Cheers, no worries. I just thought it was funny. I gotcha.
Anyway, I need some opinions. It's getting down to the wire, but someone recommended a change that makes sense. They said that the pips were overpowering the more subtle line art.
How do you guys feel about these pips?
All the pip cards would have the top left / bottom right card lined like that.

Great question, Don. I crafted these cards from the factions in Game of Thrones / A Song of Ice and Fire. The Spades represent the Starks, and their House Sigil is the Dire Wolf. The Starks have a very interesting relationship with the Greyjoys. Their House sigil is the Kraken (squid). To have that looming over the Starks, just seemed to fit.
Plus, the shape of the squid made for a perfect Spade, no? I really just got lucky there, methinks.
Also... as far as woodland creatures go. The dragons don't throw you off? lol

Just about 60% funded. No news is good news on the legal front, methinks. Any interest in the 1 of a kind prints?? eh, eh?

Thanks, Collector! I guess I could have gone more line art-ish with the Ravens, but I really wanted to capture the black with them.
As for the low goal - It's about $1500 short of full funding. I'm relying on the trend of these playing cards pledges snowballing a bit after the goal is reached. On the off chance of that snowball not rolling downhill like I'd like, I'll fund the rest myself.
Copyright... name is changed to Royal Wilderness. I appreciate the heads up on that, guys. Chances are, everything would be fine, but better safe than sorry is a good motto to have in life =)

This thought is exactly what I was thinking about when designing this deck.
I've gotten some guff about the name, but the design is there, regardless. It was fun trying to get consistency across the Suits, and across the Royalty, at the same time. At a glance, a Queen is a Queen... a Club is a Club. I find many decks I've seen lately are way too novelty driven. I personally like to play with cards, and I'm definitely a function over form, kind of guy.
As much as I hate to say it, the Federal 52 deck fits this bill. Is it a piece of art? Absolutely. I put in my order for a deck of Silvers. It's almost too pretty though. I don't know as I'll actually want to play with it, for fear that someone will mess them up! There's a fine line designers have to walk, it would seem...

Hello! For the record, this deck was always themed off of Game of Thrones. I've personally never read the books, but I'm a huge fan of the HBO series. I don't think Westeros itself is trademarked, so hopefully I'm ok there. The back that I had the first time around was god awful, and I imagine that was part of my failure. I've waited, and waited, and finally came up with something... respectable? Hopefully you'll agree that's the case. I went with a red and a blue back, because I was trying to stick with tradition. Same reason I wanted to keep the standard pips. I want these to feel like a regular deck of cards, not some weird novelty deck that only gets used once, or worse yet, stays on a shelf somewhere. Most importantly, I want to play with these cards! The fact that there are surplus decks available (hopefully, if it gets funded, obviously) is a bonus =)
This is my first, well second, time at this. The delivery times I've quoted seem to fall in line with other's projects, and based on my contact with USPCC, I stand behind them.
I checked out the Army Men deck, but the updates that look to be the most important are for backers only... then a bunch of refunds?! That looks awful. I can assure you that won't be the case here. As stated prior, I want to play with these, so I'll do everything in my power to assure their success.
So the name change, sure. I'm trying to catch some eyes. That's the hardest part, it seems, of this whole thing... trying to get people's attention. Hopefully I've gained some momentum this time around though, and I look forward to delivering on this deck of cards. If you find the project, and / or myself worthy, I'd appreciate your support and your word of mouth.
Cheers, folks! =)

Hello! New deck of cards up for grabs on Kickstarter! Westeros' Wilderness
Custom Royalty, Jokers, Ace of Spades, and Backs. Standard Pips. Tradition was the focus here, with all the court cards given their appropriate attributes. The back was inspired by the Rider Back, dubbed the Castle Back. Royalty are based on the factions involved with Game of Thrones / A Song of Ice and Fire!
Suicide King

The idea with the diamond is that it is an actual diamond. shiny...
The clubs are mouths. nom nom nom? Dragons? Teeth? No?
I had no idea that the card community was as robust as it was, so I was not prepared with pips or a box. Fail on my part.
90%? I mean... yeah. As for the delivery, something tells me this round is going to fail, so I don't think I'll be delivering anything

Hello! I am responsible for this deck 
Thank you so much, Don, for bringing it up, and Utterfool for getting me over here to introduce myself. If you don't mind, I have a question I'd like to ask, first...
What do you think about these pips?
