[Conturbia]

Some new images for you and the date & time of the reveal is set: 1st of June, 20:30 UTC

Awesome work Riccardo. Fresh flavour to the card world.
Loving it.

[Mike Ratledge]

Here's a preliminary card assembled and almost finished, the QoH:

The pre-order is tomorrow at 1830UTC/GMT (4:30PM Eastern / NYC time) on their website http://PassionePlayingCards.com

[Mike Ratledge]

Those of you that want to get up to 4 decks at a 10% discount, the form opens at 4:30 NYC / Eastern time.

I will post a direct link to the form along with a few preliminary graphics here at 4:20. Remember, that won't get you in early. You still have to wait until the booking form opens at 20:30GMT/UTC time.

It us truly a booking form, because you will need to pick from 1 to 4 decks, enter your email and shipping addresses and that's it today. The discount code will be sent by email and will be used when they have the decks around the first week of July, and drops the price from 22€ to 20€ per deck.

Limit 4 decks per person, and they can cancel orders over that to one address or name.

So what's the game plan here? To make them look like Dante sketched the cards as he was making his way through the circles of Hell? Is that the actual finished design?

[Mike Ratledge]

Avernum: reserve your copies here: https://goo.gl/F1X92j

The store on the website will be open after the decks will be in our hands around the first week of July.

You will receive a discount code after your entry will be validated. which takes 10% off the price - limit 4 decks for 20€ instead of 22€

Pretty much, I guess. There is at least one "selfie" if you take that perspective. The direct link to the booking form shows several cards in their final form.

[chunksmyhero]

Double-checking --- I didn't see any mention of the previously mentioned "superlimited" edition is that going to part of this pre-order?

[Eoghann]

Reserved mine. Hopefully it went through. Wonder if prints will be made available? That ace if clubs is cool.

[chach]

So, clicked link, filled out selection, entered address etc... etc... and got a confirmation page. That's all for today then right? CC info entered in later after decks are printed? Just prefer to receive a confirm email than just a web page.

ETA - Guess I should've read the paragraphs above the selections. All is made clear, (bold is my emphasis)

On the store the original artwork and an ultra-limited edition will be sold too.

Oh, another thing, we are not sure we can stop the reservations in time, when the decks are sold out, so please, be patient and wait we process the logfile so that we can send your unique reservation code.

Yes, it is. Well, not sent to print yet, so some minor changes could occur.

Well yes, this deck should be some kind of "artist scrapbook".

I clicked the link a few minutes early and it seemed to work and filled everything in. Then the link went down again until the official launch time. Hopefully my reservation counted!

Yes.. I noticed It's ok

[montecarlojoe]

Sweet! Thanks

One of the rare occasions when Pierre isn't first hehe!

[badpete69]

What? Where?

Yeah same happened here.

Same for me.

The emphasized text is correct, the other items (primarily artwork) will be sold from the website when the cards are ready. I don't think that a decision has been made exactly how or if the ultra limited edition will be available. The artist who designed the decks (Stefan Portino) is also doing the artwork that will be available later. The design is not 100% final, but what you see is pretty darned close to what you will get. As always, if changes have to be made, some things may change slightly.

Riccardo is getting some well deserved sleep right now, but when he is up in the morning (Italy is six hours ahead of us in NYC timezone) he will correct anything that I posted if necessary..

everything is correct
I just closed the form, I'm very happy with the results so far. Right now I want to check some things, but some Avernum deck (not many) will still be available on our store, together with the ultra-limited edition and the original artwork.

Thank you!

[Slavich]

When should we expect to receive a confirmation if we reserved the decks or not?

Riccardo is in Italy, so likely hit bed already. I don't know for certain, but I expect that he will finish up the list tomorrow. He has to generate a unique discount code for each person, pretty sure. I don't know how many more he got overnight, but I guess he has around 50 to send.

I'm sure he'll straighten me out in the morning if I am wrong...

[shermjack]

Just got my deck reservation confirmation from Riccardo!

[Conturbia]

Yes, everything should be completed. I'm generating the code later because I don't want to let it stay in your mailbox for too long. You'll receive another email with the code.

[jsantafe]

Thank you very much, Riccardo!

I am glad everything is working correctly. I was thinking on writting to you, but other members might find the question useful.
I would like to ask you if the decks (I pre-booked 4) can have different namings on them and if the plastic wrapping will be removed to add the name.
Thanks again!

Thank you santafe! Ok the question is not an easy one. As you probably noticed we didn't show images of the "tuck case" because... we are working on something different. It won't have a wrapping and the name (if you'll choose it) will be written direcly on the "box".

I prefer to delay my full answer until I'm sure about the outcome.

[jsantafe]

Thanks, Riccardo! I think I speak in name of all participants saying that we trust in the work you are going to deliver, and I particularly support any license over traditional deck design if it backs the whole project leitmotiv. I am confident this is going to be great, and that "tuck case" novelty can be excellent!

[Collector]

Nice artworks. An interesting concept.

[vasta41]

I just realized that my confirmation e-mail (from June 3rd) said that the decks would be available in June but here we are, 2 weeks into July, and I haven't heard anything. Has anyone else heard anything? Have I missed something?

[jsantafe]

They put pictures if yhe deck on Facebook and Instagram, but I am guessing the tuck is causing some delays. So far, the pics are awesome.
