Confusion at fulfillment warehouse—decks are shipping out by tomorrow
about 3 years ago – Thu, Apr 08, 2021 at 01:30:19 PM

Hey folks,

Apparently there was some confusion over at GW regarding fulfillment of these Centurio decks and there were several other projects they needed to complete before they could ship these out. But I just spoke to Sam and Eddie yesterday and today and confirmed that the Centurio decks are in fact shipping out today and tomorrow so I expect you should receive tracking info by tomorrow. 

I apologize for yet another delay but the decks are definitely on their way—thank you so much for your continued patience.

Thanks, David

Long overdue update: Centurio decks ship this week!

Hey everyone,

Again, I apologize for not posting any updates sooner...

The short of it is that life is insane but I'm catching up. More specifically, your Centurio rewards will be shipping out this week. Below are a few photos of the final product—notice the design printed on the tuckbox interior that was added from the original prototypes.

Centurion Club members: You should have received an email with your Club member number - if you did not receive this email please contact me at [email protected]

I have a few Centurion Club member spots still available—if you are interested in securing one of the last remaining memberships, let me know.

Next on my agenda is to make progress on the Stories project so I'll be posting an update there soon as well.

Thanks,

David

Update: tucks are printed, decks assembled, shipping soon
over 3 years ago – Tue, Nov 17, 2020 at 10:56:51 AM

Hey everyone,

Again, I apologize for being unavailable lately. I've been completely buried with work and life responsibilities. I won't get into the details here but just wanted to assure you this project is still moving forward and that I haven't disappeared.

The good news is that the tuckboxes are printed and the decks are now assembled. All that's left is for me to sift through the BackerKit details and make sure that the GW fulfillment team has everything they need to get your orders shipped. At this point I expect shipping will start next week. GW is now sending me samples of the final decks so I'll take and share photos with you all as soon as I have them.

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding during this insane time. -David

Quick update - no news yet

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to post an update to let you know I'm still here and that the Centurio decks are still in the production process. I'm waiting for the cards from USPC and the sticker seals and tuckboxes will be ready to assemble once the decks are ready.

Thank you for your ongoing patience! -David

Club member spots open + rough timeline + more images...
over 3 years ago – Wed, Jul 29, 2020 at 12:17:35 AM

Hello everyone! I have plenty of information to share in today's update but first I just want to say thank you for your ongoing patience and understanding during these crazy times. I know how disappointing delays can be but I assure you that you will all receive these amazing decks eventually and that they are going to look awesome!

A few member spots available

I'm in the process of finalizing the club membership number assignments based on project backing order. There are a few pledges for the member tier that weren't confirmed due to failed payment methods. So, I have five spots still up for grabs. If you are not currently a club member but would like to be, please send me an email at [email protected] ...preference will be given based on who responds first.

Centurion Club member coins

The coins are here and they look great! A couple images...

Sticker seal design

Here is the final version of the numbered metallic sticker seal design. Every deck will be sealed (Limited Edition decks will be numbered 0001-0100 and Standard Edition decks will be numbered 0101 and above)

Extra card design

Here is the final version of the extra card that will appear in each deck in the Centurion series (with updated colors and logo for each deck)

Final design of the jokers

After reviewing your feedback from the joker options posted in a previous update, we decided to go with the simpler/cleaner look for the jokers so that they would stand out a bit from the court cards and also be more aligned to a traditional joker look.

Expected timeline

I expect to receive the art proofs this week from USPC. This means we're still 6-8 weeks out for completion of production. In the meantime, all other items (tuckboxes, sticker seals, coins) will be completed so that GW can assemble the decks as soon as they receive the cards from USPC. Assembly will likely take place the beginning of October and rewards will be shipped out shortly after that. So, I'm hoping that you'll start receiving decks around mid-October. I'll keep you updated as we get closer to that time with any updates.

Thanks again for your support of this project! Also, I'll be working on more details/updates for the Stories project in the coming weeks. -David
