All three of these extra cards have a one-way effect. In one, the position of the sword changes, as you noted. In the other, the queen's mole and helmet disappears. In the other other, she goes from not having a sword at all to wielding the suicide sword (and a teardrop disappears, and the shading of her lips changes).

I like it. I like it a lot.

Funny, I would have thought she'd be more apt to cry while committing suicide :lol: I'm obviously kidding- they all look GREAT!

Hi guys! Sorry, just returned from my little trip :)

Consider the three extra cards as three reincarnations of the "Suicide Queen". Oscura Queen is malicious, and she hide behind her sword (she's feigning suicide?). Illumina Queen is a martyr, and she's ready to die for the cause. Scarlatta is the Goddess of the Suicide.

@Collector - I tried to make Scarlatta's hair white. The only problem was that the hair were too much bright and deflect attention from the face. :)

Also, we unlocked the brick box!

It will be free for everyone have a brick, and I'll allow everyone has a limited tier to pledge an amount to upgrade to brick (a very good offer, around 9$ per deck).

You are the king of this deck, my friend :)

But my little vandalism shouldn't upset you ;) Two concepts (and I am sure you can make the white lines thiner in your real digital pictures):

@collector - Thank you for the suggestion :)
I may change something on her, I know that white brings a lot of extra contrast. However, I also like to have a full red card (mainly because it's a pretty "extreme" choice).

Let's see :)

You mean an uncut tuck? Zenith and Lotrek have done those. I don't get them for myself, but I think they're pretty neat.

Yes, "uncut" seems an odd word, because actually is "cut" but not glued :D

Omnia will have tuckboxes foiled inside and outside. I was thinking to get some for me... but maybe it could be a nice add on.

Usually, what's the price range for those?

I like them. I think as with uncuts, they are a niche product and the price is highly correlated to how many you'll sell.

I got the Zenith ones, and will get more if they're priced reasonably.

I was thinking to allows people to add all the three uncut boxes (Illumina, oscura and suprema) for $30-$35 (no idea if it's a good pricing)
I'll print them extra, only for Kickstarter, just the ones I'll sell.

What do you think? It's resonable?

I definitely wouldn't pay more than $30 for them, and I wouldn't expect additional shipping either. Still not sure though, money is tight at the moment and the Zenith ones were cheaper.

Rational thinking says they should be cheaper than a deck. Perhaps Paul Carpenter could shed some light on the demand for them by letting us know how popular they were.

Yes, I agree, they should be cheaper than a deck, and no shipping.

You probably are right - 35 is just too much. I should stick with 30$ or maybe less. :)

Well, they are specialty items, very much like uncut sheets. Those sell for 3-5× what a finished deck sell for, and other than special handling - it's a deck halfway through the process.

$30 for all three including shipping seems reasonable to me, and they aren't as much of a PITA as uncut sheets shipping, but do require special handling (and a stiff sheet of cardboard, likely impossible to ship with decks.

Besides, you can't get anything Suprema any other way at this point except as an uncut sheet.

I purchased some expensive displays at Ikea yesterday, so as much as it pains me, I will need to drop my Early Suprema brick.

Anyone interested PM me and we can work out a time. I would prefer to swap with someone who has the Limited Edition Suprema set. (1 of each $47)

I am really happy with them, the only thing I'm going to change is the Omnia Oscura tuck box, because some details doesn't render well (some lines are too thin).

Let me know what do you think!
