I’m slowly poking at the “kickstart a second edition of the Silicon Dawn” side project. Figured out exactly what I need to have in hand before I start looking for quotes.
Bots that probably don’t even have a copy to actually sell are offering it at $2000 now and that’s just way too damn much. Nobody’s gonna pay that.
@anthracite Consider adding 'The Blockchain' card for the die-cut foil-embossed collector edition limited run release? (Consider making it a Beanie Baby holding a tulipsword?)
@zebratron2084 @anthracite o.O
I would pay for booster packs that added, say, the Pagefile of Decrypting Rita. This could work.
Or a 'retrocausality' pack, where the cards are a milimeter greater in length than the standard deck, so it's easy to seed and stack the deck on reads when you need a little help.
@zebratron2084 @anthracite Oh Your Goddess: Jackalope of Hearts. ❤
@Momentrabbit @zebratron2084 I joke about booster packs but to be quite honest I don’t think I really have anything more to SAY in the space of Tarot. Also I really just want to turn this around into a new edition with as little work as possible - I plan to do small things to like 4 cards. Drawing a new suit is WORK and I’d rather spend my energies for THAT on Parallax.
@anthracite @zebratron2084 That's perfectly understandable, and I wouldn't want you to steal energy from current projects just to revisit something that you'd finished. I was thinking more along the lines of one-off 'booster' cards, rather than entire packs, promoting other works in your catalogue - like Rita, or a Parallax card with the Captains in the traditional Spy vs. Spy positions at each others' throats/freeing each others' bindings, or Drowning City (n of Cups - Cups Overflow?).
@anthracite @zebratron2084 But! New stuff beats bookmarks by far. It's a Parallax, I dig. n.n
@Momentrabbit @zebratron2084 that said the slightly shaven deck is a BEAUTIFULLY HORRIBLE IDEA.

Oh my goddess.
Now I want a Rider-Waite gaff deck.
