Re: Fable by Lotrek
A detail that is interesting to know is that the stock I used is very thin yet sturdy and the deck is slightly thinner than the "Silk" deck.

Actually these will be released in parts so that all people will have their chance to get a copy (or a brick )without setting alarms to a brutal time. Definitely 2 different Time Zone releases, maybe three.portcullis wrote:Set hopes for Australian friendly release time to: OFFICIAL

Re: Fable by Lotrek
I opt for (B): my defense is so spirited that I am deported to Greece and join Ἥφαιστος and learn how to masterfully craft playing cards... That I send to you with stamps picturing philosophers. Many years later, I tell my grandchildren how I cheated my way from the low countries to a Greek volcano while riffle shuffling the latest Ἥφαιστος deck I helped producing in his dungeon.portcullis wrote:I regret to inform you that this off-piste decision has resulted in you being charged with misusing a carriage service to menace, harass, or cause offence.

Re: Fable by Lotrek
I'm intrigued/curios. I don't see dimples, which I assume is due to being a prototype? No foiling on this deck or are there some to come? Questions over questions...Lotrek wrote:This is just ink on black stock. You have never seen such printing on playing cards before!

Let us know when we can preorder. Pricing would be nice. Or just take whatever you need from my card! As we all know my fingers will never be as fast as Pierre! Lol

This is the back with one foil (black) missing. Registration is a bit off as this was just a test to see the colors.

Re: Fable by Lotrek
@Vasta: Indeed it has a "Run" vibe but the inspiration is completely different: It comes from a piece of a 19th century traditional Greek garment I bought from an antiquarian a few months ago.
