Hey guys, in case you're interested, I just launched the Outlaw playing Cards on Kickstarter.
My first deck in a few years, I'm super excited. Hope you like it.

It's funding now until Feb 16, 2018: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kingsandcrooks/outlaw-playing-cards

Thank you! And thanks to PricessTrouble for all the hard work in sharing new deck updates so far, awesome job!

@Sher143 Absolutely! As you're signed up, you'll be in the loop on everything that's happening, no worries. When it's all ready to go, you'll be first to know.

@Sparkz Thanks so much for the incredible comments, I appreciate that a lot. Yep, in time, they will find their way to you

It must be too realistic looking haha

Everything went fantastic with the printing, like you said, the registration is superb. USPC did a great job.

Thank you for the amazing compliment MrMollusk! Truly appreciated.

Hey Don!

I turned all of the featured blogs into links as you mentioned. Instead of using the logos I just created clickable links.

Thanks a lot for the tip!

Cheers Don, just 45 hours to go! The pressure is on!

Best wishes,
Lee

@agera94
That's fantastic, so glad to hear you got on board!

@verloren
Thanks so much, I appreciate your encouragement, especially during these last few days!

As Don suggested, I've been trying to spread the word to places outside of the strictly magic and card cultures, fingers crossed it's not too late!
Some of the big blogs have huge audiences that might get interested but have yet to get back to me...I hope it all doesn't kick in when the times is up, although I have a sneaking suspicion.

Scott!!

What a star. Thank you so much for submitting it to them...thats a huge help!

I too have submitted it to Uncrate...hopefully they'll see your request too and HAVE to feature it haha.

Amazing. Thanks for going through the effort of doing that Scott, it's so nice of you to help me out. I appreciate it no end.

Hey Randy thanks a lot for the comment! Great work on the Ornate decks..and thanks so much for backing it! Truly appreciated my man.

Cheers too Don, for the back up explanation I love your love of the details!

Randy, about making the face cards edge details all black at the edges. When a card is reversed, then there would be a red edge among all of the blacks, making it obvious something is different. I hear you tho...

With regards to the courts too...I'm trying to get a moment to address that. Kickstarter is a full time job, 24/7!

If any of you guys who see it fit to help share this project with more magicians and card men across the world by any means, that would be incredible and something that would truly help me a great deal!

To get personal with you all for a second, it might have been a silly idea, but after seeing Tylers Pedale Design deck, and Fed 52, (great decks), both non-magic related, I thought that playing card guys and magicians who may have liked my previous work would really be happy to jump on Empire and help it be somewhat of a rival to those 2 decks. I don't have a huge network of people to call on, I've been very much behind the scenes at Ellusionist. I haven't wanted to expose myself as much over the years to avoid being found online easily (lets just say I don't know my father, nor want to). I guess I should have put myself out there a lot more.

It's been a very long time coming, and with the hiccups of a lot of US backers unwilling to enter card details to back me, I feel as though so because of that it will really hurt the growth of the project.

I'm doing my damnest to help this be a real start for me producing more decks in the future, without having to keep going back to Kickstarter, like a lot of guys have been doing.  Who knows what the future holds, but I'm doing my very best to make sure it's something to remember. If you guys can help to share it too, that would be amazing...Thank you.

Hey Don and everybody, thanks so much  for all of your flattering comments and also raising a few important issues.

Firstly, the banners on the courts. You make a very good point in terms of being able to see a reversed card. I addressed it to a certain degree on the sides, but I'm going to take a closer look at those courts and may consider correcting that to make it more usable for magicians. Thanks for pointing it out Mr Mollusk!

I definitely want it to be absolutely functional. Thanks for raising such a constructive point.

If all goes well with Empire and we finally make it happen (which would be incredible!) I will be trying to keep in mind price points and aim to make more affordable and competitively priced decks in the future, whilst trying not to sacrifice impact. With Empire being my very first in the line, and a limited edition, I wanted to hold nothing back with it and create a really memorable deck for people. Unless you print a massive run at USPCC, the cost per deck is extremely high to make a deck like this.

Don, Bill, Rob, Agera, Mr Mollusk...thank you so much for your compliments! I am so happy that true card men like yourselves and others on this thread, appreciate the work I've done. After all, I created it for us, magicians, cardists and connoisseurs, so I appreciate your experienced feedback.

Best wishes!
