Hey, there.

So... I'm a heavy backer of your stuff, Lotrek. Heavy. (Not only that, but I spend a lot of money on backing your stuff! Ahahahacoughcough.)

That said, this looks amazing, but I do hope you'll wait until you've fulfilled Icons before launching this one.

Please? Pretty please?

I second that. Would love to see the ICONS and Blackmass delivered before any new decks. Save my wallet for a bit longer.

Waiting on the 4 remaining ICONS decks and black mass!

Agreed.

Get the backlog of decks shipped, then start fresh with Black Gold. I think we'll all feel a little better about investing more once we get some decks in our hands. ;)

Launching now was a tough decision: It's far from what I want to do but as things turned out, I must do it now for a series of reasons, personal and family ones included.
I also want to have finished and shipped all my pending projects by the end of July. That's why I'm doing a 7-day campaign which will also limit the number of decks (I'll print only the decks that will be sold during KS).
With ICONS shipping beginning on Friday and Black Gold KS campaign launching probably on Wednesday, I know that some people may be hesitant to get Black Gold too.
I understand and respect that, but I really cannot delay it more. I've decided to risk it and launch now and some backers may also have to decide if they want to risk it. I mean, in case they're wondering whether I'm a genius scammer or not :lol:

@misterharmanko:

Yes, this Wednesday the 29th. Not 100% decided yet, only 99%

I'll offer both Silver and Gold editions and the price will be around $40/deck plus shipment by registered mail . (1 deck is $7, 2 decks is $10 etc). I was thinking to set a limit to the decks produced but as the duration itself will be limited, I don't expect huge numbers. However, if we reach a certain number of decks sold before the end, I have prepared an upgrade that will leave nobody disappointed. ;)

Sorry you have to launch this now because of assorted reasons including personal and family. You might want to state that in the campaign and show any finished cards (test run) proving that you're not a scammer and that ICONS SACRED was delivered.

I'll be ~$90 bucks lighter in my wallet so please hold ICONS #3 for a while if you can. :)

So with these new cards, they look like the original Grotesk deck but with gold and silver backs? Kind of like a reserve Black Mass?


Black Mass = only foiled faces, normal backs?

Black Gold/Silver = normal faces, only foiled backs?

What's the black stock like and what about the finish? Is it comparable to Icons Sacred in any way? The stock on that is nice, but the finish is not very slick, the cards stick together.

Will they also be sorted by hand like Sacred? Hopefully no missing/duplicate cards this time.

$40 is getting pricey but the art is amazing.

The stock is quite different from SACRED. It's thicker and it has a velvet feel. The finish will be totally different from ICONS, too. Much more slippery if not very slippery.

Yes, they'll be sorted by hand but very very carefully and the decks will be unsealed. You will be able to open and check without destroying anything (just in case). I'll probably use the paper band sealing method I used in Venexiana Gold to keep the lid firmly closed.

This is getting out of hand Charalampos Sandorini (my new thing will be guessing your name ;) ).
At least calm the waters a bit after this project... though I know you will definitely just go ahead and make Hyeronimus the first ever deck with 15 different types of hot foil on the back and front on pearlescent black stock with airsofa rainbow finish, hand made in a remote island in Greece by fifteen orthodox monks who are expert card flourishers during the autumn equinox and whilst planets are in perfect alignment and a supernova hundreds of billions of lights years away sends just enough radiation to give the foil on the cards a special sparkle...


So...yeah, please just hold off a bit on that new project for now. :?

Several things are not quite right!

First, the topic's title changed to fulfillment completed, since Black mass is not yet shipped it should had stay "fulfillment underway"!
Second, you said that the launching of the new decks is to be 29th JUNE, but in the image you posted above it says 29th of JULY...

You're right about the topic's title... In my mind Grotesk Macabre and Black Mass are somewhat separated but they shouldn't. Thanks.

With the Launching date. You know. The stupid mistake of the day... :roll:
