if you arent on his mailing list

Thursday 15 Feb at 10:00 pm UTC: 100 decks

Saturday 17 Feb at 01:00 pm UTC: 100 decks

The 3rd and last wave will be announced next week.

EDT is April 2024 and no other details will be revealed
until we ship all orders.

The deck costs €115, shipping included.

he said that patrons took 400 so Im guessing hes added the people who DM'd him today to yesterdays total.

kevork wrote: ↑Wed Feb 14, 2024 12:27 pm I saw stock was at 300 and stuck there for a bit. The progression then went to it updating to 105 and then weirdly going back and forth between 94 and 90, only to then be sold out.

I was watching the drop from the start and saw exactly the same thing,
At first I thought no-one was buying and then when it dropped to 90 decks I thought that was it, sales would slow down.
Next thing I know - Gone

...did he just increase the price already?....

Well, yes. Patrons have different pricing than the public release. Now we get to see the public price. It wasn't increased per se in the way you interpreted it.

Yeah, I had read that as if it was the 115 price for the nest 2 patron drops.

And I am OUT…. Unfortunately, I aint a sultan to afford His Majesty’s decks

Lotrek, Patreon wrote:Those of you who weren't able to get their copy(ies), please send me a DM here. I need to know how many people were left out. In any case, don't worry, EVERY PATRON will be able to get at least one copy, that's something you should always know!

He has accordingly upped the print run to 748 and will include a signed double-back card for Patrons only

I have had some messages with Lotrek when I DM'd him about the mystery III deck. The only non-mystery is how much this will cost. However, I am hopefully in tomorrow. I am still stunned how much Lotrek still pulled in on this. He still has magic pixie dust and can get funded without any real problems. We will see how the remaining decks sell, but I am not betting against Lotrek anymore. Some may want out, but enough want in that Lotrek doesn't seem to be hurting. It is nice that he is trying to give a few extras for Patrons backing Mystery Triplex or III or XXX or something.

I am looking forward to completing my purchase and getting my decks shipped next week....Lotrek time. Where decks sell out fast and get delivered....not quite as fast.

Can someone tell me what the payment options are? Is it just credit card or is PayPal an option?

Paypal was an option for patrons in the US.

PayPal is an option

Thank you, both.

I must remember to log in ahead of time; I nearly missed Eva Red Rose because PayPal kicked me back out immediately after logging in three times.

This got lost at the bottom of the previous page -- please cool it with the personal arguments everyone

It's just the nature of life online and in general. Hypocrites can easily justify their own words or actions while not giving that benefit to others. It's a toxic place where people decide what others are allowed to say or do. Too many Karens not minding their own business.

This forum isn't really a toxic place. Lotrek discussion seems to get more heated than other topics although I was surprised to be attacked in another thread by a poster who asked me a question and then answered it himself. This forum is my happy place so this 68yo blocked his first ever poster (on any forum) - I can recommend it
Lotrek has created a turbulent environment by being so inconsiderate of his patreons (I am glad I am not one) - promises from Years ago not fulfilled is simply ridiculous when he continues to produce other decks

This mystery deck drop feels like somebody will pay 115 eur for a deck and will get it soon and patrons (or former patrons) who supported him since the day 1 and spent A LOT OF MONEY on his Patreon won't receive any reward for years. That is just not fair and it creates such "turbulent environment" (nicely put).

Im really hesistant right now… should I really go for this, even if it’s not CRYPT II

My recollection is that the credit card option on Oath doesn't work, and is limited to PayPal.

Royal Silk was delivered and that was a public release that came before rewards, but those same plates were used for year 1. Looks like Lotrek is doing the same with Mystery III and Year 3 rewards.

Patrons forget that Redemption I and VI are effectively Year 1 rewards, but we're getting final versions that are supposed to be even better.

Then is it possible that this Mystery Deck might be: just some design that has already been done, BUT in all the fancy schamnzy hot foils?

Unless it's Damask 2.0, I don't think so.

with the scimitar on the picture, probably arabesque-ish is my guess.

99% my intuition it wont be , though I am hearing quite a few saying its Damask V2 , but Damask v2 is already announced I dont think Lotrek will put that in Mystery sale

115€ doesn’t seem a bad price for his decks , I mean its free shipping, shipping alone to Asia costs 12€ from him I believe . You can always sell Oath decks too at retail price someone would buy it

This forum has a toxicity to it but that could just be my opinion. There are plenty of 'attacks' haha on this forum and the internet as a black whole. Tell me more about how this forum isn't toxic while telling me you were 'attacked'. How severe are your injuries?

It wouldn't let me checkout until I entered my Patreon under so I just put 0 as I'm not a current patron; I hope that didn't invalidate my order, although I can't imagine that it would.


[Edit] Aaaand they're gone.

Gone already. Wow. I PM'd Lotrek like he requested for those Patrons that missed out the other day and wanted the new mystery deck He actually had an earlier batch set up for us to go in and get.

Thankfully, I didn't have to deal with this next mad rush. He already has my money.

It is sounding more and more like he will not have any trouble selling all 750 decks sight unseen.

Yes it asked me about Patron Number and I just put “1” and it went through. It shouldn’t be asking for Patron Number for public sale perhaps was just a legacy item from the earlier Patron sale. All I could think about was “hesitate and miss out” when it comes to Lotrek limited drops

It should work fine .

On a side note thats a great profile picture, at first I saw only 3 cards then 4 - Red damask, now Im seeing 5 cards I believe the one beneath is Sanctus which looked like a wooden surface initially lol

Well past records are very convincing, especially when Lotrek says this will surpass all . More shocking achievement is Lotrek’s Crypt winning DOTY which most haven’t seen.
