And for those who quit after y1, 1st year rewards decks finally printed, with the tucks now being printed. So that's FINALLY coming! (maybe I shouldn't jinx it? Who knows what other natural disasters or problems with the Greek post office that Lotrek may yet face! )

Yes. Mine also never got shipped. I contacted him via Patreon and he shipped out a new deck. I got it in around 2 weeks.

No-one could beat Lotrek on th–– OH MY GOD! IT'S ALEX CHIN* WITH A STEEL CHAIR!!



* I'm still hoping Alex is okay, but once this popped into my head I had to get it out.

I am an optimist, but Mystery III is surely months, or more likely over a year away from being in our hands. It should come as no surprise that Lotrek is not the best at estimating timelines. I knew his estimate was wildly optimistic when I pulled the trigger on Mysyery III, but I also knew that it will be worth the inevitable long wait (for me anyhow).

If you can find a way to hold him to account when it comes to his high standards of artistic vision and execution, while also letting go of any sense of expectation surrounding timing, you will find it to be a much more satisfying experience to be a Lotrek supporter. Anticipation is part of that experience. If you want things when he says they will be ready, you will just be left unsatisfied, which is absolutely understandable. I feel like anything he sells should come with a disclaimer.
