On his Dec 2 post, he said all decks would be "sent next week", which would suggest last week. He said they would be sent from Greece, so I dont know if we will get a shipping notification, but I have seen anything yet.
We are talking about Lotrek, right? I love him and all...but. Yah know...

Personally, I like Lotrek decks for what ends up in my hand, not how long it took to get into my hand.

I understand your statement but am I the only 1 here thats starting to think Lotrek is a consistent-blatant liar when it comes to dead-lines/statements made# A bullshitter as we call it back home

Next week has somehow turned into next month. guess he needs another months payments to come in before he can ship out basically anything.
Silence is your killer Lotreky.... time to "get your shit together" another year, another dollar ya!

I didn't order any extra decks at first. A gold/gold deck is what everyone is getting for free. I'll order a silver/gold deck tomorrow so I'll have one of each. Once again, hopefully soon before the end of this coming January we'll have the official versions.

If I read my Lotrek tea leaves, I think these might actually be released soonish. I am going out on a limb and actually hope they might get shipped out sometime next month. I can't put my fingers on it, but I guess it is the multiple promises and such. No promises though. This is Lotrek. Maybe we should start a pool on when they will get shipped. :lol:

I ordered two extra Redemption decks. That seemed a no-brainer. I think we were limited to adding only 2 extras. I think I pled to add another one or 10, but got no response. It was crazy watching them slowly get sold while I waited for a response. That radio silence (to fling yet more money to Lotrek) was much worse for me than waiting for his next update....or even actually receiving the decks....what was that definition of insanity??? Ah, love is blind. :D

Probably not too many people didn't get or read the email. I went ahead and just got one of each.

I have multiple screenshots of all the patreon rewards so I'll have to start crossing stuff off to know what is what.

We finally have a date: On Tuesday January 3rd at 3:00pm UTC cancel your meetings, say no to family and friends, quit your jobs and come over at Decking Around Youtube channel to get bored by seeing Lotrek drawing from scratch the missing court for the GOLDEN RULE deck: The King of Hearts!

can someone explain what this means

"After a 12-month Patronage in addition to the Silver Patron's tier rewards you will get 2 copies of "Patrons" Playing Cards: A deck designed and printed exclusively for Golden Patrons. A super rare gem for your collection which will be developed and finalized during the year.

did this happen and what copies are "Patreons" Playing Cards? silk red?

this is becoming over confusing to say the least

golden rule deck ?
redemption series
codex -is a kickstarter now??
demask -paying for??
harvest -is this even happening still?
golden oath royal tuck/players ed. ??
royal silk red/purple ?

what the hell is going on here?!
can we get a breakdown of whats what & what ISNT going to cost us more 💰 ffs.

bc this is how i'm getting this/ Opcc designs & produces "rare" decks on the backs of monthly patreons payments & then sells back the decks he makes to patreons "exclusively" when ready to ship or weeks but mostly months away from shippign

am I getting this right? someone pls explain for all of us that DONT understand

Sure, it means that you're pledged to the "Golden Patrons" tier, which entitles you to what you have written about above, plus all lower tiers, which includes the Patreon posts and 2 copies of one of the year's decks in a color variation that is specific to Patrons.
did this happen and what copies are "Patreons" Playing Cards? silk red?
I would suggest you read the Patreon, everything is outlined pretty clearly over there. The description you wrote above is exactly what it sounds like. "A deck designed and printed exclusively for Golden Patrons". It's an exclusive deck guided by patron feedback.
this is becoming over confusing to say the least
The July 10th, 2022 post outlines all of this quite clearly.
golden rule deck ?
redemption series
codex -is a kickstarter now??
demask -paying for??
harvest -is this even happening still?
golden oath royal tuck/players ed. ??
royal silk red/purple ?
  • Golden Rule is the Silver tier reward for year 2. It will feature Mirrorink, a new reflective ink that Oath is very excited about. Color variation specific to patrons.
  • Redemption Series is a way to thank year 1 and 2 patrons for their patience. "For each month's delay in the delivery of the Patreon rewards, Patrons from the first 2 years will be getting 1 free deck!" Remember how the first version of Royal Silk Purple was sent out as "Royal Silk Test Print"? Redemption Vol. 1 is the Red version. Full details regarding Redemption is found in like the last 3 Patreon posts (excluding the most recent one). Foil color may vary based on whether you ordered extras.
  • Codex will be a kickstarter, yes.
  • Damask is detailed in the latest Patreon post. Looks like it will be a re-released 2.0 version. I imagine like Moresque was for Arabesque.
  • Radio silence on Harvest for a while now.
  • Golden Oath royal tuck/players ed??? I've got no idea what you're talking about. Golden Oath is foil-centric 2017 release. Idk.
  • Royal Silk Red is the patron-exclusive color variant. Royal Silk Purple is the public release.

Is OPCC meant to cease making their decks available to the larger public because they have a Patreon? Patrons are entitled to the rewards outlined in the tiers to which they have voluntarily pledged. Every new public sale comes with notice, an advanced window and a patron discount. You make it sound like you are forced to buy, but by no means are patrons compelled to purchase decks that are not included in the Patreon rewards. I have no idea why this would be an issue. Lotrek is notorious for delays, and if this is your first experience with Oath, I get the frustration. They have attempted to compensate patrons for waiting by offering Redemption, the gift deck, the foil stamped box, and something tells me more gifts are ahead. Please remember that "when announcing Oath's Patreon I [Lotrek] said the main purpose was to create an environment for the development of decks that are so demanding in terms of artwork and research that wouldn't be possible for me to do without your help."

Lotrek's communication does leave something to be desired, but he's gotten better for sure. Having a Patreon has forced him to improve on that. :D

As for the delays, I would suggest checking out his interview on Deckin Around. It really helps give some idea on just what makes the things he does with foil so difficult and time consuming. Start at min 10 for his breakdown on the hot foil process. He talks about it for 10 - 15 min. You can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ckYmnV9B2o

I will follow up after 2 weeks of no movement, just like my earlier Icons deck.

Right, Lotrek just explained via Patreon update that he decided to cello all the tucks as well. But since it's Lotrek, of course it's not a straightforward task. The tuck was bigger than normal and the cello wrapping service provider needed to make modifications. So he'll be bagging them instead like he used to in the past. Should go out Monday.

Go check your emails. Also, he says that we'll have both redemptions shipped out in Jan 23! :D

I have cut back on Patreon and now only do Oath, Stockholm 17 and Jocu. Will be considering against at year-end if I will cancel more or not. Right now the only one I am considering to keep is Stockholm 17.

I'm completely out of the loop on this and lost track of things entirely, but it's probably worth asking for others' benefit as well: I've been a gold patron since day 1 and not ordered any additional decks, what decks should I be expecting? I realise it's probably 8 decks I'm due, but could those who've paid closer attention than I just indulge my curiosity please?

Check the Patreon post from July 10th, 2022. Add to that the Redemption decks. That's it.
