unlocked a memory from christian camp where if we behaved they would give us one card per day from a religious magic the gathering knockoff

it was called REDEMPTION

I'm catholic and was born and raised catholic and went to catholic school and live in a country that likes to call itself catholic

But occasionally the small windows that gets opened into the American Christian Media ecosystem for me by folks who know it or lived it feel like broadcasts from an alien planet

#Christian Media #christianity #catholicism

seems kinda rude that Huge Egyptian is a 9/9 but his text is just the verse where he gets fuckin murked

EDIT: posts with other creature (?) cards make it clear that double-digit stats are the rule rather than the exception, so not only did they make Knockoff Bible MTG they also copied Yu-Gi-Oh's concept of "MTG but big number"

"the book of Leviticus does describe him as being 'jacked'..."

Contemplating the theological implications of this game being balanced or not.

Looking at the rules, it looks like both players are playing both good and evil characters, which is an interesting take

I adore how poorly formatted the cards are. The huge text box area that is purely devoted to bible verses, meaning they have to put the actual rules text over the art is such a choice

samantha riedel @samanthaistyping10/26/2023, 6:07 PM

i'm so conditioned to look in the text box i legit didn't even notice there was rules text on half of these

Huge Egyptian is my favourite minor character from the Golgo 13 NES game

It is called Redemption. They've been running for nearly 30 years and are still releasing expansions. https://www.cactusgamedesign.com/redemption/

I can't get over one of the artist credits being basically just "idk lol"

i remember this! 😄

the game itself is actually kind of nuts, you draw 3 cards per turn. You only attack with one hero who's blocked by one villain, and then you and your opponent both stack a dozen equipments and buffs on them to see who comes out on top. You try to rescue souls from your opponent's Land of Bondage or something.

at least one version of the rulebook said to consult the Bible to answer any questions about card targeting regarding who counts as a "prophet", who counts as a "martyr", etc. It looks like nowadays they just have a giant list of qualifiers that they keep updated with their own Bible research though, which is better but way less funny.

also it's still going nowadays, and there's an expansion set called simply "The Women"

Bad Figs card
