First, trying to push your own project and pretend like you're not attached to it seems a bit tacky. Note, if your email address has the company's name in it, it's easy to figure out.

Second, I'm sure there's a market, but it's going to be relatively small compared to the Magic-playing community in general, I suspect. Most players have a smartphone that can do all this and a lot more with any of several free apps.

yep, you'll make you goal and you'll sell some. But, if my math is right, at ~$12US a pop, that's a lot of cash to drop when my bag of 25˘ dice does the same thing.

*side note, do I or my creature die when the battery dies?

I can see raising a couple thousand, maybe even 10-20k if my estimate of potential demand is horribly wrong, but 49.5k euros? Probably not.

I think you have a cool product and I would buy these, but at the kickstart price it costs too much for me - google tells me that 42 pounds is almost 67 dollars. I would probably buy these at $3 a piece.

I agree with this.

@nderdog / Pail42 - I apologize if in some way I made you feel you were cheated on. I never had the intention to hide who I am. First of all I would not be so stupid to use this email. Plus I would have made sure this wasn't going to be my first post on this forum. Believe me, I had no intentions of hiding or misleading anyone.

The reason why I took this road is because I didn't want this to be a straightforward / all out promotion for the project. Please understand that this a project from Magic players, not business people. I visit many fora, just like you. To find new tricks to find new ideas for decks, to exchange thoughts and to learn about new things such as this project.
Why I posted it here is to get some momentum, of course, but more importantly to get feedback from the community.

Again, I hope I did not affend anyone. No reason to think that would be in my interest. Please keep your feedback coming!

Next time, try being straightforward. No one likes a deceiver. And we already have a thread for Kickstarter projects. Please post there.
