Your box creations are beautiful! Love the Art Deco box! :drool: Thanks for sharing! :D I provided a guide for making a basic box. My secret (evil) plan is to entice you guys to try making your own. Then i'll suggest more complex boxes to make until you guys become addicted to box making as well. :...

Thanks. The inputs of the folks here really helped me in making changes on the design. And I learned some new stuff too along the way.

So... any reviews on LPCC's Emerald finish?

Loving that Hungarian folk deck. I see you've fallen for the spell of Meneghello tarot decks harhar their stuff are really nice - they generally choose quite interesting topics, and experiment a lot with dimensions, card stock, box type, etc. I highly recommend their La Corte dei Tarocchi. I heard t...

I bought mine off ebay for about $25. Don't see them come around often used. You can buy a set from his son for $65. He has them in all the colours - green, red, black, blue, or brown - and the instruction sheet is included. Here is the site. You have to scroll down close to the bottom of the page ...

And some more. Left to right, top to bottom: something vaguely Celtic in theme, inspired by magic and vampire subcultures and Victorian wrought iron gates, Art deco box, a box for an Arabian Nights-themed deck, a deck inspired by Varda Elentari, and another Toliken-inspired box depicting Laurelin.

Some more boxes: My attempt at a slipcase box. I can't seem to get the right dimensions for this design. I'm thinking this box's theme would be good for dark, Lovecraftian decks. FOSSILSTONE SLIPCASE.jpg One of my shabbier attempts at painting. Meant to look like a Greco-Roman pillar with a removabl...

That's pretty cool and I'm surprised how much detail and dimension you are able to include in them. The old world/vintage look I'm sure works really well with tarot decks too. I have a few decks that don't have tucks and have tried see through mylar, the new carot cases, etc. I wonder if a variatio...

AAAND they have replied. Any thoughts on LPCC's Emerald finish?

Wow those are really nice! Do you take commissions? Or offer tutorials? :lol: Thanks! It's a bit hard to accept commissions since - while I am willing to take them - our local postal service is one corrupt bunch and service sucks on the whole (courier is the alternative - which is pricey). I did tr...

One of my more specific hobbies is cardboard box-making. I can't seem to recall how it started, just that I was already making them in 9th grade. One of the other things I collect are Tarot cards - not all of them since I don't have the funds for that; just the interesting or beautiful ones. I sort ...

Are the DEW decks hard to come by and expensive? Because I'm really digging them.

I did some research and exploring in KS, and it seems like most of the LPCC-printed decks have fund goals of $10K at least. A bit high! But, we'll see. I've emailed LPCC and I'm waiting for their reply.

Also, does anyone here have their printing templates, especially their tuckbox's? Thanks.

I like it too. Sort of. I like the crackle texture, but everything else seems off - the non-realistic splatters, the disconnect between the title and the style, etc. I'd normally associate crackle with a rough, vintage/aged country theme - like old barns with flaking paint. The association between t...

Una buena idea! :D Some KS projects really have been hampered by delays on the side of the printers and fulfillment centers. Some creators have been (unfairly) placed in the receiving end of backers' ires - though in some cases, the lack of communication exacerbated things. In this regard, I think k...

OK, so here are my thoughts: 1. Tuckbox seals - though they are nice, they are not a must have...start without one and then you could add them as a stretch goal 2. Timing of launch - I don't think that starting a project would be a problem in regards to the holidays as you will not fulfil until nex...

A few more questions: 1) Are those sticker seals important? I mean, do you guys think more buyers would prefer tuckboxes with sticker than without? 2) In terms of timing, would it be better to launch the deck in KS early next year? The timing seems a bit tight if I attempt a launch late this month, ...

This looks really promising. I hope the artists pick it up again. Have some suggestions if they do go around to doing so...

FIRST IMAGE: As an ace, the details drown out the central Club form. Lose the intertwined detail beneath the indices - they distract too much. The small scroll with the text "Ace of Clubs" is problematic - you don't have to state the obvious ;) - plus text on the central images are problem...

I guess it depends on what the fancy business will be. Though they're generally nice on a deck, somehow I think golds or metallic would be at odds with the artistic style of this project. You might have to think up other embellishments that would go well with its style (maybe print inside the tuckbo...

So being relatively new to the world of custom playing cards, I checked out the four beasts deck. The art looks great. Part of me wanted to change the suit associations, though, since spades are north (and the black tortoise is also north), but I also understand that a dragon in the AoS has more imp...

I think you have a great idea but shouldn't deviate from red and black. They're part of the deck's appeal. Plus you've already made big changes on the cards, especially the number cards, that adding two more suit colors might make the cards look a bit confusing at first glance. Comparisons are inevi...

If it doesn't fund, and you decide to print on your own (I really hope this get printed) I don't know if you would consider another printer. They cards are too good never to see the light of the day. I don't know why more people don't look at MPC. I made my own cards, and they turned out pretty goo...

I am hoping this deck actually becomes reality too! :D All of the cards are done, with minor edits underway thanks to the very constructive critique of everyone who's commented. Then on to working on the... accoutrements of a KS campaign. :D (it doesn't help that me and my associate are in completel...

Sorry BlueToy, I was posting the additional information when you asked about the Obake Karuta. Yes, I have seen them before, but I don't actually have any. I love those cards and have also seen many of the same fantastical creatures in prints reproduced in books. Do you know if the cards have ever ...

The Tengudo deck looks really nicely packaged. The long-nosed mask is actually a depiction of a Tengu - a bird spirit/creature

Any of you guys have Obake Karuta ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karuta" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; )? They're kinda like the predecessors of Pokemon cards . They feature Japanese supernatural/mythological creatures.

Honestly, I think Planaren is the way to go. Yes, the others may be more mainstream, but that is also their downfall. In order for them to stand out, everything needs to be perfect , from the cardstock to the pip placement, to the font, to the tuck, to the etc. etc. PlanarenKarten will stand out on...

I like the idea of having a 666 clubs card. Good signature card idea. Maybe someone else into angels should do a 700 Clubs card too. Haha the design looks nice. The flames bother me a bit though since they seem too rigid - they kinda look like antlers. I dunno how that's gonna be fixed, though. Mayb...

Wow, what completely different styles! It is a little hard to comment on which deck would be better without knowing more about the decks, but I still have a strong preference towards the PlanarenKarten deck :ugdance: as it is very different from all the other decks out there and as you said, is a l...

Pop tarts and Rugrats! would be cool if the cards came in pop tarts-ish foil packs - think Marvel cards.
