Last year I
supported the 2018 Krampus set by Attic Card on Kickstarter, this year they did
a smaller set and was only a 31-day support period and I supported them again
and I just received the cards. I was a little bummed because I didn’t have
anything to post on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day like I have in the past. I
didn’t have anything with a holiday vibe until I got my 2019 Krampus Part 2
pack.
If you aren’t up on your
European folklore, Krampus is punisher of bad children. He travels around
punishing bad children by some severe measures like spanking, chaining them up,
eating them or tossing them in a sack. In some tales he travels with good ole
Saint Nick during the Feast of St. Nicholas. Unlike Santa and his cold milk,
Krampus is offered Schnapps so he has that going for him.
I
will start with the 9 base cards and tomorrow you will get to see the goodies.
What a cool set. In an era where some people are ultra sensitive to every little thing, I feel refreshed to see something like this. It gives me hope that we can one day be able to appreciate old traditions without worrying about being judged. Card #6 is my favorite. Shows that even Krampus needs a little holiday love.
ReplyDeleteI was going to leave a very similar comment, but Fuji said it way better, so I'll just say... ditto :)
