Funding Unsuccessful!

That wasn't fun.  But I appreciate the input you folks gave to the deck.  We'll post here if we decide to relaunch.

Ain't easy pitching a zombie deck 'round these parts!

Yes, I've seen some nice ones that Jackson did for the Federal 52 campaigns.  I've just never purchased one, and didn't know if it was for collection or resale (or tons of bicycle spokes).

Bricks added, $120:

Question for the community---how important is it for card collectors to have bricks in fancy "brick box", as opposed to just getting 12 decks at a better price?

Consider making "Jackie O." as "Jackie Kennedy" instead - she didn't become an Onassis until some time after her husband's assassination.

Strangely, I don't think any of us even considered that point.  Of course, she was Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis when she died.  I'm not sure of the protocol when it comes to naming zombies, but I'm tending to agree with you.

Consider in the indices using smaller pips and bolder letters/number.  Value is usually the first-most important of the two in card games - a standard index shows a pip that's half the size of the value.

Good design note.  I'll relay it to the design guys.

I really have to ask - why zombies?  It's rapidly become the most tired theme for a custom deck of playing cards.  At present, just under the Bicycle brand, USPC offers in their current product line two decks directly themed on zombies and four that are indirectly so themed.  That right there should be a sign that's it's overdone and not simply becoming overdone - it's ALL the way there.  I won't even bother with the nigh-countless KS decks that are zombie-themed.

I guess you won't be supporting our CTHULHU PRESIDENTS and STEAMPUNK PRESIDENTS decks, then.

 :)

But yes---zombies are WAY played out.  I agree.  However, I suspect the artist may have had more to say than just, "BRAINSS!!!"  I gave my thoughts on the UC forum, but they are just my thoughts.  They are no more valid than any others when it comes to interpreting art.

Hello to the PCF community, btw!  I'm involved with the UNDEAD PRESIDENTS campaign, and thought this would be a good thread to get some feedback for our Kickstarter.  Thanks to badpete69 for starting the thread.

Here's my KS profile:
https://www.kickstarter.com/profile/1374056043

As you can see, I have a bit of a KS addiction.

I don't want to do any gratuitous bumping.  I've marked the thread so that I can respond to any questions, comments, or recommendations.  I'll also post some of the art and update information as the campaign progresses.

Aside from the back design being a watered down Fed 52 / Rebels copycat, I really dig this. The illustration is killer and its a fun deck for sure.

I wonder if this was supposed to launch on President's Day.

A President's Day launch was the original intent, yes.  This is our first Kickstarter, so we weren't certain how long it would take KS to review and approve the campaign.  Turns out, it was a little longer than expected.
