I've used Bananaprint, Sticker It & am about to try Prodigi. To be fair Bananaprint changed my proofs once because they thought I'd made a mistake - they deal w a lot of amateur designers - & were v quick about correcting it

Happy Columbo’s Day

Screenshot from Columbo. He his talking to his dog, which is sitting is the drivers seat of a car. “Okay, I’m gonna put you in charge. You take care of the car. You’re a responsible dog. When I get back, if the car’s okay, I’ll give you another cookie.”

I compromised on the first deck with buying off-the-shelf boxes & hand stamping them & signing & numbering & making that part of the attraction. but I didn't want to do it again because I can't then sell them into the EU, sigh. I had to do the whole package in one place to do that

colour me surprised!

sigh, it's down to economics, being that I need to sell the deck for ££ to make any money at all, and people will only pay ££ if it's got a fancy box. but yeah, it is nice :D

I need some face-to-face advice from an accountant & I was clicking through local firms' websites. 1 had a picture of the MD on it & he looks like he eats children smothered in barbecue sauce while sexually harassing his secretary and voting Reform & I wonder what *he* thinks his photo looks like

ANYWAY the test deck has arrived and it's BEAUTIFUL. the white on the logo will be silver foil (they don't silver foil the test deck in case you decide to alter it - the dies to silver foil cost £70ish to make). The cards are exactly the same as before & feel great. very excited! #tarot #tarotsky

a black box. It has a white stylised crow and the words "queer crow death magic tarot" written on it

heads-up that they deleted their pledge 24 hours later. I have no idea what was going on there. But anyway now we're close to meeting target again, this time with (hopefully) genuine pledges 🤞

#SciFi #book #nerds

Some help? I'm really in the mood for a SciFi book that is themed around alien archeology, mystery, a bit like how Prometheus could have been, or Halo or Mass Effect. If possible, less emphasis on military yawn and avoiding misogyny.
