I am probably going for the Chancelor. I am definitely adding at least one pack of six. Even if I went for four to match my five EOTO 1 half brick sets, that would put me back about half what EOTO I was for me.

If you want an Orbis Triplex, the only way I see right now is in a set. If I go with a Regent, then it does come with two Orbis Triplex...and two books...maybe...

While the windwatcher tower is nice, it doesn't have the same punch for me that the crate had with EOTO I. I am hoping all the decks can get gilded and numbered...one can hope.

That's why it's worth being a patron of his. I'm surprised you're not.

I am not that well off to be in multiple subscriptions all at once hahaha

Well with S17 you could go with the $5 a month plan. still get all the news and access to his patron sales. If you find an extra $240 in January you can just buy the last years patreon bundle, or most or all of those decks individually (the windwatcher that is also part of this KS was the one thing you couldn't buy separately this year)

I'll likely go for the Chancellor. Seems to be the "All-in" tier for this campaign.

I go for the Deacon: let’s do the puzzle again!

What are the total different stuff one can expect in the Eoto campaign?

3x decks -- Gibborim (The Heroes), Malakim (The Messengers), and Nephilim (The Giants)
The Eye of the Ocean "Tomus Unicum" (book) -- Vols. 1 and 2, no slot for a deck, hardback
3x uncut tuck prints -- Gibborim, Malakim, Nephilim
Stone Golem card guard
Orbis Triplex
Astrolabe (add-on; not in bundles)
Windwatcher LTD (x/700) -- leftover from 2023 Patreon rewards, 70 available via Windwatcher tier
Half-brick box (stretch goal)
Windwatcher mini (stretch goal)

It's listed as an add-on on the campaign preview page

Lorenzo continues to be the best of the best, I was thinking I'd skip the book, but then I saw the golem-themed clasp as a stretch goal... and can I really resist getting two of each deck so I can get the 6-deck tower box?? I don't even want to think about what the THE CLAW might be

I'll be in for the trio only. The rest of it looks great, but it'll just sit on a shelf taking up space.

True but such nice space its taking.

Im even tempted by the half deck box he came up with (though not enough to get enough decks) and I dont like deck boxes normally.

I do wonder if the large price jump to get the book\puzzle tiers is going to put many people off.

If you skip the book, you’d probably won’t be able to see the second and last part of the story. The book provided for this campaign is provided so whoever missed Vol1 story should get a chance to read it~ It’s one continuous reading which not disturbed with “To Be Continued”

I might be one of them, cuz the FREAKIN Euros. But hey, perhaps I am willing if this project definitely worths a LOT (and if that’s the only option, since Add-Ons is said to be costlier)

I'm probably only in for the trio (plus mini wind watcher when that stretch goal is reached)

The only be there at drop item is if you want one of the 70 windwatchers. The early bird for all 3 decks is 48 hours.

Those wind watchers are 70 of the 700 patreon released decks - so there will be other avenues to get that

Yup. Being a patron, this campaign launch will be smooth sailing for me. Onward to the treasure, you filthy landlubbers!

My instinct keeps telling me to go for the Wind Watcher, but my brain is like: "No! Bad instinct! Go and stand in the corner!"

Has anyone read the first book? Is it any good plot wise?

It was okay; interesting and mildly exciting. It's the first half of the full story.

Yes, three times already! And yeah, there is that surprising plot twist by the end

It's my understanding -- could be way off base -- that the book this time around is an omnibus. Can anyone confirm?

It is the full Eye of the Ocean story, both part 1 and part 2 -- is that what you mean?

Yep. OK. Cool. Thanks for confirming.

Yes, confirmed - this book will have: previously published Vol.1 and newly published Vol.2 - we get to read the story as a whole!

I'm mildly disappointed by the fact there won't be a 2nd part standalone but alas.

Well, it looks like this decision has been made: I'll be in the cinema watching Dune pt. 2 at launch time.

I've heard really good things about it! Unless you're getting the windwatcher tier, there's no need to rush to back. I'm seeing Dune this Friday.

I loved the first part, as I do the 80s version, and the movie starts around 1.50pm and is ~3 hours long, so the 4pm launch will be well and truly missed!

For what it's worth, I assume it's not the only showing of that movie, right?
