“With two weeks left, we were looking at additional ways to get the word out on the campaign. Thank you for those who have pledged and continually told us how excited you are about the Retro Deck Design. We want to make sure that the project has every chance to get in front of as many people as possible so that we can hit our goal. To that end, we would like to offer each backer the chance to get one of our Woodland decks FOR FREE. That’s right, for FREE. The Woodland Deck has received alot of great press…” ~ Pocono Modern

Successful creators of Bicycle Dia de Los Muertos playing card project on Kickstarter developed a new series of decks – The Grimoire Playing Cards. They propose the first two decks from the series (Illustrated by David Edgerly): Necromancy Deck and Elemental Magick Deck. The decks are based on ancient texts of magick, magical aesthetics of fantasy worlds and role-playing games (RPG). Court cards portray the creatures summoned and controlled by Necromancers and Elemental sorcerers – various types of undead, and spirits of earth, air, water and fire.
The decks are planned to be printed by the Expert Playing Card Company (EPCC). Poker size.
Bicycle Rongorongo and Moai Rongorongo playing cards inspired by scribes of Easter Island and Polynesian tribal masks. They pay honour to the Rapa Nui civilization of Easter Island. Moai is a monumental statue created by the early Rapa Nui people. Easter Island is famous for its 887 extant moai.
Decks were designed by the American artist, Tomas Leszczynski (New York). They will be produced by his company, Matifu*, and are planned to be printed by the United States Playing Card Company (USPCC).
