Playing Card Plethora / Re: NEW DECK - DB White Lions: Black Label
« on: October 01, 2012, 10:47:25 AM »
It's somewhat stupid and suspicious that big companies like D&D or David Blaine aren't able to use the same low shipping quotes that of people from eBay or Kickstarter. Note that we're talking about the SAME shipping method, which is, in my case, USPS Priority Mail International.

You know that something is wrong when it's cheaper to buy from resellers on eBay than from a pre-sale on a official website. Even though resellers' product prices may be a little higher, their total price (products + shipping) is lower.

Playing Card Plethora / Re: KS Deck Coming Soon: Bohemia by Uusi

Bohemia seems to be even more fascinating than Blue Blood.

Please, tell me we'll see some Custom Brick Boxes for Bohemia!

Just wanted to let anyone who's interested know that we are going to have an "Early Bird" special  when our Kickstarter projects launches on Monday, October 1st. Hope to see you there!

Have you already decided at what time on Monday the project is going live?

$53...? Is that domestic?

That would be their shipping price on the box to Brazil.

By the way, I'm surprised it didn't sell out yet. Kickstarter much?

NEW Mom's Shoes Deck from Ellusionist  ::)

Anyway, those seem quite appealing to women. My shoeholic girlfriend would probably love them.

Introduce Yourself / Hai guise
« on: September 22, 2012, 01:14:11 AM »
You know how things usually go on the internet forums. I've been lurking around for way to long now, but not anymore. And it feels nice to finally take the time to register in a playing cards forum and actively participate.

Well, let me introduce myself, my name is Gustavo and I'm from Brazil. I've been collecting since late 2010 and I consider myself a newbie in terms of cardistry, although it's something that really interests me.

I see playing cards as small pieces of artwork. Having the opportunity to own some of them is rewarding to me because I believe beauty and awesomeness can make our lives better. Having a hobby like a collection is a way to express oneself and expose your identity and tastes to people around you.

I hope I can meet some of you guys and successfully engage into discussion.

Since I'm not a native English speaker, I'd appreciate possible corrections.

Thanks!

Well, I've got to say it: I'm really fond of this kind of drawing and I think it would make a sweet deck.

Unfortunately, as some folks noticed before me, bad timing for a KS launch. Not to mention the eccentric pricing method.

I know this is the final version of the deck but, since it would hardly be funded this time, I've got some constructive criticism on the deck:

IMHO, main problem is mirroring. The way court cards were drawn prevent them from being properly mirrored. When I say properly mirrored, I mean they lack continuity from one side to another (as shown on the attached image).

(Please, disregard any language mistakes I may have made. I'm from Brazil and my english isn't great.)
