Other than that, very very very nice deck. Reminds me of concept art from old Blizzard games. Yum.

Post by: hapaninja on May 28, 2013, 03:52:53 PM: Alex, thanks for the kind words and the feedback. I'll look into other fonts for sure, I like the look of this one, but you're right it may not be the clearest.

Post by: Anthony on September 21, 2013, 11:06:19 PM: I'm not sure If I'm missing something, but did this deck ever see the light of day? I see it was funded on KS, but I can't seem to find decks anywhere...not even on the creators site. Are they still in production?

Thanks in advance ;)

Post by: Rob Wright on September 22, 2013, 12:08:51 AM: He was 2 months late delivering his Steampunk Cthulhu deck. An update on 08/07/13 said he was still finishing artwork for this deck(funding ended 06/27/2013) It may be at the printer now.

Post by: Ben Taylor on September 22, 2013, 01:15:25 AM: They are still in production. I believe he just received the physical proof sheet from USPCC and is waiting for everyone to fill out the BackerKit surveys. It's probably likely that these will be shipped sometime in November.

He'll be selling some Steampunk Cthulhu decks on his next project, you might ask him about offering the Elves & Orcs deck with that, since he'll have some leftovers. Otherwise he'll probably put them up on his website after the Kickstarter orders have been shipped.

Post by: hapaninja on September 23, 2013, 02:08:23 AM: Hey folks, the Elves & Orcs deck is in production still and I'm hoping I can ship them in October. I've been told by USPCC they can have them done by mid October, they'll ship out within 3-5 days after that through my fulfillment center. The reason it took so long on the art, in large part, is due to the fact that I always sell portrait card rewards. This requires me to work with several people on getting adequate photos to draw from. My last one there were a couple of people who I had to really hound to get me pics, one of which still has never responded (luckily I had a couple old pics of him from the last deck)

So, in short "yes, these will see the light of day." :)

In other news, my new campaign is up and going nuts on the first day:

Post by: CBJ on November 19, 2013, 04:27:57 PM: These decks are now shipping out

"Hey everyone,

wanted to let you all know that the cards came a couple of days ago and I've just finished signing over 450 of them! Whew, it's worse than it sounded since I had to open each one, sign it, and then slide the plastic back on to protect it during shipping, but the important thing is that it's done!

All the cards and books have been given back to the fulfillment center and they have started shipping out packages now. Because this is done on such a large scale it can take a bit longer things to arrive in the post, especially for international backers.

I'll leave you with a pic and hope to start hearing what you think of the cards once they arrive, thanks!"
