I have read the thread and.. I can understand all of your comments. Making a limited deck isn't easy. If you print less than (let's say) 500-700 decks there's no way to get it from a "standard" supplier (let's say USPCC, EPCC, LPCC). You *have* to go with MPC or maybe others. MPC is a good tradeoff in my opinion.
But I totally understand that an MPC deck is not everyone's cup of tea.
Avernum for us has always been a "special preview" for a Kickstarter project (Inferno) that is currently live - we are in the last days:
