Was wondering if you would be happy to post a preview link here again before the relaunch to let people here help you check with any possible funding loopholes? :)

I would suggest doing addon of decks from your previous projects. There'll always be backers who are new to Agitcom decks and this would be a great chance for them to get your previous decks while saving on shipping. Not sure if it's possible due to logistics, but it's a good way to help Amazons reach the funding goal and/or stretch goals.

Personally, your Golden Age and Recuerdo decks are amongst the highlights of my collection.

Ahhh, yes. El Recuerdo <3. And if you like the Amazons you're bound to like the Military Pin Ups. That deck came out so good.

And the main thing - as many of you commented on the “glance” look of the face cards, today I started working on the “rough” edition of Amazons. I’m really greatful for your ideas and comments!
That sounds awesome! I always appreciate designers who interact and consider feedback. Looking forward to the re-launch.

First look on changed Amazons. It will be a separate deck available together with the classic variant.

Looks good. I am assuming the card backs and tuck will be different color schemes at least? I am not sure how many people are like me, but if the backs and tuck are the same I will likely only choose one to buy.

Hope there will be a twin set for these; last time when the campaign was on, it was a pity that the Early Bird was just for the single deck!

I don't think it's a good idea to make your previous decks (Military Pin-Up, Golden Age, El Recuerdo) as individual tiers, because you could get flagged and canceled by Kickstarter for violating the regulations not to sell existing products that are already selling on the market.

The better way of doing it is to make them into add-ons.

(Comment also posted to the preview page)

Also, thanks for changing the faces of the number cards:

I think this relaunch will do well. I like how backers get all the bells and whistles for the Ephebes deck right out of the gate. The Ephoros edition has some nice changes and that tuck box is super-cool. Good luck with this campaign and thanks for sharing the updates!

EDIT: That Queen of Spades is totally Jennifer Connelly. I dig it.

That second edition looks great. Such a nice addition. Those ladies have some pretty extreme battle damage. I am happy there are 2 decks. I'll be in for both.

I went in on the EB for 2 hoping the second edition funds! Best of luck, I'd really like to see both of these in my collection.

I was tempted to do this and if that deck gets released I will pledge for it. But seeing that the last attempt at this was no where close to funding I'm not sure it will get there. I'd be happy enough just to see this fund.

That sucks. Although, if it doesn't reach the stretch for the second deck I may drop to 1 deck instead of the 2.

New update posted. Close to the second deck and it looks like both tucks will be full featured.

I'm hoping this deck unlocks. I think I will pre-pledge in hopes of driving up sales. I'm just glad this funded at all!

So, I notice that the printer has switched back to NPCC. Has nobody else noticed this? Does nobody care? Just curious. I was all in if these were USPCC (and would likewise be if these were Cartamundi or EPCC/LPCC/HC.) But... very much back on the fence until I know that NPCC decks feel better now than they have in the past.

Edit: Whoops. Somehow confused this with another project. Please disregard!

I just double-checked this and it still says USPCC for me. It does say at the bottom that the Old Decks available as Add Ons were printed by NPCC.
