From what I understand of WJ they produce what I call a players card, thin and resilient meant to be played and shuffled for hours on end. I also hear that they are open to making changes to how they produce playing cards for a result with a broader appeal. I have no experience with the deck mentioned above by Mr. Tomlinson because I don't do faux aged playing cards. So I can't comment on their edges, feel, etc. This is what I have heard from others. I'm open to giving them a shot and seeing what they're about.
Lets keep in mind that the campaign is in NZD. NZD is currently about 0.73 USD so it's around $10 for a deck and GW handling a lions share of the fulfillment keeps the shipping respectable. Example 4 decks is $45 us shipped, not bad at all.
The design is unique and fun. I think with EPCC being the primary printer from the get go, these fund No Problem. Going with a relatively unknown, to the KS crowd, printer and initially being so hush hush about who this was introduced the challenge. Many prospective backers assume the worst in that situation and shy away regardless of their desire to have a deck or two of these well designed decks. Being open about the printer whatever company it is will always be a good idea. Even so, this campaign will fund unless it's completely derailed by some unforeseen circumstances.
Somewhere in the back of my mind, I have this nagging feeling that I've seen some of this design before. Which makes me wonder if this is it's first time on KS. Maybe I saw something somewhere else and that's what it is that's giving me this feeling. Either way, I like these decks.
