I've noticed a few kickstarters for games have a similar problem to that one, with different donation tiers providing rewards of the product in a different quality level. It's inevitable that one like this would have a problem printing up and producing everything promised to donators in several different editions. She's probably raised enough to complete those first rewards but i'm sure she'll have to return the donations for those elite editions. It doesn't seem like it would be too hard to print up decent quality cards for 80ish donators even in ones own home. looking at that link someone posted either here or in the kickstarter comments it seems all you really need is a good quality printer, a template, the right thickness cardstock, spray adheasive and clear enamel. But obviously a real printing company could do it better and cheaper, even for only 100 copies.
I gotta say that game looked kinda cool to me too.

Does anyone else that thats a topless picture of her for her kickstarter picture?

I'm fairly certain that it is, yes.

A real printing company won't even talk to you for less than 1000 copies.

I'm certain they would, provided you flashed enough cash. Gets exponentially more costly per book the less you print, but so long as they turn a profit Though yeah it could eat quite a bit more of the kickstarter's funds than probably expected.

No, I mean they seriously will not talk to you for less than a thousand.  They won't even say "we don't do anything for less than a thousand."  They simply won't reply to your email or phone message.  This is from experience trying to get a quote on my group's own project back when we were looking at 3-500 copies of our game.  Once we pushed over 700 and we were thinking a thousand copies and have extra, we started getting (some) replies.

I'm not to surprised that it has to be at least a 1k printed copies. They make profit through volume. Under a 1k might not cover overhead cost or various other costs.

From the research I've done for a few projects, if you're under 1.5k copies, that its generally good to with Print on Demand services.

I like it.

You know what I find fascinating?  The comments on the Katalyka update that are acting like everything is normal and the project is the only thing having problems. 

Oh?  You're talking about the Sun like it's a person and that your card project is too close to reality so people are trying to stop you.  Perfectly normal, how can we help you finish the project?

That or she's floored on coke every other day.

Her deviant art stuff is, fuckin out there. Like History Channel Expert out there.

Check out her Facebook page (linked to on the Kickstarter) if you think the dA stuff is weird.  My favourite part is where she explains that Neil Gaiman is a woman.

They Might Be Giants songs actually being some kind of alien communication takes the cake.

I'l friending this chick because her posts are amazing.

It's like a mental sink. I can read her posts, and even though they are legitimately insane I get to, for a short amount of time just turn off my brain and enjoy the nonsense.

I tried to read it. I can't. I instinctively click the nearest X to save my brain.
