Title: Bicycle Visions of Class Strife (2nd try) (KS)
Post by: Don Boyer on July 24, 2013, 06:01:52 AM

First, the topic for the original, unsuccessful project:
http://aethercards.com/discourse/playing-card-plethora/steampunk-playing-cards-visions-of-class-strife-(ks)/

Now, the KS page for the new one:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dragonr-d/steampunk-themed-bicycle-playing-card-decks-printe

Going with Bicycle branding this time, and two different deck designs.  Sounds unusually ambitious for a deck that failed on the first try.

Your thoughts?

Mine, you ask?  Steampunk as a deck theme is a bit tired.  If you're going to do it, do it right or go home.  As was said by Alex about the first version, brown gears does not steampunk make.  You need much more serious originality to pull it off now, especially as the genre is practically becoming mainstream.

It's cute, the detail on the art could be improved (more grime, more shadowing, better underlay) but it's not bad.  I'll back this one.

One more steampunk deck and steam will start coming out of my ears. ???
