I'm curious, why is the sword in front of her face?

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 I'm obviously kidding- they all look GREAT!

It could be interesting to see white hair.

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):

I like collector's suggestion ! Giovanni you should play around with the idea !

@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

Hey guys, fast a question. Some of you could be interested or collect "open" tuck boxes?

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

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 have the Zenith and Fed 52. The Zenith was $8 and the Fed 52 was free.

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.

Hi there!

I decided to follow your advice and made the uncut boxes cheaper as possible: 25$ for all three.

here is the render
Also, I revealed a sneak peek of the 39k Giveaway....

God with lighting. Thor, maybe? Mjölnir (Thor's hammer) off the clip, maybe? Just a guess.

Maybe, maybe

I'm diggin' the screen savers, especially the Suprema theme. Can't wait to see it's actual tuck!

It can be Zeus too, with his characteristic lightning and Hera by his side. Or his daughter Athenea...

Yes he was inspired by Zeus
Free for anyone have at least 3 Omnia Decks (any kind)

Ok guys, just 36hrs left!

Hope you had fun!

Omnia? That's released? I had not noticed... I wonder if any good pledge levels are left

The only "good" pledge levels left are 4 early bricks

I had great advice on this campaign :p

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)

Omnia pecunia is ready!

Hey guys, Omnia hard proofs are here!
You can see some other pics on this Kickstarter update > https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/th ... ts/1345296" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

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!

Hello guys, a quick update: the "Omnia ship" will leave Taipei 10.27.
