I'll let you know after mine arrive. Ordered on the 9th, shipped on the 13th... and arrived on the 28th. The cards look good, the backs were cut on or close to the white lines, so very little of the color boarder are showing. Similar problem with the Werebunny, Good Karma and the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch in the Midnight deck but nothing that effects playability. Mine finally arrived yesterday (11/1/2010). They had shipped on 10/12/2010. I suppose the cargo ships from Hong Kong just ebb and flow across the Pacific. But the wait is over. The cards are great! Especially Calvinball! A few questions (I ordered both the Indigo and Midnight, so I am not sure which has which I am asking about): 1. Gaydar card. Does anyone have a list of all the KB cards that can have a "homosexual" second meaning/double entendre. The only one I can think of is "The White Stuff". 2. Here again, are the Bug Off! and Noah's Flood cards which are in the original game. But instead of being SPECIAL cards, they are VERY SPECIAL cards. Were the original KB cards originally misprinted as Specials or did the makers of these new decks decide it would be better to have them as VS...and included them? Back to the fan-based decks I got, they aren't as thick as the regular KB cards and don't have as slick a finish. Some of the cards have not so equally colored edges, but it matters not to me...I love them. And as to the "At Last!" card....just how many KB cards have a Penguin on them? Thanks!

A few questions (I ordered both the Indigo and Midnight, so I am not sure which has which I am asking about): 1. Gaydar card. Does anyone have a list of all the KB cards that can have a "homosexual" second meaning/double entendre. The only one I can think of is "The White Stuff". As the creator of the Gaydar card, I will say that part of the use of the card is testing the Player's "gaydar" so you can offer an argument to your friends as to which cards you believe are eligible. This is much like the Psi card "Shazbot!" where the group determines which words are "swear" words. Or, ask a gay friend. I contend there are many references, but not "a lot." I wouldn't include "The White Stuff" in the list (but maybe you know something I don't), though I would include all of the gender Weapon cards (guy/guy is C4, or "explosive;" guy/gal is 10 Foot Pole, as in "a gay guy wouldn't touch a gal with a 10 foot pole;" gal/guy is "Weather Vain," which could be read as woman-man relationships are vain; and finally gal/gal is "Hare Pulling," which could be interpreted as bitchy lesbians, unless your thinking is more innocent than that). Part of the fun is making these connections. "Bunny Dearest" parodies "Mommy Dearest," which starred Joan Crawford, who is (apparently) a gay icon. If that is too tenuous, then disqualify it. When you're playing the card, you can really go wild. If it is played against you, perhaps be more conservative and wait for a good case to be made. 2. Here again, are the Bug Off! and Noah's Flood cards which are in the original game. But instead of being SPECIAL cards, they are VERY SPECIAL cards. Were the original KB cards originally misprinted as Specials or did the makers of these new decks decide it would be better to have them as VS...and included them? In the April 2010 Magic Carrot interview with CTA, Jeff said that Bug Off! and Noah's Flood were intended to be Very Special cards, but they were produced as Special. As such, they work differently than all of the other Special cards (you can't play it from your hand, but have to run it through and save it). If that annoys you, then substitute the new ones. If not, play with them both or discard them.

I won't give too many away, but I'll give you a few I thought of... I would say #661 The White party is unquestionably a contender here (just look it up on Google) Not so obvious but somewhat hard to argue in my opinion: #16 Choose a Carrot - Bunny standing behind another bunny (At least it looks suggestive to me) #561 Baseball Blues - Catcher and Pitcher (nuff said?) Here's a stretch or two for you: #260 Reversal of order - God made man to be with woman, this bunny (wearing a fashionable scarf) is reversing the order of things by going the other way #262 Terrible Misfortune - The bunny is keeping the male end of the grenade and throwing away the female end.
I had fun finding those, like Davii said, finding the link is half the fun...
Also The Midnight deck has several "revisited" cards, not just those two. Rainbo, Random Paintball Assault, Day of the Dead, Free Agents, Double Free Agents, Bingo Flamingo, and Diverse Portfolio are also included.

Got my cards. They do look great. If you put them in card sleeves you wont notice the thickness difference.

Who can't figure out the obvious #673 "Bunnyback Mountain" or Psi 02 "Bunny Eye for the Carrot Guy," which parodies the TV show "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy"? I didn't know about The White Party, but a trip to Wikipedia cleared that up. It now makes total sense: the card name, the Ionic columns (Greek), and the rainbow-colored floor tiles. Fif--nice work!

I only have the boosters up through Orange. But thanks everyone for the information

I only have the boosters up through Orange. But thanks everyone for the information The description for Idyllic Indigo says "It is assumed that you have all of the decks through the Onyx expansion." That is, the fan deck is meant to be played with the entire Quest game.

I'm just throwing this out there but it's illegal to sell copyrighted material like this

Who's selling it? I've only ever ordered cards that I believe to be in the public domain for my personal use.

So I finally got my cards a few days ago, they look really good. I haven't had the chance to play them in a game yet. They look like tons of fun though, the quality of how they came out was really good, definitely worth it!

I wonder what the process is to get these sets sent over to (some place like) artscow.com to get them printed up. Anyone have a FAQ or advice on it? I know a few of the cards are in the Indigo/Midnight (at least the Calvinball card), but would love these since they are 'complete.'
