I know Lorenzo has been waiting until Heretic was fulfilled. Way to keep your word my friend. This project looks great. I'm sure it will be every bit as successful as the other two.

This, I LIKE!!

I gotta start hitting the after-market for this guy's decks.  They're so freakin' cool.

I have a love affair with Lorenzo's wonderful work and it continues with his No. 17's. He puts so much more into his courts than anyone expects. Number cards are always classy and well designed. This deck in particular looks like he's added an extra touch to everything. Just have a real nice peek and you'll see what I mean. I'm really very excited about this deck.

Correct me if I'm wrong.  They took the the "card launcher" branding off? No more "card launcher" association?

I always thought this deck was incredible! It could use some tweaking in my opinion.

I might be in, if a non bicycle branded version is made.

Going to cardlauncher.com takes you to the Deck Refinery forum.  They're either defunct or retooling.  Probably would have been better to put up an "Under Construction" sign, though - this way, we're forced to guess what happened and what's going to happen.

Correct, the first version v.01 was always designed as the initial release to plug Card Launcher, but this version will stand on it's own.  As for non branded, Lorenzo said "I start with Bicycle and as I did for Heretic the unbranded will be unlocked later on, it depends how the campaign goes."

I won a copy of the first one, but this one looks even better.   :P

These are going to be very nice. I'm excited about the campaign already and I try not to do that until it launches.

In for a few as well. This guy is up there for me with Uusi and JR for my favorite designers. Also hoping for the Unbranded, sad to see the embossing may only be for the Bike decks though.

Only a few designers play in this lofty territory, and this guy completely deserves it.
Win-win.

He is funded already. I pledged right after the funding was finished. I didn't see this deck when I checked six hours back and it is already 100%. And yes, totally deserve it! Getting four decks for myself.

Is there any chance that Bicycle include this deck into its numbered series? I already have No.1 and No. 2 decks.

The Bicycle Limited Edition Series 1 & 2 where done by USPCC for there own sales. I don't think sales went as planned, because they have seemed to give up on the Idea. I know someone will correct me, but I believe they had planed 10 in the series.

Lorenzo is having this deck custom made by USPCC, and he is paying them extra for the right to use Bicycle branding. Long story short- USPCC will not be selling these decks.

That's how I remember it too Rob. I think you're right.

Lorenzo's decks always give me pause, inspire my imagination, and force me to re-think little things about cards. These are no exception. I'm not going to write an essay here, this time haha. I'm just going to say this is very exciting. I promised myself that I wouldn't go too heavy on any campaigns this year. This may change things, again. hahaha, I love it when this happens.

You're correct on all counts.  It's a little like expecting a new Civic from Ford.  Not gonna happen, totally different product lines as well as producers.

I think I'll have to back this.  I'm liking Lorenzo's work a lot.  It's no surprise to me that he won Best New Designer in the PCF Deck Awards.

Hi everybody,
I know I am not a forum-guy, I always get lost and barely active :(  sorry for that.

Just a little update about no.17 Le Chat rouge, I am launching on Saturday October 10 at 2pm EST.
I am working on the campaign, waiting for EPCC to give me the final quotation.

here is a cover picture that shows and overview. Red foil accents on the back of the cards is one of the features I want to put on this deck :)
As you can see it is not just a color swap, it is an evolution of this No.17 series, and it is the last one. I pretty much covered all the manufacturers eheh
Cheers

It's probably a bit easier to keep discussion to a single topic, since they're different versions of the same deck, so I merged the topics - but I did edit the title nicely for you to cover both versions, letting people know what they're in for!

Honestly, it's lovely work, as all your work has been to date.  I wish I had to budget to accommodate all of your decks, I really do!  People like you are what drives modern playing card design and makes the hobby of collecting decks worthwhile.

No sweat - just wanted to make it easier for your fans to find out about your deck in all its versions!  I found the old topic using the search feature from the home page of the PCP board - the search feature's a little odd, sometimes only searching a single board or even a single topic for results.  It depends on where you start searching from.

Red Label gone! In under a minute.  :o

 :D :D :D Half Brick boxes Unlocked!  :D :D :D

The sweet half brick box design many of you will know and love if you picked up a half brick of the club deck. Which I did and I can attest to it's coolness. For Le Chat Rogue it will feature the center element from the card back displayed prominently on the lid.

They already are.  It's a more affordable alternative to the custom brick box, which is usually only obtained when ordering by the brick.
