I am not a big fan of black card stock. However....I will make an exception here. Yeah, this is really nice stuff. Count me in as well.

Wait, what? I missed the memo on kevork's birthday?

Well, dang.

Welcome to the other side kevork and Happy Birthday, with wishes for many more great ones ahead.

Having received the uncut tuck of Sins Reborn, I can strongly recommend it. The tuck is just insane. In going back and seeing this photo, it really does highlight the holofoil used and how it looks a bit in person. holo foil though is tough to really experience by just a photo, but this does a good ...

At the end of Gio's birthday sale, I noticed that the Galaxia tuck prototypes hadn't sold, so I picked those up to go with my prototypes for The Order. It is nice having that as a full set. The order and Galaxia are some of my favorites from Gio. That is probably because i am a science fiction nut. ...

I don't know, I really like most of Alex's decks and still do. The ones that were not too much to my taste are still not too much to my taste. Same for Vanda's decks. The Planets are still one of my favorite all-time sets.

I may be overly optimistic, but I think he's capable of churning out Years 1-3, the mystery deck, and the patrons gift by end of the year. Then he'll be just one year behind. A big jump in terms of catch-up. I hope I'm right. Well, I am fairly sure I will see year one rewards by the end of July. As...

The box received two ecto-core decls as a bonus for getting the box.

welcome to UnitedCardists Kelvin.

With TWI day events going on, I have picked up some things from the sale. Here are a few of the things from this year's haul: IMG_0736[1].JPG I picked up a couple extra Zodiac Aurus decks. I don't think that deck has previously been available aside from part of a Patreon package, so that was nice, i...

Honestly, it will be great when they arrive. Unfortunately, I will not be in this world by that time. So, I will move on past the pearly gates into eternal bliss. Then a few years into eternal bliss I get a package covered in Greek Stamps! The mailman delivers! It is awesome. Heaven is wonderful, so...

Is that really "touch" or did you REALLY mean "fondle". It is okay, you are among friends...mostly.

I really like Masterpieces. That was a blast from the past. I haven't thought about that deck in the longest.

As a kid of the '60's, I can let the 80's go. Knock yourselves out. Now, where did I put my tie dyed t-shirt.....

I am so crying that I wasn't fast enough to join the first year patrons or the new 2nd year top patron's package. Forever behind now...

I am sure Lotrek is really busy right now shipping out our 1st year Patron packages and the new mystery decks we ordered awhile back.... Yeah, that's the ticket. Seriously, he does respond from his website messages, or has in the past. Sometimes a f/u email/message helps. He does get busy and I imag...

Actually, I do have a storage locker. I need to get a bigger one TBH. I am trying to move part of my collection that I have kept at my office. In the case of this campaign, let me try (try) to sort of justify this thing. The main package was 209 Euros shipped. This included two of the Fantasma Extre...

Yep, that looks like professional photography for sure.

My little envelope arrived today...

...maybe it was a big box.

Snakes, snake skin tuck. I get it. It looks nice. Yeah, I have a ton of thirdway stuff. Do I need more. No. Do I want it, yeah. I don't feel compelled to get everything Thirdway does (although I do have a complete set). I have gotten to the point that it is no longer necessary to have everything any...

I think keeping production in the EU makes it logistically easier for Jocu, who is based in the EU. Plus, the had a sterling reputation. Admittedly that reputation has tarnished to the point of being in the trash bin at this point. I thought they did great decks, so it is sad for me to see them vani...

Most Backerkit projects let you change your initial tier if you're not trying for an EB or the like, and I'm thinking I'm going to want to switch from the EB for 1 each to the 2 each tier. I can't recall if I added the Claw and the mini to my KS pledge, but I'm working under the assumption those op...

I am sticking with The Regent. I am also using another account to get another half-brick windwatcher tower and two more claws to go with my Regent and two extra claws. So, three towers and six claws. A few other nicknacks as well. It is still way less than EOTO1 for me. Like Timmargh, I have a ghost...

Kickstarter carries some inherent risks. Creators failing to deliver a promised reward is one of them. I have had more than a few never deliver, including my first kickstarter. If it is a major worry, then either avoid Kickstarter like the bubonic plague, or be very selective when backing. Even bein...

Hmm...this discussion of boxes and collaboration would be interesting if it was a collaboration in a box for playing cards. Something different, but something they both have done very well. In any event, I loved the interpretive 17rh Kingdom photoshop. Congrats to whoever did it. I am more excited t...

Hang in there bdawg. Your day (deck) will come.

I think their asthetics can definitely mesh. They are both talented and versatile artists. Jackson is especially versatile as an artist. I don't think I am super-excited, but at least it sounds interesting. I am all for anything that gets some excitement going. Rah, Rah and all that stuff. Sure. :D ...

Thanks rousselle. I had forgotten that reference to the claw. Now I can't unsee it.

As a mix up goes, while missing the Ace of Spades is a bummer, an extra KoH is a nice consolation prize.

Another exciting addition. Also, we are closing in on the 400% goal, which is all decks being gilded. What is cool about this goal is that, unlike in the last campaign, we get the gilding at no additional cost. Of course no numbering, but oh well. I think that is really adding some nice value to the...

Lorek just posted to Patrons that the Year 1 decks are almost ready and should ship soon. Included were some photos of the Patron deck, now with 4 foils, including a clear foil. It looks stunning. Very good news for first year Patrons.
