Hey Everyone,

My newest solo project will be launching on Kickstarter this Thursday at Noon EDT.

The KNIGHTS Decks are a new design that I think of as a spinoff of my Draconians. The Face Cards for the Rage Knight Deck will have a grey / silver background, and the Face Cards for the Fury Knight Deck will have a green background. The Tucks for both KNIGHTS Decks will be printed on the Silver Foil material (similar to Max's Bicycle Metal Deck).

Tagging along with the project will be the Draconian Wildifire Deck! Green Foil on the Tuck, Face Cards of black background and green cracks / fissures.

Their will also be 150 Limited GILDED Trio Sets with the project! Green Gilding for the Fury, Silver Gilding for the Rage, and Black Gilding for the Draconian Wildfire. The special 3-Deck Case that comes with the GILDED Trio Set will also be printed on the Silver Foil material.

Here's a Link to the Kickstarter Preview Page. I'll keep ALL Early Birds open for the first 24 Hours of the campaign!

Hey TY,

Welcome to the forum! What part of Michigan do you live in? I grew up in a small, country town (between Flint and Lapeer) and graduated from Central Michigan Univ. in Mt. Pleasant. My family and I live in Indianapolis now, but we drive up to Michigan every three months or so.

Thanks, Randy

Technically, my Cosmic Lanes Deck from a couple years ago was an Animated Deck (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/randybutterfield/glow-in-the-dark-playing-cards-cosmic-lanes-deck?ref=discovery). Although, I'm guessing there's been many other previous Decks that have been Animated. I believe that nothing is a "World's First" nowadays!! I never highlight that aspect, as you never know if it's true or not.

Even if it is, making a big deal out of it doesn't always equate to a successful project in today's crowdfunding marketplace.

Thanks, Randy

Thanks for the compliment Don!

The Imperial Gold Deck is now added to my website, and the older Decks are all marked down for a very short time!!

Available tomorrow night, November 1st at 8:00 pm EDT on MidnightCards.com, is my first self-funded Deck - the Imperial Gold Deck! I printed 1,000 with Expert Playing Cards and they were revealed last week at the 52 Joker Convention. The remaining 850 Decks will be available in three pricing tiers:

$14.95 + Shipping - per single Deck
$49.95 + Shipping - per 4 Decks and 1 FREE COIN
$21.95 + Shipping - per Uncut Sheet (18 remaining)

The Imperial Gold Tuck Box is printed on a Luminescent Gold paper stock and is printed with 4-Color Process + Red Foil + Gold Foil + Embossing + an Individually Numbered Seal Sticker that is printed a Dark Red Pantone on a Gold Foil material. It's gorgeous!!

The Cards are printed with my favorite - Classic Finish. The Back Card features a borderless design with the Two-Headed Eagle on the top and bottom. The Face Cards have had a facelift since the original Imperial Decks. The most notable are the suits have changed to a more playable Red (Diamond, Hearts) and Black (Spades, Clubs) combination, the Index fonts are revised to a more readable selection and the PIPS for the Numbers Cards are larger for easier gameplay.

The Coin that comes complimentary with a 4 Deck order is 2" in Diameter, printed with an Antique Gold Finish and has Red Enamel accents.

thanks, Randy

Hey Everyone,

I'm proud to announce my next Decks will be launching this Thursday at Noon EDT!

I've been working on a pair of Decks with an Ancient Rome theme for the past 10 months.
They are all finished and ready for print. The Limited and non Add-On items of the campaign
will be the cool, and appropriate, TOGA Sleeves (600 TOGA Pairs available).

Below are some images, and here is the KS Preview Link:

Such a luxurious deck Your fascination with the Roman era definitely shines through, especially liked seeing your kings side-by-side with the statues you used for reference, great job.

Thanks NineLives! I'm glad you like them!!

Last night I finished up the ninth Court Card - Livia Drusilla.
Livia was the wife of Augustus, and the mother of Tiberius (Rome's second Emperor).

Hi Playingarts,

I've always considered Design Contests to be a fancy way of getting artists to work for NO PAY.

I'm just curious, did the artists who created the Decks for Editions One, Two and Three get compensated monetarily for their work?

thanks, Randy
