I hope you guys are doing great and enjoying your Empire decks!
Your feedback has been overwhelming. It really fills me up and has made this journey well worth taking, and something I can't wait to do again. Speaking of which...
I have some exciting news!
Some of you may already have heard, but I wanted to announce that I will soon be launching a brand new deck on Kickstarter!
The latest edition in the epic, Empire series...
Empire 'Bloodlines' Edition will be live on Kickstarter, Tuesday July 15th.
3pm PDT US
6pm EDT US
11pm UK
7am WST, AU (on the 16th)
If you liked the Empire deck, I think you'll like this too!
I'm so excited, I think it came out looking great and I can't wait to hear what you think.
I'll send you one last message when it's LIVE so feel free to come over check out the project and if you like it, It'd be an honour to have you back on board as a backer as we fight Kickstarter war together again!
Those of you who are already signed up and part of KingsandCrooks.com have had the first sneak peek yesterday. So, for those who haven't, here's a little sneak peek: (https://s3.amazonaws.com/ksr/assets/002/270/168/8ebe8113c4746f07898c271d09884061_large.jpg?1405180268:)

Empire 'Bloodlines' edition is the newest deck in the epic, Empire series by Lee McKenzie. Live on Kickstarter, Tuesday July 15th, 3pm PDT.
Hailing from the same bold and powerful story telling design of the originals, 'Bloodlines' stand their ground with a style all of their own while keeping the Empire spirit alive, rushing wildly in it's veins.
Every deck has a story. Empires have a legend. Are you ready ?

-
Why wait? :D

Of course we're ready - we already had a topic in place! (I've merged yours with it.)
We try to keep decks in the PCP to a single topic to make info easier to find later. Just do a search next time to see if one already exists before making a new one.

Lest we forget, there's also Lee's new Official Company Topic!

Less than 10 hours in. Already over 50% funded. Nice going Lee

Thanks for that Rob, I'm amazed. Just hope we make it now! :)
-
The WARRIOR Card Armour is really bad-ass. It would be damn cool to see a "spartan" deck of some sort, with a face for the tuck box....and add that warrior card armour...*BAM*
Thanks for that Rob, I'm amazed. Just hope we make it now! :)
Don't wanna jinx it, but I'm quite sure with that kind of deck, you probably make it with more than enough days to spare.
-
Well worth the wait !! Can't wait to have them in hand now. ;D
-
Oh boy, an awesome deck from Australia so I won't have to pay crazy postage, oh wait, lol, still love it and totally worth it!

Thank you Stircrazy76! Yes, I was being sarcastic. Also I do live in Australia. Your powers of observation are admirable. :)

I have worked long and hard to hone those powers. ;) Now i just have to convince my wife of it.

Your wife is a lucky woman to have a man who can translate the confusing Australian language with such ease. ;)

I am fluent in australianese.... Mate. ;D
Sorry, this got way off topic but I couldn't resist. Couldn't hold back my natural urge to be a smart a$$.

PurpleIce - thanks for the vote of ultra confidence, I'm with you!! :)
Rose- the ol ozzy postage trick ey? a classic Kickstarter gag haha
Cheers JP for the back up, ready to help! :)
We just broke $30,000, less than 48 hours! There's some seriously awesome people around here. What a couple of days this has been, so humbling. I don't even think I've precessed it all yet!

I have - and did have - no doubts that you'd hit your goal. It's a great design.

You're welcome. It's not undeserved - you made significant improvements to the original design. This is a deck I could plop down on a poker table with my friends, easily.

so blue or green.... or BOTH?
-

Both, naturally... Who plays poker with just one deck? :))
-
so blue or green.... or BOTH?
Get Both!
Its a great two color combination set. Although, the emerald is what pushed me over the edge.

Thanks a lot Don, I made those changes just for you ;)
Guys I can't believe we're just a few hours away from the end!
What a ride, but it's not over yet. The throbbing veins in my neck are telling me so :).
I hope we can smash through the 70K mark and finish in a blaze of glory! lol
Do you think we can do it?

Been a great campaign so far. There's usually a push at the end especially when the hours turn to minutes, so it's certainly possible. :D
-
A great campaign? Thanks so much Fes!
You never really get to know what people think of the campaign, and how you ran it, it's just usually feedback on the decks etc themselves.
So hearing that makes such a difference. Thanks man!
I imagine there may be a few last minute backers hiding in the grass, playing it dangerously :) I guess we'll see soon!

Hi
I know this campaign just ended. This is only my second backed project, so I apologize if I seem impatient. Anyone know when we can expect the survey? From what I've read, If we don't specify how many of each color decks we want by default we will get all Blue. lol

I can't speak with 100% certainty, but I'd imagine that Lee will wait a bit to ensure that all the funds are collected first. Sometimes payments error out for whatever reason; I believe Amazon/Kickstarter tries for 1-2 week before they officially stop trying and rule it as "unpaid". Since Lee has stated he'd be using BackerKit again, he'd probably send out a survey when he's finished setting up and syncing BackerKit and Kickstarter together. Then a survey will be sent out to collect our address and after an invite to BackerKit will be sent where we can clarify exactly what we want as add-on items and be able to add on more items and pay for it via Credit Card. All this may sound complex, but BackerKit is really really easy to us and it allows up to the last minute update on address, which Kickstarter doesn't without direct contact with the creator of a project personally.

Yea, I wouldn't I expect the BackerKit for at least another week and a half to two and a half weeks. If Lee does it sooner cool. I've received BackerKit's as early as two days(This just happened last night for another campaign, pretty shocking)after the closing of the funding campaign to as late as a month and a half later. I don't think you'll miss the email, I can't remember one being sent to my spam folder like fundafull emails do. Pretty sure Lee will give us a heads up when the BackerKit is launched too.
On a side note Brendon, I believe KS made a change and people are now able to update their mailing information through the survey system in KS. It should now go straight into the backer report, no more contact the creator nonsense like before.
