Title: Devastation Playing Cards
Post by: Jody Eklund on September 01, 2015, 01:02:11 AM
Hey everyone, I noticed there wasn't a post here about my next project launching tomorrow on Kickstarter called Devastation. It is the 2nd edition to the Inventors series I started last March. The first one was called Innovation. I will be launching at 10am MDT/12pm EDT. Hope you all like what you see and that you will be there to support me in creating another great story.

Looking forward to see the rest of cards...cause this here looks awesome.
With Golden Spike and a locomotive on tuck and Innovation and oldtimer (car)...I expected to see Wright brother's aircraft here  ;)

Graphic work Jody does is great, it has that old, classic feel..., drawing style to it.
These look modern, I like the back design. (Limited) Tuck was probably done in black ink first and then you played with colors and went with red..., right? Right,...that's how it's done. Doesn't matter, looks great.

With the inventors series I would've thought this one would be called Creation, Imagination or Rennovation,..not, hmm, Devastation, such a powerful word. Though, looking at the Ace of Spades there, I kinda have a feeling what...it is about (!) (Man's best at Man's worst, I get it...)

I have no doubt this one will be a success.

Love these, and Jody has yet to make anything but a spectacular deck.

I'm hoping I have the budget for these - they're really, REALLY nice.

I was an hour late to the dance but managed to grab a nice pledge spot. The card backs, on both decks, look great and I particularly like the Jokers here. The LE AoS may see me finding more pledge power.

Jody - any chance of a reward with the Innovation deck in it?  I missed out.

I'm not sure about selling Innovation with Devastation yet. I have not done that before. I will have to figure out the details and see if I can do it. Otherwise, no worries Don, you should be able to purchase some on my website: http://blackinkplayingcards.com sometime in October. I will let everyone know if I decide to put Innovation onto the add-on list.

Thanks for the suggestion!

It seemed logical, since they're part of a set.

I agree, since that's a series of decks,...it's only logical to offer a reward with Innovation decks too. For those who missed out on previous campaign.

Courts are nice, consistent style as on previous designs. Pips also nice, only slightly changed from Innovation. Not too thrilled about ornaments in corners but liking the dirty background.
It's also gonna be a deck one can learn from, not sure if I knew..that guy was the inventor of the tank (not his whole story for sure, the pic made me read the article on Wikipidea  :))

Thanks Don for the great idea, I have posted the update. You can now add-on the Innovation decks onto the Devastation pledge. My concern was more for the numbers and I had not figured that out previously.
