Good idea, thanks! I messaged him asking if I could get the missed discount as a credit to his store as there are other items I would like to get.

Alright!!! Finally my Campaign of the year came to me today!!

2. The book: So thick! So heavy, so nicely done and radiating quality air from the packaging to the final items! Man i love these books and now i must admit that these books absolutely worth the $100 price tag on KS addon!!! I had plan to let my spares go but maybe not anymore lol, i will keep them all!!!

3. Damage/Error: THere is a lone single errored deck that was damaged from production, weirdly how it can pass with such bad condition but i am happy nonetheless, i am sure Lorenzo will have no problem replacing it for me!

Summarise my pledges:
- QuarterMaster Pledge x3
- Full Gilding upgrade on all decks
- Addon 2 of each standard 3 decks (Solis/Lunae/Astra Polaris)
- Addon all 3 Astra Signature
- Addon 6 Mini QuarterMaster

FINAL RESULTS!!!: How many QuarterMaster one would need in their collection?
There is only one correct answer:
BEHOLD The FULLMASTER!!!: P/s: These are for my own collection, i don't have plan to part with them any time soon unless some oddballs like me enough to propose a trade with some rare older S17 decks Until then i will hold on to my FULLMASTER!!!!

Bradius, you've officially been put on notice!

@kasuma99, are you missing a Polaris deck in that group shot at the top?

Also... no Intrepids?

Haha no missing, it's because i added on a pair of gilded without the extra astra.
Also no intrepid included because i was too excited with the KS stuffs alone without considering the 3x intrepid gilded + 3x intrepid standard from Patreon lol

No kidding! Wow. I didn't have enough time to get ONE quartermaster tier! Of course I was on a futile effort to get the one with the key, but still...

Congrats x3 on those orders.

A worthy award winner!

My biggest honour!!!

OK. I'm going to call a close to my bet. I got the email from AusPost this morning. Who had Tuesday the 14th?

June 14? The latest guess was May 27

Eric Lee wrote: ↑Mon May 09, 2022 6:04 am I'll go for May 27th.

@portcullis: Glad it's finally nearing the finish line for you!

So May 27th, Eric Lee appears to be the winner - is that official? Last call for correction should we have missed a later guess before I PM him for shipping address tomorrow….

Should that be correct it qualifies for two bonus decks as well

Fine by me. Congrats on the new swag big fella. I only request photos be uploaded when apropriate.

I only request photos when it's *inappropriate*, but your mileage may vary.

That reminds me... in Europe, do they have kilometerage instead of mileage?

Lol. Most of us, yah.

Aaaaand just for [censored] and giggles, AusPost actually decided to deliver before the long weekend. I live a couple of hours from my delivery address and I'm travelling a bit for work, so it might be the end of the month before I get home (cos home is where your Mum lives, right?). Excited to get these finally.

Have you confused Australia and Austria again my dude? Can't speak for Europeans but it's kilometerage here. Metric pretty much all the way, except in pubs when ordering a beer, oddly. (but that's a whole 'nother confusing story)

Woah! I actually won. Thank you . Been a very busy past month and my 2 packages STILL haven't arrived (Cartes Moureau, Shadows & dust). I'm giving it till end of June before I declare it lost and see if the 2 creators will reship. So this kinda makes up for it.

Further to my point re [censored]-up shipping times to this corner of the planet: 5 weeks to get from Chicago to Melbourne, 3 days from Melbourne Airport to PO Box ... ~115 miles away.

Huge thank you to the awesome fellow that hooked me up with this one - which, fun coincedence, even came with my Oath patreon backer number.

Nice! Crazy about the matching numbers to your Oath sub. What are the chances

42 also happens to be the answer to the great question - arguably the greatest number

That's why it is my number, haha.
And because you just have to add a zero to make it 420 .

Finally got around to opening my gilded Eye of the Ocean Lunae and OMG! Love everything about this deck! Here's a quick look at the deck in action:

Now, THERE is a review that is short and to the point! Nicely done!

The gilded Lunae deck is my favorite version. I just love the teal gilding.

This is literally my first post on this forum, as I’m pretty new to playing card collecting but I was curious if anyone else felt that the numerals are too small? I’ve been researching this deck all evening after stumbling on it while looking for just the right “nautical” themed deck and I couldn’t help but be surprised no reviews have taken issue with the size of them.

jordn613, welcome to the forum.

Well, I think you do have a point that the index fonts are a bit small. However, the style does work with the deck. I guess most of us are really caught up more with the art and story of Lorenzo's deck to be worried as much about it being a highly functional deck on card night. Lorenzo took it much further though with his House of the Rising Spades Faro edition which was designed as an older style deck which had no index. Lorenzo is also a very highly respected playing card artist within the modern playing card collecting community. All that being said, yeah, the index lettering is small. I still love the deck and am very happy with the way it is myself.

Art is very subjective. There are quite a few great nautical themed decks. If this one isn't to your taste, there are a number of others. I seem to recall there is another collector out there that focuses on just nautical themed decks.

Perfectly put @Bradius. For me 👁‍🗨 is an art deck. I'd concur on the observation the indices are small and might cause trouble playing games but as I have a myriad of perfectly playable decks, I couldn't care less.

@Bradius well, might explain why I kinda regret of not upgrading my decks with the gilding if I know I am not going to heavily use the Eye of the Ocean decks

Well the indices are small because… if ya follow the lore of EotO, the cards are pieces of a map, thus the playing cards are merely a coverup for the map

Others have said almost exactly what I would have said, so all that remains for me to say is: welcome to the forum; I hope you enjoy it here and find enough reason to come back regularly.
