Geez Pablo19, how'd you change it to 2 so fast? I got 1 and thought the wait from Lotrek's site to Paypal and back was slow? Good for you!

Reading this I'm so glad I was also able to claim 2. I was stuck at work and had to hide away for a few minutes using work's wifi on my phone to purchase these.

Lotrek: Please can we now have a fancy tuck box to go along with our fancy/rare cards? :D

In a few days, along with the rest of the decks that are finally almost completed. They had the same 7oS problem so I had to reprint these cards, miss the arranged dates with my producers etc.

I like the word "supposed" ! :lol:

Don't know if you've read the latest BLACK MASS/INFERNO update but more problems. Cheaper foil from supplier is flaking off the reprint cards. That means start over again. :( I hope it's just the gold 7's since that's the picture Lotrek posted.

Im not even mad, some people might be upset with all these mistakes, messed up 7 flaking foil. But im just impressed that Lotrek has caught all this mistakes and quickly worked to fix them, makes me super confident that the deck I will eventually receive will be amazing and fault free!

My two cents:

Lotrek has established himself here and beyond 100%. He is a reputable artist who doesn't settle for less than perfect and is true to his word. He also like to push the limits of modern day playing card technology. And when you deviate from the norm, mistakes and setbacks are bound to happen- "no pain, no gain." I have had and continue to have patience with this and all of Lotrek's campaigns because I'd rather receive a deck later than expected that's as close to perfect as possible than a sub-par deck riddled with mistakes a few months earlier. I assume most, given that choice, would agree with me.

HOWEVER I would like to see Lotrek stop doing KS campaigns if he can. I don't indent to assume Lotrek's financial situation but if he can swing it, I'd love to see him have a concept for a deck, design the deck, print the deck, fix any and all mistakes before letting anyone in the world know it exists, THEN announce it and sell it to the masses. That way he doesn't feel as though he's letting anyone down (except himself but that's because he's too hard on himself!) and backers don't have to wait anxiously for months. His reputation and quality of work will assuredly make his money so there should be no fear of creating decks that won't sell. Similar to what he did with Liturgy.

I understand that KS is a great medium to reach many people and even if there's another reason why he uses KS, it doesn't upset me. My idea is just a suggestion and if he continues to release playing cards via KS, I will continue to back them. Having said all that I cannot wait to see Black Mass in my hands after he get's it perfect, which I know he will. As always, stay positive, Lotrek! :ugking:

I agree with this, I feel like lots of known and reputable artists can move away from KS (Lotrek, uusi, JR, etc.) and just sell the decks when they are close or already done. A plus side for us is we can probably get the deck at a lower price since KS doesn't take their huge cut...

I don't see any reason for a creator to move away from Kickstarter as long as people are willing to back them on their, it funds the whole project and they don't have to offer any personal capitol to the project, that has to be an incredible boon

After changing my mind quite a few times, I have come to the conclusion that I for "ordinary" decks that are going to be printed by EPCC/LPCC I will continue using KS, although not for all of them. Some will be self-funded.
For my special editions, I will not be using KS. As I try new things all the time, I also face new problems all the time. This makes it very difficult (read impossible) for me to have the decks ready within the promised deadline, no matter how much "safety time" I add. I know that nobody fears that they will be scammed but I still cannot find peace as long as I have undelivered decks.
As long as I manage the printing, I feel responsible for any delays, even when the fault isn't mine. On the other hand, when I print with EPCC, I am not responsible for production issues so I am much more comfortable. I'm just like any of you: we are all waiting.

A great advantage KS has is that you are addressed to a much bigger and even growing audience. As a creator I cannot overlook this.

Both. I mean, I'm changing to "oath playing cards" as my halfmoonplayingcards domain has expired and I won't renew it. Temporarily HMPC can be reached here:

http://lotrekdesign.wixsite.com/halfmoonplayingcards" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I connected my new domain "oathpalyingcards.com" to the existing site but it only worked for 2 days. I'm trying to fix it before letting people know about the change... :(
