We published the link for Venexiana Dark specifically in the latest MailChimp message that went out. The share button on the project page looks like it is sharing the main page, but that's the way Facebook works, it shortens the display of the URL / link to only show that first part of the link. When you click on what looks like it takes you to the main page, it will send you to Venexiana Dark. I agree - it looks confusing, but that's Faceplant for you. Try it. It makes it look wrong, which is confusing, but it actually does what you want, not what it (appears to) show.

Got the latest email from ya a bit ago promoting the Good & Evil decks. Now please, no offense intended, but you NEED a proof reader to go over these before they're sent out. Unless the goal is to give every grammar nazi that reads them an aneurysm.
This week, while we will focus on each of the four decks, next - also currently funding on CardLauncher, with Giovanni's Good Deck to go with his Evil Deck - winner of the DDC, following on his wild success with "Evil Deck" in the Deck Design Contest sponsored by Expert Playing Card Co of Manhattan. Come join one with your Evil Deck for a remarkably great pair of decks from Expert! Their absolute latest UV-treated heavy stock tuck and other

I have to agree with this. Its not even about the anal grammar Nazis out there, its about polish and professionalism. After the multiple debacles associated with the launches of CL, you need to squeeze every ounce of competence and professionalism you can to offset the amateur hour that was on display during the abortive launches. All these rambling run-on sentences and grammar errors do nothing to rehabilitate the legitimacy and professional image you want for CL.

I took a look, at - this and didn't see, anything wrong with the grammar or the formatting - but that could just be, me.

However the posts about polish and professionalism are spot on.

Yep, I'm dyslexic and can't spell. If it wasn't for spell check you would think I was an idiot; However, you might think that already.

No, I agree. I need to send it out as a test to a half dozen people who can comment for 24 hours before I launch it. I am a slave to spell correct and automatically "fixed" things that aren't necessarily fixed. It's the "their" vice "they're", see that. First sentence is rather awkwardly worded, agreed. No rush, I would rather get it right...
