These would be professional clay chips; not plastic, not silver, not brass.

Any other thoughts on poker chips or other Liaden Universe(R) related products?  Tell me in comments.

I'd pay a pretty penny for a deck of cards from the Surebleak casino, with the Tree-And-Dragon on back.

*Especially* if they were Liaden cards, as shown to Anne in LOCAL CUSTOM. But the cost of designing them might make that prohibitive. :-(

Googling around, I see sites that offer customized decks for between $4 - $20 per deck, depending on the degree of customization and the size of the order.

Personally, I'd probably pay up to $25 for a nice Liaden set. Still, there is the whole "bother" factor of creating it, and I'd MUCH MUCH rather pay that kind of money for a new Liaden novel!

That would be a collector's item, indeed, since the Emerald is owned by Pat Rin, not by Korval, so the Tree-and-Dragon deck would be, um, right out.

That's about it. The same with the Liaden "tarot" deck idea we'd come up with a few years ago. It would cost more to produce than we could reasonably hope to recoup in sales.

They would be cool, though.

I don't know about everyone else, but a plain Terran deck of cards with a Surebleak or Emerald Casino logo or a Tree and Dragon on the back would still be a wonderful collectors item from my perspective. It would be easier to use them with the standard 4 suits and A-K values. Better than a poker chip.

YES! A deck of cards would be wonderful...
