"Venexiana Dark" by Lotrek: Funding(funded) on KS!

[Eoghann]

So, anyone wanna speculate who the remaining courts are that Lotrek has yet to reveal? I think the last King is the devil himself. And by that I mean Lucifer, not Lotrek. Although Lotrek making a cameo would be pretty darn cool! Which reminds me: I've noticed none of the males ever have facial hair, what's up with that? Just a general preference?

I also think it could be Casanova.

Anxious to see the final Queen!

The last King is a very recognizable character, that's why I'm leaving it last. Three more courts are to be revealed until Tuesday, along with the 2 that haven;t dropped their masks yet.

As for the facial hair, sadly at the time beard was not popular. I haven't seen any portraits depicting bearded men from that period. Pity, I have a beard too and I'd love to include some hair in the deck!

Don't forget, today @ 11.59pm NewYork time the last batch of Signature Editions is released.

Sadly 4AM UK time means no chance for me.

Thank you Lotrek for making the second batch convenient for your Asian/Pacific backers!

[Lotrek]

The release time was a bit inconvenient for USA and totally brutal for Europe. There are about 14-15 decks left that I'll release on Tuesday evening (Europe time). This is morning for USA. I'll announce the exact time tomorrow.

@Lotrek - I suggest taking some of your full bleed decks and have UUSI gilded them. USPCC requires a white border for gilding. UUSI can do something USPCC can't do.

I respect Don's opinion.

[Lotrek]

Thanks for the suggestion Sprouts!

I don't want to exhaust collectors' pockets. I think the Signature decks is enough.

But I'll do gilding for my next deck and I'll contact them. You guys start saving from now!

[Fes]

You guys start saving from now!

I've learned to keep $200 set aside for a just in case Lotrek puts out something special. I'm not joking.

[Lotrek]

30 hours to go!

I've set a final stretch goal for Venexiana Dark: @35K two more cards will be added to the deck(s). A double backer and a gaff card. One of the courts will be included as it appears in the other deck: A revealed court for the Masked edition and a masked court for the Revealed edition.

Meanwhile, beware of this guy:

Ahh! Can I pledge more than 2?

Even though my wallet would be screaming, I'd grab a pair of each if I could. Its a strict max limit of 2 and no 2 alike. Meaning, if you pledge 2, you get 1 of each not 2 gold/2 platinum.

[volantangel]

I really wish i could fork out the money to get the signature decks, but im stretched really thin these last two month. Good luck to all gunning for them! Btw day to pledge ! dont forget !!!

[Lotrek]

Things are not always what they seem to be...

[volantangel]

Simply stunning, can i do the same with some signature decks XD

[rousselle]

Lotrek... nicely done with the Jack of Hearts.

Very nicely done.

Could this be Lotrek's Magnum Opus?

Simply brilliant. I love every single court and reveal! Such an incredibly rich project!

[Cbkimble]

Definitely love the KoS. Amazing job.

[Fes]

ZOMG! KoS is Death!

Absolutely fantastic Lotrek. Maybe I need more....

Thanks! I thought that adding the death was essential. I hope people won't have problem with that. Some may preferred a human there instead of a skull.

Having Death as the king did surprise me, but definitely in a good way. It almost gives me chills when I look at that card. It's really good art when it can get an emotional response and the KoH does the same except I feel so sad for him. I love this deck Lotrek!

Game Over for the Signature decks!


Tic tac tic tac...
16 mins to go! The Gaff cards are a reality!

[Fes]

Congratulations on over 200% funding Lotrek. Great campaign, I enjoyed it full of discovery. Looks like there'll be a double backer and a Gaff card now too.

[Sher]

Congratulations, Lotrek!

[Lotrek]

Thank you all for your support and comments before and during the funding period.

The VeneXiana adventure ends here. No other variation of this theme will ever be released and of course none of the existing decks will ever be reprinted. I have special feelings for this deck as it was my first Kickstarter but now it's time to move.
My next deck will have nothing in common with my previous works. Except for the love for playing card design.

[Cbkimble]

Here's to you Lotrek and the end of a masterpiece.

[chach]

Beautiful deck and an awesome campaign. Congratulations Lotrek, you keep outdoing yourself, can't wait to see what you have coming up next.

[ecNate]

Congrats! I just really wish I had more wall space (or at least have already framed and hung all the ones I already have). This is perfect for a side by side uncut. Perhaps you'll make available during backerkit or something and maybe then I'll be ready. Either way, glad to have a pair and love that you did the booklet. Great job!

[Eoghann]

So excited to get these decks to finally see the Assassin Queen revealed! And I can't wait to see what you have in kind for the gaffs. I'm guessing a double backer with both colors is one?
