The toughness is treated as a combined number when heroes are banded together. We also don't use "damage" to articulate what is going on in battle in Redemption.

****MY 8th Annual Redemption @ South Texas RR PowWow (10-12Apr2026)***.

ALL ABOUT IT:
https://www.stxroyalrangers.com/powwow/


My PowWow2026 Highlights:

In summary, yet another amazing and fruitful annual event for Redemption as another few hundred leranes about the gane thru free booster packs, visiting the Redemption HQ, sitting down to learn the game's basics, and training to be further RR Redemption team members.

Two RR Redemption demo team members taking a quick break from Redemption HQ setup to teach d game to a future demo team member.



RRs enjoy cracking their free PA paks early Frday as camp gets set up. This is not scripted.


Quiet before the amazing 'storm...Let us pray that the actual storms this weekend don't happen or if they do that the RRs' blessings from this amazing event r not hampered no matter what.



God has never forgotten His plan to launch NTX RR Redemption. My amazing friend Cmdr John S transferred to NTX and tho he has never played, he has been promoting the game since we met at PowWow2019.



Here is Cmdr John at prayer night w a young RR. We continue praying and declaring til NTX RRs embrace Redemption just like the STX RRs.

More RRs praying as they fulfill their amazing destiny and perhaps one day decide to attend Nats as an army of Redemption gamers.


Redemption display at PowWow2026. Pray for my throat to withstand the onslaught of needing to teach d game to new RR players. Thank God I have at least a couple of my demo team members to help me tonight. There will be more helpers tmw. Playing on my laptop wud be some Redemption vids as well as all 4 Angel Wars movie episodes. This year we concentrate on promoting purely starter deks.

And so...borrowing the RR motto: READY!!!


Dunking STX RR PowWow2026 camp director and Redemption gamer Cmdr Chad H before he retires as PowWow coordinator.


Sorry missed taking lots of pics as I was most of the time at the storefront tent promoting and explaining d game.

A couple of Saturday nite pics...

Redemption-filled before 9am church service at camp. More Redemption seeds planted...more...quality.


My great friend Cmdr Joe F took a picture of me and some of demo team on stage (including my his 2 sons in their matching Mayo shirts. There's at least 30 more in the audience who deserved to be onstage but were a little shy this year I guess lol. Be proud as Nick gets promoted to Team Leader next year as he turns 12, together w Jayce (onstage wearing cap and badged lanyard) who turns 13 next year.

Blessings Josh. Long time no see!

I'll see if I could find a cam video I may have recorded of that TV news feature in 2005 before it got taken off the archives of the TV station that covered Nats2005.

Meanwhile, is this the vid you were talking about from the recent show you watched recently?
https://youtube.com/shorts/OBddK-gASfY?si=uNGiXXabfG2sXZXb
Coz just a few days ago it already had a quarter million views, and seems has gone a litlle bit viral at more than 1.5 million views and counting. Rob suspects the vid has spiked Redemption sales at Cactus recently. God is good.
