Redemption Story III is ICONS ANNIVERSARY Premium Edition TEST.

This is a Limited Edition of 580 decks. The embossed seal reads: "one of 700 decks" and the initial intention was to make them available to the public as well. However, we had many decks rejected and destroyed and as it usually happens, down the road I decided that I would love to make some changes, these changes became more radical little by little and we ended up with a very different, gilded deck that will be printed later this year, probably towards September. I want to finish with the pending Patreon rewards first, so I cannot do any other foiled decks before the workshop is free from that task.

Therefore, we decided that this edition will be limited to Patrons only as part of the Redemption stories.

All active Patrons waiting for delayed rewards will get one copy of each Redemption story (II & III) without doing anything. Patrons of the lowest tier are not included because they don't get any rewards, so there is nothing that can be delayed for them...

• Patrons of the lowest tier however, can buy the deck.
• New Patrons who don't have delayed rewards (yet) can also buy the deck.
• Patrons of ALL tiers, can add more decks, up to 4 per person of each Volume.

Redemption Story Vol. II is the Oath Standard Silver Players deck. A limited run of 410 decks, printed exclusively for our Patrons, using a shiny silver ink instead of gold.

Redemption Story Vol. VI is the Patrons deck. A limited run of 650 decks, printed exclusively for our Patrons, due to issues with the print below.

There is a little issue with the PATRONS deck that I NEED YOUR HELP for, and this is the main reason for the lack of updates for a long time: I’ve been debating with myself whether I should reprint it or not! The foil registration is stunning, the details very clear, printing is great, handling is good and I’m overall pleased, but:

• The embossed stock has left some uncovered spots on the foil. Some Patrons noticed that from the beginning. I’m not sure I don’t like that, though. It’s all over the card, so you can see it as a texture instead of seeing it as a flaw. I’m not very happy but I don’t dislike it, either.
• Another little issue is that the pressure and heat applied for the double foil on the back has caused the cards to bend. This affects handling a bit.
• None of these is enough to make me reject the print though but I’m not very happy either.

Patrons POLLED as to what they wanted Lotrek to do with the print job:

• Do you want the deck to be sent as is?
• Or should I give it a try and reprint it on a different, smooth stock?
• In case of a reprint, we will send immediately (before the rewards) one deck to every past and active Patron as a REDEMPTION Story deck FOR FREE.

Patrons voted for REPRINT!
