Hello everyone, just a quick update and some good news for you all.
Primordial Playing Cards is over 75% funded after only 3-4 days!!! Thank you all for making this campaign such an incredible experience so far and it now looks like a safe bet this project will be funded in good time at the current pace.
... and I didn't think this would be a popular choice to add from the start of the campaign as I thought the high number of special rewards tiers which included the carat cases would be more the sufficient, but as the question has been, and continues to be put to me about giving this option to I have decided to do it.
The Special Edition Laser Engraved Carat cases are now available to add separate allowing for customisation of your existing rewards. (The separate carat cases and individual prices attached will now also be included in the BackerKit survey that follows shortly after the campaign). There is no limit on the number of cases per backer and you can pledge towards as may as you wish.
How to add the above items to your existing pledges is very simple. Simply select the manage your pledge option and a separate page will open up with a list of reward tiers including the current one your have selected, whichever it may be. In the box which shows the total amount pledged simply calculate and adjust this total amount by adding any of the amounts listed above for the individual carat cases.
Here is a small video guide for anyone that needs it: Video
As before if you are unsure and would like me to check the maths before you make any changes relating to the above, simply message me a list of what you have already pledged towards and the total you currently have, a list of what you would like to add and I will double check everything is correct or provide you with the amount you need to change to.
Many Thanks

WOW!
What can I say really. We've hit the halfway mark in 24 hours! It's certainly been an experience so far and I can't thank you all enough for helping me bring this project to life and hopefully this great response will continue right through to reaching the target amount.
I just wanted to address a few questions that have been put to me so far since the start of the campaign along with some great suggestions as well.
Special edition carat cases;
I have been asked a few times now about the options to add carat cases separate as add-ons by existing pledgers and also on discussions about this campaign outside kickstarter on forums such as United Cardists. I didn't include this from the start in all honesty as I thought it may not be a popular option given high number of reward tiers which already include them but as the question is now being put to me more frequently, especially after that last few days I thought it best to now look at this option and ask for overall feedback from you all. Really with this I have an option, I can create a small list over the next few days with separate prices which will allow those who want them to simply add additional funds to their existing rewards and then be able to add the individual cases through the BackerKit surveys which will follow shortly after the campaign. So would this be an option that interests any of you besides those who have already asked so far? Feel free to comment below.
Securing the Pantheon edition deck but adding other rewards without losing your place;
A few of you have asked about being able to secure this item but are unsure about being able to secure this with additional items added. On the actual campaign page I have included a description on how to do this as the option is there. Just to highlight, all any of you need to do is at the very start is pledge towards the special tier titled 'Pantheon Deck (Very Limited)' this secures the deck for you. (Never switch from this tier to another to ensure that you never loose your place).
After you have done this you simply select the option to 'manage my pledge.' This opens up a separate page with a list of all listed tiers along with the one you have selected and on your one which is highlighted all you have to do is calculate and add the value of the additional items you want and add them to the total amount (inc shipping costs if applicable).
Here is the video tutorial if anybody needs it,
Guide
Of course if you are unsure or want me to double check the math before you do the above, select/pledge the Pantheon tier and then afterwards drop me a message with a list of the additional items you would like to add and I can tally the amount for you to add to make sure it's correct before you adjust the amount.
Manufacture of the various decks in this series by different companies;
I've added in bolder detail to the campaign header and under the listed specifics for each of the various decks which company will be manufacturing them. I understand now by recent feedback I could have worded this a bit clearer and highlighted it more as it is an important factor for card collectors. Under each description of the individual decks it now lists which company will manufacture them, but I will quickly outline here as well.
1) All decks in the series, standard editions and gilded editions of both the Aether and Chaos decks will be manufactured by USPCC.
2) Only the additional special/very limited deck, The Pantheon will be manufactured by MPC.
The reason why a different company is manufacturing the Pantheon deck is due to certain restrictions with minimum orders by the bigger companies. With the bigger companies I am only allowed to manufacture decks at a minimum run of 1000 so this prevents me being able to create a special one-off edition at a lower number with a different more individual design.
Shipping costs;
It has been highlighted as well by some that shipping costs appear to be slightly higher then normal. The reason for the higher costs in shipping is that I have for this first campaign opted to use tracked shipping on all items as opposed to standard shipping worldwide as being the first campaign I have done I want to ensure that all your rewards are delivered quickly and safely and with added piece of mind once fulfilment has begun.
Everything else;
If any of you have any additional questions or concerns or even additional suggestions about any aspects of the campaign you can drop me a direct message on here and I will assist in the best way possible.
Many Thanks
Costa
