Ireland Deck NOW LIVE!
almost 2 years ago – Wed, Feb 15, 2023 at 09:04:15 AM

Hey Everyone,

I just launched a new Kickstarter for an Irish inspired design. The Ireland Deck features bold green and orange colors and incorporates Celtic Knots, an Irish Harp and more!

The Ireland GILDED SET is LIMITED to just 100 in total. It features a rigid 2-Deck Box with Magnetic Closure, 1 Orange GILDED Ireland Deck and 1 Green GILDED Ireland Deck. Each Gilded Deck will include a Diecut Clover Foil Sticker on the back of the Tuck Box. Each Sticker will be hand-numbered.

Please check out the Ireland campaign at:

Thanks, Randy

Red Rising Update and EUCHRE Playing Cards
about 2 years ago – Mon, Oct 03, 2022 at 01:37:34 PM

Hey Everyone,

I hope you all are enjoying your Red Rising Decks! I’ve noticed some requests for a new Update, but there hasn’t been anything new to say. I finished fulfillment less than a week after the July 29th Update, and have been keeping pace with any follow-ups / replacements for any missing packages since then.

If you have not received your Red Rising package, the odds are extremely high that you’re one of the 30+ Backers who have yet to supply us with a shipping address. We can’t send it to you, if we don’t know where to send it to.

EUCHRE PLAYING CARDS:

I have a new solo project that just launched on Kickstarter. A pair of two completely different Euchre Decks! Euchre is a very popular game in the midwest area of the U.S. and some areas of New Zealand and Australia. It’s a blast!

The Euchre Decks are already almost on the slow boat to the U.S., so the shipping ETA is early December. This will be a quick one!

Shipping Update
over 2 years ago – Sat, Jul 30, 2022 at 01:17:19 AM

Hey Everyone,

Exactly 1,700 packages are out the door!

There’s just under 1,850 packages in total. I’ll be out of town for a couple days, so I’ll get back into packing orders on Sunday night, and get the last 150 out next week. Those last packages almost all need some TLC, so I’m hoping I can get them all out on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

If there’s any fellow stat junkies out there, you may get a kick out of our project’s shipping reports (screenshot images below). The United Kingdom is the number one International destination and California is the most popular U.S. shipping location for the Red Rising Decks. The shipping costs are right around our estimations, but it’s still crazy seeing that much money go towards postage!

We’ve been seeing a lot of social media posts of Decks finding their homes. It looks like the responses are extremely positive! Please let us know what you think of the finished products.

I thought it was fitting that the Decks started arriving to Backers right around the same time as Pierce Brown’s SDCC announcement about Book 6 (Light Bringer) and Book 7 (Red God).

I hope you all have a great weekend!

Thanks, Randy

FULFILLMENT IS UNDERWAY!
over 2 years ago – Thu, Jul 21, 2022 at 06:20:11 PM

Hey Everyone,

Great news. The Red Rising pallets arrived on Monday!!

I started putting together packages on Monday night, mailed out 200 packages on Monday and 280 more packages during lunch today. So 480 packages are on the way to Backers!

My goal is to get around 1,000 - 1,200 packages out this week, and the rest of them out next week. Adding the Stickers to the Gilded Tucks is time consuming, so I’m doing around 50 or so a night (and should have them all ready by the end of this weekend. So, out of necessity, the Gilded Sets will ship out next week.

Everything looks great and Decks should be arriving to Backers as early as Thursday or Friday!

Below are a few quick fulfillment photos, and a time lapse of my family and I unloading the pallets.

Thank you all for your patience,

Randy

REMINDER: BackerKit Lockdown in 2 days
over 2 years ago – Sun, Jul 03, 2022 at 06:29:00 PM

Hey Everyone,

We’re awaiting word from the freight company, but it looks like the Red Rising Decks are still waiting to get offloaded at the LA Ports. It should be soon, hopefully.

This update is mostly a quick reminder that I’m locking down the BackerKit addresses on Tuesday (probably around Noon EDT). That way I can do as much fulfillment prep work as possible before the Decks arrive.

if you’re not sure if you have the correct address in your BackerKit, please click on the link below:

https://redrising.backerkit.com/

If you have an Apple ID e-mail address and haven’t sent me your mailing address yet, please do so. There’s still quite a few Apple ID addresses that I’m seeing without addresses.

I’m hoping the Decks will be at my house in 14 days or so!

Thanks, Randy
