Title: Any News on the New Set tbd?
Post by: thestrongangel on December 01, 2008, 06:55:48 PM
Since it is nearing 2009, I wanted to ask if anyone has any information on the New Set.

Thank you and God Bless,
The Rrulez

Yeah, it is called [censored by ROSES].  It has [censored by ROSES] and [censored by ROSES] and [censored by ROSES].  Also, instead of tins, Cactus will use [censored by ROSES].

Hope this helps!

But do you really know...  8) Yeah nothing has officialy been announced ( even some of the promos from roa still havnt been announced yet ) and "it" is still very much under the wraps.

EDIT
*Note The only thing that was semi announced was at nats Rob said to some people that asked was that "Starters were planned" on being made, nothing was ever officialy announced though and this was also said 5 months ago.

From what I've read and heard, I would have to say that the next set will be unlike any set ever released in the game of Redemption. I think it will help the game financially and that it will help level the playing field for new players to the game. If you like formulating new strategies this set will be for you!

I like how ROSES has changed from [edited by ROSES] to [censored by ROSES].  And that two posts later, it forgot how to spell 'censored'.

As for the speculation, remember that Rob said:

- not a starter deck

Actually, no. Schaef was cross-referencing movies, like the time Indiana Jones arranged for Marion to kiss a Wookie, right after destroying the Nazi tanks with the Millenium Falcon. He then later went into hiding in an Amish village in Pennsylvania, because he knew that Irish bounty hunters were searching for him.

As for the new set, Schaef was hinting at the fact that there would be Asians and Sicilians.
Title: Re: Any News on the New Set tbd?
Post by: Bryon on April 07, 2009, 10:27:10 AM
Asians, Sicilians, AND Romulans.  (Oh, my!)

The Romulans were a greenish "brigade" in the old Star Trek CCG by Decipher.  We decided that, since that game is dead, and since we needed something to do with pale green besides Assyrians, we'd just slip a few Romulans into Redemption that way.  I'm sure most people won't complain.  HINT: they have an interesting connection to Rome as well... and that's all I'll say about that.
Title: Re: Any News on the New Set tbd?
Post by: YourMathTeacher on April 07, 2009, 10:35:35 AM
Come to think of it, Unclean Spirit does look like a Romulun. Lying Spirit does too, except for the red tint to his skin. Will they be reprinted in Pale Green (without the wings, of course)?

I was so good at the old Star Trek CCG; I had an amazing combo that allowed me to download my entire deck.


As for the mixing up of movies, the six fingered man has some pretty interesting trademark guitar solos, so I hear.

I liked that movie so much. Especially when he emerged from the Amish village as the kick-butt President of the United States and used Air Force One to stop that drug cartel right before he found out that the replicants were living in San Franciso.

It was not a Chevy, it was a Bentley. He had the chauffeur's daughter change the tire when it went down. I get choked up every time, though, at the thought of his chauffeur getting killed by a Columbian rocket. Just think, his pal Shortround might have died too had it not been for the lightsaber and tauntaun.

Yeah, but when he and his nine buddies decide to blow up that bridge in Yugoslavia--right before he took his family and moved to the rain forest--that was pretty good. Of course, when all the clues start to point to him as the murderer of his mistress you can understand why he accepted the command of the first Soviet nuclear sub.

I thought we were talking about George Lucas movies.

Back on topic... how would George Lucas release the new Redemption set?

1. 3D cards that can only be viewed with special 3D glasses available on his website
2. Talking cards that use THX technology - that is, they get louder over time
3. Cards that have built-in weaponry, like lasers and poison darts, for the full gaming experience
4. Cards with characters that you've never heard of because they were cheaper to license

Agreed, although Howard the Duck comes close.

5. Re-release Warriors with new computer generated updated art work, and annoying special abilities. Both of which seem specifically designed to suck all good feelings and joie de vive out of the original beloved set.

Title: Re: Any News on the New Set tbd?
Post by: YourMathTeacher on April 08, 2009, 01:31:56 PM
I like them, too. However, I have found that I needed to do a lot more editing and "explaining" during this cartoon series than I had expected. The bad language used by the clones is unnecessary. They seem to be trying too hard to create the "atmosphere of war." If I wanted "realistic" war scenes with "realistic" language, I would watch Apocalypse Now. However I would certainly not watch it as a family movie, which is what we were doing with the Clone Wars cartoon.
Title: Re: Any News on the New Set tbd?
Post by: soul seeker on April 08, 2009, 02:16:02 PM
Right, I watched them ahead of time because of the language and some rougher scenes.  Most of the cartoons had 1 maybe 2 parts that i had to mute or stand in front of/FF.  The last episode was more than just one or two scenes as you know.  I agree that they were trying to make it grittier and darker to appeal to adults and kids in addition to make it seem like "real" war.

I was referring in part to the newer films, but also to Lucas's annoying habit of taking the old films and making them "better." Blah...

I liked the episodes of the Clone Wars that played on Cartoon network. I didn't go see the Clone Wars movie, because my most trusted film critic (JSB23) told me he thought that there was excessive Lucas meddling making the movie pale in comparison to the cartoon series.
