UNTAMED postmortmem / more decks available!
9 years ago
General
With the exception of two or three people who are still missing some shipping info, all of the kickstarter orders have now been mailed out! International backers, you should expect your package in the next few days/weeks, depending on your country's customs process.
And with that, the project has essentially come to an end! I'm still blown away by how popular these decks have been, and I've decided to go ahead and place a small followup order, which means I've got more decks available! Please note that because this followup order was smaller than the initial Kickstarter print run, the tuck boxes use a sheen finish instead of embossing. Everything else is identical to the Kickstarter decks!
If you would like to purchase a deck, just hop on over to:

This project was a first for me, and it actually went surprisingly smoothly. The biggest complication I faced was international shipping. Customs were simpler than I expected, but very time consuming. Additionally, even the most economical tiers of international shipping were more expensive than I anticipated. I actually ended up selling at a loss for most international backers, but I had budgeted a small pillow to deal with unexpected expenditures, so it didn't break the bank, and it was worth it to learn the process!
In the future, I suspect that domestic orders will be cheaper (now that I don't need to have as thick of a safety cushion), and international orders will be a bit more expensive. I've also learned that there are a few countries I simply cannot ship to due to strict customs / regulations, including Russia. (Once again, sorry to my Russian backers - your refunds have been sent and should process in the next few days!)
In terms of printing, I'm very happy with the quality and the overall feel of the deck. It would be nice to try a domestic printer - particularly one that specializes in offset printing / stamping - if I can manage to secure a bigger preorder budget for future projects, but I'm very pleasantly surprised with how MPC delivered on their full color printing. I'm also particularly happy with the tuck boxes; they look great and feel great, and they hold up pretty nicely with regular use.
I do plan to eventually design another deck, which will probably focus on higher contrast, sharper/clearer imagery, and iconic illustrations, resembling a more traditional playing card style. If you enjoyed this deck, be sure to keep an eye out for an update email if/when I start working on a new one!
Thank you all, once again, for your support! I had a blast, and I'm so happy that you guys are enjoying the cards!

Thanks for creating another chance to grab one of those, Fek ^^
is the cost the shipping included?
but there was no page where to enter the shipping adress.
do you want a note from me with the shipping adress?
Also, is Untamed ever going to hit Tabletop Simulator?
I also have a small question, will you stream again any time soon?
I realy enjoy watching you Code, and it also teaches me a lot...
