ORNATE Amethyst and Emerald

[Don Boyer]

Randy's started a topic for his new Faberge deck in the Design/Dev board where he let it slip that there will be new Ornates coming...  Here's a quote from it:

Hey everyone,

I haven't been posting on here very much lately, but I'm always checking here and UC to see what's going on so I don't miss anything. Right now I'm switching back and forth at nights working on the next ORNATE Decks and a new deck I started on - The Fabergé Deck!

I'm hoping he'll pop in here and write a little more about them!

[RandyButterfield]

Hey Don,

Right now I'm a little over halfway finished with the new versions. The PSD files have so many steps I need to backtrack to do even seemingly simple changes, like revising Jewel colors, it's taking a while. The goal is to get the files finished up by the end of the month. They're looking cool though! I'll tell more about the next ORNATE Decks after the holidays.

I plan on having a contest, on my Facebook page, at the beginning of January to start showing some images and the Deck names. The Tuck Boxes will have a ______ & Gold Club and a ______ & Silver Heart as the hero elements.

thanks, Randy

[Strag]

Looking forward to these as the Ornates are some of my favourite decks.

[Don Boyer]

Thanks for the info, Randy - looking forward to it!  I know your original Ornates were a huge hit, and I'm thinking these will be equally as large if not more so.

Hi Randy.
I'm also looking forward for more images of this new deck.
You did such a great job with the Ornate's that I am sure that this deck will be fabulous. And I am very curious how will you integrate the eggs on the cards.
Keep up the good work.

[Evan]

I'm really looking forward to these, Randy! I'm a huge fan of the Ornate decks and I know that your upcoming decks will be awesome.

It seems the next colors will be Amethyst and Emerald.

[RandyButterfield]

Yep, the new ORNATES are Amethyst and Emerald!
The digital proofs have been approved. We'll have the physical proofs early next week and then it's up to USPCC for timing.

Besides the Tuck Boxes there's also a few other surprises with these versions. I'll wait to show those at a later time though.
The 8 normal Poker Chips are all the same as before, but we ABC be adding Purple and Green Dealer Buttons to go along
with the new Decks!


@Don, could you change the Thread Title to "ORNATE Amethyst and Emerald"?

thanks, Randy

while I'm generally against recolorings in principle, those decks look sooooooo dope. I'm sold for sure

[Don Boyer]

There's very little about Randy's work that screams "LAZY" at you, as much as people like ranting against introducing new colors of decks.  I have no problem buying some of these bad boys.

And now that it's finally announced, I can also state that yes, this too will be released at HOPC.  Kevin showed me images of it a few weeks back!

Well I missed the Sapphire and Scarlet decks so I'm really forward to getting some of these. 

One question though, does anyone who ordered from HOPC before knows what's the international shipping like? Thanks in advance!

[shz]

Seems like the colors match those of the fonts in John's and Don's  titles.

They look beautiful. Looking forward to them.

[jmrock]

What else is there to add other than another stunning achievement... Amazing job once again Randy... You have never let us down yet... Keep up the great work... Looking forward to these and anything else you're working on... -J

You can estimate it by placing an order without completing it.

See, now that was intentional!  Randy wanted to curry favor from John and me...  I said that was very nice of him but that I can't spend it like money, now can I?

Shipping is cheapest comparing to E, T11, D&D, but only if you buy around a brick.
You can buy up to 14-15 decks and pay around 20$.
I'm not sure what would shipping be if you want just few decks.

[Lara Krystle "Lane"]

It seems the next colors will be Amethyst and Emerald.

This! Amethyst....... OMG!
breathtaking!
My whole family was inlove with the ornates and I must have this to complete the awesome - ness of it all!
And since it is not KS I may try to get it from HOPC.

@Randy - I will forever love you for making an ornate deck purple. The color of royalty.

Those poker chips are awesome. Randy, do you sell them separately from the decks, as in an entire poker chip set?

I think he's got the chip maker selling his design as some of their regular stock models because they liked it so much.  Meaning the chip maker would happily put together a poker set for you, including the case.

Randy has a link on his website to pick up the chips here: http://www.abcgiftsandawards.com/ornatepokerchips.htm
It's honestly quite expensive, but I have no idea what production costs for poker chips are, especially ones with that many intricacies. And damn they're beautiful, I wish I could dish out $350 on the set.

As for the decks... Good lord, those things are gorgeous. And my 2 favorite colors! Definitely picking up a brick or so. Randy, do you plan on making those awesome brick boxes again?

I have samples of the chip set, and I've seen the ones from the first manufacturer he tried working with.  The ABC chips are quite beautiful and have solid feel to them.  Not as heavy as some ceramic chips, but they don't feel cheap in the least.

Thanks everyone! Lara, I'm just glad you finally got the Decks and Brick Boxes I sent out!!

Yep, the Poker Chips are made-to-order by Gene at ABC. The .65¢ per Chip price is pretty standard for custom Ceramic Chips. A lot of the cheaper sets out there are just ASM or plastic chips that are mass-produced. Some of the Clay Chips, like Paulsons, can cost well over $1.00 per Chip. The great thing about Ceramic Chips is you can go all the way to the edge of the Faces with the Design. I noticed the Polaris and Call of Cthulhu Poker Chips are Ceramic as well. I don't know which manufacturer they went with though.

And yes, there will be Amethyst and Emerald Brick Boxes this time around as well. I finished up the design on those this past weekend and will send them out to print soon. The turnaround time on those is only a couple weeks, so I have time while USPCC is working on the Cards.

thanks, Randy

[Don Boyer]

HOPC announced that Ornate Amethyst and Emerald will be out Thursday next week, 8pm Eastern.

There's three FB contests, too:

[RandyButterfield]

Thanks Don!

Here's a little more info I wanted to post on the forums.

I mentioned that there's a couple surprises for the A&E Decks. The first surprise is that not only are the Gemstone colors changed in the Face Cards but the Diamond and Heart Faces have a nice Purple background!

The second surprise is really cool. I'll post info on that in a few days.

Thanks, Randy

[Michael]

Wow these look absolutely beautiful! I am so looking forward to these!
