NOLA is one of my favorite places in the world and one of my favorite places I've ever lived so I will be allll over this one.

Looks like it's reflecting something out of picture to me. You can see the separation of the cards on the upper right.

Happy to have my dogs immortalized in the Onsen deck.


That’s an awesome honour. Is this a Patreon honour? If so what tier were you.

It was a pledge option on the Kickstarter.

The deck, not the book. And if it's not there anymore, I imagine it sold out.

Yeah, the deck. Other items in the store have a sold out label on them , so it wasn't clear.

Did the Anthology LTD go up in the store? I don't see it listed.

14 months between posts in this thread. How different from the Lotrek Patreon thread :?: Lorenzo posts frequent updates and works in progress for his patrons. He is also consistent in communication about and delivery of the annual reward package. You know exactly what you are getting, no need to fr...

I finally received my QALIF Playing Cards, and all I can say it.... SPEECHLESS Everything about this deck just speaks beauty: it is as if the old craftsman of the past has been given the power of hot foiling, and they produce exquisite playing cards fit for the royal sultan! Just phenomenal!!! The ...

??? Evil posted pics, Piazza said he got his, TGW provided link to buy from him What made this pop into your head after 8 months? Today was the second time recently that I was looking through old campaigns and came across it. I do assume most got their decks but because of the comments there I was ...

I get the sympathy and patience some want to show towards absent creators. At this point though, it's been years for a few of them. In this highly connected world I am out of sympathy for their lack of communication. I don't think there are any valid excuses for this long of an absence.

Working full time for a year to design the deck? I guess it was working on it periodically throughout a year and 2 or more decks that aren't designed exactly the same? Kudos to Jack for fixing things. His artwork is very intricate and detailed. Much more so than any other deck creator I'm aware of....

To add to that, Jack hadn't made any money or been paid for his work on the campaign. Alex received everything. Jack was going to get stock to sell on his site as payment. He also until now, hadn't received any personal copies of the decks. So he had nothing at all to show for over a year of designi...

I'm digging the heck out of these.

You take opening your decks to the next level.

A serial killer seems an odd choice for a playing card series....

So I did finally open my Qalif and it does have issues. The previously mentioned "scratches" on some of the cards, but not all or even close to a majority. There is some issues on all the cards from the cutting process, some (Very) light scuffing along the top and the edges are all pretty ...

I generally find metallic inks disappointing anyway - it is like the poor man's foil it really is, but its better than no metallic element. We will have to disagree on that - I generally find plain ink better than most metallic We will, and thats fine, not everyone has to like what I do. Even with ...

...yeah. If you don't want to read the patter, just glance over it and move on to the card details and pictures.

KS Intro Hey there, wonderful friends! 🌟 How’s everyone doing? I hope 2025 is kicking off on a high note for you! If not, don’t sweat it! Let’s sprinkle some joy with a magical Charmie kisses! 😸❤️💋 It’s just what we need to bring back those good vibes! I know the start of this year has thrown us so...

Hmm now the question is "Why do they think you are in need of an escort" Do they see a nerdy card collector who needs to discover there is a lot more fun to be had with other 'corts' ;) LOL Definitely not that. I'm in a long term relationship and while I'm definitely a geek, I don't look ...

Uhhhh... I just got Qalif in the mail....and it came packed with about 14 explicit ads for escort services....what the hell......... Haven't openend the deck yet to see it's condition, will do that later. Awkward package to receive at work though. Edit: well, mystery solved, office prank, they someh...

I was gonna say these are pretty similar to the Kings Wild decks, but those are VHS instead of cassettes. And the courts are very different. This looks fun.

That coin is cool as hell.

My only complaint would be the lack of openness regarding the issue with the "scratches". It probably would have been better to inform everyone beforehand (and then maybe reduce the price for additional decks slightly). Well, maybe it's my perception of things but I tend to consider as fl...

I take major issue with what Lotrek said here and I'm a bit surprised no one else is. When these issues with Qalif were reported my assumption was that this might be news to him amd he would need to investigate, hence the delay in saying anything. But no, he's said here that he knew all along, as ea...

Man, what he did with the edge colors really just doesn't look good. Baffled by that choice.

Yeah, the curling decks was another issue that affected both LPCC and EPCC. I have multiple Kings Wild decks that were printed by EPCC that had that issue and a few decks from TWI that were done by Legends and had the same issue. IIRC both print companies were using the same print facility so that m...

I can't speak to EPCC, but I kept reading about creators having lots of issues with communicating with Legends. With them just not responding back for long stretches of time.

The one consolation for me in all the hubub with Cartamundi closing is that all the foiled decks I've gotten so far that were printed with WJPC were outstanding, Goldsmith especially. Better than they would have been with Cartamundi, imo. It's just too bad using them seems to come with a bunch of ex...

I'm not going to pretend I have the slightest grasp on the complexities of production and shipping on a global scale (never mind the new wrenches that have been thrown in the gears). I know the market also took a huge hit when Cartamundi exited. But the screw-ups by WJPC have reached a level that I...

This part is just weird.
