So Wil Wheaton Tweeted This...

I was about to go to bed and I was scrolling through Twitter on my Kindle when I noticed that Wil Wheaton tweeted this: A Redemption fun card.

Honest to goodness, this is the weirdest thing I've seen today. I have no idea what the card is based on. But anyways, it's really cool to see that Wil Wheaton posted a pic of a Redemption card (even if its a spoof).

...I made that. Like, over a decade ago. I bet he has no clue that Redemption is involved at all, and even less clue that I made that in high school.

That's pretty neat. It would be awesome if he actually had some knowledge of the game and promoted it.

Yeah, as far as I can tell, no one on that Twitter thread has mentioned Redemption at all. I did tweet to him letting him know the source, and also letting him know I'm doing much better things nowadays than poorly made fan mashups :)

Some guy named Chris Willett posted 12h ago that "Redemption got weird."

Ah, missed that. Still, I wonder how he found it, and if he'll credit it me. The exposure won't hurt!

This is a tough story to tell people, by the way. "So, the nerdy actor behind a minor character on a 25-year-old sci-fi show just tweeted a fake card from an obscure Christian card game based on a side character from an old Flash cartoon without crediting me!"

That's actually not bad. Jeri Ryan has retweeted some of my pics before and then others follow her lead and retweet them also. I have never tried a redemption retweet but i love it
