This set was so much fun to put together, and it involves so many different people from all around the globe, which makes it really special to me personally.
I have always loved the Small Greek Key mold. It's been my favorite ever since I grabbed some Ponce de Leon chips a couple years ago. So when I saw a set of about 600 of these almost two years ago, I snagged 'em from @demonnic . Soon thereafter, I grabbed a few barrels of blank SGKs from @Benjaminotaur . I still needed some fracs, and when @ukas offered to sell me his rack of black and [nearly] two racks of orange SGKs (along with pointing me to an eBay ad for another barrel of black), I was ready to proceed with some milling. Milling's not my bag, baby, and with our most prominent chip miller out of commission, I turned to @pokercole , who did a great job milling these chips with a very fast turnaround.
Then I needed to finalize my design. I have had the Kraken theme in my head for quite a while, and while the true origin of the Kraken is Norse mythology, it is commonly associated with Greek mythology, so these chips were destined to fit the theme. I went to @mattross1313 with my general idea, and he created the perfect Kraken monster, and he found two perfect fonts for "the Kraken" name and the "fear the deepstack" slogan. Originally the slogan was just "fear the deep", but after the design was finalized, I came up with the "deepstack" idea to tie in the poker lingo, bounced it off a few PCF members here, and @mattross1313 was nice enough to make the change for me.
@Wifey and @Gear produced the labels, of course, and they turned out perfectly. I went with the textured matte labels. Again, a super-fast turnaround.
The metal pirate poker chips, which can be found here ... https://pirategoldpoker.com/collections/shop ... are a little goofy, but they have a Kraken dealer button that fit my chip set perfectly. So I bought ten of them to be used as card cappers for my guests.
Finally, @TheOffalo was kind enough to allow me to add onto his Rancho Agave dealer button and cut card group buy with my custom items, and my set was complete! More pictures will be added when I get a little time, but for now you get a splash pot!
