"Fight on and fly on to the last drop of blood and the last drop of fuel, to the last beat of the heart" - Manfred von Richthofen (AKA...The Red Baron) In World War I many saw being a pilot as a glamorous role. A position that would take them away from the mud and blood of the front lines. Aviation attracted young, energetic recruits who were keen to be trained in this new way of warfare. The need was high and the training was minimal. If you survived, you had the opportunity to be one of the elite, the "Flying Aces." A flying ace, fighter ace or air ace is a military aviator credited with shooting down several enemy aircraft during aerial combat. The actual number of aerial victories required to officially qualify as an "ace" has varied, but is usually considered to be five or more. Inspiration My fascination with flight started with my grandfather who was a "Jack of all Trades". One of my grandfather's greatest loves was flying. This project is dedicated to his joy of flying and to the many flying daredevils who risked their lives for that thrill. Join this fascinating quest and my passion for historically profound characters, and larger than life sagas.
Hi everyone!
If you liked the Top Aces of WWI, you are sure to like my newest project even better!
Early Birds end in 4 hours!
Thanks for checking it out!
At the beginning of this year, I was reminded that the 150th Anniversary of the completion of the 1st Transcontinental Railroad is coming up. May 19th 2019 to be exact. I thought it would be fun to make a limited special edition deck to celebrate the occasion. This is a completely redrawn and redesigned deck of the original Golden Spike Kickstarter project done in the summer of 2014. Check it out!
Hi everyone!
Great news! All rewards have been sent. You will be getting your rewards in the mail within the next few days and for International backers, next couple of weeks.
Don't forget to post your rewards and let me know what you think!
This is a custom deck intricately illustrated as a dedication to the many daredevils of WWII.
hope you all will support my newest project TOP ACES OF WWII, which is now funding.
Cheers!

Hey everyone, be sure to be on the lookout for your Kickstarter rewards. They should be arriving in the mail any day now for many of you.
We were off to a slow start trying to get everything sorted. I am currently shipping two projects, Top Aces of WWI and Devastation at the same time. To save on shipping and time, we combined the two projects for those of you who pledged for both.
I finally received my own shipment yesterday and I have to say, WOW! These look so much better than I had hoped.
Hope you all enjoyed!
Be sure to follow me on social media to see more images. I will be posting them shortly.
Please be sure to share your photos when you get your decks.
Best!
Jody
Great news! Top Aces arrived safely to Gambler's Warehouse. We should start shipping at the beginning of next week and hopefully finish by the end of the week.
If you need any last minute changes to your address that you provided...TOO BAD! No, I'm just kidding. Just send me a message with your address change and I will get it to Gamblers. But, be sure to get it to me over the weekend or I can't promise that you will get it changed in time.
Here's hoping you love your rewards.
Sincerely,
Jody
