I'm conflicted. I don't like NPCC, but I really love this art. I am having the same issues with Dominus (Dominus Thread (http://www.playingcardforum.com/index.php?topic=9467.new#new)), another NPCC KS deck but great artwork. I wish I could take their designs and start KS projects with a different printer.

I understand that conflict. Oftentimes the art gives me pause but the NPCC decks I have now remind me they're not really meant for my use. Even so occasionally I do go in on a deck that I'm never going to use just for the art. It's not a bad thing to have a few decks in the "Jus fer lookin at" category.

Fellows, there's a solution to this. Contact the project creator, explain your dissatisfaction with NPCC decks that you own and convince them that going with another printer would be better. I can't imagine they're undercutting MPC all that deeply on price, and if the deck does well, Expert and Legends would certainly be options. Even USPC isn't beyond reach these days, with their lower minimums.
Stand firm and don't pay premium prices for inferior products. Do it now and you'll be doing it forever.

Since the project creator is Roman Kotiv from NoirArts, I don't think he'll be swayed away from printing with NPCC. ;-)

I dunno, I would never use the services of the company I work for...

NPCC is Roman Kotivs factory. He is owner, printer and projects creator. So if anyone want to start with him KS campaign, will be printed only with NPCC.

I was being facetious. But I backed regardless for the artwork.
