Pipmen: World - a real World First!

[Fud]

Hi Everyone,

I have waited to make this post for almost 3 years. This project is the culmination of literally everything that EPC has made so far - everything we have done has been an experiment towards or a tangent of this...

It is with great excitement that I present to you: Pipmen World!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/585926215/pipmen-world-playing-cards

Now, you are probably thinking: "Another Pipmen deck, you made one of them already (3, actually), what makes this so special? Why is this a world first?"

Well, this deck is not an ordinary deck. It has a secret, something that no other deck in the world has. It is this secret that makes Pipmen World incredible, and I can't wait to share it with you! Rouselle and ecNate guessed it first - Pipmen World is made up of awesome self-contained scenes which join together to form a giant scene - a picture of the Pipmen's World!

As we go continually spoil this deck, the uncut sheet below will be updated. I have made the card borders transparent so you can see all the detail that goes into these cards (including hidden detail in the card borders). Make sure to click the picture for a larger res version!



The campaign preview page is now up (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/585926215/1617830239?token=e2c93a92), so make sure to check it out for every little detail, including the following:





Pipmen world will be launching on Kickstarter on February 14th! Check out the preview page for all the details: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/585926215/1617830239?token=e2c93a92

Make sure to get in on the first day for the best deal. The 2 decks + 1 uncut is only $53 including shipping - that is SUPER CHEAP of decks + an uncut! Don't miss out

I look forward to seeing this deck unfold!

While the deck is being spoiled over at United Cardists (simpler to have only 1 location for this sort of reveal), we are currently about a quarter revealed

(Simpler and Lazy since copy past works in both places just fine.)

I don't mind or care where you do what, just pointing that out. You'll get love for your pipmen in both places. Launch it already.

 When will this deck go up at Kickstarter and are there any other goals and such when posted for funding?

It will launch on Feb 14th. I am tossing up whether to include an extra deck as an option up front or a stretch goal...

There will be plenty of stretch goals, including interior printing, a 55th 'map' card and more.

A map card sounds like a lot of fun. Looking forward to when this goes live.

 Do you have anymore pictures of this deck? will there be an uncut sheet? Because if so, this will be the first time I'd actually be interested in an uncut sheet for framing and artwork.

I certainly do! Here is the uncut sheet so far:



Uncut sheets will be available - this deck was literally designed around the uncut sheet so that it will look amazing. I have deliberately priced the sheet as cheap as I can (only $35 - much cheaper than other projects), and even have an 18-hour earlybird window where you can get the Pipmen: World deck, the second deck of the project AND the uncut for only $53 USD including postage to the US! That is super cheap, so make sure to get in during the EB window to score a great deal

Make sure to pledge in the first 18 hours to take advantage of the Earlybird pricing! Decks and uncuts are going super cheap with FREE US shipping, you would be crazy not to get in soon

See you in the Pipmen's World!

Aaaaand we are FUNDED!

12 hours in and we have already funded both decks and unlocked the first stretch goal: Pipmen Posters!

If you like the PIpmen World without the borders, make sure to pick up one of these colorful guys, and enjoy hunting the extra Pipmen in the hidden details between the borders

[PrincessTrouble]

If you could foil the back of the cards in same places you foiled the back of the tuck, that would be awesome.  Just saying.

I love this concept.  Well done Ben, and congrats on a well-run and very successful Kickstarter! 

It has to be the very best deck I've ever seen!  Certainly it's the most creative and innovative!
