Mine has been saying that DP only received the shipping info but not the package. This is what happened with my White Patrons package that they never shipped and ended up shipping back to Lotrek. I am a bit anxious, the same thing is going to happen.

Mine is moving. Took about a week to start moving. He mentioned in the Patreon post the rest will be shipped today so they weren't all mailed right away.

On a comment to a reply in Patreon, Lotrek mentioned that the shipping ended up being messed up due to an error on his part. When speaking with DP, they had given him an okay on some things that turned out to be inaccurate, resulting in the shipping error. It's unlikely the same error will happen again, but I definitely understand the anxiety. My White Patrons were part of that package as well.

So it looks like once the shipping info is received by DP, it takes several days to start seeing movement. So hopefully I see movement by early next week. I will try to exhibit more patience.

I have Royal Mail confirmation that they have tracking details from DP, so things are moving indeed.

Im still waiting for tracking email in the US. Hopefully soon...

To be clear, he was told by the shipper that whatever the error he had made was acceptable and would work. Had they given him the correct direction, it may have been preventable.

What are you guys expecting to receive as a Year 1 reward? Is it going to include Patrons decks with the purple tuck that he posted on IG a while ago?

Royal Silk Red with two gold foils
A gift deck that is Royal Silk Red with Gold and Silver foil - 1 per backer
Black Patrons deck that will come in the maroon tuck. He had a bunch of them in boxes when I visited him in July.

Mine status updated and it now says DP has received the package which is good news.

Got mine today. Year one gold tier. Not sure why I got a Mystery Craft as well maybe another redemption gift . I'm happy to finally have something in hand that is not redemption. A tad scared to open up some decks due to some quality control issues lately, haha. For now I keep'em Schroedinger's pristine decks. Might open the dupes next week.

Now I'm left wondering what the maroon Patrons tuck is for. Maybe Year 2 Royal Patrons?

What cards did you get as filler for the box, Harvonsgard?

Didn’t Lotrek say the maroon addition would be used in some way to deal with the wastage caused by the Black Patrons deck being thicker than expected?

There’ll be a red stock version in the future, maybe a Redemption or something?

The Patreon post was the one titled ‘It’s becoming really funny…’ from June 14

You're absolutely right! Thank you for reminding me.

Top is damask red and blue and bottom is maybe silk rule?

Anyone else still waiting on a tracking email? Still waiting here. Wondering if was able to send ship everything yet.

Did he reprint Damask?

Not that I know. I think these are just extra cards he has.

Looks to be the case! First time we're seeing those jokers

Harvonsgard wrote: ↑Sun Oct 06, 2024 10:29 am Did he reprint Damask?

They're extra cards he's had for replacements. My first blue Damask that I bought had a messed up 8oH and KoH. Lotrek was able to send me a replacement for the 8. Now if anyone opens one of these older decks for the first time, it's less likely that replacement cards will be available.

Still a pretty cool way to give his supporters cards they may never have seen in person before and a creative way to solve the box size dilemma.

So does anyone wanna bid on a blue Damask single?
Just kidding, I love myself a good book mark.

Got my package today. Got basically the same extra cards as Harvonsgard (as well as my missing Queen of Spades from Mystery Crafts 3!). Haven't opened anything yet though but the box with the magnetic clasp is beautiful.

Now Year 1 Patrons are starting to receive their boxes and they almost all shipped out I’m really hoping for some updates on Year 2 and onwards…

I’ve essentially come away from collecting, selling off most of my decks apart from my Lotrek deck and I need some shiny, shiny teasers to fill the void!

My package was in Germany yesterday so hopefully another week.

Man, I’m still waiting on tracking. As of a couple of days ago, it looks like he was still working on getting that last ones out (per Patreon comment). I presume he hasn’t finished yet. It’s been 3 years, I guess another week or two isn’t so bad but the pics make me jealous.

It's been so long since I saw something about the features of Royal Silk that I didn't remember or didn't realize it would be fully foiled. Unless I'm mistaken it looks like there are no inks used, just foils to create all the artwork. I'm not a fan of the back design but the foiling is amazing (it's growing on me though). The craftsmanship is pretty wild to me. I think it was well worth the wait. And the gift deck with the 2 foils (silver and gold) is even prettier I think. Someone remember, this was supposed to be like 17 foil layers or something?

For those that received year 1 rewards… If the subsequent rewards are similar will it have been worth the cost and wait?

It was something like 21 foiling plates used to do different elements of the design (I think)

That’s what I recall as well.

Yep I was able to find the post where he said, indeed 21 plates.
