Loving the red pips on the 4 of Diamonds too :D

Here's the animation they are referring to. To be honest this was the only reason I went with 2 decks and included the LE, based on this I think I'll keep it. Lately I'm trying to get just a single deck and only a single type in any new project. I'm bored of all the variation add-on decks for projects these days. This one somehow still made the cut.

Something Even Wickeder This Way Comes - Soon!

Unread post by Mike Ratledge »

I've got a secret (again), and something truly extraordinary that we recently discussed is getting ready to happen. It's not the big dogs, they are all on the porch, but someone with vision and the ability to change the game is knocking on the door. Time for the guessing game to begin again.

This one won't be as easy as previous guessing games, though. "Let the games begin!"

I've been saying this for weeks now and I hope we're right! Can't wait for this to happen...

EDIT: Is Lotrek's most recent update hint related to this?
Reaching the 17K mark... Something big and very dark is coming! I've been sneakily working on something new that many collectors dream to see. I won't reveal it yet as I love such games. I'll just say that it's delightfully dark to the core! More to come soon ;-)

A deck when you shuffle it, you'll see an image moving.
"When I like something, I buy. No matter who did it, how many were printed or how many (re)colors exist.

When I don't like something, I pass. No matter who did it, how many were printed or how many (re)colors exist."

Man, bruno wasn't really online at all when I started hanging around here, I have to say, love his posts!

Thanks for being animate and quirky Bruno!

Lotrek, have you tested a prototype deck with the animation? I haven't really seen an animated deck that was actually cool. Hopefully Macabre changes that!

Animate decks are nothing new, and Grotesk Macabre is already having one, but based on that quote from Lotrek above it sure sounds like black stock on black core paper.

Granted I'd rather just see ICONS be finished and delivered than some supposed game changer.

Me too. And this day isn't far. ICONS turned out to be an incredibly painful project but it seems to be at last very close to completion without problems this time.

Yeah, Bruno definitely has style and is a literate person. Nothing can hold him! I love his posts too.

If you flip the deck at the right speed (not too fast) the animation will be cool. Guaranteed. 8-)

Finally black stock!!

Once again something that "couldn't" be done is done by Mr. Lotrek. Great work as always.

On a side note this is all great but I would like to see some ICONS first!

I purposefully kept quiet, but this is awesome stuff!

I am thinking Lotrek will tell us more soon, but I am certain that it is not Expert PCC stock.

Yeah, I won't be torn.

The cellophane wrapping around the tuck will be torn.

Black stock decks were meant to be played, and I'm just the playa to play 'em.

Oh, yeah.
