BackerKit Lockdown in 12 days
19 days ago – Tue, Oct 08, 2024 at 08:34:50 PM

Hey Everyone,

The Decks are on the way to my house, they’re just taking a little longer than usual. It may be due to the short dock workers strike, or due to the proximity of the holiday season. I have no idea.

The freight company called me a couple days ago, to confirm my shipping address and check if they needed a truck with a lift gate and pallet jack. I asked them what the ETA was for the pallet delivery. As of now, the Draconian Crimsons are scheduled to make it to Chicago on October 29th. Definitely later than I had hoped! It always takes them a few days to get it onto a truck and driven down to me in Indy, so I should have them in hand in early November. As always, I will begin shipping to you as soon as I get the Decks.

To prepare for shipping, I’m going to Lockdown the BackerKits on Sunday, October 20th. This will give me plenty of time to prep the Excel files and order any shipping supplies I’m short on. If you still need to supply a shipping address, or make any address or add-ons changes, below is the direct link to the Draconian Crimson BackerKit:

Almost finished printing
about 2 months ago – Mon, Sep 02, 2024 at 12:45:43 PM

Hey Everyone,

Production has taken a couple weeks longer than usual, partly because of the complicated printing of the Crimson Cards and partly because I’m printing a couple of self-funded designs  within the same Legends print run.

They’re very close to finished. It looks like the finished Draconian Crimson Decks will leave on the slow boat for the U.S. around the end of next week!

We’re still on schedule for early fulfillment - sometime in October.

I sent out the BackerKits a couple weeks ago. If you still need to supply a shipping address, or make any adjustments, here’s the direct link to the Crimson BackerKit:


Thanks, Randy

Production going well
3 months ago – Tue, Aug 06, 2024 at 08:10:48 PM

Hey Everyone,

I thought it was time to give an update. Full payment has been made to Legends, and the Draconian Crimsons are on the print schedule. It looks like they’ll be finished sometime this month! After that, they’ll take a ride on the slow boat to the U.S. (usually takes 3-4 weeks). So far it’s all ahead of schedule!

I thought about adding a cool cut Deck by Cards and Conundrums with the Crimson project, but instead chose to keep the project as simple as possible. I received a surprise package from John of Cards and Conundrums a little bit ago. An awesome cut of my House of Tudor Deck! I have know idea how a Draconian cut would look in John’s hands, but I have to think it would be pretty sweet! When you get your Dracomian Crimson Deck(s), if you’re interested in a cool cut version, just give John a shout at cardsandconundrums on Instagram.

Thanks, Randy

Funding Period Finished!

Hey Everyone,

Thank you all for the great project!!

Production is in it’s early phases with Legends Playing Cards, but I’ll keep you up do date as milestones happen. I think we’ll easily beat the November shipping ETA. I always add an extra couple of months to the ETA, just in case any delays or mishaps occur.

We finished with 382 Backers and 466 of the 475 available Red Decks pledged for!

I’ll keep the extra 9 Red Decks for my personal collection.

For those that have had payment problems, please try to correct the issue within a week. Kickstarter will change you to a Dropped Backer after that point.

Thank you for your support!

Randy

Great start!

Hey Everyone,


Thank you all for the great start to the Draconian Crimson project! As of now, we’re over 200% funded!!


I’ll be posting the final print files later this week, for Legends to start the printing process. If all goes smoothly, we’ll easily finish fulfillment a month or two earlier than the shipping ETA.

Since the Red Deck is Limited to only 500 Decks (475 available, 25 for myself and for missing or damaged packages), I’m keeping a close eye on the Red Deck pledge tiers. With 262 Backers, we’re at exactly 335 Red Decks accounted for. So only 140 Red Decks are remain for the next 13 days. Should be fun to watch!


Thank you all for your support,

Randy
