Re: OATH'S PATREON -details

Yes it asked me about Patron Number and I just put “1” and it went through. It shouldn’t be asking for Patron Number for public sale perhaps was just a legacy item from the earlier Patron sale. All I could think about was “hesitate and miss out” when it comes to Lotrek limited drops 😂

Re: Monte Carlo Diffractor (OATH x VXD)

I’ve got nothing but love for the products that VXD releases. They are invariably a very high quality product and I have no complaints with what I’ve purchased in the past. I can’t honestly say I have the same regard for VXD’s business acumen however. I’ve been on the wrong end of “differences in id...

Re: OATH'S PATREON -details

I am really torn on the Patreon thing. I understand fully the allure of having something produced that is exclusive for the Patrons, especially from someone like Lotrek. The cost is enormous though, and am I correct in asserting that the higher tiers would lend themselves to needing to resell a cert...

Re: Hi from Sydney

Hi Sinecure,

I'm from Sydney (Australia?) also. Good to have another Aussie around, there are a few of us here and on the various FB groups, but its definitely a harder hobby to follow from this hemisphere.

Re: Monte Carlo Diffractor (OATH x VXD)

I am definitely interested in what Lotrek will bring to the design. Agree fully. Design was the one notable absence from the diffractor series of decks. Lotrek has this in ‘Spades’ (pun intended). With this amazing tech, and what will doubtlessly be awesome design, delays aside they would have to b...

Re: Metal Playing Card "Coins" / KS

Interesting concept in a field where there really isn’t a great deal that is “new”. I imagine that “shuffling” involves just placing all the coins in the bag and shaking it. This would mean the coins and their colouring would have to be very durable so as not to degrade in quality quickly. I also im...
