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.

Very interesting indeed. Makes me wonder how they will feel when played with... After the look and the feel remains the question of the sound they'll make while manipulated :twisted:

You come to a crossroads... do you

(B) Turn right towards the desert Valley of TwoPiece’s Dry Wit
(C) Continue on into the Impenetrable Forest of Undelivered Natalia Silva Pledges

Actually these will be released in parts so that all people will have their chance to get a copy (or a brick :mrgreen: )without setting alarms to a brutal time. Definitely 2 different Time Zone releases, maybe three.

We shouldn't forget that Aussies too are human beings! :lol: :lol: :lol:

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. Do you wish to ...

(A) Plead guilty and spend the next 30 months in jail (22 months with good behaviour)
(B) Put up a spirited defence that results in no jail time but requires your immediate deportation
(C) Opt immediately for deportation but you're banned as a purchaser of Lotrek's decks for 10 years
(D) Relinquish your entire collection of decks, to be sold at auction, the proceeds passed on to OLAF to fund your repatriation

In that case, can I request that the release time be ... 9/10am Eastern Daylight, preferably on a Sunday, Wednesday or Friday before the end of July, while I'm working night-shoots?

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.
I still miss the greasy fried potatoes of my youth, but honestly, that was worth it.

PS: you have a very specific (and outstanding) knowledge of Belgian brews. It's my favourite... To drink in a chalice shaped glass :)

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... :)
You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.

This is how the Test print looks like. There is only gold foil on the backs while the "Official" edition will have another 2 foils: Red and black. The test print (111 decks) will be available for preorder only as a set with one official edition deck at a discounted price.
They will ship together on the 13th of July.

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

@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.
