For Thunderbowl members is there a chance that our decks will be ready on the March games day or are all the cards now ready going to mail order?S.

Wonderful news indeed.

Give my best to Mrs. Bretness

Yes, there may be some decks beyond what this group paid to print. We did go beyond the amount covered by contributions, assuming that there would be last-minute requests. The final number is not known, since some of our local members will likely take some this Saturday. We'll know the final number some time after that.

Meanwhile, as promised I made also some boxes and have put them online so that anyone wanting to print and assemble them can do so. I recommend a decent card stock, and use a ruler to press the glued bits together inside. It should be obvious how to assemble them, but if in doubt, use a regular card box as a guide. The top closing flap is of course not glued, but you should cut small notches along the black line, just enough so that it will grab the little flaps beside it. Again, if in doubt look at how a typical playing card box works. If you're still in doubt then let me know and I'll maybe try to post some pictures, but I hope it doesn't come to that.

You can find the boxes here:

Ciao for now.

All packages (except US) are now en route.

Canadians should see them this week. Europeans, probably next week by air, within the month by surface.

Australians... your guess is as good as mine. They always say 2-3 months, it never takes that long.

Americans, if all goes according to plan, you'll have them in the next 10-12 days.

Please email me when your package arrives to let us know that you got them (and how awesome they are)

I don't suppose you made a note of the consignment notes on the customs declarations? It's an excellent way to track international packages even if they aren't "registered".

I notice you have different boxes for "Misc. Mayhem" and "Team plays" etc even though they are all 50k cards. Is there a purpose behind this? I thought that when picking a card you only got to choose the value you wanted, not the actual deck?

Have I been doing this wrong?

Virral · Post by **Virral** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 1:32 am

I've seen it done both ways, but generally I believe the intention is you get to pick which deck you want to take a card from.

Wylder · Post by **Wylder** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 4:57 am

What do you know, I'm wrong:

Each of the seven decks has a purchase price to draw one card
at random from that deck. For example for 100,000 gold pieces
you may draw at random one of the 26 cards from the Good
Karma deck.

I'm constantly amazed at how this forum continues to teach me things about blood bowl.
