Re: GROTESK MACABRE
I just want some clarification. So late September you're sending out:Lotrek wrote:Yes, bronze decks too.
Inverted Inferno is following right after these.
-Grotesk Black Gold & Silver
-Grotesk Bronze
-Liturgy (Version2 green and Version2 red tucks plus a free 1st version green deck)
-Grotesk Inferno
all together in one shipment?

Re: GROTESK MACABRE
Wait. We haven't finished yet. In a few days I'll break my leg, then we'll have my car stolen full of the decks, then we'll have "Ambassadors" issues with foiling, then a major change in the Hieronymus decks that won't come out as I wanted them to and finally you'll get all the decks after 4-5 years in a huge box. Eheh, that's the way to make money nowadays!Justin O. wrote:This was all just a huge scheme to make shipping cheaper wasn't it. Genius.Lotrek wrote:Exactly.

I am so envious misterharmanko! Sadly, I didn't back that campaign. Still, that had to set you back a few pennies. One can never have enough limited decks of Lotrek's though.

I used to think I was over-doing it by ordering 2 of each deck...

Re: GROTESK MACABRE
Got my decks well packed in perfect condition on friday
Beautiful and shiny as expected.
Silver, Gold and Inferno are very thick, more then Ambassadors.
Can't wait to get Inverted Inferno & Signature aswell.
Thanks Lotrek.
btw.... I thought that i get the Grotesk Test decks with this package, but i guess they will sent along with Inverted Inferno ?
Test decks were on sale May 10th:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ch ... ts/1881949" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I've added all 4 decks to portfolio52.

Re: GROTESK MACABRE
Lotrek, thanks to you, Melania and the rest of the people who were involved with the decks.
Christmas came today and every thing was perfect. The Grotesk Bronze is my favorite out of the 4. I favored the green Liturgy deck over the red one but I like the red one better. Well I'll be ready for the inverted Inferno and Signature decks.

Re: GROTESK MACABRE
I think he mentioned that the bronze stock he had was rare and had very little of it which is probably why there's not a lot of bronze Grotesk and the first version of Liturgy decks.Bruno wrote:Was this stock the last that was available, or something ?

Re: GROTESK MACABRE
I'm quite sure he has some extra bronze stock. The one that is rarer and out of production is the Black/Bronze, on which he printed the Liturgy Misaligned (V1) and the Liturgy Treasure...Bikefanatic wrote:

Re: GROTESK MACABRE
As far as I remember sms69x is correct.
The Black / Bronze stock was the rare stock which was used for the Liturgy Treasure & Misaligned decks.
The Grotesk Bronze deck was printed on the Bronze stock as a test for a different deck (Sanctus??) to see how it would turn out.
As the Grotesk printing plates were already available this is what Lotrek chose to use for the test.

Re: GROTESK MACABRE
No announcement anywhere of it being shipped yet, but Lotrek said he would ship it out right after Black Gold. Hopefully he clarifies soon. As I noted before, I haven't seen him post anything in the last few days so he could be working on sending the files for Ambassadors to EPCC and the Signature edition tucks, or getting Inverted Inferno ready for shipment. Or both simultaneouslyPrincessTrouble wrote:The Signature and Inverted Inferno editions haven't shipped yet, correct?

Re: GROTESK MACABRE
I'm still waiting on all the seconds decks I bought from the website, when will those be shipped?
Also I was sort of told I'd get a loooow number on the inferno deck, 51 is somwhat low but not really what I was expecting.
