The Discourse New Deck Report
By Rob Wright
Report data compiled 12/15/2013


I have asked Don to find someone to take over the NDR.
Unfortunately, I do not have enough time to properly keep this updated. I may also have to take a short hiatus from the forum due to a personal issue.

I want to thank Don for allowing me to play with this for a few months. It's been a pleasure.

For the next person that takes this over, I say good luck. I'll be happy to help if you have a question.

To everybody else. I hope you have enjoyed my updates. I started with a solid foundation from Don, and tried to make it even better.

Thank you to all.

Hello everyone,
I hope you all had a great thanksgiving, I know I did. I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm very sorry for the delay on the cards. Mpc had a few issues with some of the graphics so I had to do a few minor tweaks for them. I'm waiting on the final ok from them. They have been good with keeping up communication so I know everything will be done very soon. I will post another update as soon as I hear something from them. Thank you all again for being so patient and understanding with all of this. Happy holidays.

This is my first go at this sort of thing, and the delivery date of September was a bit... heroic.
I should have the cards from USPCC in the next week or so, and it should only be a couple

Seelie Update
Hey guys, I know there's not been a lot of updates on this project, and I'm sorry about that. I've been really, really busy lately. However, a good chunk of what's keeping me busy has been work on Seelie.

Right now, I'm working as many hours as I can, but also taking the occasional moment to spend time with my two sons and wife. My parents have temporarily moved in with me to help with the duties that crop up with a newborn, as well as sometimes learning to play video games to keep my older son entertained when I disappear into the office to figure out how many envelopes I need to buy and how the Scallywags budget is doing (first answer: ~900, second answer: fine, we'll have everything in our warehouse shortly).

Also, some people have noticed that I do sometimes log into Kickstarter, but don't post an update. This is because a lot of times I'm just tallying up order numbers, or answering messages, or sometimes just glancing at another person's project. And yes, I am currently finishing up two other projects. I wanted to make sure everyone knew that I've cancelled all public appearances until these three projects are 100% done. I'm also not starting any new projects until these are finished. So yes, we're motivated to get this all out the door.

Hi Joe,

Thanks for the feedback! And no worries - you aren't being negative. These are really good points/questions.

To get to them, we are intending to print poker-sized cards. And you are totally right about the costs. Sorry for any confusion. We chose 6K as our goal because that's the amount we need to launch the project, in addition to the money we can contribute out of pocket. We really want to produce these decks, so we chose the lowest amount possible. We attend Highland Games and Trade Shows and believe we can recoup our costs there. Obviously, we'd love to smash through the goal and have all expenses covered here (so please tell your friends about the project :)

Thanks for your support!"

We are all here on this forum for may different reasons. We have members from all over the world. I think it is safe to say that we all have 1 thing in common. We all love playing cards.
Cards have been around for centuries, and most likely were taken by soldiers into war ever since. You can got to a dollar store, buy a cheap deck, and have hours-years of entertainment. I don't know this to be true, but I imagine there are more households around the world that have a deck of cards than computers, cellphones, landline phones. As a child- what was the first card game you learned- 52card pickup. That's a great game when you're 5. How about war or slapjack.

So why do I love "Playing Cards".
We always had a deck of cards in my home growing up. I use to watch my Father play solitaire. I would just sit there and watch. It's how I learned to play. we played so many games like Rummy, Spades, Crazy 8's(the original UNO). My parents played cards with their friends just about every weekend that I can remember. I pay a crap load for a smart phone-what game do I play- Solitaire. As an adult, I've played a lot of poker, and now play in a regular game with my kids. I say kids, but they are all adults now. As much time as I have spent on this stupid computer. I've probably spent just as much time with a deck of cards in my hand.

So my question to the forum . Why are you here? What do you love about cards? What got you hooked?

I may be mistaken, but I thought this deck had been tried on KS before. I couldn't find it. This is the same company that produced the Emotions deck that had failed on KS.
