So for the sake of our budget planning, are you able to provide an estimated timeline for the 3 projects we know you have cooking ATM?

Fables, Charmers, Bosch (this should be 2020 earliest considering how difficult it is)

I agree on this, but there is also LESS coming, so I don't know if there should be LESS on the list also. :D

Nice joke: Lotrek + estimated timeline.

I have a supposedly hypothetical approximation if you're interested though! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I might be interested in a hypothetical approximation. Whenever you are certain, it is certain to be wrong. Kind of like the weatherman. Honestly, all he has to say here in the summer is it will be hot with a slight chance of scattered showers, and they will be right most of the dang time. I could phone it in.

That said, I did get a notice that I am getting LESS in the mail, so I guess one of the things Lotrek was doing the past day was visiting the local post office. "...and Greek Stamps" whispered the smooth talking magic bean man. :lol:

Yeah, the approximate year of release is good enough for us. Fables - 2019, Charmers- 2020-2022, Bosch - within my lifetime... :D

I just saw this on Instagram. It has been over a year since Arabesque players was on Kickstarter. I’m looking forward to this. I went to college at Baylor University, whose colors are green and gold. I never liked the color combination, until now. Since this is for a magician, I am guessing it will be a variation of your standard courts.

Who is doing the printing? I know you can do them, but Catamundi can do cold foil. I really like what EPCC did with your 52 Plus Joker deck.

I still really like the back design. But if I ever need a monogram logo I'll remember to not have three overlapping letters lol there is so much of that around.

kellarswonders wrote:Extremely excited about the CHARMERS collaboration with Lotrek. The TSC is the monogram for The Southern Charmer. This logo work is all original design from a creation beginning in 2013. It is shown on my marketing materials, etc and we felt it would be nice to carry it through the design of this card deck.
Even though I was born here in "New Roper Hospital" in Charleston, we had never met until I sat down beside him during this year's day 52+Joker live auction in Charlotte. Even then it was almost a virtual meeting since Steve had already called one small group down for talking during the auction.

As always, Lotrek's work is identifiable by those of us who adore his artwork. This is (another) opportunity to own one of his treasures at a reasonable price, like the 2019 Club Deck which was only $30 but is already Sold Out! If you missed those you will have to pay a premium for them - already.

I just hooked UC members up with more than two bricks of them for $26 each plus shipping anywhere in the world. Hopefully there will be a few more because I know that they are conservative and keep a few in case of shipping malfunction, but I do have a very few I bought in Charlotte. (maybe two?)

None of the previous club decks has sold out except for the very first 2014 one by Jackson.

The back design is nice but not really for me. Especially since I would guess no foils since it is supposed to be a worker's deck for a magician? But that tuckbox render might chime me in for a deck. Like Bacon wrote, there is really something beautiful about that typography of the Charmers .

I get a similar designing vibe with "The Entertainer" 52+Joker Club deck, but still, I'll never be tired with this style and coloring!

Talking about vibes, for me this looks more T11’s Tavern on the Green (as the colour palette is very similar).

The green tuck is the icing on the cake which makes this a definite for me, by my count I only have about 5 decks with a green tuck, very uncommon.

The font style is reminiscent of 'Titans' by Jody IMO, in all the best ways possible. I am buying this deck as soon as someone tells me where and when.

I’m really over-the-top excited about this collaboration with Lotrek. We’ve been working together for a while with this deck - capturing my vision of a deck of cards that showcases a phenomenal tuck and stunning card design. We look forward to the finished product.

I have only really been collecting this year and I have not had the opportunity to support a Lotrek project on KS. Can't wait for the first one. Definitely be putting in a large pledge.
