Oracle of Watchers - Prep (Patreon)

Hey guys,

I've got a few things in the pipe right now and I'm thinking about what happens and when. The plan was to have a big summer sale right around now and then launch the Kickstarter for the second Oracle deck right after. As of right now, things are running a bit behind but not by much.

One of the most meaningful changes I've been considering is in relation to the content of the Oracle of Watchers deck.

This has been the layout of the deck for the past couple of years while it has remained in a largely finished, but unpublished state. The choice I'm considering making is about whether or not I want to make new pieces for it.

Due to the number of Watchers I've illustrated not totaling the exact right number of cards, I've been planning to include 6 Seraphim in the deck to fill the gap. On its own, that doesn't bother me too much, but I'm realizing that I'm about to try to Kickstarter a deck entirely made of old and widely reposted artwork.

In order to create additional interest in this deck and make it more thematically consistent, I'm considering adding 6 new Watchers to the roster specifically for this collection.

Personally, I am excited by the idea of designing 6 new Watchers! Technically there are a few hundred of them, so adding a few more beyond the core 20 doesn't run contrary to the lore. I'd be shooting to finish one of them per week for the next 6 weeks. Just in time for the next KS launch. Let me know what you think in the comments.

Much love,

-Pete
