why not make more decks?

There -is- more then one deck.
Take a look at the page linked in their journal.
A new one just came out.

that isn't what I meant.

Curious what you meant then XD

he said they are running low on first vanilla decks, so the logical thing to do would be to make more first vanilla decks.

back to my original question, why not make more decks?

Most card companies dont make remakes of old decks except for the occasional -special- or promotion for something that might require them too.
It probably also has to do with the contracts with artists who make art. Most contracts for this type of work will state how many copies of that art piece are to be made, as well, why make more of an old thing when you can move on and do better things?

It clears up old stock and makes room for new stock. I know since 1stV theyve changed to look of the cards and tweaked a few things about the game. Why go back to how it used to look when its different now?

Those are a few logical reasons i could think of. I'm sure there are more things related to the business end of things as to why more decks arent made. Only seppel and those who work closely would know i would guess.

considering how small furoticon is I think it would be in their best intrest.

It also diminishes the value of the cards. It wouldn't be a collectors thing anymore. Rares wouldn't be so rare anymore. Many cards would get thrown away because people already have multiple decks and an overflowing amount of commons. A giant waste if you ask me.

last I checked furoticon is a very small mostly unknown trading card game the cards don't have much value for multiple reasons. only furries know about the game and a small group of them play the game so the cards only have anykind of value to that small group of people, if seppel went and got a one of a kind card made it would be worth very little because the comunity is so small. value and rarity are not the same thing.

Well, theyve been able to produce 3 decks of cards with all the extra stuff as well. So, obviously, they arent doing that bad. The community also gets bigger at every convention they go to as far as i know. I hear friends coming back saying they tried it and liked it, after the first time they played. Some people buy the cards as a collectors purpose as well. not just for playing. (i am one of these people. I have played the game but i purchase for collection reasons.)

only in the furry community though. it would be in their best intrest to continue producing the older cards.

The furry community is pretty large. A lot larger then people tend to think.
There -are- other 'anthro' games thats are played by non-furs. sexualized. Like the catgirl card game. Sure, its not -porn- but i know plenty of non furs who'd have a blast playing furoticon. It doesnt take a furry to play it.

I understand your point, but reproducing old decks still is a waste of resources as well reduces the value of the cards and in doing so, can really mess with the way the game is played. It would probably end up costing them more then bringing in. Also, its not like being out of first vanilla really matters. They have other decks to sell and come out with one every year. >. > Being out of stock of one thing isnt going to impair future sales.

regardless, this conversation is going no where. So. This is my last post.

it wont hurt the value of the cards at all because they don't really have any value as is, demand for the male first vanilla deck seems really high given that they are sold out of them, there must be lots of people that want that male first vanilla deck so not making more is like throwing away money, making more decks will not hurt the value, I guarantee that if you went to a card store and tried to sell your furoticon cards they wouldn't take them, not only because they are worthless but also because they are pornographic meaning they can't be displayed at all. making more of the decks people want wont hurt the cards value because they can't be re-sold.

the stuff your talking about only applies to the really big card games like Yu-Gi-Oh, Magic and Pokemon which have huge install bases, those games discontinue their decks and boosterpacks after each year and come out with new ones to get people to buy the new ones, those are multimillion dollar companies that have that much money to spend and huge instal bases. Furoticon is a small card game they can't make new cards and discontinue the old ones every year because they don't have a big enough instal base and they don't have enough money to do that.

Believe it or not, Furoticon cards definitely have value.

It would absolutely hurt the after-market value of the cards if we were to reprint a set. Many 1st Vanilla cards are now worth 2x to 10x their original value, if in mint condition. To reprint the set would flood the market and reduce the value of those cards and make the passionate collectors very angry at us for devaluing their collection. We don't want to do that! :)

If we want to reprint a card, we bring it back in a future set. Sometimes even with new art!

Not only are they game pieces, but more importantly they also are limited print runs of artists' artwork. They have significant meaning to the community as a whole, regardless of their pornographic content (more than 20% of all Furoticon cards are G-rated), and this holds monetary and sentimental value to our community. :)

For example, a full set of all 14 cards Lazzydragon has done for Furoticon is worth well over $100, and that's if you manage to find anyone who'd be willing to part with them. :)

i'm positive that if i took the rarest furoticon card down to my local card shop and tried to sell it they wouldn't buy, because it is a very small mostly unknown card game, and they are pornographic which means they can't be displayed, furoticon cards have no re-sale value outside of the furry fandom. this practice doesn't make any sense for a small operation like yours, as i said before people must really want that male deck cause its sold out, the people that don't have that deck can't buy it, make more

Well, since we are on our way to Furoticon being sold in 2 different card shops, you may want to rethink your assumptions in a few years. :)

If people want the 1st Vanilla male deck, they're going to have to get it from other sources. In the meantime, we will continue to print new male decks. :)

pornographic content can't be displayed in public, it just isn't going to happen. I just think that given how small furoticon is it would be in your best interest to continue to print more of the first vanilla stuff.

Thank you for your opinion. :)

your very welcome. ^_^
