I haven't received any redemption decks yet, even though I was first and second year patreon. I'm no patreon anymore this year.
Did anyone who isn't a patreon this year receive their redemption decks?
Tried contacting Lotrek but haven't got a response yet.

I've been a patron from the very beginning and I haven't received anything lol, not even tracking info.

The Patreon rep that has been helping me with the overcharge issue emailed me yesterday to let me know that her last day with Patreon would be today. I’m a little worried that I won’t get anywhere with the person that will be taking her place.

Thanks everyone, that clears it up.

It's really annoying not getting your decks the year you're a patreon. I don't mind waiting, but if you're not a patreon anymore there's no way of staying up to date with the progress.

I mean, I can read the posts here, but it's not the same

kinda don’t know what
sorry guys

Do you have links to where he said those two things? Only thing I can think of is that's referring to different decks. I just don't remember the context

"OATH STANDARD PLAYERS is ready. And when I say ready, I mean ready. Cello wrapping and all."

Then we get:

02-05-23
"We got the finished tuck boxes on Friday and they are not good. Printing has serious imperfections and we rejected almost all! It was the only time I didn't supervise the production and this happened... Look at the broken lines on the front of the tuck box:"

Those two statements contradict each other no? How can boxes be "ready" but then printing of them were bad..

The first quote is for the public Burgundy and Navy versions. The second quote is for the silver Redemption version.

EDIT: This was in a response to a post that was removed.

Please do not post pictures from Patreon in public. I'm wondering what you're confused by after the clarification that your two quotes are regarding different decks entirely. The silver cards were ready and so were the tucks. When the tucks arrived, they had serious imperfections so now there is a delay in packaging Redemption 2.

Some items, Lotrek ships himself along with his partner. Packaging thousands of decks is not an easy feat. He's been churning out more lately than he has in the last two years, so I would cut him some slack. Being on top of his updates may not be his strong suit, but I don't question his integrity.

lmao what a disastrous comment

It’s obvious this guy doesn’t know what’s going on lol

Keep doing what your doing Lotrék

Cheers,
KW

Now let's have some Scooby snacks.

Looks like Oath Burgundy and Navy are already showing up at people's doors in the EU. I just saw them on eBay and the tucks look phenomenal.

Woundedcorner is handling shipping in the US, which may have started today as some are getting emails. I have not received an email just yet.

I got a shipping notification from Wounded Corner this morning. I wish that the Silver Players Oath Redemption Stories II deck also came along with it.

Is this an actual shipping service? Or just a nickname for a company that doesn't package decks well?

Wounded Corner is an online playing card store that has branched out into deck production and fulfillment

woundedcorner.com

They also have their “dinged and damaged” discount section - I imagine the name came from an early focus there

I got my Oath standard decks today. They're not numbered.

I got the incredibly rare 20/22

Received my Standard decks (red and blue) in Seattle, WA, USA. Opened one of each. Very nice.

Standard Oath Burgundy and Navy

Nice joker design. I like it a lot. Now I have to wait for my redemption stories II deck to hold them in hand.

Mine arrived yesterday. I really like these. I don't have the original, so was glad to see a players edition. A nice unexpected touch is a red/blue double backer in addition to the blank card. I feel like they handle reasonably well out of the box, if a bit thick/stiff (compared to thin-crushed stocks - which I have been fiddling with more lately. This probably makes this stand out more to me) Love the tuck and everything about the cards visually.

another month with no show cards at my dorr when redemption v3 for another delay?


complete joke

another year with no show Lotrek at my dorr when redemption salad tossing for another delay?

complete larseny

Lotrek isn’t Bicycle nor Budweiser

As an outside observer with nothing on the line, if it were anyone other than Lotrek with these delays, everyone would be raging, and it would be justified. I get that many are confident that he'll eventually deliver a great product. And I'm sure that will be true for those that love his decks. But the delays have grown weeeeell beyond the level of absurd. If Gio hadn't delivered a main Patreon reward in 2 plus years, I'd be demanding my money back. Same for Jocu with Inner circle.

Did everyone else have two ad cards in the red deck and three in the blue deck?

A reasonable approach. Most of Lotrék's fans are beyond reasonable though, haha.

My red deck has 1 blank gaff, 1 red back/blue back gaff and 1 Lotrek ad card. Blue deck has 1 blank gaff, 1 double backer gaff and 1 Lotrek ad card.
