[Kickstarter] Pairs
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ch ... c-pub-game
This looks like it's right up my alley. Now to figure out what my KS password and my Paypal password are after I had to reset them both.
If any local gamers want to go in on this with me to get a deck, let me know before I sign up.

Looks intriguing, and I love me some Kingkiller, so I'm in. Debating a 2nd deck as an easy Christmas grab-bag gift.

If we get to 200K, we get a Girl Genius deck available.
(And actually, I'm just hoping we get the Echo Chernik barmaid deck. I LOVE her artwork.)

I didn't see the stretch goals past 100k. Things must have changed. I'm still waiting to see if I am getting deck multiples or if I'm on my own. I'm glad he didn't make limited availability pledges.

Re: [Kickstarter] Pairs
I could see playing this with the kids or the family. In for two decks -- one for the kids (Princess) and one for me.

Re: [Kickstarter] Pairs
Nice. It may be worth noting that they recently added new tiers for intermediate #s of decks--you can now get the best pricing ($10/deck) with 6, 8, 9, or 12 decks.
And the current Kicktraq 'trending toward' # is $170k, with a range of $138k-$186k. Girl Genius is at $200k, so it's rather unlikely but not out of the question. Kovalic is $155k, and the highest Rothfuss deck is $130k, nearly guaranteed.
I'm currently in for 2 decks--a Rothfuss and Falling. Could possibly up to 4 once the Faen deck is unlocked.

Re: [Kickstarter] Pairs
Rothfuss blogged about the project again this AM, meaning $115k and the Princess and Mr. Whiffle deck is pretty much guaranteed to unlock today. And that gets us closer to the Faen deck, which is what I have my eye on...

Options
$16 = one deck which is all I need. Likely the option I will go for unless I need to buy more to shore up an easily ordered number.
$24 = two decks
$33 = three decks
$42 = four decks
$51 = five decks
$60 = six
$80 = eight
$120 = twelve
Note, this is all contingent on my being able to get in to my KS and PayPal accounts...
I am not really art guy nor do I care about the bonus stuff. I just want a deck to play with. That said, I'd get one or more of the following:
Maybe the Modegan Deck because it's actually a different game
Maybe the Goblin Deck
Maybe the Kovalik deck
Maybe the Foglio deck

Re: [Kickstarter] Pairs
I would also consider the Falling deck--it's a completely different game and looks pretty fun to me.

Others I know enjoy Falling quite a bit. I think redrun even owns a copy. It's just not for me. I don't know why.

Re: [Kickstarter] Pairs
Rothfuss' blog did the trick today--it will be the top day of the project so far, and the Faen deck should be unlocked by breakfast.

And, now trending toward $200k. So there's a chance we could get all twelve decks by the end.

I'm really interested in finding out the theme for the Kovalic deck.

Word that I got back from John (and I'm paraphrasing): "Dunno. Let you know when I do know."

Other updated samples:
Prof. Elemental:
Phil Foglio (Muse):
Princess Whiffle:
Goblin:
Pirates:
Fruits:
Still no Modegan sample art.
The project continues to bust through stretch goals (Rothfuss blogged again today, which helps). Veronica Belmont and Hank Green will be incorporated into the Faen deck, and Rothfuss will be posting some outtakes of his video along with ringtones.

Re: [Kickstarter] Pairs
Yeah, I got an email with the sample from John about a half hour ago, but was busy dying in, I mean playing, AC IV so I didn't see it. I failed the collective. That Foglio sample is gorgeous!

Re: [Kickstarter] Pairs
Ok, I'm in for 3 decks. Kovalic's Baby Cthulhu for me, Princess for the kids, and Falling.
Somehow I expected Kovalic would come up with art that I couldn't do without. My fallback would have been the Pirates.

Re: [Kickstarter] Pairs
There are 4 decks that I would love to have. Echo Chernik, Kovalic, Cheyenne Wright, and Phil Foglio. I would also love to get a copy of Falling. But $50? And if we don't get to the Kovalic or Foglio level, then I'm just buying a couple of extra decks that I don't really want!

Alright, I'll take your word for it. But if I don't get my Foglio deck, you're buying my gyros at the next OctoCon you make it to.
