LUXX REDUX and Coming Soon Preview
over 7 years ago – Thu, Aug 10, 2017 at 11:46:34 AM

Hey Everyone,

I hope you all are doing well! I wanted to send a quick KS Update to let you know what I've been working on this year. First up is a Deck that recently released at JP Games:

LUXX REDUX DECK: The LUXX Redux is a new version of the original LUXX Decks I designed a few years ago. The Tuck is highlighted with intricate Red Foil designs, and the Cards feature new Jokers and a slightly revised Back Card.

LUXX REDUX AVAILABLE AT:  https://jpgamesltd.co.uk/LUXX-Redux-Red-playing-cards

 

I've also been working on a handful of semi-custom designs that will be on Kickstarter soon!

The OCULUS Deck is a design geared towards the Cardistry crowd (but is still very playable). It's a collaboration between myself and my buddy Mike Wilson (thedoc318). The theme is inspired by Pointilism, and the Courts are abstract with hints of the familiar. They should look beautiful in motion! The OCULUS will be on Kickstarter in early-to-mid September.

The Draconian WILDFIRE Deck is a new version of one of my most popular designs. The Back Card is a spiral of dragon scales, adorned with green accents. The Tuck Box will feature a black matte material with a Pantone Grey + Green Foil accents.

The Fury and Rage KNIGHTS Decks are somewhat of a spinoff of the Draconians' design. The imagery is made up of the Armour and Sigils from the families of Knights that fight the Dragons! Both KNIGHTS Tucks will be printed on a shiny Silver Foil material.

The Draconian WILDFIRE and pair of KNIGHTS Decks will be on Kickstarter in late September to early October. Between the three Decks' Face Cards, there's a Black background, a Green background and a Silver / Grey background.

Bicycle INSPIRE DECK: I also designed a new Deck that was recently released from The Blue Crown. At first glance, the Bicycle INSPIRE Deck is a very simple design. After looking closer, you realize it's a Fully-Marked Deck!

Thank you for your time, Randy Butterfield

ROME Project is officially finished!!
over 7 years ago – Sun, Apr 09, 2017 at 01:12:44 PM

Hey Everyone,

I thought I had sent this update almost two weeks ago, but apparently I had missed the second round of confirmation on sending it out to Backers.

Gambler's finished and shipped out the ROME Gilded Decks to Backers almost two weeks ago! U.S. Backers should have theirs, and International Backers should receive theirs within the next week or so (depending on location).

Last week I received a package that had some of the scrap Gilded Decks from Gambler's. Even the scrap Decks turned out beautifully!!!

Also, if anybody wants to order any additional ROME Decks, the standard Antony and Caesar Decks are now available on my website. A few of my older ORNATE Decks are also available on the site for a very limited time!!!

thanks, Randy

 

 

Gilded Decks shipping in a few days!
over 7 years ago – Sat, Mar 18, 2017 at 08:31:35 PM

Hey Everyone,

I meant to post this a couple days ago, but got caught up in the March Madness hoopla (go Michigan and Butler!).

Gambler's should be finished with the Gilded Decks and start shipping them out to there new homes on Tuesday!! Eddie from Gambler's sent over this quick photo of the Cards. They look pretty sweet to me!

Gilded Pair Backers should be getting shipping e-mails in a few days.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend.

thanks, Randy

 

ROME Carat Card Cases all shipped to Backers!
over 7 years ago – Wed, Mar 08, 2017 at 08:16:58 PM

Hey Everyone,

Just a quick update today. The ROME Carat Card Cases arrived at my house the end of last week. I'm happy to announce that I shipped the last of them to Backers this afternoon! So anyone who ordered a Carat Card Case - it should arrive soon (not so soon for International Backers, of course).

All that's left are the Gilded Pairs! I thought Gamblers had been working on them since the Decks arrived, but I was told last week that there was another Gilding project that was ahead of us. So, it looks like the ROME Gilding will be worked on next week. As soon as they're finished, Gamblers will ship them off to Backers. I'll post another Update when I have been told that they are finished.

thanks, Randy

Fulfillment of ROME Decks is finished!
almost 8 years ago – Mon, Feb 27, 2017 at 10:53:43 PM

Hey Everyone,

Today Gambler's Warehouse sent me the Excel files with a full list of Tracking Numbers, which means all ROME Decks (Gilded Decks still in progress) and Coins are on their way to each of you!! The hard part is completed! They'll ship out the Gilded Decks as soon as they're finished. Hopefully that will be sometime next week.

I've seen that a couple Backers have already received their ROME Decks. Which is awesome! Please let me know what you think of the finished Decks as they arrive. They are my favorites of any of the many Decks I've designed! I couldn't be more proud of the final result.

There's still a small handful of Backers that I need addresses for, or supplied them after I had already sent the Excel files off to Gambler's. I'll ship their Pledge Rewards when I receive the leftover Decks in the next week or two. The Carat Cases should be in Indy sometime next week. I already started getting the boxes ready for those packages.

Thanks, Randy
