Hey Everyone,
A quick reminder that I'll be locking down the ROME BackerKits tomorrow afternoon. Please make any address or Add-Ons adjustments before then. I'll start prepping the Excel files for Gamblers this weekend.

PRODUCTION UPDATE:
The Decks are still scheduled to arrive at Gamblers around February 8th.
The Coins are all finished. The Gold Foil Stickers for the Gilded Decks are finished, and they look great (photo below)! I'll sign them this weekend, and ship them and the Coins off to Gamblers.
We have one setback. The ROME Carat Card Cases will not be finished until February 10th, and not arrive to the U.S. until a week or two later. I don't want to tie up Fulfillment, so I'll only send Gamblers the info for everything but the Carat Cases.
I'll mail the ROME Carat Card Cases to Backers. It will cost a few hundred extra, but I'd rather do that then have some Backers wait to receive their Decks or Coins as well. Here's a quick outline of the shipping schedule:
Shortly after February 8th - Decks and Coins (from Gamblers)
GILDED DECKS will ship a couple weeks later, after they're finished (from Gamblers)
End of February - ROME Carat Card Case (from me)
thanks, Randy

Happy Friday Everyone!
Just a quick update to give you all the heads-up on the production progress. The finished ROME Decks left Taiwan earlier this week, and are scheduled to arrive at Gamblers Warehouse on February 8th!!
Legends should be airmailing a finished Deck or two my way sometime soon. I'll make sure to take some photos when they arrive!
Also, a reminder that I'll be Locking down the BackerKits on January 20th. If you need to make any order or ADDRESS revisions, please click on the link below to modify your BackerKit. The Pledge Rewards should start shipping out shortly after Gamblers receives the Decks*, so please do any address corrections now. I won't be able to make any address adjustments after February. There's still a small handful of you that need to complete their BackerKits. Please do so. We can't ship your Pledge Rewards if we don't know where they need to go.
*The GILDED SETS will be shipping a couple weeks after the rest of the Pledge Reward items, as it will take Gamblers a while to do the Gilding work. I'll have them ship the GILDED SETS as completely separate orders. Which means if you have any non-Gilded Decks, Coins or Carat Cases, you'll get them right away (and your GILDED DECKS later on when they're finished).
thanks, Randy

Hey Everyone,
A quick update for this week. The ROME Decks are scheduled to print during the first week of January, which is awesome! They should be arriving at the fulfillment center around the beginning of February. Yesterday I wire transferred the full payment of the printing over to Legends, so they're good to go!
The ROME Coin is also in production. I'll shoot some photos as soon as they're finished (probably around Christmas). I'll get he last items, the Carat Card Case and Diecut Stickers for the Gilded Decks, into production next week.
BACKERKIT:
The Backerkit for the ROME Decks is all ready to go! I'll send off everyone's Invite in the next few minutes. Please fill out your Backerkit, as that is where I'll be organizing the fulfillment info. It's a quick and easy process.
I also added a few extra Add-Ons to the Backerkit setup, including the few remaining TOGA Pairs. I plan to Lockdown the Backerkits on January 20th, so that is when Credit Cards will be charged for any extra Add-Ons added.
I'll probably do another Update before Christmas, but just in case, I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year!!
thanks, Randy
Proofs Approved!!

Hey Everyone,
The last round of physical proofs for the ROME Decks arrived over the weekend, and they look great!! I sent the APPROVAL to print the Decks to Legends. We should be on the Print Schedule in 30 days or so. I'll send another update when I know the exact date of the printing.
I should be sending out the BackerKit invites around the end of next week. Please look out for them. I use BackerKit to keep track of Add-Ons and Shipping Addresses. It's a very important part of the process.
And here's some photos of the physical proofs!!
thanks, Randy
