Title: What the next set is not ...
Post by: CactusRob on February 05, 2009, 12:09:18 PM: - not a starter deck
- not a tin
- not a foiled wrapped booster pack
- not in a house
- not with a mouse
- not in a tree
- just let me be 8)

Regardless, awesome Rob, thanks for letting the speculation go wild.

Post by: soul seeker on February 05, 2009, 12:17:04 PM: Wow! That is awfully odd....how is the next set going to release?!? You've just eliminated the three major ways that it can be released:

I've collected different game and sports cards. Going from past experience:
It is either a boxed set (like Baseball & other sports cards)

-or-

By individual sales?
Pick a card, any card! (What kind of trick is this?)

That's the only thing I can really think of, but it seems (from a non-businessman's perspective) to be a strange choice for a CCG.

Title: Re: What the next set is not ...
Post by: Gil Galad Elven King *Generic on February 05, 2009, 03:09:11 PM: Ok, before Foof came out, if I remember correctly I kept saying we should have some sort of product like what decipher did with star wars, an enhanced set (certain amount of new cards, with 3 - 5 boosters), the next set was Tins.

Recently I've been thinking we need a new type of constructed deck. A Theme, or tournament type deck. Most other CCG/TCG's that are still going have done it by now, maybe it's Redemption's turn?

4 - 6 new Theme decks FTW!

Hey, what it's bundled with the new version of RTS.....
Or, what if there are only 20 new cards, all future deck staples with no fluff? And further, what if the only way to get said cards was by sending in ten UPCs? You get a free booster pack and one of the new cards?
Supercheap for Cactus as far as printing, no need to ship to Christian books stores (who have done the crappiest possible job of promoting Redemption, as far as I can see!), and Rob sees a huge uptick in booster pack/ booster box sales!
Thank you, thank you, don't clap, just throw money....

Post by: lightningninja on February 05, 2009, 04:08:55 PM: Who says it's the next "redemption" set? He says the next "set."

Maybe he's driving us crazy because we've been too nosy, and it actually IS one of those three option. Really, he's talking about some other ccg and getting us on a rabbit trail while he has peace and quite to promote the next set. So we all know that Yu-Gi-Oh or MTG won't have starters, boosters or tins.

I know how he thinks. :D

Title: Re: What the next set is not ...
Post by: Prof Underwood on February 05, 2009, 08:55:13 PM: My favorite idea so far is a set that comes packaged with the new and improved RTS. As long as the price is right, I think that could do more for boosting Redemption around the nation than anything else.

Giving people a set of cards that either were a deck, or could be made into a deck easily for playing live...

while at the same time coming with a computer program so that they can play people online in case there is no one else around them to play.

That would be brilliant!
Title: Re: What the next set is not ...
Post by: DaClock on February 05, 2009, 09:07:54 PM: Here's my guess.

RTS will be released, comes with 10 set cards ($5)
Expansion packs will be released for each real-life expansion set, each costing $5 and coming with 5 new cards.
The promotional set will cost $10 and come with a super duper awesome promo card.

That means for the low price of $70 you get all the new cards, plus the best ever RTS.

The promotional set will cost $10 and come with a super duper awesome promo card.

I don't follow your math. It is almost assured that the new set will have 100 cards. It is possible that 10 of them will be promos, but that still leaves 90 new cards. If the first 10 are ($5) and each 5 after that are ($5), then the whole set would cost ($85).

Also, while this is a good deal for those of us who already play the game (to get a whole new set of cards and also a new RTS), it would probably be a complete failure at expanding the game. Who is going to plop down $85 to buy a computer game of a card game that they have never heard of?

I think it would be much more competitive if they sold the game and cards for $20. A starter deck of 100 cards would've cost $10, so this is still twice as much money for Cactus. But people are also used to paying at least $20 for a computer game, so it would seem like a good deal to a new customer. I'm just not sure that someone would plunk down more than $20 for their first ever Redemption purchase. And the beauty of this whole idea is the chance to grow the game in places where people aren't currently playing it.

I like the idea of themed decks in Tins. Notice how Rob uses "a blank" and not the uses of multiples? Its not a starter deck, but could it be 2 starter decks? Maybe 3 or 4 starter decks in Tins? I could see a 56-63 card themed starter deck in a tin. Yeah, the previous starters have had bout 100 cards in the past, and two decks, which I believe is legal to play in a tournament. (with 50 cards per deck) But while I like this idea, I don't know how do-able or profitable it would be for cactus.
So we know there will be a new set and cards this year. Could Rob be giving us hints by telling us its not in a house, with a mouse or in a tree, or to just let him be? Or is it just a Dr. Suess rhyme. Don't like the idea of the new cards via UPC's. Means people would have to buy cards they don't want or need to get the new stuff. Good for cactus, bad for expirienced players, imo. Wonder if they could do the new set via tournament promos? Doubt it, but maybe. After all, there are some cards that have been exclusive to tournaments already so it could be possible, but not probable. These are the best ideas I have right now, might have more tomorrow or later.

If they're in a box with RTS, they might be shrink wrapped or something (ie, FooF or RoA cards). But my guess is that it's a red herring... too obvious an edit.

Post by: MichaelHue on February 06, 2009, 12:04:59 PM: Theme decks ftw! They could be more advanced than starters, but hopefully almost tournament-ready for the most part. Honestly, with the Tins the way they are, we've been heading in that direction for a while. The only problem I see with this is that it's hard to make something like a pre-built deck that's good without making the cards overpowered.

now if they do make pre-maid decks it would make booster draft alot better
Meh, I tend to disagree. Booster Draft was a lot more fun before tins came out, and I don't think that having premade decks would help at all. It would make Sealed Deck more interesting though.

A good deal of Warriors has been reprinted in Kings, with Priests and other expansions/promos doing a lot more. I think there are under 1/4 of Warriors cards that have not already been reprinted, though it's been a while since I last counted.
Title: Re: What the next set is not ...
Post by: golgotha on February 06, 2009, 04:59:19 PM: Could we see the return of more of a themed "set" be it in decks or boosters? (Like Warriors, Prophets, Women, Kings, etc) Because I heard a rumor a while back, which has since been proven to be false by the following 3 or 4 expansions, that Cactus at one point was working on "Prophets 2." Like I said, prolly absoultely no truth in that, but with all of this talk bout "themed decks" or a "Themed Set" got me to remember that.Lets Face it, FooF and RoA really didn't have any general theme. Prior we had Priests which did have a overal theme, 10th Aniversary Starter decks, Angel Wars...which kinda had a theme, but just gave Silver an uneeded boost IMO, the 3rd edition starter deck....So its been since 06 for the last themed deck, and 03 before that. (excluding AW, wich I guess the theme could have been "a set to go along with the DVD's") So working backwards...03....06...09 should be due for a Themed expansion....if you follow me through all of this....
Title: Re: What the next set is not ...
Post by: SirNobody on February 06, 2009, 07:47:34 PM: Hey,

The direction the game is going with themes within each brigade a themed set would be hard because it would be almost impossible to get all of the brigade themes to work within a set theme. A womens 2 is the only thing in that respect that seems doable. I get the feeling we've seen the end of "themed" booster packs.

The next set is not:

- holographic cards
- metallic/magnetic cards
- cards that attach to a plastic gauntlet
- cards included in an action figure package
- rookie cards
- glossy cards that you have to send a mail-in certificate in order to acquire
- cards that have an alternate back emblem written in Japanese or Heiroglyphics

Post by: golgotha on February 07, 2009, 02:19:53 AM: Maybe thinking a little outside of the box here, but IF the new set is "Themed (starter) Decks" I could see it happening. Maybe more along the lines af "Mechanic Decks." Like a deck pre-built around Banding or Immunity or FBTN or WCC/WCE. And with Dual/Multi colored characters/enhancements becoming more common, it could be possible to hit some of the brigade themes as well. Just an improbable thought.

If Rob gets them in time he's had a limit quantity at Nats. He hasn't ran out the past two years that I've been there but I think he's come close. For example he didn't have copies of some of the tins left by the end.

Each of the last two years, Rob has even allowed use of the new tins as part of the Booster Draft category. The wide release of the cards comes a few weeks later because they have to come - literally - on a slow boat from China.

Post by: golgotha on February 26, 2009, 03:21:29 PM: Just a thought....What about Tribes, as in the 12 Tribes of Isreal. I remember hearing somewhere that in Jewish tradition, it is important to know your lineage back to the Tribe you are from, and ultimately back to Adam and Eve. We even know Christ as the "Lion of the Tribe of Judah" and they are mentioned in the Revelation of Jesus Christ. (More commonely know just as the last book of the Bible, Revelations) My point is, if Redemption is a game based off of the Bible, this is one aspect that seems to be missing. We have Priests from the House of Eleazer, which gives them some lineage, why not take it another step, and maybe do something with the Tribes, even if it is just a clarification. I could be wrong, but I don't know of that many cards that have that clarification on them, or that many cards that have to do with the 12 Tribes. I'm not saying that there aren't any out there, reckon most if not all of the founders of the Tribes are already cards, just that they may be underrated...:P

- not in a tree
- just let me be 8)

Perhaps it is an air set!
Could it be a Redemption version of the Ages end set! A whole FOIL set woot, time to put on the shades 8)

I heard a rumor that the next set is going to be called Bread of Life. At first I was like, "doubt it." But after thinking about it, it makes sense because it follows the pattern that began with FooF.

When I read this I too thought, what pattern? Hymns that Rob happens to like? If that were the case then this year's set would be, "Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silent." But, that's not the pattern and whatever the pattern may be has already exceeded my math skills to demonstrate such an equation for you.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spwcPxux740#hq (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spwcPxux740#hq)

1.   Let all mortal flesh keep silence,
   and with fear and trembling stand;
   ponder nothing earthly-minded,
   for with blessing in his hand,
   Christ our God to earth descendeth,
   our full homage to demand.

2.   King of kings, yet born of Mary,
   as of old on earth he stood,
   Lord of lords, in human vesture,
   in the body and the blood;
   he will give to all the faithful
   his own self for heavenly food.

3.   Rank on rank the host of heaven
   spreads its vanguard on the way,
   as the Light of light descendeth
   from the realms of endless day,
   that the powers of hell may vanish
   as the darkness clears away.

4.   At his feet the six-winged seraph,
   cherubim, with sleepless eye,
   veil their faces to the presence,
   as with ceaseless voice they cry:
   Alleluia, Alleluia,
   Alleluia, Lord Most High!

Rob

Yea, fully detailed and explicit special abilities, ftw! :D

As for the hint, you all have it wrong. The focus of the hymn is not on the angels. It's on our King.

Next set - Kings II (which should have more Judean Kings in it, I suspect.)
Title: Re: What the next set is not ...
Post by: Gabe on March 03, 2009, 11:06:56 AM: The clue was musical. I think it's safe to say the next set will be all musicians, both good and evil. I fully expect a reprint of David's Harp.

Oh, and since we know they aren't coming in packs, tins or starters I'm pretty sure they'll come with the purchase of a book of Rob's favorite hymns, for the low, low price of $99.95.

OH MY GOSH!!!!! I HAVE A HINT WHAT IT IS!!!!!!

ok so here is my idea on what it will be.

its gonna probaly be based on jesus's crusifiction its probaly gonna have more roman emps and more garden tomb heros (re-made) and it probaly will be called Bread of Life :-\ if you dont know what im talking about go to the post cactus rob gave us read what he quoted and look at the video its realy simple.

ROMAN EMPORERS WOULD BE SO AWSOME!!!!!! AND MORE ROMAN FORTS!!!!!!!!! :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o
that would be fail. Garden Tomb is already pretty powerful, as are Romans... they shouldn't make a set based off two stratagy's that are already powerful...

and i think that evil musicians would be realy fun. exept what birgade would they take over?
red's banding is still fail... I'll just be able to annihilate your deck while you are powerless to stop anything, then proceed to play Failed Objective.

so if negates are considered "protection" wich i dont thing they are the why would the scheaf say this? is it posibly because musiciand are coming out with protection cards? is it posibly because ther coming out with more musician cards? or maybe because FEO (Whatever that is) is coming out WITH MORE MUSICIANS!!!!!!!???????!!!!!!!

FEO stands for Fight Each Other - the kind of card you were talking about in the post before mine. Musicians can use Sing and Praise.

Not to mention several negates and Protection of Angels. And there's Kenny and Jeiel. And the existing card set makes it easy enough to recur the Heroes aside from all this protection.

Short version, I very seldom run out of Heroes or playable Enhancements.
Title: Re: What the next set is not ...
Post by: Warrior_Monk on March 03, 2009, 03:31:17 PM: kenny would be chenaiah.

Sing and Praise is eh... but music is powerful enough without any help... a few cards here and there would be nice, maybe a fortress discarder... though, that wouldn't be too helpful.

the Judges expansion. yes. that would be awesome. Shamgar, Samuel, W/C Barak (still red though...), Deborah... oh, it'll be awesome. and Abimilech might see more play

I don't think an online-only expansion would go over well, but perhaps having a code on the insert card that can be redeemed for virtual copies of the cards in that booster pack would work nicely in RTS 2.0.

That's an interesting thought...I've seen something similar to that on past baseball cards. My main question though is: what about past cards? Will those be made available as default cards from the beginning of the game? Plus, I don't know if there is a RTS 2.0 in the making, but I think it would be a neat idea if they made a feature where you can cut different sets from being available for a fun twist on the game (if both players agree).

Post by: uthminister [BR] on March 07, 2009, 11:20:24 AM: Personally I think it would be awesome as long as you did not have to buy the cards online and in real life. Maybe each card had a specific code on it to that card and you typed it in or each pack had a specific code in it that allowed you to pick ten cards in the rarity found in packs like 1 UR/R, 3-4 UC, and 5-6 C cards. That would keep Cactus from needing to create a overly complicated coding system. Who knows, they could even use those codes as prizes for online tournaments... Man the more I think about this the more I think it would be an awesome idea!

It isn't a matter of earning anything, it is a matter of Number of Good players in the region and total number of players. That is why the east coast, Minnesota, or Kansas/Missouri should host nationals this year. Besides why have it on the west coast (A very far distance from large player bases) when there is a reccesion taking place? Not to mention the money Rob will lose. With that being said I have the utmost respect for Bryon and company out west, however I think it is unwise to go against the numbers. California is deserving of Nationals because of all the help Bryon has given to this game. And I won't deny that, but I do question this descision. Forgive a jest here and there please.

hey, its their turn. and they have certainly earned it.

That doesn't seem to matter to some people.

It isn't a matter of earning anything, it is a matter of Number of Good players in the region and total number of players. That is why the east coast, Minnesota, or Kansas/Missouri should host nationals this year. Besides why have it on the west coast (A very far distance from large player bases) when there is a reccesion taking place? Not to mention the money Rob will lose. With that being said I have the utmost respect for Bryon and company out west, however I think it is unwise to go against the numbers. California is deserving of Nationals because of all the help Bryon has given to this game. And I won't deny that, but I do question this descision. Forgive a jest here and there please.

Just my opinion, and don't intend to flame, but the best way out of a recession is to put money into an economy. By sending us out there, we are insuring Airlines, Amtrak, Greyhound, various Hotels, and other jobs stay afloat just a little longer.

Since you don't like the competitive atmosphere at Nationals I am not sure why you are even posting. But to humor us all and amuse my self I will respond.

It is not disrespectful to deny California nationals, it just isn't centralized for everybody. That is my only disagreement. I do believe california deserves Nationals at least once but perhaps not in this economy.

Post by: crustpope on March 22, 2009, 05:48:08 PM: Eh, I was going to say something to all the California Haters but I dont really care. The deal is, even in this economy, I am thinking seriously of carpooling over there and doing an overnight 24 hour drive to NATS. If that is a problem to for you to go, then don't go. Not everyone can go to nats every year. but this year a lot of good California players, Nevada players , oregon players, Washington Players and Arizona Players will get an easy ride to nats. I think we will have about as many people there at nats this year as we had in Columbus last year. maybe a little less but there will be many New faces there because they previously have been locked out. Die hards will come No matter what so I dont think Rob will lose much if any money on Nats.

Yes, it is. It is disrespectful to "deny" anyone Natz based on selfish reasons.

That is not the only criteria for choosing a Natz location as evidenced by the NYC Natz.

Here is your most arrogant remark. Are you seriously suggesting that there are not as many "good" players on the west coast as there are in the midwest?

2.
Quote
... and total number of players.

Here is your prophetic remark. How could you possibly know how many people will attend a west coast Natz, especially since one has never been attempted? Apart from how much support they may be able to drum up on their own, there are plenty of non-whining players from across the country who will make the trip anyway.

3.

Not to mention the money Rob will lose.

Exactly how much is that again? Rob told you this directly? Even if he did lose money, that would be his decision to make. Are you seriously questioning Rob's motives for making an adult decision?

This "economy" makes any Natz difficult for anyone, no matter where it is held. See Apologentics' comment a few posts back for another reason why your logic is faulty.

Will they come in a box? Will the new cards rocks?

Will there be a new theme? We can only dream.
Word to your moms. Are there any new Doms?
Will there be Lost Souls? Does anyone knows?
Is the set better than Pats? Can we get them at Nats?

How many will there be? I guess we'll have to wait and see.

"You're not sure why I am posting on the "What the next set is not..." thread? Any notions I have about Natz is unrelated to this thread, as was your obnoxious post about Natz in the first place"

No. I am not sure why you are arguing with me about this when you don't care about Nationals. FWIW you are no more obnoxious in your posts then I am in mine. I can be over bearing at times though lol. But it was a good joke eh?

"Yes, it is. It is disrespectful to "deny" anyone Natz based on selfish reasons."

However not only on selfish reasons.

"That is not the only criteria for choosing a Natz location as evidenced by the NYC Natz."

Correct that is why I mentioned two criteria in my second post. I should have said my MAIN argument instead of my "only"

"Here is your most arrogant remark. Are you seriously suggesting that there are not as many "good" players on the west coast as there are in the midwest?"

The mark was posted with no arrogant intent, it is simple true. If you want me to show you I will do so.

"Here is your prophetic remark. How could you possibly know how many people will attend a west coast Natz, especially since one has never been attempted? "

Perhaps one has never been attempted for this very reason.

" Apart from how much support they may be able to drum up on their own, there are plenty of non-whining players from across the country who will make the trip anyway."
I love how you automatically assume I am whining. Plenty yes, but not as many as if it were somewhere else.

"Exactly how much is that again? Rob told you this directly? Even if he did lose money, that would be his decision to make. Are you seriously questioning Rob's motives for making an adult decision?"

By losing money I ment not gaining as much as if Nationals would be some where else (meeting the two criteria I mentioned, or even one). I admire that about Rob though.. Sacrificing money for a friend... beautiful and because of that it is a sound and wise desiscion. With that being said from a players and business stand point it would be ideal not to have Nationals in California.

This "economy" makes any Natz difficult for anyone, no matter where it is held. See Apologentics' comment a few posts back for another reason why your logic is faulty.

You completely dodge my point. It is even more difficult to have it out in California for everybody else. All I was saying was that on top of not having a lot of players out west, there are bad economic happening all around us.

I may not be on for at least 4 days so don't be alarmed if I don't respond to your next post.

Aside from "good" being subjective, it is worth noting that no more than a handful of west coast players have attended Nats. You've never even heard of, much less played, most of the players in our region. Come out here and sweep Nats, then you can say you've shown me.

And perhaps turtles can eat pineapple. Wild and unsubstantiated guesses are not needed. And considering the 2008 Southwest regionals was held in the Los Angeles are and tied for the highest attendance when Bryon polled the hosts, there is a theoretical attendance increase that can happen this year.

I'm not entirely sure of this. Quite a few people are going to try and make the trip. Besides, pretty much the entire west coast will attend, as there is probably not going to be another shot of them attending a Nats for another 10 years.

As a neutral participant who is watching this thread, I am shaking my head in frustration. What is done, is done. So, like the good Christians that I know and respect you all for being, just CHILL OUT! Ad Hominem attacks are not going to change a thing for either side of an argument.

YMT, I know you are trying to defend the West Coast and I admire that, but you don't see anyone from the West Coast in this argument... why? They are just glad to have Nationals, so if they don't care then why do you?

Hobbit, I know you were just pointing things out and making claims with no evil intent, but the defense of your posts could have been a little milder.

Since neither of you are going to be at Nationals, what is all the fuss about?

I enjoy listening to you two, just not when you are squabbling over something that has already been decided. I hope I have not offended you, but I thought I should step in and say something since you both could obviously use the EASY BUTTON right now.

Im guessing that it is the fact that neither of them are going to Nats ;)

a couple of other things. for those who dont know how to "quote" someone. I'm gonna learn ya to quote because tryignto read your posts w/o quotes is driving me crazy! :o

The first and easiest way to quote someone is to go to their post and hit the "quote" button above and to the far right of their post. I know..it sounds crazy but it does work.

The second way to quote someone is to hit reply to a message and then scroll down in the previous posts on the topic summary to the post you want and hit "insert quote". You can quote several different people this way by just hitting the insert quote button above the proper posts.

Third you can simply surround the phrase you want to quote in "quote brackets" by typing this... [.quote.]insert phrase here[.quote.] I have added periods before and after the word quote so y ou can see how it is done. for this way to work you have to remove those periods or it wont work.

Play around with it to get reall good at it and before long you will be quoteing like the schaef in no time.

Actually the front quote is [.quote] and the back quote is [./quote] Maybe both work, IDK.

I think you misunderstood my comment. Of course, I may have used a poor word choice with "worth." Perhaps "warrants a response" would have been better. He said he was going to be gone for 4 days and I was letting him know that there would not be a reponse that he would have to worry about.

However, I agree that my post does not "warrant a response" either. I have said all that I will say, at the request of a west-coaster. ;D
