Hello Fellow Card Nerds

Unread post by elementalcards »

Hey Everyone,

I wanted to introduce myself to this forum community which I only recently found out about (unfortunately).

I first got into card collecting and magic about 10 years ago — I was really into it for about two years, then gave it up. I only recently got back into it about a year and a half ago. I can't believe how much I missed out on during that time!

I feel as though the card community really exploded since then with so many different avenues to explore — not to mention the huge amount of playing card design and variation.

Seeing all of this really inspired me to design my own deck of playing cards about a year ago. I have a background in print graphic design, and worked in the industry for 4 years before deciding to go back to school to become a science teacher. I have been teaching science to middle schoolers for the past 5 years now.

It was my love of cards, science, and, my graphic design background that led me to design the the Hydrogen Deck currently on kickstarter — which I'm sure many of you have already seen. I won't link it here, as I plan on creating a new post in the appropriate area.

So yeah, that's my story. I look forward to getting to know some of you.

First of all, welcome, great to have you here.

Sorry to burst your bubble, though. But your deck found its way faster than you. There is already a thread in the new/custom section :lol:
As soon as something is on kickstarter, it is here aswell, in a lot of cases even earlier! ;)
You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.

No worries, it hasn't been burst. I saw the thread earlier — I assume it'll be better to just reply to that tread rather than starting a new thread.

You will come to learn that Amy's puns are pretty Tungsten cheek around here. Never a Bohrium moment with her. I'll see myself out.
