing.  The Baconery is a mail-order shop selling bacon-infused baked treats which has recently opened a brick-and-mortar retail location in the Manhattan Valley section of Manhattan's Upper West Side in New York City.  They also offer a "Baconery of the Month" club - a three-month membership with decks from their Kickstarter rewards tiers is actually CHEAPER than just the membership alone ordered from their website!
• Also announced yesterday, Paul Carpenter (Encarded) announced that he and Jackson Robinson (Kings Wild Project) are working on a collaboration due out before the end of the year.  No further non-hyperbolic details have been given, but it's a safe bet that it'll be at least one deck of playing cards.  With the level of success both designers have achieved in the past, this will be a project worth looking out for.
• I'm pulling the "NDZ Magic Card Deck" from the list of Kickstarter Projects - it's just a Bicycle deck modified into a gaffed magic deck, not a new custom project.  The topic for it in the Magical Cardistry Bonanza will remain.
• Still working on the Company Projects.  It'll take a little time.

New company deck announcements:

• Ø - new tips welcome!

News Update

• Lotrek is bringing us the KS project for Bicyle Venexiana at 14:00 UTC today.  Subtract four hours for EDT, seven hours for PDT.
• Robert Butler's Loop Cuts deck missed its KS funding goal, but his Loop Cuts deck clip made it in its first day.  (It helped that the goal was only $400.)  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this is more successful than his Eco Clip.  Come chat about the project here.  If you're interested in investing, the project is open until Fri 9 Aug 14:03 UTC.
• Bicycle Haunted reached its goal since the last report.  It closes Tue 13 Aug 20:08.
• Still working on the Company Projects.  It'll take a little time.  (Like a broken record, I know...)

New company deck announcements:

News Update

• Citing funding calculations handed to him by one of his backers clearly showing that he failed to account for all of his expenses on his deck and that even if successful his project would lose money, "Cy" canceled the Persian Empire deck, much to the pleasure of his many detractors.  The bad news for them is that Cy stated he's created a "special edition" version of the deck and is planning to make a relaunch at some undetermined point in the future.

Changes Since the Last Report

News Update:

• It appears that the Founders deck on KS may become the latest addition to the growing list of successfully-failed campaigns.  The project closed in March with a July delivery date.  After not posting a single update since 21 May (and not a single public update since 4 Apr), the project creator, Gregory John Slabyk, a student at SUNY Univ. of Buffalo posted one on Saturday, entitled We've landed on the moon !!! with a mere six words of body text: "One small step. One giant leap."  Backers who dug deeper found that USPC hasn't even HEARD of him, and that the Founders project has never been brought to them yet, thus making his delivery date appear fantasy-like at best, delusional at worst.  Naturally, backers are beginning to scream "Fraud!"  On our topic for the deck, Scott Carey appears to have discovered the address and telephone number used for the creation of Slabyk's business website, dodsr.com, registered as being in Washington, D.C., matching the city of origin given on the KS project page and the Department of Design's bio.  We're still awaiting more details at this point.
• Citing reasons related to upgrading his project to a USPC print run, Jason Haynes canceled his project on KS for the Royal Deck, planning to return with better numbers in term of what his project's overall cost should be.  His initial figures were considerably low for a USPC-made deck.
• It's official: the Bicycle Mirror Deck project ran out of cash partway into shipping.  Creator James Kellogg has stated that the remaining decks will ship, apparently at his expense, hopefully by the end of the month.

Changes Since the Last Report

News Update:

• Follow-up on the Founders KS campaign: surveys have been sent out.  Many are curious about what this means, assuming the project is indeed fraudulent.
• The Bicycle Radical 80's deck project on KS now has a new, sleeker back design.  It still looks like a cassette, but with some interesting depth-of-field grid lines on it.  It's much less damaging to the retinas now!  He also appears to have gotten rid of the "0" cards and replaced them with proper "10" cards, unless he's considering them as gaffs - they no longer appear on the project home page.  The project's about half-funded; check it out.
• In what appears to be a first, David Sitto of DS Designs is attempting to fund his Bicycle Diamond Cut deck not just through Kickstarter, but also through JumpStartCity.  There, it's still in the Elevator Pitch stage, with 98 of the required 500 Pitch Points needed to reach the Promotion stage.

Changes Since the Last Report

News Update:

• A quick look at another long-neglected deck project, Ultraviolet by beta17.  Over ONE YEAR after the project closed, only a small number of backers have received their decks - specifically, those who paid for early shipping.  The company has had possession of the deck since November, but have blamed (among other things) blizzards for their inability to ship decks.  Yeah, those May, June and July blizzards can be a bitch, right?    So, when Minneapolis finally thaws out of that glacier it's trapped in, perhaps those packages will start flowing again...  Meanwhile, if you're a backer, a fellow backer posted on a recent update (the first in over a half-year) the names and phone numbers of the creators, in case you'd like to give them an earful (and assuming those numbers are still active...)

New Company Deck Announcements:

• - none -

Kickstarter Projects Closed:

• Sun 28 Jul: Samurai Poker - $177/$10,000
• Mon 29 Jul: Alice of Wonderland - $22,716/$19,500

Kickstarter Projects Closing Within a Week - projects in red close within 48 hours:

Changes Since the Last Report

News Update:

• The House of Playing Cards has released their "Summer Edition" NOCs as of 8pm Eastern Tuesday (00:00 Wed).  Initially they were only available through the Blue Crown, and only to members of their Blue Crown Summer Club, limited to a membership of 144 - anyone may purchase them at HOPC.  They are "second edition" NOCs, with the suit marking system used by the other second edition NOC decks.  Unlike the other NOC deck releases, however, these are a limited edition with under 2,000 each of the light blue and orange decks for sale, never to be reprinted.
• Around the time of the last report, the KS project for Joanne Lin's Bicycle Emperor deck slammed to a halt.  She's producing 2,500 decks, but has a commitment to retailers for 1,800 of those decks, leaving only 700 for backers.  (It was also the reason for her exceptionally low goal of only $1,000.)  When that supply ran out, naturally the funding stopped cold - something that has rarely if ever occurred with a KS deck project.  Shortly after this occurred, Ms. Lin announced the creation of an unlimited edition red deck to go with the "sold out" blue one - she'll make as many of these as necessary to meet backer and retailer demand.  Funding continues...
• Check out this post for updates on past-due Kickstarter projects written earlier this week - some have delivered, while others...well...haven't.
• As I'm writing this, the KS project for Bicycle Radical 80's is $45 away from goal - congratulations in advance to Ari Steffen!
• Uusi has announced that they're soon returning to Kickstarter not with a fourth deck, but with their first.  "Blue Blood" will be receiving a minor design overhaul to bring the design closer to the "company standard" design established with the Bohemia and Royal Optik decks, as well as some updated art for selected Aces and court cards.  The start date has not yet been announced.

Changes Since the Last Report

News Update:

• Big news from Randy Butterfield - his new deck, Imperial, will be coming to Kickstarter in a partnership with House of Playing Cards (HOPC).  There will be a red deck, the "unlimited" edition to be sold on HOPC after all rewards have been fulfilled, and a dark brown Bicycle-branded version that will only be available on the forthcoming KS project.  As one would expect, HOPC will be handling all deck/reward distribution.
• A teaser page has been created by Ellusionist to draw attention to their forthcoming "Republic No. 02" deck, presumed to be the replacement to the Sultan Republic deck.  Many are speculating that the cards will have a white (inverse black) design on the back, due to the video clip showing a model on the beach dressed in white and holding a white tuck box similar to those used for the Madison decks, with the deck title on the front.  Personally, I think it's just that E got such a favorable response to the Madison decks that they want to make it a "company standard" box design, or that in the least the new deck suited the elegance of a simple design.
• Whether by accident or oversight, I somehow lost track of the "Pelted Primacy" deck on KS - I thought it was canceled a while back, but no, it's still live and ends in about 2.5 days.  Re-adding it to the KS Projects list.  It's worth a look as there has been extensive re-designing to the deck; you might like it better now than you did before.  It will be printed by USPC, but it's unclear whether it will be Bicycle-branded or not.  I noted in the topic for it that this is the third attempt at getting the deck made.
• I estimate that by this time tomorrow, Lotrek's Bicycle Venexiana deck will have crossed the threshold into being funded - congratulations, in advance!
