We're very excited to launch the Medusa deck on Friday! The support in the Design and Development section has been invaluable. Please check it out when it goes live. Even if you don't decide to back it please tell your friends and Like us on Facebook, Twitter us, or mention it at your next Poker game! The success really depends on fans of the deck getting the word out.

I'm looking forward to seeing the artwork for the project - it should be pretty sweet. Though I still think that typeface for the indices should be something simpler to read quickly! :))

For those of you who missed it (because Kai didn't include it!), here's the KS page:

EDIT: he's got some serious fannage, 'cause he's already at 17% and it's been maybe half-a-day so far! Now THAT'S a running start out of the gate!

Post by: uusikissa1 on September 29, 2012, 08:43:32 AM: I do like the artwork for this deck but I would agree on the indices - could be a bit more legible. I think that tends to be a tough decision for designers when working on a 100% custom deck, hard to force yourself not to redesign them somehow. I suppose it depends on how playable you want the deck to be.

My hands are a little worn out from all the typing of responses and thanks to our backers. I didn't realize I'd get an email every time someone backed the project, it sure makes it exciting every time I check my email through my phone or computer.

Post by: Cipher Kai on October 09, 2012, 01:17:51 PM: We are two-thirds the way there and only one-third the way in! It's a little early for stretch goals I know but in celebration we are adding free art prints for every backer who pledges for two or more decks! If you've pledged you can help decide what the print will be.

Post by: Cipher Kai on October 26, 2012, 02:22:25 PM: The deck is funded and we made our first stretch goal, all 4 custom aces. Less than $2,000 more to go for Bee Casino stock and two days left!
