I just would like to say that I really hope the decks that will arrive (hopefully) will be what Lotrek is telling us they are going to be... After all this time and for all that money... I think it is legitimate to be a little upset! Let it be the last print pleeeease

NOBODY agrees more than Lotrek, that's for certain!

I can't believe I'm writing this... The first batch of decks is already out! These are the plain 2deck pledges (without add-ons, Trial, Demo etc).
Terrible work to find who got what after 1 year and 3 sites involved... Don't do this at home

Wonderful work too, it must be said .... because of your mistakes and corrections, your trials and failures .... and consequently, your intense perseverence.
Terrific.
The stuff of Legend !
I agree.
So do I.
Me too ....
What ?
I missed all that.
Do that again ?

I'll be checking my mailbox religiously during the next few weeks....

What a cool take on the classic illustrations. I like the simple shading, and color choices. It feels classical and modern in a nice balance.

Did anyone receive their deck yet? Unfortunately I missed out on the Kickstarter campaign but I was able to buy a demo edition deck through the UC site last year. Didn't know if the different editions would ship together or separately.

He may be connecting orders and shipping things out now. He mentioned on his last update on how he was going to do something. I wonder if we'll get tracking numbers, which I don't recall getting in the past. Without backtracking, we might get them.

From all the replied and updates, seems like all the decks from ICON/Black Mass/Black Gold Projects are being shipped together. And from the last update, we should have received the tracking number on Monday/Tuesday. I guess there are some issues that's causing more delays?

This is from his last update on July 12:

"Hi all,

This is a quick update to let you know about a little change in plans.

The system "little by little" doesn't seem to work. It's very time consuming and creates a mess with keeping track of who got what. I'm also constantly exhausted and this is very counterproductive. Therefore, apart from the decks that I've already sent, I'm preparing the rest of the packages to be sent all together. I'll be packing all week and I'll go to the post office on Monday and if needed on Tuesday too. Each backer will get their tracking number the same day I'll send their package.

Sorry for this little extra delay...

Thank you,

Lotrek"

I think with so many original decks, the extras that came with buying 1 or multiple decks, secret gifts, and all the TRIAL, DEMO, and Signature decks to sort who gets what Lotrek finally cracked and realized he had to slow down. Add to that he's trying to finish the GROTESK and INFERNO, no new update, he has to be INSANELY busy.

I got my SACRED decks from him so I'm not worried about not getting my ICONS (TRIAL, DEMO, Signature, and extras). I just want Lotrek to be ok.

Damn... Hope you're feeling better, Lotrek. We're all excited about the decks, but don't kill yourself. Heh.

Lotrek..... Nothing is more important than heath. Take it slow my friend. you've fought the good fight and every one here knows it.

Stay well

He said he'll ship Black Mass along with Icons Imperial but that was before Black Gold/Silver/Inferno came about so I guess those may be included. Also I think time is going to linking those 2-3 orders together. This will be the biggest haul for me ever.

When will we receive the tracking numbers? When are you actually going to ship these decks? I'm tired of all these updates for nothing... This is not serious!

I've seen someone said they received their deck. When yall get those, post pics asap.

Boy oh boy am I a happy camper

I was also gifted with these:



I'm sure this was mentioned before but can someone remind me the difference between the non-rounded edged cards and the rounded edged ones?



Thank you, Lotrek!!!

The picture of the card you're holding is from the normal Imperial deck (gold eagle) and the ones below are from the reverse black tuck (silver eagle).

That tuck is magnificent.

Oh boy, now I absolutely cannot wait !

Wow! Finally people are getting their decks!
I sent the last packages two days ago (only a few demo are to be sent tomorrow). I have all the tracking numbers but I'm afraid I'll have to give them on request, eventually. It's a work that is done manually and I clearly underestimated the time I need to match all the receipts with the names...

As for the non rounded cards, they are from one of the print runs that were scrapped. I thought it was a good idea to include these in your packages.

Have to say that double-foiled back is looking f***ing delicious.

I got a rather nice parcel today!
4x icons imperial
1x icons imperial silver
1x trial edition
1x signature edition
2 cards from demo edition (I think)
1 lovely large foil print of the QoH

(I popped the sacred deck in the picture too!)

No demo deck in this package - but I can hardly complain!

Mine's out for delivery, hopefully they get here before I head out! Or else I'll have to wait to pick them up Monday.

Wow. Can't wait to get mine! (Makes me wish I'd been able to pick up the demo & trial editions. Oh weeeelll...)

So excited, looks like I'll be getting mines today. As for the Queen pic, I wonder if it has anything to do with the 3rd deck in the series. .

Which one is the ICONS Imperial Silver? I guess I somehow missed that...

Anyone have a close up of the Trial deck? It's missing from my package.

Btw, I didn't get a print but I did get 4 packets of the rounded & non-rounded cards! This is great since I don't open the sealed decks!

Got mine today. Everything looks even better than expected, especially the Signature edition. I really want to open the Signature, but I'd have to break the string.... first world problems.

These were worth the wait to be done right! I counted all the cards just to make sure they were there. Lotrek can take a breather for now until September comes.

It's the top left deck on the right hand side (sorry about the out of focus shot!). It was a super limited run available on a very limited tier and as part of the 4 deck tier. THe gold and sliver foiling on the back is reversed in this deck.

The trial edition is next to it - (and has trial edition written along one edge)
