are you doing an art piece? what about the chest thing again? i really want to get a chest plus decks, uncutt, and art if you will have them.

The KS is launching with the Aether Eco Clip bundles, uncut sheet bundles, and collector's bundles (these include Vortex goodies & Protodecks/Proto-uncuts).

I'll probably add in bundles for the actual plates used to print the decks for a premium price tag. There is also an option to have your name or any word/reveal you want hidden in the deck and an option to join our development team on the next release and become a part of the staff for one project.

I will also include a signed poster of the artwork signed by Ross (my co-designer) and myself for anyone that spends over a certain amount (yet to be decided).

The project goal is going to be $12,000 this time around, but I expect to get over $20k with a nice stroke of luck.

With the way the KS is set up, there may be two or even three different bundles you'll want to grab which is why I allow for custom bundle set-ups for all orders over a certain amount as well.

Wow I just read over this and it sounds like you have a solid plan Alex!! I'm really liked the price set up and the reward bundles sound great. Can't wait for this one now! Are you thinking March or April? I remember you said spring but I wasn't sure if you knew what month yet.

Sounds awesome! Printing plates would be an honor to own.
And who is this "Ross" that you speak of? We haven't heard of him yet...

Silent partner ?

I'm pretty sure it's his codesigner on this project. I haven't heard much about him either.

Ross Takahashi, a friend of mine from high school, and an extremely talented artist. He's doing the hand-drawing for this, and I'm doing the digital work/coloring/shading aspect.

jmrock · « **Reply #160 on:** February 20, 2012, 02:31:48 AM »

Alex... This is quite a following you have... You are like the Messiah of Playing Cards... You haven't really released much of anything regarding the deck yet and they are ordering bricks and bricks from you... Great Stuff man!!!

Well, an artist from Nevada called Ross Takahashi. Can't be too many of them about; his stuff looks awesome.

xela · « **Reply #162 on:** February 20, 2012, 06:04:24 AM »

Aye, that's him.

Evan · « **Reply #163 on:** February 20, 2012, 09:28:26 AM »

He's an amazing artist! I can't wait to see the deck!

dmbaggs · « **Reply #164 on:** February 20, 2012, 12:26:12 PM »

He's got some good stuff on his flickr. Very skilled!! Can't wait to see more of his work!

NathanCanadas · « **Reply #166 on:** February 22, 2012, 11:16:38 AM »

Wow Alex. This seems amazing, and the thing is that, with you, it never is only hype!

So if you all haven't already seen the news on Facebook, I'm printing 2,500 standard Harlequins and 500 special, limited edition Harlequins with an Experimental Finish.

What the actual finish for the Ex. decks is I can't disclose yet - but I'm getting samples in a few days and I'll let you guys know if it's every bit as awesome as I think it will be.

Aside from the bundles that include them, you will get one FREE Ex. Harlequin added to your order for every $100 you pledge.

Frost · « **Reply #168 on:** February 23, 2012, 01:18:03 AM »

are the bundles going to have more than just one deck or is it just going to be the limited edition and other stuff

Can you tell us yet how much we will have to pledge for one of these decks? Will it be significantly more that the regulars or just a bit? Also will this be a shorter kickstarter because of the lower ammount of money needed?

dmbaggs · « **Reply #170 on:** February 23, 2012, 01:27:19 AM »

That is super exciting news!! I'm curious how much the reward tiers that include this will be. I would expect it to be a good amount higher than a normal deck, but who knows!

Any guestimates on when the Kickstarter will launch?

LeonJL · « **Reply #171 on:** February 23, 2012, 01:30:32 AM »

I'm dying to know more about the experimental finish.. looking forward to any news in the next few days.. but definitely going to pick up a few just to try it out.

Frost · « **Reply #172 on:** February 23, 2012, 01:31:26 AM »

he said on spring so i think it is going to be on march 20th that's when spring officially starts .

Well Robert(Conjuring creations) said that the AetherCards clip would be launched in April, I think I read that it is styled after the Harlequin deck or it will be sold on KS with the harlequin or something, but I am guessing April.

Gunshy1 · « **Reply #174 on:** February 23, 2012, 01:40:01 AM »

damn, gotta start saving up so i can get at least a few of these ex. decks.

@alex. if the Ex. decks are a hit will you use the finish on other upcoming decks?
