Welcome to the Official Redemption® Message Board!
My brother and I have recently starting hosting tournaments in the south FL area and are trying to grow our group and we're also praying and believing for growth. We'd like to impact the secular hobby shop we play at and change the climate & culture there for the better. In addition to the prize support provided by Catus, we have decided to also give out door prizes and prizes for any one without any RNRS points. Prizes like play mats, sleeves, dice, posters, deck boxes, single cards, counters, etc. I'd like to be know to be the biggest group of players who give among the other play groups there. I've got creative with the counters. I went down to the arts & crafts store and found tiny items that are found in and through out the Bible. For example: tiny bibles, bread, sword, shield, oil, wine, fruit, staff, crown, scepter, scrolls, dove, stones, etc. I found some of these in the section for doll houses (no jokes pls) and some in the woodcrafts section of the store. These would be great for counters. I just wanted to share that, maybe some of you would like to have fun with that, God bless you!

How does it work with the oil though? Not sure if I'd want my counters to be doves, but swords sound awesome. Now that I think about it, I'm going to bring a bunch of Lego swords to my next tourney. Great idea!Also, blessings on growing your playgroup. I know that one of the hosts in my area routinely gives out prizes for the game nights he hosts at our church. It's really cool to be able to give stuff away to kids who may not win tournaments routinely.

Hey, I stole* most of my counters from children* Technically they were confiscated not stolen.

no, they are from grown men who said that an RLK could beat sir nobody.

something we recently started in our playgroup is awarding a TexP pack to someone who can say all the books of the Bible. you could also say just Old Testament or New Testament for a Deck Box or Sleeves.

interesting deck thought, but Son of God is for noobs. otherwise, I like it!
i would make custom deckboxes. doable. EDIT:dude that's awsome.
You would need some expensive shop equipment to make a good quality wooden one. And I don't think you could make a good quality carboard one with anything. However, if you are not looking for quality, then this is a fabulous idea.

And I don't think you could make a good quality carboard one with anything. However, if you are not looking for quality, then this is a fabulous idea.I think Wild Bill has some designs of wooden deck boxes in the works. And he's a shop teacher, so I'm guessing he has the equipment to make them good quality.
I talked to my graphics teacher today, and beings I'm one of the few people in the class getting an A and that has everything done, I could print my own custom sleeves if I wanted. He has all the right equipment to perfect the image so the sleeve isn't "marked", high quality ink, etc. Not sure if I want to do it, though. It'd take a few days after school and I'm not sure if I want to commit that.
but dude its custom sleeves if you could do it i would pay to have it done where i send the image in and get my 100 sleeves.

I won't have access to any equipment after this school year, and I have many other projects in the second half of the semester due. If I do decide to print them, I'll probably only have time to print ~60 and those would be mine >:c.Anyway, I'm sure he'd end up charging me for extra supplies if I went printing crazy.... Thats no fun.
Of course I will need some deck box testers to make sure they hold up to a rigorous tournament season and to make suggestions for improvements.
Deck testers have to attend the MN type 2 only tournament to pick up their deck boxes.They would be to valuable to send in the mail.
Too bad I have to work for a living, otherwise I could start production.
