New Redemption Grab Bag now includes an assortment of 500 cards from five (5) different expansion sets. Available at Cactus website.
Where did you guys get that art from? How would you make that work with actually publishing the cards?
What if Cactus had an art scholarship program where students could submit their work and win X amount of dollars for college? I've seen plenty of great quality art from college and high school students. Couldn't this be a win/win? The legal/financial details would have to be worked out but basically Cactus gets permission to use any art that is submitted in the competition and the students have a chance to earn money for college and get their work used professionally which I think would be good for their portfolio. I think you might be able to get a fair amount of entries because the range of subject matter is large and almost any art style is possible. Cactus could also benefit by not just using art for Redemption but for their other board games, rulebooks, website, etc. This could also help broaden their exposure to new students and even colleges/high schools if they partner with them. I mentioned this idea to Rob and he didn't seem opposed but just inclined to think it would take a lot of time he didn't have to set up. He may have been joking but I think he even said that I was welcome to do it. Thoughts?
For characters and enhancements, it's just comparable (assuming border busters in the current template), but for Dominants, Fortresses, and (the way I see it in my head) Curses/Covenants/Artifacts, the new template is way better.
