There has to be some old school pinup ladies deck that would go over well.

Googling "pin up deck" gives you some... varied results, so search careful ;)

Also, a quick question to Don and Alex, since I have now seen your names on pretty much every post ;)

This is my first deck, and yeah it was more of an art project than deck design, but I am now 100% enthralled at the idea of designing decks. I would like to get some specific advice from you guys, maybe off the forums, as it seems you have all the lingo and tricks down to a science.

Thanks

We just hit our stretch goal for the project, so EVERY card will have full color battle-posed Badass artwork. This is more of a work of art than your standard deck I think, so hopefully the Skulls and Grenades can be forgiven ;)

I hope this doesn't come off as pandering, because honestly a good 50% of our readership at Badassoftheweek.com is active and ex-military. So based on that alone, I can saw with some certainty that we have a deck made with the soldier spirit in mind currently on Kickstarter. I won't say more about it.

Introduced myself a little bit on the forum, but yes, I am one of the creators of the deck. Specifically the designer of the horrible back art ;)

I realize the deck is not everyone's cup o' tea, but we just wanted to make something that would speak to Geeks, Troops, Nerds and Bikers. It's a difficult demographic to please, but my partner has been doing it for years now at www.badassoftheweek.com with his historical accounts of Badasses. Incidentally, I draw the comic Badass Con Carne on the same web site in case anyone wants to mock me.

Hello all, my name is Manny Vega and I'm new to the whole playing card scene. I thought I would just do some research into playing card design and such to launch our Badass Kickstarter campaign, but I fear I have gone too deep. So many sweet cards out there all for a decent price, now I'm just looking around for the next cool set. Damn you all  >:(

No self respecting Badass would allow a heart to be placed next to their name. It made them feel like a Valentines day card, so they insisted we change it to something that suited them (see what I did there ;) From there it kind of snowballed into Skulls and ninja stars. We figured the deck was already unconventional and we wanted to go for the stylized feel of a deck of 52 hardcore badasses throwing down skulls and grenades.

Besides, you have to admit that Spades & Grenades is one hell of a memorable title.

Thanks for the promo Allison, if there is anything I can do to help spread the word, just let me know.
