Hi! I'm the one that some of you are giving cards to. I am starting a playgroup at my school in Spencer, NY - I am looking at an October launch (it depends on when my school starts their afterschool clubs.) I think it will meet 1 or 2 days a week afterschool with focus on game play, sportsmanship, and the Biblical basis of Redemption.
When I launch, I will use starters to teach my students how to play and gradually introduce custom decks. I hope to host a first tournament or take students to their first tournament in January (maybe December). I anticipate 5 or so students at first (its a small school), and there is one homeschool family whom I will be giving a starter to.
I hope to host several spring tournaments (I will coordinate with Roy and anyone else holding NY tourneys). Roy hopes that I can host States and/or Regionals. I have 2 maybe 3 different places that I could host tournaments at - depending on tourney size. (Hotels and fast food are relatively close.)
Other NY players give me a shout - I would love your support and your presence in my playgroup. I am in the southern tier of the Finger Lakes region (south of Ithaca). Since it will be a school activity I would need to know in advance if anyone wanted to come to an afterschool playgroup meeting.
Things I will need help with: hosting tournaments, judging tournaments, teaching deck building, teaching TEAMS rules, cards (see thread in Redemption Market). If you know people in my area who want to play, have played in the past, or you think should play, have them contact me! (on here or by email -

Be on the lookout for tourneys and stuff from the upstate!
