"Golden ticket" for the numbered decks: instructions and deadline
over 1 year ago
– Thu, Aug 25, 2022 at 03:27:39 AM
Hi all!
I don't think that everybody recall the kickstarter update from April 6 (this one) where I talk about this sort of lottery - similar to the golden ticket concept - for the numbered decks.
This is a reminder because so far nobody claimed the prizes.
How it works
3 decks have a red XVII sigil stamped on the numbered seal.
Solis Gilded: #999/1600
Lunæ Gilded: #555/1600
Astra Polaris Signature Edition: #333/550
It looks like this:
XVII sigil
The Prizes and how to redeem it
The lucky owners of those decks win a Quartermaster LTD Poker Size.
To redeem the prize take a picture of the deck showing the seal with the sigil and contact me via kickstarter.
Deadline
Almost all numbered decks are out in the world in the hands of backers or customers who bought via my online shop. Just 3 Solis LTD are available on my shop, so they will be gone shortly. I doubt Solis #999/1600 is that group, but who knows?
However, there is a deadline and I am giving an additional month from now. After September 24th 2022 this lottery expires. You have 30 days to check your decks, I hope it is enough.
I will write a S17 newsletter for those who subscribed to it.
Unclaimed prizes?
The unclaimed decks go for sale via auction on my webshop: that is the section of my shop dedicated to auctions.
At the moment there is an active auction for Quartermaster LTD #300/300.
The downside of this is that you have to register.
I know these are off topic, but since I am here I let you know that Black Requiem and The Notorious Gambling Frogs in green and orange are available here

Hi all!

The candidates in the wheel are the backers who solved the puzzle and submitted the solution before the 10th of August.
WINNERS:
Duc N
Tore G
Nurul A
Each of them won the following:
1x codex
1x Quartermaster poker size LTD300
1x Astra Polaris LTD555
I will contact them privately via email.
The rest of the candidates will get a discount code on Stockholm17 online shop for $20. I will get in touch via email soon.
(Note: If the wheel hit +$10, then it could become $30 instead of $20) .
Thank you so much for the time spent on this quest, and the commitment of all the backers who solved it and those who did not.
Soon I will post the walk-through of the solution, it will take some time to make it.
I wish you a great weekend!

Quest deadline expired, what's next

Hello everybody!
I hope you are enjoying your decks and the novel. I am currently working on some aspects of Vol 2 with our Quartermaster Mr. M. Ardohain who is spending 10 days in Stockholm.
We reached the deadline for the submission of the solution, the participants had 3 months to work on that and no more submissions will be accepted.
Raffle soon
27 backers completed the puzzle and submitted the right solution.
3 of them will be the winners of the following items.
1x Codex
1x Quartermaster LTD
1x Astra Polaris LTD
The other 24 participants who solved the puzzle will get a $20 discount code on my shop (they will get a mail from me with discount code).
The raffle will be live-streamed probably on youtube using a wheel of names.
the 27 candidates
The right answer, spoiler alert!
If you want to try the puzzle yourself, do notclick anything.
I will prepare a walk-through to show how to solve the puzzle. Apparently it was medium/hard level depending who approached it. Easy for some, hard for others. It all depends how a person is trained to solve puzzles/riddles etc.
That's all for now.
Stay tuned, all the updates about the winners and the quest are posted via kickstarter.
Thank you to all the participants, I hope you enjoyed it!

Intrepid up for grab | Vol2 plans
almost 2 years ago
– Fri, Jun 03, 2022 at 08:44:19 AM
Hi all!
I am assuming that almost all the parcels have been delivered. Today a backer from Australia received the package. Sad that it takes a longer transit time to Canada rather than to Australia when shipped from Texas.
I am sure there are plenty of packages still in transit, but I guess they are almost arrived at destination.
For any issue, remember that chapter 1 of this post gives all the info you need.
Intrepid is up for grab!
The red variant of the series is up for grab on Stockholm17 online shop, and there are plenty available from both warehouses for the joy of EU customers that can finally give a finger to the customs fees. That is the only way to get it, this variant is not going to retailers.
Other Eye of the Ocean items are available as well, it is the leftover of the campaign.
I started with a couple of ideas, at the moment I am brainstorming and so far the plan is the following:
deck of cards with new court cards and illustrations, a whole new concept
part two of the novel to be written
board game !!!!! gosh in what am I throwing myself in!? I spoke with a professional, I am covered.
quest/puzzle: maybe
codex II : no
Triton's Iris: maybe another time
This summer I work on some ideas and concepts. I do not know how long it will take, it will take the time that the project needs to be as good as this one.
Quest/Puzzle update
So far 9 backers managed to solve it without hints. This is good because it is hard enough and it means that it is possible to solve it.
When the winners will be announced I will post the solutions for backers only.
That's all for now, it is time to move on and start volume 2.
Thank you so much for the immense patience for this project and for tolerating all the delays.
Have a great summer (or winter)!
Lorenzo
