Thirdway Industries - I see your going with a shadow court border. You should do pretty well...

Hi guys,

I think we have an official date. I'm posting here first, so we may discuss a little if you prefer a different hour of the day (I can't please anyone, but I'll try).

At the moment, I am thinking to launch tuesday 2th of june, 7AM in NYC (and 13pm in Italy, my time). I hope it's good for everyone.

Omnia campaign will have a lot of early birds tiers, and some of them will be really valuable in my opinion. Some early birds does include "Omnia Suprema" deck.

Here is a pic of the Omnia Suprema with the new Queen of Diamonds and finally the male joker of Omnia Oscura - Destiny (I have 5 other Jokers, all designed from scratches)

Eastern Time should be fine with 7AM. The rest of USA might have a problem.

Might not be too shabby for the rest of the world either.

I'm willing to get up at 4am for decks that are worth it.. So i will be there no problem

He's got a point here. Forget about being 'fair' especially since as you said you can't please everybody. Where are most of your buyers located and would that match with where you want most of the EBs and initial interest to be? If you select 7AM Eastern that is 4am for West US and if a great number of buyers in US they instantly get missed. I would suggest going with 6AM Pacific (9AM Eastern) so only East Australia would be the most populated area after midnight. Of course anybody who is REALLY interested can always set an alarm, but use whatever data you have and what you want out of this to select the time. If that ends up being 7AM Eastern to make it easier on Asia Pacific people then so be it, but you will be leaving out a huge chunk of US/Canada (primary Kickstarter audience for most projects). You can also use the 2nd wave EB at a different day/time that some projects have done, or just make people keep refreshing all day and keep them guessing.

Fine with me. I should be at work and 6am is shift change.

12pm EST is usually a good launch time. It will be approx. 6-7pm in most European countries.

Like the way the "Joker" font is smaller. To many times, I see the "J" font is the same size as the Jack/Knave. Let's see your other Joker?

Eheh guys, I fee really guilty to make someone wake up in the dead of night to get my early birds.

I did a lot of early birds to be sure that everyone have the chance to get one the first day, regardless of which country they live in.
The really "limited" tiers (10 slots) will be the small ones (that does not include Omnia Suprema) and the most expensive ones, that I think have the most value (and the only chance to double or triple Omnia Suprema deck).

I'll reveal all the early birds here in the next days, so you can be prepared.

The lady needs a bit more time to be ready
She's shy without lipstick :p

I have always thought that the best way to make the early bird truly effective would be to set up your early bird tiers with no actual limit on the number of backers (to start) and state in the tier that after 12 hours, the EB tiers would be locked down (ie, the limit would be set to the number of backers at that tier). Obviously, the pricing of the EB tier should still be affordable to the project creator, but I think this approach could ramp up initial participation, and that might, in turn, carry through to more momentum down the line.

I don't know. What do y'all think?

I do not think that would work as the rare EB decks would become not rare. Let's assume there are 500 of the limited deck but in the first 12 hours 2000 people pledge then the deck numbers are all shot. If you are talking regular decks EB, then you might run the risk that it would not be beneficial for the seller and he would probably inflate his starting EB price to cover for that. I think in the end an EB pledge should be limited as that always represent what the creator is willing to let go at that price

Bottom line Allan.. get your lazy behind up at 4am and pledge for an EB hehehehehe. Plus you know you don't sleep anyway so i should not be a problem for you

Hi there!

First of all, I want to confirm the date - 2 of June, 7AM NYC Time, Omnia will be live. Save the date

Because this is an official, pompous announcement, I think my Suprema Queen of Hearts should be revealed for the occasion.
Some other informations (something alreay published, but I prefer repeat them) :

- There will be 3 versions of Omnia: Omnia Oscura (unlimited), Omnia Suprema (limited, only 500 decks) and Omnia Illumina

- Omnia Suprema will be included in rewards with 2 or more "unlimited" decks (Omnia Oscura or, if unlocked, Oscura + Illumina)

- There are rewards with 2 Omnia Suprema (however no more than 2 Suprema per Backer)

- All the decks are different: backs, tuck boxes and even faces. Jokers and aces are re-designed from scratches. Yes, all the courts are different.

- A lot of foil and metallic inks

- Queens are sexy :p

- There are A LOT of early birds and limited tiers, some very valuable and limited

A little update on Tuck Boxes (they have the name under "Omnia" now) I'm really excited, btw.

Awesome. We need more redhead queens.

Eoghann wrote:Awesome. We need more redhead queens.

She's the only redhead queen in Omnia :p
The Illumina QoH will be a lot different

You are really making a name for yourself and becoming a top designer! I'm liking this more and more!!! Looks like I'll be getting up a little early that day.

Also, updated the event calendar entry.

Thank you ecNate

I'm really happy you think this.

Here is a preview of Omnia Oscura Ace of Spades (the aces are different in each version, especially Suprema)
Wow, only a week and we're online. Can't wait.

Usually, the big embellished Spade is in the center of the card. It seems the modern trend is for all the Aces are big and embellished. I'm guessing his other aces are small and centered.

Ciao Giovanni

Many thanks for the deck... I cannot wait for the project to go live

The deck is coming very nicely together.
The queens are realy nice. Great work.

@pierre: Thank you! Glad the prototype arrived!

@sms69x - I'm happy you like it! I'm counting days for the campaign.

Hello guys!

I took a little vacation after the big launch

Now I'm back, ready to launch Omnia tomorrow. As promised, a little sneak peek of the rewards for my favourite forum of playing cards.
I'm posting this only here and on my newsletter

The "normal" decks (Omnia Oscura and Illumina) will have same price structure of Delirium. A single deck will costs $13 (domestic shipping included) and the price will decrease for multiple purchases (less than $10 per deck if you buy a brick).
The rewards will be automatically splitted if Illumina is unlocked. There are some early birds on x2 tier and brick.

Omina Suprema comes only in tiers who includes at least two regular decks:
- 2 "normal" decks +1 Omnia Suprema - 47$
- 4 "normal" decks + 2 Omnia Suprema - 94$
- 10 "normal" decks + 2 Omnia Suprema (Suprema Brick) - 144$

IMPORTANT - Those are the BASIC tiers. EVERY limited tier have an Early Bird counterpart, that is, of course, cheaper. For example, Omnia Suprema Brick is 130 instead of 144

Now, a little sneak peek of Omnia Illumina female Joker, Lady Fortuna. Wish me her, lol. See you tomorrow!

Giovanni
