Set hopes for Australian friendly release time to: OFFICIAL

Wow, just wow! I am very excited to be for the first time on the front end of a Lotrek release.

Nice looking preview ... need to start saving money

I am no longer skeptical.

Skeptical about a Lotrek-produced deck? GTFOH! (and you're hereby BANNED from any and all future Lotrek projects *tears up membership card* ) Lotrek, buddy, can I have what would have been Timmargh's deck?

Luckily, I had my membership card laminated long ago. And I'll fight you for the deck!

While they fight, I pick up the laminated card and run away...

A detail that is interesting to know is that the stock I used is very thin yet sturdy and the deck is slightly thinner than the "Silk" deck.

Very interesting indeed. Makes me wonder how they will feel when played with... After the look and the feel remains the question of the sound they'll make while manipulated

You come to a crossroads... do you
(A) Turn left towards the unnavigable Marshland Fens of Bradius
(B) Turn right towards the desert Valley of TwoPiece’s Dry Wit
(C) Continue on into the Impenetrable Forest of Undelivered Natalia Silva Pledges

Your only equipment is: A Wisden’s Almanac from 1988, a carpenter’s pencil and a spork

I choose (D): with the carpenter pencil I write Greek stamps on my belly and send myself home... To the Merry low lands of Lotrek postal anticipation !

Actually these will be released in parts so that all people will have their chance to get a copy (or a brick )without setting alarms to a brutal time. Definitely 2 different Time Zone releases, maybe three.

We shouldn't forget that Aussies too are human beings!

I regret to inform you that this off-piste decision has resulted in you being charged with misusing a carriage service to menace, harass, or cause offence. Do you wish to ...

(A) Plead guilty and spend the next 30 months in jail (22 months with good behaviour)
(B) Put up a spirited defence that results in no jail time but requires your immediate deportation
(C) Opt immediately for deportation but you're banned as a purchaser of Lotrek's decks for 10 years
(D) Relinquish your entire collection of decks, to be sold at auction, the proceeds passed on to OLAF to fund your repatriation

In that case, can I request that the release time be ... 9/10am Eastern Daylight, preferably on a Sunday, Wednesday or Friday before the end of July, while I'm working night-shoots?

I opt for (B): my defense is so spirited that I am deported to Greece and join Ἥφαιστος and learn how to masterfully craft playing cards... That I send to you with stamps picturing philosophers. Many years later, I tell my grandchildren how I cheated my way from the low countries to a Greek volcano while riffle shuffling the latest Ἥφαιστος deck I helped producing in his dungeon.
I still miss the greasy fried potatoes of my youth, but honestly, that was worth it.
Kalispera!

Whaddaya say to a couple of rochefort 10’s raised in your memory? *plays Taps*

If they are at the temperature of the room... I bless you from beyond!!!! *Cries silently while remembering the taste of that heavenly beer*

PS: you have a very specific (and outstanding) knowledge of Belgian brews. It's my favourite... To drink in a chalice shaped glass

Lotrek wrote:This is just ink on black stock. You have never seen such printing on playing cards before!

I'm intrigued/curios. I don't see dimples, which I assume is due to being a prototype? No foiling on this deck or are there some to come? Questions over questions...

*fist pump*

I DID IT FOR THE LOLZ!

This is how the Test print looks like. There is only gold foil on the backs while the "Official" edition will have another 2 foils: Red and black. The test print (111 decks) will be available for preorder only as a set with one official edition deck at a discounted price.
They will ship together on the 13th of July.

I need a Rochefort 10 now

Looks awesome! Kind of has a Run vibe to it, in a good way of course:

Let us know when we can preorder. Pricing would be nice. Or just take whatever you need from my card! As we all know my fingers will never be as fast as Pierre! Lol

This is the back with one foil (black) missing. Registration is a bit off as this was just a test to see the colors.

Is there a new Lotrek deck? Fable hummmmmmm I had not noticed

I need 12 beers now ...

Holy crap... Any idea on the launch price?

@Vasta: Indeed it has a "Run" vibe but the inspiration is completely different: It comes from a piece of a 19th century traditional Greek garment I bought from an antiquarian a few months ago.

Nope. You ripped off Run.
Obviously kidding.
