      Given the high quality of these cards, I had to spring for the Deck of Extraordinary Voyages too!

      Question : I have now realized fors these decks we don't have any box to put decks inside !?

      I have not yet received my decks of cards. Is there any way I can check the address that they were shipped to?

      Creator Giddyup on August 2, 2012

      Hi. Can I suggest that you add a comment with a final shipping message? Something like, "All items have been shipped as of xx/xx/xxxx. Depending on location, especially internationally, you should have all your goodies by xx/xx/xxxx." It's difficult to tell whether one should keep waiting (with the stickers arriving the next day) or whether they have been forgotten in all the confusion. For the record, I received the decks quite a while ago, but nothing since. Thanks!

      I should have updated this but forgot, I got my stickers 2 days after I posted here so all is well now.

      OK, I just dropped in to let you know that I have not received the stickers either, but I see it's just been mailed out. We will wait.

      Just wanted to say that the cards I received including the Deck of the Living Dead, Pegleg Pete's and the Pippoglyphs are all really well done. Great art, beautiful cards.

      He is clearly not ripping anybody off. Although the first shipment was lost in the mail, Chris was incredibly nice and promptly shipped again. I got my decks on the 13th of July. I gave one as a belated B-day gift and my friend was blown away. Excellent cards. I have the other deck and love it. Thanks again Chris. And, your right Craig I wasn't, but should have been Chilled Out.
      Super happy and chilled out now to be certain.

      Wow people... Chillout. Of 5 friends I have that got in on this (all of us live in Rochester, within 50 miles of the starter) only 3 of us have our decks to date, one on the 29th, 2nd, & 3rd. I really doubt Chris is ripping anyone off, it just is taking a while to get things out. Add, the postal holiday this week and it's not surprising delivery is a touch scattered.

      As for not replying, this was a holiday week for lots of people. I was off-line most of the week myself. This is a small side project, not Parker Brothers. Plus, how much of a crap will you feel like if you complain about this only to go home and find the box in your mail that night... :P

      He has robbed me and he will rip you off too.
      My next complaint is to the postmaster General. This is criminal. Service to some does not justify dis-service to a few.

      Over the course of the past 8 days I have communicated with this Chris Pallace through Kickstarter, FaceBook, G-Mail, but he will not respond. He has collected my money, and refuses to send me my decks or address the issue.

      Creator Darryl on July 8, 2012

      Still haven't received anything in WA Australia any chance a email going out with who has been sent items so they can check with the respective post services. This seems to be a trend with most projects very long delivery times. Very little corespondents regarding items being sent to whom. Dazz

      Creator alexander menchero on July 8, 2012

      Happy to see some are getting their decks. I would be happy with just a response to any e-mail or comment about when you think I'm going to get my decks. Being ignored feels terrible.

      Has anyone found card games for 56 card decks yet? I can't find ANYTHING out there and the Peg Leg Pete section of the site has a varients link that just loads up "Coming Soon", rather disappointing.

      Sadness aside: These are probably the most fantastic decks I've ever touched. the printer you chose was top notch for the quality of deck you've delivered and really did the artwork justice, the bonus pippoglyph deck, after reading the back got me genuinely interested in the history of playing cards and the artwork just blew me away.

      It's very clear that insane amounts of effort and thought have gone into these treasures so thank you for letting us all be a part of this project and revel in your talents.

      Now hurry up and give us some games to play with our shiny as hell Reaper cards!

      Creator John M. Ronan on June 23, 2012

      Small gripe: You need to pack these better when you ship them.

      The decks came in a Priority Mail Flat Rate cardboard envelope with only one piece of poorly secured bubble wrap around 6-decks. The bubble wrap wasn't even fully covering the decks. The "ends" of the bubble wrapped package were not taped which would allow the cards to slip out rather easily. The lone bubble wrap around my cards didn't even fully cover the decks on the left side when the came out. And wouldn't you know it, those two boxes (the Pippoglyhp decks) both had dinged corners on the upper left side. For card players-not a big deal. For collectors like me-very irritating though commonly seen.

      Creator Phil Martin on June 23, 2012

      I got my cards today. They are way more awesome than I imagined. I also loved the Peg Leg Pete and Pippoglyph decks. Very cool.

      (Just to mention: my DOTLD box got a little beat up in transit, but fortunately the decks are undamaged.)

      SPECTACULAR!!!!
      I cant get over how crisp and amazazing each and every card are, even the Peg Leg Pete and Pippoglyph cards.
      My only question is........ Are the Caravan Clans shipping out at a latter date or did they get skipped on this shipment?
      Again very impressed and I know we will be ordering more.
      Thank you for letting me be a part of this ride to the grave.
