Received via Royal Air Mail.  Pretty damn fast IMO, and wishing I had bought more than just the one now.  Not sure if I should open it or not...

Very nice - but why no picture with Anne herself?  :))  Sounds like you had a golden opportunity.
I really don't know why I didn't!

Next time, go with something that's more of a quick-change outfit.  Or at the least, something with a removable mask and/or helmet.  In a worst case scenario, bring the cosplay equivalent of a pit crew!

Looks like I was one of the lucky ones to get in on the first shipment from UUSI.  These guys sure do know how to run a KS campaign.   The cards are absolutely magnificent.

The escape deck, you can kinda see the map.
Do you guys even read this? Like I could have the meaning of life here and I doubt you would know it.

That's actually pretty cool John, I've seen the decks, but never laid out like that. Gratz!

I love when my postman brings me stuff, it was a good day  ;)


....now we wait for T11  :)

Sparkz, what deck is the solid black box with the green border around the edge about 1/4 inch inwards? I believe it says Rarebit?

Not Sparkz, but that'd be the Rarebit deck.  Very limited release from T11 a few months back, buy $50 or something like that and receive a deck, or you can still get them using points.  Alternatively you can go to the Rarebit restaurant in Charleston, rack up a $100 tab and have the option to get a deck from them.  Or buy one for $$ on eBay if you can find a listing.

I was going to post a link to the Rarebits in the Archive at T 11 so Speedy could get a better look.  Seems they're no longer available.  Seems like a lot of items are gone since the last time I was there.  I would imagine they are still going for big bucks on ebay.

EDIT: Yup, looks like the cheapest buy it now on ebay is $90 + $7 S&H.

Not really an acquisition, but I wanted to show you guys the cases my dad and I made over the weekend. Ignore the lame wallpaper.

I made them so the fronts come off and you can take each deck out individually and replace it with another instead of stacking them all atop one another. And used some door trim to make the decks lean back a little instead of stand flat against the back.

Those are great!  I'm counting 84 decks per.  Looks excellent.  Just don't leave that door open too long.  Salt air could mess your decks up!   :)

Vict Playing Cards

This was actually one of the first decks I backed on KS. He had a problem with the printer, and had to have them reprinted, so ended up not getting them until Oct. I emailed back and fourth with the guy about his project, and design. He was really nice- gave me some ideas about what I want to do. In the end, he got so frustrated by the printer, how the decks turned out, and I believe lost money. He decided to not design anymore decks.

Thanks Rob, Ya, I can see a KS project really takeing it's toll on some, jut looking at it from the outside gives me a headache. It seems even if their campaign is fully thought out there are always those intangibles.
