There's too many to keep up with right now!

four beasts, mail chimp....i shouldn't have even tried.

If by that you mean trying to collect EVERYTHING that comes out, then of course you shouldn't have tried!

But if you're talking simply about listing them here - please, by all means, do the best you can! The post need not be fancy - a name, a photo and a link to the creator is plenty. I'd even settle for the name and the photo.

BC deck preview anyone?

You're right - Lion's Den Casino from Ellusionist.

Still debating whether I want to renew. A lot of the decks last year were hit or miss for me.

I want to take a second to remind everyone that you should list a deck only when it is either available at retail or being fulfilled and shipping from the KS project creator or their fulfillment service. No pre-sales. No "it's shipping soon." The reason is two-fold.

First, I'm making sure that only those decks actually on the market get listed and only when they arrive. Who knows? Some natural or man-made disaster could keep a deck from reaching its recipients, or a KS project could turn out to be a scam and no one gets their decks.

Second, I'm working out a rough chronology of when these decks are released. I won't have exact dates often, except perhaps for commercial releases from the bigger companies and the printers. But having a ballpark figure is close enough.

I did notice that actually. I wonder if they're revamping just revamping the page look or making serious changes. Any guesses?

I'd guess bigger changes. Perhaps they will make it an actual crowdfunding site this time around, as opposed to a retail site dressed in crowdfunding drag...
