Re: GROTESK MACABRE
I hope so too Oscar, but he might also be busy finalizing the printing of the Ambassador players decks and making the Ambassador signature tuck boxes.

Re: GROTESK MACABRE
I think he mentioned that the bronze stock he had was rare and had very little of it which is probably why there's not a lot of bronze Grotesk and the first version of Liturgy decks.Bruno wrote:Was this stock the last that was available, or something ?
Hope these are waiting for me at home .... !

Re: GROTESK MACABRE
I'm quite sure he has some extra bronze stock. The one that is rarer and out of production is the Black/Bronze, on which he printed the Liturgy Misaligned (V1) and the Liturgy Treasure...Bikefanatic wrote:

Re: GROTESK MACABRE
As far as I remember sms69x is correct.
The Black / Bronze stock was the rare stock which was used for the Liturgy Treasure & Misaligned decks.
The Grotesk Bronze deck was printed on the Bronze stock as a test for a different deck (Sanctus??) to see how it would turn out.
As the Grotesk printing plates were already available this is what Lotrek chose to use for the test.

Re: GROTESK MACABRE
No announcement anywhere of it being shipped yet, but Lotrek said he would ship it out right after Black Gold. Hopefully he clarifies soon. As I noted before, I haven't seen him post anything in the last few days so he could be working on sending the files for Ambassadors to EPCC and the Signature edition tucks, or getting Inverted Inferno ready for shipment. Or both simultaneouslyPrincessTrouble wrote:The Signature and Inverted Inferno editions haven't shipped yet, correct?

Re: GROTESK MACABRE
I'm still waiting on all the seconds decks I bought from the website, when will those be shipped?
Also I was sort of told I'd get a loooow number on the inferno deck, 51 is somwhat low but not really what I was expecting.

Re: GROTESK MACABRE
Hey guys, glad to see people already getting their decks.
Regarding the test decks I did something really "smart": I forgot that I should print tuck cases for these and realized it only a couple of days before shipment. As I didn't wish to further delay it, I sent the decks and the test print will be shipped by the end of next week when the tucks will be ready.
I'm a bit lost as my wife is very ill for quite a few days now and I have to take care of her. That's why I haven't yet sent the tracking numbers...

Re: GROTESK MACABRE
First, and most importantly, my best wishes for a speedy recovery to the better half of Team Lotrek. Even a seemingly minor illness can quickly become serious.
These photos are magnificent and exceed my expectations. Wow!
Lol on the test decks. You forgot that the decks needed a tuck case? You need your wife back to full strength again my friend.

Thank you! She's already much better. She had to take hard medication which caused side effects making the cure more painful than the flu itself...shermjack wrote:Wishing your wife a speedy recovery, Lotrek! Nothing is more important than one’s health! Everything else is secondary

Re: GROTESK MACABRE
I took my photo on a black sweater on my bed. It curved a bit. However, a bit of color saturation and it really turned out nice. But someone would have to work hard to make those decks look bad. I managed to pick up a Bronze deck the other day (Yeah). When my test decks come in, my Grotesk collection will be complete. If they come in before the end of March, it will also mean that Lotrek will not be behind on any Kickstarter projects he has with me! Given his frantic pace of development, production and fulfillment, he should make his next deck a Whirling Dervish theme. Something he is so familiar with.

There’s not many people that can make red leather look cool. That signature deck is impressive.

Re: GROTESK MACABRE
Finally opened my package last night and these decks are EXCEPTIONAL. I really like how the colors pop out from the red/black colors! Another pair of decks I don't regret buying!
We still need Sherman to come up with Lortek carat cases because they are getting thicker and don't fit the normal carat boxes!
