First, a quick reminder - the NDR now updates on early Saturday, Monday and Wednesday (in UTC) instead of daily-or-close-to-it. As a result, instead of showing day-to-day trends in Kickstarter projects, I'll only show the week-to-week changes.
On KS...
Success: Bicycle Synthesis, closing at $67,108/$5,000.
Not-So-Much...: Galaxy Cards, 2nd Edition, closing at $2,872/$3,500.
Success Again: Bicycle Grid 2.0, closing at $46,092/$15,000.

Pirates of the Golden Age

Bicycle Amazing Adventures
Bicycle The White Rabbit
New deck that snuck right past me and is heading straight to the 2013 Releases:
The Spare Room x Fraggle Rock 30th Anniversary Playing Cards (check out
this and
this for more information.
Moving to the 2013 Releases after today's release at 17:00 UTC - 3 De'vo decks:
Magicians Must Die #1 Sketch Edition
Magicians Must Die #2
De'vo's Blades MMD Midnight Edition
It's timed to coincide with their live release at the Denver Comic Con taking place this weekend. That event is at 11:00 AM local time, in case you're around Denver somewhere with nothing to do... BTW: check out De'vo's new online store. It looks kinda...sanitized... It reminds of of the first impressions I had of Big Blind Media's new store online - that one is practically sterile it's so cookie-cutter.
