$29 is still a lot for international folks, since we don't have USD.

Same here. I'm in for a deck. I wanted more but the 'ol budget just didn't allow.

He did about $8500 in the first few hours they were available. Must be onto something, eh?

Re: GROTESK MACABRE - Now funding on Kickstarter
Maybe because they are $29 per deck?
That's why I didnt want one.

Re: GROTESK MACABRE - Now funding on Kickstarter
There were also six hundred and six available with a six deck limit. The cool thing is that there will be decks for everyone who wants to have one. They're certainly worth while in my opinion, if for nothing else than to check out Black Stock. When mine arrive I'll be slinging them around on the table with my pals, really looking forward to that. Black Mass have me very curious and more than a little excited. 

TL:DR It's completely up to you.

Re: GROTESK MACABRE - Now funding on Kickstarter
Just so I'll understand, the numbers and courts will be shiny/metallic more than usual? I'm also more curious than anything too.

Re: GROTESK MACABRE - Now funding on Kickstarter
I never expected them to go in a couple of hours. Actually I'm shocked that half of the decks disappeared in a few hours while I thought it would take 1-2 days.chach wrote:Mike Ratledge wrote:He did about $8500 in the first few hours they were available. Must be onto something, eh?

As always, I'm preparing something very cool regarding the Black mass. Stay tuned.

Re: GROTESK MACABRE - Now funding on Kickstarter
Now the people that only got 1 deck will need to get another. Glad I got 2 to start with.If the project hits the $29K mark, a "small" change will happen: The "BLACK MASS" edition will be divided and will be printed in two versions: GOLD and SILVER. Gold edition will have Gold and red metallic inks, while silver edition will have silver and red metallic inks. The total of the decks produced will still be 606 and each backer will be able to determine what combination s/he wants. You can have all gold, all silver or mixed. You will be asked in the survey about that. The tucks will both have black foil on black stock but there will also be a silver or gold metallic ink indication (maybe on the lid? - work in progress) to tell whether it's a silver or gold deck inside. With 8 days to go and the counter already @$28K, I think we can take it for granted... This way, at no extra cost, you my awesome old and new backers will be possessing something twice as rare.

----------> Check out the decks I have for sale! <----------

Lotrek - Carful your Club and Spade pip look to similar. If you made the badge under the suit look like a club too. Right now it looks like a spade. It might help when peeking in the hole. You have to know what your hole cards are in an instant.

@ Sprouts (Pip Police):
You have a point there. I'll try to make them stand out more although the idea is the pips to be based on the same general scheme.
Thanks!

Re: GROTESK MACABRE - Now funding on Kickstarter
Since BM will be in two different colors, will they all still be numbered together up to 606 or each color will be numbered up to 303? Numbers never mattered to me.
