Re: Is it time to stop selling to the EU? (GPSR regulation)

This would apply to any card producer who sells in the EU or imports into the EU. “Any goods made available in the EU.” So wouldn’t this apply to Lorenzo, Lotrek, Jocu, etc, etc as well as all of us who import?

I’ll keep reading but this seems overburdensome.

Re: Pied Piper by Wondercraft (ill. Russell Gray)

Good news on timing. We are quite a bit closer. Sending sample tucks, cards, and most add-ons to Chris Moyer next week. He’ll take pictures in the coming week or two. I will need to use the pictures to finish the campaign page and video. The page is pretty much ready except for putting in pictures. ...

Roughly mid February now. Waiting on one last sample tuck from B&N in Italy then Chris Moyer is taking pictures. We will be able to launch then.

Re: Pied Piper by Wondercraft (ill. Russell Gray)

Nobody questions that RG is a talented card designer but looking at he faces of the 3 courts above and I find it off-putting that they all have the same expression It’s supposed to represent the sadness that the townspeople felt when the Pied Piper led their children away as retribution for not bei...

I forget. Did we pay for shipping through the campaign, or not? I swear I backed something recently that said the shipping would be on us. Because I got levied a $44.72 customs brokerage fee one delivery. Deck is great though. Parroting what others have said; this is definitely a DoTY contender for...

Re: Jazz Riff by Wondercraft Cards (ill. John Battalgazi)

Thanks for the positive feedback on the deck! I’m so glad you like it!

The booster pack feedback is also appreciated. This was sort of an experiment on my part and I’m glad we did them. I think in the future we will keep it to 2 images per card though.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention on the shipping rates. Take a look now and let me know if you have any questions. We already use EasyShip (similar pricing as Pirateship) but our connection and integration were not working. That is fixed now, and you should see lower shipping rates for inter...

We shifted things in 2024 so we could release Forged and Jazz. Pied Piper is now slated for early 2025. Waiting on samples from Bosciero and Newton for photographs. More to come!
