Hi all,
The symmetric version of the Singularity Deck Third Edition is just about ready to go! As soon as the printing issue I mentioned yesterday (https://www.patreon.com/posts/singularity-deck-72454602) is resolved, I’m going to submit the symmetrical versions of the cards to the printers. ...

Hi all,
I have some good news regarding the latest proof copies I received of the Singularity Deck Third Edition: The fronts of the cards look great (including the Hourglass Suit).
And some bad news: for some reason the proofs I received had a major problem with the backs of the cards which is holding things up from release.
A bit more on the bad news first, then I'll show ...
Thanks everyone for the feedback on the Hourglass suit! I'm working on the final tweaks and should get the proofs ordered soon. Once I receive what should hopefully be the final set of proofs, all of the updated borderless cards will go live on Drive Thru Cards.
In other news, the Multideck Maker: Piecepack layouts and art assets have been added to the Patron Drive Multideck Maker Folder...
Great news, the borderless cards look excellent. Most importantly, the concerns about the color bleeding through to the edge seem to be largely unfounded. Also, the lack of a hard-edged border also makes the cards look much cleaner and any variations in positioning much less noticeable.
There was a minor color variation issue, unrelated the borderless change, that I'm working out with D...
Hi all,
Here is the latest version of the hourglass/spacetime suit, and I think it's getting pretty close to done. As always, I'd love to hear any thoughts or feedback.
First up are the court cards, including the newest cards the clock tower and omega:

Hi all,
Just a quick update that the proofs for the borderless Singularity Deck have been ordered along with the proofs for the new spirals suit. Drive Thru Cards is still a bit slower than usual so they say it will take between 3 and 5 weeks to show up.
In the meantime, I've updated the tiff files and the print and play PDFs for the Earth and Cosmos suits and added both f...
Hi all,
Thanks to everyone for the feedback on the spirals suit as its taken shape. I've made a few refinements and cleaned up some alignment issues and such. I think its ready to go, but I wanted to give everyone one last look before I order proofs. Let me know if anyone has any other thoughts. Thanks!

Hi all!
One more post for the day. I think I've come up with a solution for the alpha-omega card question for the spiral suit.
There was a preference for the hex wormhole design, however there was a concern about the fact that it could be hard to tell the two cards apart.
Here is what I'm thinking as a solution:
Go back to the "traditional" format for the ...
Given the ideas and potential changes to the Singularity Deck brought up in my previous post, I thought this would be a good time to bring up some other potential ideas for the deck.
I've gotten the request to swap the dice for numbers a few times, so I wanted to explore some options and get feedback.
For this post I'm only showing off white bordered designs to not confound the dis...
Hi all,
A patron reached out to me to let me know the Singularity Deck Third Edition cards they received from Drive Thru Cards had some inconsistent printing results, causing a noticeable border variation across the cards. Drive Thru Cards tends to be good about replacing anything that's printed a bit wonky. However, it has made me consider a few options for possibly improving the design ...

Hello all of you fine folks,
I've refined the court cards for the wormhole suit and wanted to get some feedback on the alpha/omega cards.
First up is the king, which has a new item: shuffled/cardistry cards.
The queen is pretty similar to what has already been shown off, with a few minor imp...
2022-07-20 15:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostI've been struggling a bit to figure out what the third court card should be for the hourglass suit. I've previously shown off a Jack depicting an executioner and a King depicting death.
Ben Mdm had an idea that I really loved whereby the courts cards suggested the story of a deposed king: jack ...

I wanted to announce a few possible changes to the Singularity Games patreon and solicit feedback before anything fully goes into effect.
I'm planning to formalize specific tiers. This gives me a bit more control over things (for example like making a commercial 3D printing license tier) and I think it will help things grow and hopefully become a bit more sustainable in term...

Thanks to everyone for responding to the project poll earlier this month! It really did help me direct my focus.
Most of the interest seemed to be on finishing the spiral and hourglass suits for the Singularity Deck, so that's where I've been putting my attention so far this month.
Conceptually, the spirals/wormhole suit was always supposed to blend in alongside the other suits, whi...

Hi all!
I'm going to put the patreon on pause for May as I catch up on some stuff behind the scenes and some outside work projects. All this means is that you won't be charged for May. Nothing needs to be done on your end.
In meantime I wanted to show off a preview of something I've been working on for the last few months: a third edition of the magnetic boards.

I'm at the design stage for the 3rd edition of the Singularity Deck where most of the work is refinement and detail oriented. Since much of the progress has been incremental it makes it tough to show off anything too flashy at the moment. That said, I wanted to share some more in progress artwork for some of the cards.
