Hey guys. Designer of the deck here O_O

I was told to come on over here by a few people on Kickstarter.

@MagikFingerz
I may have made my response a little too casually. It's not that I don't want it to be historically accurate, but more I didn't want to change something right away on the first day of the project. Some have messaged on Kickstarter saying they didn't want the colors switched, so I'm a little torn on what to do about that.

There was a suggestion to look into the Napoleon era as well to make the cards even more unique. So I've been looking into that and the Thermidorian Reaction as well. I'm sorry you find the cards boring =(

@Don Boyer
I am definitely open to suggestions and welcome critique! The liberty, equality, fraternity is a good idea. My thinking for the naming of the decks was the alliteration of the subjects of the decks, but the Reign/Regime decks do tend to get confusing. One of those hindsight things I guess.

I did read up on how the courts were replaced. My original thinking behind the decks wasn't based on the different periods, but to create a deck with courts of notable people from the Ancien Regime and the Revolution. Then, the white Reign of Terror deck came about and I figured the court had to be people that were guillotined. La Marianne is on the blue back card design, though I guess not prominent enough. Now, with everyones feedback I'm starting to think in stages of the revolution versus how I originally conceived the deck.

I've been torn about the QoD in the Regime deck. I sort of knew that it was going to be a problem for a lot of people, but...man I really love that hair boat haha. So I went with the decision to do it and see what the people and the uspcc say. I do have alternatives with her and different hair though. I have been talking to Tiffany, but I still have to upload artwork to the ftp. I still have three more court cards to finalize.

I thought I was prepared for some of the critiques such as printing or the QoD, but I've been given so much more to think about. I appreciate the feedback from here and on Kickstarter guys.

Also, one last question. Is it weird to cancel the project? It feels early enough to do so and I've been mulling over the feedback. The Napolean/Thermidorian Reaction really does interest me, but to do a whole new court on top of the few courts I have to finish now and possibly fix any historical inaccuracies...the 30 days I have doesn't seem like enough time. It would be kind of weird if the project gets funded, but I'm far from done redoing the deck. I see there's an awesome Design & Development forum here, so maybe I can hang out there and I can iron out these cards? I'm still thinking things over.

Thanks again guys!
