Lotrek wrote: Hi all, just a quick note (and an apology) regarding shipping of FRAGMENTA:

Due to a series of setbacks that were completely out of our control, ALL packages will go out on Monday. This was supposed to happen 10 days ago but as usual, even when everything is ready, the universe conspires so that Lotrek will be true to his promise.

In case you are curious:

1) We changed packaging materials (you'll notice that soon) and the new materials were delayed due to Greek national holiday on the 25th of March

2) Our team of assistants for the packaging were not available the days we needed them

3) When we finally arranged for the packaging, my printer called me for the MYSTERY III print and I had to prioritize that or I would lose my turn for several days...

So, Monday!

Thank you so much,

Lotrek

I too am a silver fan - and being two of my favorites as well I have the better part of a brick of the Patrons Teal - so your search is over

• The colors, obviously! You can have both decks side by side, and you can easily notice the differences in colors, i.e. the backs, where it's blue on the FINAL, while it's somewhat purple on the TEST PRINT. You can notice some color differences on the faces, like some parts are white, some parts are gold, you get the idea.
• The tuck box, another obvious thing: The TEST PRINT is just solid purplr tuck with muted gold ink, hand-numbering on the bottom - FINAL one, no need further introduction!
• The Aces: For Ace of Clubs, Ace of Hearts, and Ace of Diamonds - their pips on the TEST PRINT only have half of the pattern inside, while on the FINAL, the patterns inside fully covered.
• The Courts: Some Line Hatchings VS Cell-Shade - in the TEST PRINT, some of the Courts would have line hatches on their faces and some do not VS in the FINAL, all of the Courts have shadings on their faces and hands - A BETTER RENDERING!
• Number of Cards: TEST PRINT has the standard 52 cards, 2 Jokers, and 1 Double Backer VS FINAL has the standard 52 cards, 2 Jokers, 1 Double Backer, 1 Color Change Backer (the fragment of Silk Players the changes color: turquoise/gold), 1 Ad Card, 1 Blank Face.

• SPADES - Moresque
• DIAMONDS - Maestro
• CLUBS - The Golden Rule
• HEARTS - Silk Players

Does anyone who is a current patron know anything about the Year 2 status? I just saw the image for the Codex campaign and it looks lovely, but I keep scratching my head about Year 2. Thanks for any info!
