Mafiascum.net

Shipped a couple out today while getting more shipping materials together. I've got a list of 20 more shipments confirmed which I will be working on tomorrow.

I just sent an email to everyone I didn't already send a PM to, asking for confirmation of your shipping address. If for some reason you are reading this and ordered but haven't received a PM or email, this is the information I need:

- Name on the order
- mafiascum username
- Name to ship to (if different)
- Address to ship to
- Number of decks
- Date of the transaction (if possible)
- Whether you need the colorblind-friendly sample setup cards

I will be shipping them as I get confirmations; if I haven't heard back from you in two weeks, I will ship to the address given in paypal.

I will also be reopening the order form sometime this week - I ordered about 25 extra to sell. Once those are gone, you'll have to wait until I get the print-on-demand working.

I will also be working in the next week or two on getting the rules and other information put together and up on the site (the deck includes a URL and QR code pointing to mafiascum.net/Cards, which currently returns a 404 because there's nothing there; I'd like that to change before decks actually start arriving!). If you have any interest in helping with that, let me know.

I would appreciate if someone would poke me on FB when this goes up. I don't frequent the site very much anymore but I would like to purchase a deck for playing/supporting the site.

i'll be keeping a close eye b/c i intend on trying to purchase as well, so i can do that.

PM me your number and I'll text you.

A couple updates, which are related:

I'm not thrilled with the custom tuckboxes - quite a few of them seem to have had some of the printing rubbed off, and a few are folded badly. I'm going to follow up with the printer to see if they can make it right.

There are enough in acceptable condition to ship out existing orders, but additional orders may be delayed (or, if you are in a hurry to have one, you will be ordering with the knowledge that the tuckboxes aren't in great shape).

Currently, the printer only supports custom tuckboxes for large orders (5000+ cards total), but they are working on supporting them for small orders as well; when that happens, they will be a part of the print-on-demand option which will eventually exist, but in the meantime I may offer the cards without the tuckbox.

The cards I have looked at seem ok, but I would recommend using card sleeves to protect them from damage. If anyone notices issues with their deck, let me know and I can work out getting replacements to you.

(In shipping news: I haven't been able to ship any today, but I have worked on getting together all the shipping packages so that I can get a bunch out tomorrow. If you've gotten your confirmation in by tonight, yours will be included in that batch, barring some unforeseen holdup at the post office.)

I'll probably laminate or sleeve a copy, seemed to work out well when my buddy got his ONW deck. I'll let ya'll know how it goes

Putting the packages together took longer than expected (we didn't get started until well after 9 - kiddo is sick, bad cough and puked all over me, glad we weren't standing over the cards or anything), but that's done apart from swapping in colorblind-friendly sample setups as needed. I've got most of the addresses put together in my spreadsheet, and am hoping to print all the labels on my lunch break.

Heard back from the printer, he was very apologetic and is running it by printing operations and his CEO; hopeful that we will have some more information pretty soon and will be able to open up orders on the remaining decks. (If you notice any printing irregularities with the cards themselves, please let me know by PM or email ASAP, and I will pass it on to them.)

One other thing to note for future orders: In addition to the custom tuckbox, the printer offers a generic clear plastic box which they can include for $1. It holds about 120 unsleeved cards, but I got some KMC perfect fit sleeves for my copy and found that they fit just about perfectly in that box. It won't work for standard card sleeves (which are thicker), but it's a good option for storage if you want to sleeve your cards. (I haven't tried putting the sleeved cards in the custom tuckbox - obviously they won't all fit, but if say ~60 cards fit you could take out some of the extras and roles you don't care about and be still be prepared for a wide range of setups. I'll try it out tonight if I remember.)

44 orders (69 decks) are labelled and ready to ship (apart from postage). I'll be spending my lunch break at the post office tomorrow.

Those decks are now shipped! I'll be sending tracking numbers out when I have time.

Last I heard from the printer, they were looking into sending ~20 replacement decks to make up for the misprinted tuckboxes. So we'll have a few more to sell than I was expecting (just some won't have nice boxes with them). I'll wait until I know for sure what I have available before I reopen the ordering, though.

I demand an unboxing video.

If I had read that before I opened it, I probably would have.

My cards look awesome. Thanks mith and co.!

Box with cards received. Gonna open shortly

these cards are so fuckin cool

Received my cards. Thanks!

beepbeep it's a jeep

I still haven't gotten tracking numbers sent out, given the site downtime; at this point, I probably won't bother. If you confirmed your address before Thursday, are in the US, and haven't gotten your cards by tomorrow or so, poke me and I'll check the tracking.

I'll be getting more cards sent tomorrow, I think.

Cards looked fine to me. When you said check for printing issues was there anything specific I needed to check out? are there mocks somewhere the cards should look like? They look fine to me

I thought about doing an unboxing, but did not have equipment. Now that I have it I wish I did one. Zito or someone else will need to make a vid

i did an unboxing using my cellphone. it's uploading to youtube now.
