There is something about the overly ornate RS tucks on their KS projects that just doesn't appeal to me, and yet I'm a tuckist! Weird.

it's not weird at all, although these are good tucks, having 40+ variances of the same same good tuck would make most people bored.

For me it is the obvious recipe cooking.
They do the same all over again, doesn't matter the theme. For example of I do a Babylon deck and have a blue tuck, instead of going with the overdone blue and silver, I would obviously take the colours from the Ishtar gate and make it blue and gold to show that I've put some effort into it instead of doing the tenth blue/silver and twentieth red/gold colour combii tuck.
RS and T11 do solid decks, I just don't have space for solid decks in my collection anymore.

I like the character design on these (more than I liked the Gods of Norse ones) but I'm not really feeling the one colour on everybody thing. I guess it's cheaper to print but it makes for a very drab overall look, imo.

I don't know if I'll back one of these, but I like that green tuck. I want to see the rest of the courts.

The Great Creator was essentially Sumerian, now we have Babylon. Is RS doing an ancient civ series?

Adding fantasy to the mix, but I think Atlantis also fits the scheme.wingedpotato wrote: ↑Wed Jun 08, 2022 9:16 am The Great Creator was essentially Sumerian, now we have Babylon. Is RS doing an ancient civ series?

Not to forget the Pharao themed deck, which they released not directly as RS. If you take Cardmafia into account than RS simply does everything that is en vogue.

Nice, but I think it's more likely to be taken from here first before going there for the details:

They added yet more versions of the decks. My response ... I canceled my pledge. I am tired of these types of campaigns. Easier for me to just cancel my pledge than try to figure it all out.

I'd probably back for that green gilded one if I could back it on its own.
