I missed what happened. Why the nevermind?
Nobody said anything so I thought nobody cared about the spreadsheet
It was formatted really well. I will create some rows when I have the time, as I am currently at 31 backed projects since March.

@rousselle @any mods what do you guys want to do about access? If I open the sheet, it could get defaced by anyone and we wouldn't know. I prefer to give access to the mods/admins who want access so it's trusted users who can edit it. whatever you decide we'll do

It's October in the Land of the Watchdog List. Let's pay a visit, shall we?

The ol' rousselle mailbox got a little bit of use in September, seeing the arrivals of the Oath Royal Silk Test Deck / Patreon Gift (anticipated for shipment in August '21) as well as the Sketch & Draft collaboration with Randy Butterfield and PlayingCardDecks.com (September '22). I also received the Cuatro Veinte deck, which was originally anticipated for fulfillment in October 2022, so that one drops off the list before it can even be added.

With 2 falling off the list, 1 arriving before it could be added to the list, and 2 others being added, my list holds steady at a total of eight. Y'all's lists certainly include much more, so I do hope you'll post your own watched items here. In the meantime, here's where my own list stands:
  • Stories (March '20) -- No word since David posted an update in mid-May of 2021.
  • Oath Patreon Year 1 (Fall '21) -- As of August 12, "The goal is to have everything ready by the end of October."
  • The Literary Tarot (April '22) -- September 22nd, the Brink Literacy Project posted that there was a production snag (as well as a death in the family), so fulfillment at this point is currently looking to happen in the first half of November.
  • Annihilation (July '22) -- In a post toward the end of September, Dave said GW is running late on gilding, but that GW should be done with that toward the end of October, with fulfillment starting soon thereafter.
  • Memoria (July '22) -- Gio posted in mid-September that we're still looking good for fulfillment in October.
  • Oath Patreon Year 2 (Fall '22) -- As of August 12, "The goal is to have everything ready by the end of October."
  • The Story Engine: Deck of Worlds (October '22) -- In a recent-ish post, Peter said that US backers are likely to see fulfillment in mid- to late-November.
  • Decolonized Tarot (October '22) -- As of the most recent post (early September), we're in the process of production and fulfillment is likely to happen in October.
So, that's a total of 8 non-retail playing card-related projects that were originally anticipated to be fulfilled at some point up through this month (October '22)... for me, at least. I realize I'm not backing as much as I used to, so my list is certainly much smaller than many others. What are you all seeing? Please add the projects you are tracking to this watch list thread.

When these artists/producers run Kickstarter projects that I back, I will list those, just like I do with Jackson, Will Roya, or Lotrek for that matter. However, I do think that Lotrek has established that he is not running his shop like a traditional retailer, and therefore his offerings are just as difficult to keep track of as any Kickstarter or other non-retail offering.

As I point out every month: being on this list isn't a bad thing. It just means that the project is nearing (or has passed) the originally anticipated fulfillment month, and this list serves as a mechanism for keeping track of how fulfillment is going.

Of all of the projects on my list above, only one is currently in the watchdog "doghouse," and that's because the project creator has stopped communicating with backers. That said, David / Vanda stays on the Watchdogs list for as long as Vanda continues to maintain a storefront and occasionally announce sales to promote the availability of their inventory for purchase. As long as that's the case, Vanda remains active, and it's entirely reasonable to continue keeping a watchful eye out for any possible developments. (Whereas, there's currently no point in watching for activity from Natalia Silva, insofar as she has disappeared from view of the playing card community.)

Here's to another month of cards. May your mailboxes be happily full, and your collections overflow with playing card goodness!

I'm happy to have access.

I'm also very lazy.

After I update my list, I need a day just to recover.

Whew!

As always, a couple more to add:
  • Monte Carlo Diffractor (April '22) -- September 24th update claims that the "Chinese factories" have committed to a January/February completion date, and that VXD should receive everything by February/March to start shipping. I'll believe it when I have the product in hand, I've lost any faith I ever had in this company.
  • Gods of Norse (July '22) -- Everything was shipped out in late September, many backers in the US have commented saying that they've received their decks. Should be any day now.

Well, I missed updating the Watchdog list for both November and December. That's 14 months ago in dog months! Let's see if we can do a little better for the New Year and wrap up 2022 *before* January of 2023 gets underway. :)

Since the beginning of October, a few KS projects that had been previously tracked on the Watchdogs list have landed in the rousselle mailbox, including: Annihilation (originally anticipated July '22), Memoria (July '22), and The Story Engine: Deck of Worlds (October '22). This last project, by the way, was not a conventional deck of poker cards; it was a creativity deck, which I pick up from time to time.

That's three dropping off the list that had last been updated at the beginning of October. In the meantime, three projects originally anticipated to ship in November get added to the list, while the only project I was anticipating for December shipment -- Randy Butterfield's Euchre vol. 4 and Lone Hand Decks -- has arrived before I managed to update this list. As for projects expected to be fulfilled in January '23, Gio's Heartless project has already arrived before it could be added to the list, and there's only one other one on my list that was anticipated for January, so that gets added to the list.

With 3 falling off the list, 2 arriving before they could be added to the list, and 4 others being added since my last update, my list only grows by one for a total of nine projects being eagerly anticipated in January. Y'all's lists certainly include much more, so I do hope you'll post your own watched items here. In the meantime, here's where my own list stands:
  • Stories (March '20) -- No word since David posted an update in mid-May of 2021. However, he has logged onto KS a few times this past fall (most recently on November 11th), so who knows? Maybe he's contemplating a return before too long....
  • Oath Patreon Year 1 (Fall '21) -- I just received a tracking number for my soon-to-be-shipped thank-you-for-your-patience decks, so that's cool. Not sure at the moment when the actual Year 1 decks are supposed to ship, but these should tide me over while I wait.
  • The Literary Tarot (April '22) -- After various setbacks, this project is currently anticipated to begin fulfillment in January '23, per an update posted on Dec. 6th.
  • Oath Patreon Year 2 (Fall '22) -- See the update for Year 1, above.
  • Decolonized Tarot (October '22) -- In an update posted a week ago, materials are still en route except for the books, which are still being finalized before going to press; these will ship out separately, after the decks and other items. They'll post again when they have firmer dates to report.
  • Ad Fontes: Renaissance (November '22) -- Surveys have been sent out. Shipping expected to begin in early January.
  • WAVES First Edition (November '22) -- Per a note in the comments section of the most recent update, Asad says EU fulfillment is likely "after Christmas." US fulfillment is awaiting sea freight.
  • Lord of the Rings, Vol. 1 (November '22) -- I've already received my non-gilded decks. Just waiting for the gilded decks, which are being shipped out separately once they are ready.
  • VARIUS (January '23) -- As of mid-December, Montenzi posted that Cartamundi was expecting to be done with production in early January, but that time frame is "not final."
So, that's a total of 9 non-retail playing card-related projects that were originally anticipated to be fulfilled at some point up through January '23... for me, at least. I realize I'm not backing as much as I used to, so my list is certainly much smaller than many others. What are you all seeing? Please add the projects you are tracking to this watch list thread.

As I point out every month: being on this list isn't a bad thing. It just means that the project is nearing (or has passed) the originally anticipated fulfillment month, and this list serves as a mechanism for keeping track of how fulfillment is going.

Here's to another month -- no, YEAR -- of cards. May your mailboxes be happily full, and your collections overflow with playing card goodness! Happy New Year!

I was trolling the forums and noted bdawg made a comment on Stories, so came to check it out. David made an update? I must have missed it in my emails....sure enough he did. I hope he has figured out how much more shipping is now. If not, he is in for a huge shock. I wish him luck.

Okay, we're a little bit over a week into February. Let's just pretend we're closer to the beginning of the month, okay?

Here's what's arrived at the ol' rousselle mailbox so far in 2023 from the Watchdog list:

The Eye of Kukulkan - Mysterious Mayan Tales project arrived before the end of January even though it wasn't originally anticipated to be fulfilled until March of 2023, so that one drops off the list before it could even be added. W00t!

And that's it.

So, with 1 arriving before it could be added to the list, and 1 tangentially related project being anticipated for February fulfillment, my list only grows by one for a total of ten projects being eagerly anticipated in February -- wait, belay that. I'm adding one more: Oath's "Standard" decks went on sale for delivery this month; may as well at that one to the list as well, because... Lotrek! So, that's a total of eleven on the list.

Y'all's lists certainly include much more, so I do hope you'll post your own watched items here. In the meantime, here's where my own list stands:
  • Stories (March '20) -- After an early January post to let us know that production was underway, Dave followed up with an early February update with photos of completed decks (specifically the black variation) and news that production continues.
  • Oath Patreon Year 1 (Fall '21) -- I've received my first shipment of redemption decks for January; a recent update indicates that redemption decks #2 will be on their way soonishly. I've seen differing reports that Year 1 decks may be fulfilled by the end of this month or maybe March...?
  • The Literary Tarot (April '22) -- An update a couple weeks ago said that they were still a couple weeks away from the decks arriving at the ports, and then they would have to clear customs before ultimately being distributed to backers. Sooo... maybe February?
  • Oath Patreon Year 2 (Fall '22) -- Different reports indicate either fulfillment by end of February or perhaps sometime in May of this year.
  • Decolonized Tarot (October '22) -- As of January 21st: "Popping in with a quick update to let you know that decks are almost ready to be shipped out!"
  • Ad Fontes: Renaissance (November '22) -- Per an update from February 2nd, fulfillment has commenced!
  • WAVES First Edition (November '22) -- In an update posted yesterday (February 8th), US fulfillment has begun.
  • Lord of the Rings, Vol. 1 (November '22) -- I've already received my non-gilded decks. Just waiting for the gilded decks, which are being shipped out separately once they are ready. Per a recent update, gilded decks are currently expected to be sent out sometime in March.
  • VARIUS (January '23) -- Per his January update, Montenzi reports decks have been produced and are on their way to New Zealand. Fulfillment expected to commence by end of February.
  • Oath Standard (February '23) -- Orders placed. Awaiting news.
  • Caution: Playing Cards Sticker Pack (February '23) -- As of the very end of January, funds have been distributed and materials have been ordered; experimenting with creating the stickers has commenced.
So, that's a total of 11 non-retail playing card-related projects that were originally anticipated to be fulfilled at some point up through February '23... for me, at least. I realize I'm not backing as much as I used to, so my list is certainly much smaller than many others. What are you all seeing? Please add the projects you are tracking to this watch list thread.

As I point out every month: being on this list isn't a bad thing. It just means that the project is nearing (or has passed) the originally anticipated fulfillment month, and this list serves as a mechanism for keeping track of how fulfillment is going.

Here's to another month of cards. May your mailboxes be happily full, and your collections overflow with playing card goodness!

PS: You'll never guess who logged into her KS account just a month and a half ago. I sent a kind note wishing her well and mentioning the hope that she might one day return to the fold by producing some long-overdue decks....

Wow! That's a rare sighting indeed. Probably to back other projects than to do anything with her projects. Best not to get any kind of hope up that those projects will ever fulfill. But who knows, maybe your kind note will move her to eventually get those decks done! :ugdance:

Welcome to March of 2023!

Here's what's arrived at the ol' rousselle mailbox in February from the Watchdog list:

Ad Fontes: Renaissance (originally anticipated for fulfillment in November '22), WAVES First Edition (also November '22), and Oath Standard (February '23, thereby arriving on time!).

So, with 3 falling off the list, and 3 being anticipated for March fulfillment (well, I'm adding Lotrek's redemption deck for February as well as for March), my list holds steady for a total of eleven projects being eagerly anticipated in March.

Y'all's lists certainly include much more, so I do hope you'll post your own watched items here. In the meantime, here's where my own list stands:
  • Stories (March '20) -- Dave's previous update was posted February 6th, and a comment he posted four days ago says to look for his next update soon, but he did mention that two more production items remain before final assembly and fulfillment commences. He'll be unlocking the backerkits soon for anyone who wants to add the new items to their order.
  • Oath Patreon Year 1 (Fall '21) -- I've seen differing reports that Year 1 decks may be fulfilled possibly by the end of... March? However, it's been over a month since I've heard any news on this front.
  • The Literary Tarot (April '22) -- As of the end of last week, stock is anticipated to clear customs and arrive at fulfillment centers soon, and for North America, shipping surveys will likely start going out in a few weeks.
  • Oath Patreon Year 2 (Fall '22) -- Different reports indicate possibly fulfillment by... sometime in May of this year?
  • Decolonized Tarot (October '22) --Per a comment posted yesterday, "we are hoping you will receive your deck by March or April at the latest."
  • Lord of the Rings, Vol. 1 (November '22) -- Less than a week ago, Jackson posted that the last few items (those that involve the gilded decks) should be shipped out within the first two weeks of March.
  • VARIUS (January '23) -- Surveys were sent out a week ago; look for fulfillment to commence soon.
  • Caution: Playing Cards Sticker Pack (February '23) -- As of two and a half weeks ago, design work is making steady progress.
  • Oath Redemption Deck vol. 2 (February '23) -- Last we heard, tuck boxes looked less than ideal, so waiting for these tucks to be reprinted before shipping can begin.
  • Oath Redemption Deck vol. 3 (March '23) -- I'm not aware of the current status.
  • Escape Velocity (March '23) -- Surveys have been sent out; they are awaiting the finished product from Cartamundi and then fulfillment can begin.
So, that's a total of 11 non-retail playing card-related projects that were originally anticipated to be fulfilled at some point up through March '23... for me, at least. I'm not backing as much as I used to, so my list is certainly much smaller than many others. What are you all seeing? Please add the projects you are tracking to this watch list thread.

As I point out every month: being on this list isn't a bad thing. It just means that the project is nearing (or has passed) the originally anticipated fulfillment month, and this list serves as a mechanism for keeping track of how fulfillment is going.

Gotta add the following:

Artist Playing Cards (November '22) - Per last update, cards should finish printing by March and be delivered by end of March/beg of April.

Under the Moon (Jan '23) - Cartamundi dun goofed, the cards of 300 gilded Moonrise editions somehow became glued together. Replacements should be completed by end of March, so I'm assuming beg April for fulfillment.

Here are the ones I am aware of from my list:
  • Botanical (v2) (Jan '23) - This one is a mess. Same creator as the copyright infringed Royal Warriors project, who has historically used campaign money to fund his previous projects like a ponzi scheme. He either doesn't have the product or doesn't have money to ship them.
  • Cthulhu by Overhand (Jan '23) - Due to holidays and funding arriving later than expected, production began later than expected. Add-on items had arrived to designer and production is chugging along.
  • Cafeto (Mar '23) - No updates since initial funding on Oct '22
  • Eve: Limited Edition (Mar '23) - Shipment arrived to Gambler's Warehouse with 250 decks missing, suspected thievery. Approximately 3 month delay as they reprint decks.
  • Mortal Steel (Mar '23) - No significant updates since the deck funded. I anonymously requested an update from the creator as the last update was in January where he was discussing still designing Aces. March is highly unlikely.
  • Steak & Wine (Mar '23) - No updates since December regarding surveys. Producer has had a great history of delivering his decks. I anonymously requested an update from the creator.
  • Military Pin-Up (Mar '23) - Fulfillment is going as planned, expected to ship out early March.
  • The Curse and the Crooked (Mar '23) - Tuck boxes printed. Estimated arrival in spring 2023.
  • Escape Velocity (Mar '23) - Surveys were sent out end of February. Cartamundi continues production.
  • P52 Nazo Nazo (Apr '23) - Jack continues to complete the artwork and puzzle boxes. There is little to no communication with Alex, but Jack assures us that the project is continuing along. Unclear when these are expected to fulfill.
  • Empty Collector's Box for Composers (Apr '23) - Last update was in February thanking backers for reaching funding goal. Production is to proceed as planned.
  • Silk & Paper Cut (Apr '23) - Shipment expected to begin before end of April.
  • Damokles (Apr '23) - Printing to complete late April, later than expected. Estimated fulfillment in mid-May.
  • Seafarers: Commodore & Admiral Edition (Apr '23) - All deck components completed. Next update is said to include shipment update.
  • Butterfly Playing Cards Workers Edition (Apr '23) - Shipping expected to begin in April as planned.
  • Sardines (Apr '23) - Stacey had posted recently contemplating which tuck box to make. She is now asking backers to respond with which version they would like for their tuck.
  • Neptune's Graveyard (Apr '23) - Fulfillment expected to start late April. Backers with gilded decks should expect ~2 months additional wait time.
  • Wine Cards (May '23) - Proofs were returned with errors on them so the artist had to make changes. Creator mentions he is not certain the effect this has on the timeline.
  • The Successor Playing Cards (May '23) - Fulfillment expected to begin end of April, earlier than expected!
  • Raven Black Dusk (Jun '23) - Shipping is expected to begin early March.
  • Eminence Exquisite (Aug '23) - Latest update has a detailed breakdown of production. Estimated fulfillment continues to be August.
  • House of Seven Gables (Oct '23) - Latest update was a thank you to backers. With expected October fulfillment, we will likely hear more updates in the future. Nicolai is surely to deliver the decks.

It appears above that red is more of a possible trouble alert (or evident/announced issue) rather than lateness

I'm less concerned about the timeline provided if the creator is providing concrete updates, etc. The colors are based on context beyond the anticipated fulfillment timeline. I figured the coloring would help with easily seeing which ones are of concern and then reasoning behind it.

A few more that I don't see listed.

Chakravyuh- last update in early February. cards in production. They estimate late March for shipping.

Palmistry- last update a few weeks ago. Everything is done except the gilding. They estimate shipping by end of this month.

Lighthouse- Shipping now.

Nightdreams and Daymares- Surveys sent out. They should be ready soonish. Legends has apparently not been easy to get responses from, so they don't know exact dates. Everything else is done, just waiting on decks.

Varius- They should start shipping out within the next few weeks.

Caged Bird- Surveys sent. Decks en route to shipping agency. Decks should be shipping imminently.

Bao Buns- no updates since funding in early January. Estimate was April. I expect we'll probably actually get these in June.

Horsemen- These have been very delayed due to major medical issues. Last update was a few days ago though. Mini decks are the last piece.

FLWR Holo- These were delayed a while as the artist is Ukrainian and was escaping the invasion. Last update was in December and cards went into full production then. No updates since.

Four Continents- Pledges without any gilded decks have shipped. Pledges with gilded decks are expected to ship late March/early April.

Blind Tiger- No updates since the pre order ended. Alex is clearly dealing with something pretty serious and I hope he's ok. I hope things improve for him soon. I'm also confident they will all eventually ship. There appears to have been no movement on any of his projects in the interim.

C.A.R.D.S.- Funded a month ago. Estimate is August.

G Deck- Funded in late January. No update since. Estimate is May.

Sea Monster's Maze- No update since funding in December. Funding goal was very low.

Sushi Cats- Funded in December. Survey sent in January. No updates since. Estimate was May which is still possible.

April. 2023. These are the times the try men's (and women's) souls.

Here's what's arrived at the ol' rousselle mailbox in March from the Watchdog list:

Lord of the Rings, vol. 1 (originally anticipated in November of '22) -- remember that my main decks had already arrived, it was just the gilded that were late.

So, with 1 falling off the list, and 3 KS projects being anticipated for April fulfillment... I just realized that I should add Lotrek's Royal Silk Purple edition to this list, too, so make that 4 items being added to the list, so my list grows by three to a total of fourteen projects being eagerly anticipated in April.

Y'all's lists certainly include much more, so I do hope you'll post your own watched items here. In the meantime, here's where my own list stands:
  • Stories (March '20) -- Dave's most recent update (March 23rd) declared that BackerKits would be reclosed by the end of March, and presented a detailed timeline for the remainder of the project showing that fulfillment is currently anticipated to begin at the end of April.
  • Oath Patreon Year 1 (Fall '21) -- I don't think I'm getting all of the e-mails / messages regarding Lotrek's statuses, but the long and the short of it is that I don't know the current status of this one.
  • The Literary Tarot (April '22) -- At the end of March, a mention was made in the comments section that they are still trying to resolve an issue whereby most of us were overcharged for shipping, and that needs to be resolved before shipping can actually commence.
  • Oath Patreon Year 2 (Fall '22) -- Hell if I know.
  • Decolonized Tarot (October '22) --An early March update stated that health concerns still persist for their crew, but really, we're going to get these out to you. So... no idea.
  • VARIUS (January '23) -- as of March 30th, Montenzi anticipated that fulfillment in the US was on track to wrap up on Wednesday, 4/5, according to GW (US fulfillment.)
  • Caution: Playing Cards Sticker Pack (February '23) -- A recent update says these have all been shipped out. I received shipping notification... but with no tracking information. So, I have no idea where my stickers are. Hopefully, just by posting this here, I'll see the stickers arrive tomorrow. :)
  • Oath Royal Silk (Purple) (February '23) -- I'm picking February as an arbitrary date; I don't really remember when this was supposed to ship out. Anyway, a recent e-mail that I haven't received but that was discussed elsewhere on UC says that this is still, oh, 3/4 of the way through production, I think?
  • Oath Redemption Deck vol. 2 (February '23) -- Ummm...
  • Oath Redemption Deck vol. 3 (March '23) -- Errr...
  • Escape Velocity (March '23) -- Cartamundi has provided an ETC for the decks, and Montenzi says to look for fulfillment to be completed by the end of April.
  • Damokles (April '23) -- The latest update suggests that fulfillment will begin soon; Patreon Patron's can expect their Damokles combined with their Patreon shipment for Q1.
  • Romeo & Juliet Tarot (April '23) -- RJ upgraded the boxes, and they are already produced. It sounds like the decks are wrapping up production before too long.
  • Neptune's Graveyard (April '23) -- Will says that they expect production to wrap up and fulfillment to commence before the end of this month.
So, that's a total of 14 non-retail playing card-related projects that were originally anticipated to be fulfilled at some point up through April '23... for me, at least. I'm not backing as much as I used to, so my list is certainly much smaller than many others. What are you all seeing? Please add the projects you are tracking to this watch list thread.

As I point out every month: being on this list isn't a bad thing. It just means that the project is nearing (or has passed) the originally anticipated fulfillment month, and this list serves as a mechanism for keeping track of how fulfillment is going.

Here's to another month of cards. May your mailboxes be happily full, and your collections overflow with playing card goodness!

  • Artist Playing Cards (Nov '22) - Cards were just shipped from USPCC a few days ago. Signed cards will need to go to the designer first before being sent off to backers.
  • Nightdreams & Daymares (Jan '23) - LPCC was lacking in communication but has now been in contact. Cards are in pre-pressing phase. Gilded decks needed to be adjusted due to supply issues and not wanting to push timeline further.
  • Under the Moon (Jan '23) - Tucks were assembled and ready to be shipped to SoCal for fulfillment
  • Cthulhu by Overhand (Jan '23) - An update on April 17th states all decks were shipped and on their way to backers. I have received tracking for mine.

  • Escape Velocity (Mar '23) - Quality control issues were found by Cartamundi and decks are expected to be completed by May 17th.
  • P52 Nazo Nazo (Apr '23) - Puzzle boxes are complete and behind the scenes, I am aware that Alex is in China and some movement is being made. Unclear when these are expected to fulfill.
  • Empty Collector's Box for Composers (Apr '23) - Last update was in February thanking backers for reaching funding goal. Production is to proceed as planned.
  • Damokles (Apr '23) - Estimated fulfillment in mid/late May.
  • Butterfly Playing Cards Workers Edition (Apr '23) - Holographic version and green deck needed reprinting due to production issues and Ondrej's standards. Timeline pushed back as a result.

Is that what happened, Alex had to go to China?

That's last I heard through a friend, although I don't know if that has anything to do with his absence or if it was a more recent development.

BTW, not sure if it was a typo or intentional, but the actual date on Kickstarter given for this is Apr '24. I didn't even notice it until recently and not sure if it was originally a typo or not (I expect it was) but seems like it might be closer to the truth than Apr '23.

Interesting as for me it shows April '23 for all the tiers except Cloud Brick which shows April '24. Odd.

Confirms that as I suspected it was just a typo.
