Jocu - inner circle

[akicer]

any inner circle members get any packages from them in the last 7 or 8 months?

No, they had to switch from cartamundi to wjpc and that's been a whole long process. They send regular email updates, I think their IC decks will be ready in like a month

No packages but they've also been updating us via email weekly lately. IC will be on pause after December until they figure out some things and potentially start it again later in 2025.

We haven't gotten anything in a while. the 4th quarter 2023 package was going to include Green Man -Four seasons, which was going to be made at Cartamundi. Due to the well documented Cartamundi closing, they switched to WJPC. Currently those decks are printed and on the way to Jocu and should arrive to them in about 3 weeks. They need to be gilded still ( IIRC) so they should be ready to ship out in November-December. The main decks for this year were a redesigned Green Man version 2, one for each season with different courts for each. Those are still in production ( though I don't recall if they're in the queue yet). The Inner Circle version will be gilded and foiled, but there will also be a standard version. They are planning a Kickstarter for the standard versions sometime in the next month or so. So we'll be getting 2024 decks in one package instead of 4. Though I don't expect that to ship out till February or March. After that, they're going to pause the club for a year or so and reset.

Yeah I love Jocu and was a founding IC member but I do think this model has perhaps run its course. I litererally have no idea what I was due, what I have received and if I'm missing anything or not.

Anthony is one of the best communicators out there and has always been very accomodating, but I really prefer Lorenzo's model of one big annual package.

Hey all!

I agree with Strag above that the yearly package is the most sensible model going forward, although I can confirm that we will be pausing all subs after December so that we can catch up.

The idea is that going forward we'll have everything designed and ready before starting a sub, that way there is much more room for surprises (or in the case of Cartamundi, disasters)

Keep an eye on your emails where we're updating weekly, but also Ale will be showing some behind-the-scenes work in progress over at Pip Tuck when we can. As you can imagine it's a busy period now ONDA and the IC packages from Q4 2023 are being assembled, so we're getting our heads down on that for now with the weekly emails being our main mode of communication.

This year's IC is Return of the Green Man and culminates with the upcoming KS campaign which will fund the standard decks, whereas the IC variants are the gilded/special versions.

I appreciate there will be a lot of info coming out soon so we're trying to finish off the older projects before overloading people with too much Any questions I'll be happy to answer!
