Is this a new project of yours, Daniel? If so, it looks really good!

I like the look of this. I would note two things, however.

1) If you are thinking of producing physical cards there is a practical production reason why most cards are not full bleed. From a previous investigation of POD firms, I believe that all of them are looking to produce bordered cards only.

2) LCG is trade marked or copy written to Fantasy Flight, so you may want your own three letter acronym.  What about XCG--with X meaning eXpandable and standing for Christ?

How are you changing up the mechanics to separate it from Redemption?

It appears that he has no Strength/Toughness. That by itself would be a relatively large shift in mechanics.

Redemption has cards with no numbers:

Actually, the opposite is true. Full bleed cards eliminate the risk of "drift" affecting the look of a card. For example, many Redemption cards' white borders reveal that the design is off center and looks bad. The Game Crafter (which I'm using) encourages full bleed cards.

That's a pretty great idea! I think I might roll with that. I was only calling it an LCG because it follows that format.

Lambo is correct, this is a card that happens to have no strength/toughness. However, MJB is very correct that this game has a large shift in mechanics. More on that later.

That looks great!

  Those look pretty sick would definitley buy them if they every were produced.

I gotta say, the more I develop this game, the less it's resembling Redemption. I guess the only thing connecting the two is that this game is created by a former Redemption player, and many cards are based off biblical verses. Here's a sample card using the art from Angel from the Tomb. All art posted here will be changed, as I have commissioned artists especially for this game and they are at work.

Where do you get the paintings Daniel, they look awesome!
