@Don, your rock solid confidence is empowering. Everyones feedback has been phenomenal. It's hard to process, but obviously in an good way! :)

@Card Player - thanks a lot man, so glad you like them!!
 Your 2nd Kickstarter, wow, I'm honoured to be chosen! :)

You're welcome.  It's not undeserved - you made significant improvements to the original design.  This is a deck I could plop down on a poker table with my friends, easily.

Both, naturally...  Who plays poker with just one deck?  :))

Get Both! 

Its a great two color combination set. Although, the emerald is what pushed me over the edge.

Thanks a lot Don, I made those changes just for you ;)

Guys I can't believe we're just a few hours away from the end!

What a ride, but it's not over yet. The throbbing veins in my neck are telling me so :).

I hope we can smash through the 70K mark and finish in a blaze of glory! lol

Do you think we can do it?

Been a great campaign so far. There's usually a push at the end especially when the hours turn to minutes, so it's certainly possible.  :D

A great campaign? Thanks so much Fes!

You never really get to know what people think of the campaign, and how you ran it, it's just usually feedback on the decks etc themselves.

So hearing that makes such a difference. Thanks man!

I imagine there may be a few last minute backers hiding in the grass, playing it dangerously :) I guess we'll see soon!

Hi

I know this campaign just ended. This is only my second backed project, so I apologize if I seem impatient. Anyone know when we can expect the survey? From what I've read, If we don't specify how many of each color decks we want by default we will get all Blue. lol

I can't speak with 100% certainty, but I'd imagine that Lee will wait a bit to ensure that all the funds are collected first. Sometimes payments error out for whatever reason; I believe Amazon/Kickstarter tries for 1-2 week before they officially stop trying and rule it as "unpaid". Since Lee has stated he'd be using BackerKit again, he'd probably send out a survey when he's finished setting up and syncing BackerKit and Kickstarter together. Then a survey will be sent out to collect our address and after an invite to BackerKit will be sent where we can clarify exactly what we want as add-on items and be able to add on more items and pay for it via Credit Card. All this may sound complex, but BackerKit is really really easy to us and it allows up to the last minute update on address, which Kickstarter doesn't without direct contact with the creator of a project personally.

Yea, I wouldn't I expect the BackerKit for at least another week and a half to two and a half weeks. If Lee does it sooner cool. I've received BackerKit's as early as two days(This just happened last night for another campaign, pretty shocking)after the closing of the funding campaign to as late as a month and a half later. I don't think you'll miss the email, I can't remember one being sent to my spam folder like fundafull emails do. Pretty sure Lee will give us a heads up when the BackerKit is launched too.

On a side note Brendon, I believe KS made a change and people are now able to update their mailing information through the survey system in KS. It should now go straight into the backer report, no more contact the creator nonsense like before.
