Oh Good Lord, I'll just wait until tomorrow. Sigh.

I like that, and a nice observation for tarot...

Curses! I knew it had to be that post. Thank you for putting me out of my misery.

I really hope this deck surprises you.

That would have been my guess. Honest. :p

OK; things I don't like (before it arrives);

Rose backs, in fact, presence of red roses everywhere. Adds to cheese effect (the worst excesses of 80s poster art).
The Fool
The Hanged Man
The Magician
Botox porn-chick on the 9 of Grails
Daughter of Knives
heck quite a few cards actually; a few faces on the courts

Things I do like (before it arrives);

The sound of the book
Misty settings, ruins and mist in some cards
The 8 of Skulls in Golden Moon's pics!
Prince of Skulls
The Empress
the Star
The Moon

All this before having seen it...

I still think it was the lace and chocolate mousse myself

But I'm annoyed with Book Depository they're *still* processing tssssk! I hope they haven't run out!! I'm itching to get my hands on the roses and barbed wire

I had to order this deck after I had read the thread and seen the cards and the book. What made me more convinced that I need this deck was a vampire dream I saw few nights ago. They told me I would be really happy with the deck and one must to trust their own dreams.

I've had the Vampyres a few days now & I love it even more... I have never been "into" Vampyres/pires that much. I love Gothic architecture & graveyards. But this deck & book has pulled me into their world completely! - There is now only 1 card I really dislike & that's that cheesy Magician, I am hoping I will get used to him still
I actually like the 9 of Grails, there is a lot of passion there.. . I still haven't got all the way thru the book as I can't stop playing with & looking at the cards! -

I've ordered - caved quite early in the thread, really.

I would like to order a bag for it, but I'm not sure about the exact size of the deck (and I prefer my bags to be quite tight-fitting).

Could someone give me exact measurements for hight, width and thickness of the deck?

I'm really looking forward to playing with these; it's been feeling like autumn for weeks already now, might as well get into a Halloweeny mood.
