I read that after posting it and thought... it feels like saying a dog ate my homework.
"Publication has been delayed due to an avalanche"
Yeah, yeah...
"Publication has been delayed due to an avalanche"
Yeah, yeah...

After all the other reasons that have added up to the deck being 6 months or so late, this has to be the most bizarre. Lucky I'm not the paranoid type....
The shipment was unloaded from (The Slow Boat From) China on the East Coast, then was put on a train to get to US Games on the West Coast. In Vancouver, there was an avalanche and the train got derailed. So all the freight has to be sorted out and sent by road or whatever.
Hopefully that means it should all be sorted pretty soon. Unless they're all covered in mud or something.
So... if you ever DO manage to get hold of your copies from this first edition, you'll know it's already had a more exciting life than most of us

While we all sit here waiting for our lovely cards to be dug out of the frozen Vancouver mud, will you tell us a story to pass the time? I noticed on your website that you include a "note to self" on a number of the cards, saying that you rejected the older version in order to make a card closer to the symbolism of the Rider Waite. Now of course it is highly useful for those of us raised on the Rider Waite deck, to have those familiar symbols on your cards. But the version 1.0 images were absolutely lovely, and showed in many cases an original thought process for the card. Why did you decide to change them?
