Paul and I have been working on the Purple Deck for more than two years. There is still more to do, but a lot is finished and we are ready to share. I think it is time to put it out into the world. What do you think of the Permaculture Playing Cards: Purple Deck?



If you’d like to get one, please give this post a thumbs up. If we see 200 people interested, we can make this Kickstarter-worthy.

Here is a sneak peek of the cards. Fair warning, it is very purple

Share with the world

You share your referral link far and wide, with your own words of enthusiasm, or some of the ones we've already crafted below. Grab some images to catch people's eyes, too! We will keep adding more as we make them.

Some ideas of places to share:
    - local mailing lists
    - your own mailing list
    - Facebook pages/groups
    - twitter
    - pinterest, instagram, youtube ... lots of other social media stuff
    - your own website
    - your own podcast
    - forums
    - your current or previous kickstarter supporters
    - your client/customer list
    - the resources of somebody you know and you can split the pot!
    - other creative places you come up with


Tips

- Open with something really captivating. Think about what excited you about the idea of permaculture playing cards, and then follow with a brief explanation of the Kickstarter, maybe how you found out about permies and why you love it here. Throw in your ref link, and share with the masses.

- Share directly with people you know would love it. Think about who you know who's permaculture or homesteading. . Send them a message. They're wayyyyy more likely to back the project if you put it right in their face, and they'll also be delighted that you thought of them and remember their interests. Plus now you have an excuse to chat and catch up. Everybody wins!

- Mention it multiple times. Our experience is that mentioning it once is like not mentioning it at all, and mentioning it twelve times if like mentioning it twice. It takes a lot to get it to enter people's consciousness. The Kickstarter is running for two whole months! Mention it at least once a week. If people see how excited you are about it, enough that you're talking about it all the time, they will be more likely to check it out, and those on the fence will have more opportunity to revaluate and make a pledge.



If you're a non-profit organization (or even if you're not) and use kickback codes, you could share this project and say something like "these guys have agreed to give us a percentage of every pledge that supports through this link!"

12 years ago, Paul Wheaton released the original Permaculture Playing Cards — a fun way to share permaculture ideas with friends who thought you were a little nuts.

It worked.

Now he’s back with The Purple Deck — 52 new cards featuring more permaculture concepts, gorgeous art, and that same spark that can hook someone on permaculture in just two cards.

This is Paul’s 16th Kickstarter, and he’s asking: Is there enough interest to get them printed?

Let’s make sure the answer is yes.

Paul Wheaton’s at it again with his latest Kickstarter: Permaculture Playing Cards – The Purple Deck!

The first deck came out over a decade ago, and people loved using it to share permaculture ideas without sounding too crazy at family dinners.

Now, the Purple Deck picks up where that one left off — new art, fresh permaculture topics, and a mission to get more people inspired by just two cards.

Back the project here: [Kickstarter link]

Let’s get this deck printed and spread some permaculture magic!

Once upon a time, permaculture enthusiasts needed a way to share their passion without making their friends think they’d lost it.

So Paul Wheaton created a deck of Permaculture Playing Cards. They were fun, practical, and surprisingly effective — hand someone a deck, they look at two cards, and suddenly they’re intrigued instead of skeptical.

That was twelve years ago.

Now, by popular demand, Paul’s back with The Purple Deck — his 16th Kickstarter!

This new deck features fresh permaculture concepts, beautiful artwork, and that same spark that can get anyone hooked on sustainable living in just a few seconds per card.

The only question is: Is there enough interest to get them printed?

I think there is.

Come join in — and help bring the Purple Deck to life:

One liner or taglines:

“Get hooked on permaculture in just two cards.”

“52 cards of permaculture wisdom — and a few laughs.”

“Twelve years later, the deck that made us look less crazy has a sequel.”

“The Purple Deck: beautiful, useful, and slightly bonkers — like permaculture itself.”

“From Paul Wheaton’s brain to your hands — The Purple Deck Kickstarter is live!”

This is Paul Wheaton's 16th Kickstarter!

When you’re bonkers about permaculture, you might seem a bit crazy to your friends and family.

Twelve years ago, we came out with a deck of Permaculture Playing Cards.
The idea was simple: give these decks to people as gifts so you seem a little less crazy.

And it worked.

People loved them so much that they kept asking for another deck.
So we started a long list of ideas, over a hundred in total, and chose the best ones to bring you something new:
the Purple Deck.


Why It Works

Here’s the magic: You hand someone a deck, maybe that cousin who thinks you’ve lost it because of your bizarre gardening techniques. They open it up, pull out two random cards, and spend about seven seconds looking at each.

That’s all it takes. Two cards. Fourteen seconds. And suddenly, they’re hooked on permaculture.

Each card is designed to spark curiosity and share one fascinating slice of the gardening, homesteading and permaculture world, from rocket cooktops to willow feeders, from forage gardening to cleaners you can eat.
