New Deck WIP - Eminence (working title)

[Don Boyer]

Hey guys,

Wanted to give you a preview of the "Gold" and "Platinum" editions of Eminence. Hope you like!

Tread cautiously in "multiple versions" territory.  Stretch goals are a great thing, but some projects start hitting the point of "deck fatigue," where it seems there's too many decks being offered at once - it's a wallet buster.  It can also cut into your bottom line, in terms of the costs associated with a separate print run and selling additional items.  That record-breaking project for the "Name of the Wind" deck ended up offering over FIFTY items in its reward listings and add-ons - a freakin' nightmare for mere mortals to keep track of, especially with that many orders to fulfill.

I hear ya and I'm actually going to probably do the gold and platinum only without doing the blue "premium" one.

I like these, I like these a lot. 

One comment I would say is the frame on the tucks where it says Gold and Platinum. I think it would look best if they were of equal length with one another. The balance on the platinum tuck has a much nicer effect for my eye than the one with gold written in it. the Gold frame is just so much smaller than the Playing Cards frame at the bottom of the spade. Either way, I like these a lot!

Thank you Fes, glad you like it! I will see what your suggestion looks like! I think it'll work out!

Normally, I choose 'silver/platinum/white metal/chrome' over 'gold' - but in this case I really do prefer your 'Gold' edition... It seems to resonate more with the colours in your deck, perhaps those courts parading in golden locks

Bear in mind that you're seeing it in flat colors on a computer screen.  Will the inks be metallic?  Will this be foil?  If so, it can make a world of difference to the appearance.

Juggling and making decisions on KS campaigns, editions and stretch goals seems like a mind-boggling jungle. I've yet to take the leap into that world.
I'm sure you'll get it right... and, I do like your blue 'premium' if you ever decide to go with it

True, I wasn't thinking of the possible shiny effect

The tuck will feature all gold foil on the "Gold Edition" and all silver foil on the "Platinum Edition". The cards themselves in both decks will have metallic inks on the backs and court cards along with the traditional yellow, blue, red and blacks!

Thanks,
