That is a statement made of pure frustration I hope, as staying in a hobby you no longer appreciate while waiting for a final delivery would be more psychosis than reality. It is as if Lotrek holds you hostage.

Other people nor delivery of goods you no longer desire should be able to maintain such a hold on you.

In this case perhaps you would feel better pre-selling the decks still outstanding at cost, removing the burden that seems to weigh so heavily

Honestly, it will be great when they arrive. Unfortunately, I will not be in this world by that time. So, I will move on past the pearly gates into eternal bliss. Then a few years into eternal bliss I get a package covered in Greek Stamps! The mailman delivers! It is awesome. Heaven is wonderful, so is my Patreon membership. You can't take it with you, but they do deliveries

For those Year 1 Patrons that dropped, Lotrek said in an email that Year 1 is ready! But......one of the custom brick boxes was the wrong size and needs to be reprinted. The correct ones are in process now and will be ready in a few days. Intending to ship this month. Hopefully, this is all accurate, because I am weary of the "few days", "few weeks" estimates. I rather he just wait until he has actually finished and shipped to say anything at this point. The teases have become annoying to me.

Oh, and the Mystery deck will be ready in May vs April......yeah....

Lotrek also made mention of Mystery III’s outstanding awesomeness as samples come off the press…

Honestly, I’m surprised to hear that he is as far along with Mystery III as it sounds.

We are already halfway through April

Yeah, I was expecting next year, despite him saying April. That it'll ship next month ( we'll see) is kind of shocking

"the deck has just entered the production stage".

Not sure that translates to May in Lotrek time but...it happens when it happens.

Ouch, he missed the deadline.... oh welp, at this rate, we will always have second doubt on every dates Lotrek put out

I may be overly optimistic, but I think he's capable of churning out Years 1-3, the mystery deck, and the patrons gift by end of the year. Then he'll be just one year behind. A big jump in terms of catch-up.

I hope I'm right.

Well, I am fairly sure I will see year one rewards by the end of July. As for the rest, well I will not call you clinically delusional. However, overly optimistic? Yeah. Is it possible? Sure. I prefer to just sit back and sing:



I mean we are dealing with someone who is a cross between an artist and a mad scientist.

Oh, he's perfectly capable of doing it, but that doesn't translate to him actually doing it.

I mean, he was capable of delivering year one rewards in year one.... But I appreciate the optimism.

Not a patreon but Lotrek's credibility has to be on the line if he does not deliver this year

Also, can someone post or PM me the email? I didn't get it

Which email? The most recent news was through Patreon.

so slowtrek needs another month and another dollar to ship decks that r complete or not?
why do brick box hold up things doesnt make sense
surprise to see 341 patreons still support him
wonder how many are $1 mnth members

not. the brick boxes only need a few days and he expects the year 1 rewards out by end of month, which are the compete ones. mystery III next month, not yet complete.

mr silence man (slowtrek)
you have 6 more days before may 1st where you collect another $18k+ from mislead supporters 300x$60_min
when you over promise “shipping this month (soon)” and under deliver months later is becoming more of the same problem
trust dis, you gonna lose more supporters if thats what you call them

Lotrek needs to deliver. It is a sad day when I read a post by double_left and he says anything I remotely agree with!

Time to complain about this particular shipment appears to be running out.

Time for Lotrék to amaze me unfortunately as well. At this point I would be genuinely surprised if I don't had to message him to actually get my rewards.

*sigh* no news regarding that Mystery III that he promised to be revealed and fulfilled on April?

Welp… guess his bet is loss. Back to my statement: we might just not believe whenever date he set on, because… as we know him, always late.

I might get dismissed by fans of Lotrek for this.
While I can wait long, but waiting too long is already testing my patience

There actually was this news on it in that patreon update: “[Mystery III] Consequently, the deck has just entered the production stage, which means that fulfillment will be in May instead of April (no surprise here).”

Lol, I read this too quickly, and my first thought was not "Happy Birthday Kevork!" (shame on me!) but, Wait!, What!, Lotrek is releasing decks today!! After a few minutes checking my email, I came back and noticed 1) The year of the quote was 2023, and 2) I already have those decks! What have I become! Oh, and

Happy Birthday Kevork!

Happy Birthday Kevork!!!!!! I hope its a great day for ya

Happy birthday Kevork!

Well, this was certainly a nice surprise. Thank you guys and thank you Gandalf for remembering!

And to think a happy birthday Kevork message can cause brownsl to scramble when it comes to a possible Lotrek release made me chuckle. I can relate to that experience
