Anyone know the guy?

His face looks very familiar, though I do not know him personally.

I think that I will be donating to this project. Hopefully this is done well and is entertaining.

Playmats do seem to quite "in" nowdays. UltraPro and others are producing quite a selection. There were custom mats at GenCon plus a few dollars could get one of the artists to do one for you. Mark Tedin did a very nice, totaly custom, one for me for less than $50.

In this case, a dice bag and pile of cards and two off the shelf mats sure don't warm me up. What an opportunity missed to strut his/her stuff.

Think I'll just keep my money.

Play mats are no good to me anyway!

Magic is cropping up a few times on Kickstarter though.

A while back we were looking for donations to help run the site, Kickstarter does seem to accomplish that sort of thing.

You just need an idea, from what I can gather, cubes and EDH were all fan created varients on the game. All you need to do is invent a new way of playing magic, that requires some third party equipment, and get a kickstarter up and running to supply the equipment.

In other Kickstarter news, according to Pete Venters, there is a 20th Anniversary artbook in the works. Some/all of the original artists of Magic are coming together for a book and all them are providing new art for it. Last I checked the Salvation thread for it, the Kickstarter hasn't actually launched yet, but it's supposed to go up October-ish. Definitely something I'm going to be looking out for.

If you hear anything more about this, please let us know, I am sure more than just myself would be interested in this.

I have also talked to a few of the artists on board with this project. In the beginning they were not sure how to get the funding, and I pitched the Kickstarter funding method to a certain artist in Philadelphia and they ran with it. This has been festering for some time and it is coming in the upcoming months. All I can say is look out for this, it is going to be huge. Jason

From what I've read, the artists seem pretty keen to the project. I haven't seen any updates in a good 2 weeks, but once something pops, I'll say something. Provided someone else doesn't. Looks like it's a waiting game in the mean time.
