OATH'S PATREON -details

[brownsl]

Always appreciate you all posting pics and continuing to give us former Patreon supporters the latest updates.

Having said that, has anyone in the U.S. received a tracking number email or received their decks?

Thanks

I have not

[kevork]

I haven't seen anyone from the US posting that they have received the deck.

I'm still waiting on Silk Teal, Redemption IV & V.

[Harvonsgard]

Thanks for sharing those side-by-side photos Harvonsgard. From what I see from them, I do like the improvements in the final version. It does look better, even if there is some more bleed. I always consider Lotrek's work to be progressive, with different improvements in his technique over time. I think that is one reason that I like his work so much. You can see his printing skill evolve over time. Honestly, I am pleased with the results you have shown.

No worries at all. I'm always happy to help.
Spot on with progressive. I always wonder if what Lotrék envisions for his decks is even possible to achieve, haha.

Is the golden patron 43.5usd or 39.5usd, it seems my monthly payment amount has changed? (it got increased)

[Evilgamer]

$43.50 if I was to change up to gold according to the page.

I still haven't received anything either. On his Instagram page, I saw a few comments asking about it and his response was that everything has shipped. Maybe there is a mis-communication with Wounded Corner (assuming he is using him again) on timing of shipment? Since he was on vacation, perhaps he thought things were good to go before he left? I presume we will have an update soon since it appears US/Canada has not been taken care of yet.

Oof. Did you miss CourtCurator and the mystery of the Patreon charges/exchange rate saga? Might want to get in touch with them if you have any worries about your charges.

I got two purple Royal Silk's from Deallez today, hurray.

Is this then everything for year 1 patrons or are we still waiting for something? Did we already get the red version Royal Silk (the gift and non-gift versions)?

[Timmargh]

I got one, too. I'm in the UK.

Regular Royal Silk is not part of the Patreon package. We should expect Patrons, Red Silk, the gift deck, and a special box containing them all depending on your tier.

[JacksandJokers]

Received my Royal Silk / Redemption IV & V decks today.

However my Redemption V deck was not my backer number (#15).
I did receive #17

Do any of you have my deck (#15)?
Backer number #17 are you here and do you want the #17 deck?

Thanks,
Simon

Lotrek commented on Patreon that packages should be going out today and Monday in the USA.

It isn’t supposed to change without you making changes to your account. Did you update your payment information recently?

[Bradius]

Mine changed as well. I think they had one of their exchange rate updates, but it seems it is compounding over the old conversion rate rather than going back to the original USD rate and using the new factor! Thanks for reminding me to submit my complaint to those sneaky little (*$#@@!ards.

[CourtCurator]

According to Patreon, they are not allowed to make changes to any patron’s monthly payments even when they update their exchange book. The way they get around this is that your payment method will eventually expire; when you update it, you will have to agree to pay their current exchange rate.

FYI, I am still paying $39.50 for the Golden tier. Although the rates have increased the cost in USD, I have not made any changes to my account.

Also FYI, it seems increasingly likely that they were dealing with a possible internal embezzlement scheme with regard to the glitch in their system that I found. They could not account for the amount I was overcharged; the money had just disappeared. Lotrek never got it, although it should have gone to him. So, If anyone is unexpectedly being charged more without making any account changes, it should raise serious red flags and you need to make some noise.

For anyone interested in practicing the art of patience, all tiers are open until the end of September. The likely to continue longish wait times are ultimately well worth the highest level of perfection that can only be created by the Greek wizard himself. Plus, they come with the added bonus of greater anticipation. Time + money = playing card perfection.

I'm just a bit confused though why we went through an entire year and haven't gotten any indication as to what Year 3 rewards entailed.

Yeah, it’s not ideal, but I can’t imagine we will be disappointed. Maybe I should have said:
time(12) + money = playing card perfection

[Adamthinks]

I like Lotrek, but signing up for year 4 rewards when he hasn't shipped all the year 1 rewards yet, nor has it been said when that will happen os a bit nuts to me. Especially so given the price and how few decks are part of the rewards.

The cost per deck is high but I factor that the money spent is also to support the arduous process to make these decks a reality. Concepts, execution, trial and error, etc.

Year 1 is supposed to ship end of the month. Year 2 in October. Nothing yet about Year 3. Granted these were the latest timelines, but no guarantees can ever be made, of course.

[Strag]

Yeah I've pretty much given up tracking what to expect as part of this Patreon. Will probably stop after this year. Also my Patreon number is completely messed up, I got 144 for Stories 1a, 1b & 4, 145 for 2 & 3 and 276 for 5. My Silk players are both 144. I don't really care about numbers so doesn't matter much to me.

The price doesn't really bother me but other than that, exactly this. That's why I stopped after year 3. He managed to bring greatness to us prior to the Patreon model and I don't see any advantage it has brought me. There're still extreme delays. You still have to vigilantly follow updates to know what's going on. Maybe being a S17 Patreon doesn't help. Lorenzo runs it super smooth. I've learned to kinda expect it like that.

[rousselle]

I still haven't received the final fulfillment of the Silk project. Anyone else out there in the same boat? Haven't received tracking information, either.

Not complaining; just want to know if I'm the last one left, or if the fulfillment is still underway.

Received a mail from deallez last week and received the package on Monday. To my surprise with the Silk Players Teal, I also got the ICONS Redemption Stories which I was not expecting at all.

[Bradius]

I just received my email from GW that it was shipped. Typically, I get the notice after I receive it, so this one is taking a bit long to get. I should get it either today or early next week.

4yrs of monthly payments sure makes it easier to live over there in Greece doesnt it

Thats because most monies goes to towards vacations, reprints and more reprints

Got my decks last week but my numbers are messed up as well

Everyone is in the same boat with the continuous delays with no very much Patreon updates

1 post every 1.5months aint cutting it these days

Same here. No email no nothin

[Evilgamer]

I was late to the party but I ordered a single silk from the patreon page in August, no shipping info nothing, it just showed up yesterday from Greece to the US.

Same here, nothing received and no email saying anything is coming. I also have no idea what I am supposed to get. I will need to go back and check email and posts.

Did the second drop of the Icons Celestial deck ever happen?
What was decided about the special edition deck for high tiers?

[steampunk52]

I also received a tracking email this morning. Usually I will get a notice when GW prints the shipping label. For some reason, this email came much later. The package is now in my city distribution center. Tracking says it was picked up on the 8th and sat in TX until the 12th, so it looks like stuff has been really slow to leave TX after pickup and there is a lag in email notification (at least from my usual experience).

Net, it appears shipping is in progress with atypical shipment notification (based on n=1)
