UC 2014 Annual decks: "Grotesque" by Lotrek

[Mike Ratledge]

From what I can make out, it's same deck different tuck right now. The stretch goal will be two separate decks. Like the original intention with Venexiana.

True, as far as I know, the faces won't change - except perhaps the exact coloration, perhaps? We haven't discussed it, but -it's his ball, I'm going to let him sink the shots. I do know that the intent is exactly as you describe - to switch from the "Plan A" which is as it is now, to have two different tucks - into "Plan B" at some as-yet unspecified stretch goal; and that is to make it unique, with a different back, and then you have to distinct decks as opposed to two tucks with the same cards inside.

I'll post an update later today regarding all this stuff (O.E, L.E, number of decks printed etc)

Thanks Mike, Volant and Sher, you're awesome!

I missed the early birds but BACKED anyway! Can't wait to add this to my collection. Love the limited deck too!

[Gareth]

Being 75% there after 1 day is a great achievement! Shows the power of this community ... not to mention Lotrek's great design (of course )

Good interview with Lotrek earlier this week re: the UC deck.

Yep, partially my fault: I had this originally in "Site Announcement" and "Global" so it showed up no matter what forum you were in, I left it sticky so it would show up at the top if "New & Custom Decks" only, now. (and merged existing topic there into this one)

[Lotrek]

I just posted an update in KS page regarding the "Original" and "Limited" editions.

[vixentorgames]

Those are staggeringly beautiful cards. Pledged for both decks.

[HoverDonkey]

Registered here just to say "Coooool" in response to the Grotesque deck. Pledged within an hour of launch, that's how keen I was - went for 2 decks of each.

I'm the proud owner of your Venexiana decks, housed in your gorgeous hand-made wooden box, so for me the Grotesque deck was a no-brainer. Really happy to be a part of it!

Peace.

[Mike Ratledge]

Cool, see - I told Lotrek his following would overwhelm us if we're not careful. UC members consistently went in there and got 2 out of 3 of the higher EB tiers, as well as the highest tier - all within the first dozen pledges. The single decks lasted for about 30 hours, I think? (EB I mean)

Happy to have you, HoverDonkey!

I attached a couple of graphics that haven't been posted on this side before, the Queen of Diamonds and the King of Clubs from "Grotesque" decks.

If you didn't get an early bird then try next year! I'll be glad to add both decks to the growing collection. I'm already anticipating the UC 2059 Annual deck.

Lotrek,

I really enjoy the Venexiana decks. And these? Wow. Totally digging what I see. Pledged for three of each on these, as I did for Venexiana, and sir, I can't wait to see what you produce in the months and years ahead. You've got talent.

Good art adds joy to the world. Thanks for all you do.

I got a message saying you needed a change or different add on for Grail? All are available only in pairs, or the split 50/50 brick - well, I guess that's pairs. Oops...

Thank you Rousselle, such words are true inspiration for me. I really don't know what else to say...

[Mike Ratledge]

Funded in just under 40 hours! Amazing...

[Bikefanatic]

I wonder what the add-ons will be........

[Widdee]

Funded in just under 40 hours! Amazing...

Thanks to all of you who worked on making this happen!

[lolo]

Congrats for funding !

[Lotrek]

Thank you all! What's happening right now with the deck is beyond belief for me. I was sure that "Grotesque" will perform well but no way it would be funded in 40 hours!

[Lotrek]

Congrats for funding !

Merci beaucoup monsieur Lolo!

[Lotrek]

I believe they'll be cool! I was planning to contact some people here for things I have in my mind but I didn't expect the deck to get funded in the weekend!

[lolo]

Congrats for funding !

Merci beaucoup monsieur Lolo!

Wow ! In french ! It's like a gift ! So proud i am

J' adore France. Sur tout le sud (Languedoc- Roussillon) et le fromage de chevre! Avec une verre du Sauternes bien sur...

You're talking about cheese, aren't you?

Omelette du Fromage!

Yes Eoghann, we're talking about goat cheese! I'm a real goat cheese junkie!

Hey, a Dexter's Laboratory reference!

Ahahah, that's funny - and good! I'm a barbecue junky myself, seems to find me every other weekend, but then again I'm a Senior Master BBQ judge for both South Carolina BBQ and Kansas City Barbecue Associations. God ost er godt på alle sprog. Godt, bedre, bedste! (også godt langsom brændt svinekød). There no word but "gril" in dansk for BBQ, and it just doesn't mean the same, so "slow roasted pork".

Hehe, glad you caught it. Chicks just get shaky at the knees when I whisper that to their ear.

Can't say I've ever had goat cheese. I've had leche de burra though. Milk from a female donkey, whatever they're called.

Looks like we need to organize The Great UC BBQ cook off. I make some mean baby back ribs and steaks that'll make you see double rainbows all the way.

How about the "UC annual cookbook"?
