Get some god damn rest Omar. I'll talk to my accountant and then might be in for a Monarch plus Dynastinæ.

Wait a minute. For the red, blue, black and white tucks, the card backs are displayed as the front of the tuck and the Successor picture is displayed as the back of the deck (with the tuck flap showing?) Unless the deck is meant to be opened from the front similar how David Blaine's current Gatorback decks are?

On all the decks the “front” is considered the part with the thumb groove. The “backs” show the card backs. This is a Kevin proclivity — he’s done that on a few of his releases.Bikefanatic wrote: ↑Mon May 16, 2022 12:24 pm Wait a minute.

You might have mentioned it before but do the decks come stacked?
Re: The Successor by TGW/Kevin Cantrell

No. These are particular aren’t planned to come in any stack order. However if there’s demand for it it’s just a question of reordering then prior to sending the mechanical files out to Cartamundi. I just thought of all of my releases this is the least magic friendly.Harvonsgard wrote: ↑Mon May 16, 2022 12:38 pm You might have mentioned it before but do the decks come stacked?

Quite the opposite, I like classic NDO.
Re: The Successor by TGW/Kevin Cantrell

I also like NDO - as it keeps me in practice - I learned the shuffling needed to put them in mnem order and keep every one of my opened decks that way (100+)

Ok it makes sense. I'm not a big fan because it seems like opening the deck backwards but I'll still support.TheGentlemanWake wrote: ↑Mon May 16, 2022 12:32 pmOn all the decks the “front” is considered the part with the thumb groove.

If the mini deck stretch goal is reached, which design and colors will it be?

Naw, just disappointed because I don't like gilded decks. But hey, I'm fully cognizant that it's impossible to please everyone and I'm fine with this not being for me. Omar, fulfill YOUR vision, not anyone else's.

Unfortunately not planned. I can say that we will be using Cartamundi's french facility which produces the BEST handling gilded decks I've ever handled.PiazzaDelivery wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 11:53 am Will there be dynastinaes and monarchs that are NOT gilded?

Mini feels gimmicky and in general overdone at this point. Takes away from the regal feel of the other decks and most importantly, it doesn't fit within the sarcophagus which makes it weird for me but 
... if the demand is there.

the only deck i really want is the white one but $95 is quite a stretch for it. 95 because you have to buy another deck to add it on. with all of the controversy of the box and gated decks and now the tucks are backwards, i have lost the last bit of motivation i have for this campaign. i love you TGW but this just might go in the file with the hundreds of other campaigns and decks i have not bought in the last 4 years. i think all the issues added up just make this not the campaign for me even though the decks and items are beautiful. at this point it is as much about the principle of not supporting these practices as it is about the other issues. shame as the parlour was my first and only ever brick purchase due to the great value, and the hype i must admit. the tempest i only purchased 4 decks because of the gated decks. i have no doubt this campaign will be a smash hit, your biggest yet, with or without my pledge.

My one, valid, counterargument is that the heirs to the throne are often tiny children--and should be represented in the lineage!Harvonsgard wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 2:25 pm Mini feels gimmicky and in general overdone at this point.

Of course subjective af but yah, cute is not what I want to connect to regal. As mentioned, you do you. I'm fine with other liking and getting the mini. It's not forced on me so I'm cool.
Re: The Successor by TGW/Kevin Cantrell

Yes, the idea would be to take the Anointed joker and replace the coronation scene on the standard tuck with this artwork.

BUT ITS a very lofty stretch goal. It will be a good problem to have. Re: The Successor by TGW/Kevin Cantrell
Posted: Tue May 17, 2022 3:25 pm
By the way, Kevin and I both agree that the Imperial Black is not up to snuff. We are planning some improvements to the tuck box and the cards that I believe will bring it in line with the rest of the offering.
Re: The Successor by TGW/Kevin Cantrell

Ey! Don't make me to want the black one as well, haha. I'm good that it indeed feels closer to the standard ones than to the more blinged out ones.

Since it's the only non-gilded edition with cold foil faces, this is the edition I most want!TheGentlemanWake wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 3:25 pm By the way, Kevin and I both agree that the Imperial Black is not up to snuff.

Don't worry it will only be improved not changed radically. It will remain ungilded and keep the cold foil. We are looking at primarily increasing the amount of contrasting black tone on the back (to play off the gold foil better) and adjusting the tuck box foils (more towards a gold/black monochromatic look) and talking about the addition of a custom sleeve as a stretch goal. The price point will also remain unchanged.PrincessTrouble wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 4:18 pmSince it's the only non-gilded edition with cold foil faces, this is the edition I most want!TheGentlemanWake wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 3:25 pm By the way, Kevin and I both agree that the Imperial Black is not up to snuff.
