Introductory Video Inclusion Ideas

Apparently, another introductory Redemption video is in the works. I appreciate previous efforts, but I'm looking forward to the new one. I've wanted to share a video with new people, but haven't been comfortable for one reason or another sending them the previous efforts.

After watching TableTop, DiceTower,  some of the Day9 Spellslingers videos, Couple vs. Cardboard, and even the Most Complicated Board Game Ever video, I've wanted even more to see something done nicely.

Obviously, those producing this video will have creative license, but maybe it would be helpful for us to brainstorm some of the possibilities for what to and what not to include in an introductory video.

Video could introduce:
- Type of game
- How to get cards / CCG concept
- Theme
- Objective --> I've found it important at times to note that one player doesn't pick the evil side to try and win. In other words, the Heroes always win the game.
- Layout Overview
- Turn Stages

I love the TableTop format with an introduction to the game at the very beginning, and then the gameplay run-through interspersed with further information about what is going on in the game. I'm sure that would take quite a bit of planning, but I'd encourage that format.

Gil, thanks for taking the time to do the research and leg work for this idea! That's going to be a big help the people putting this together!

I also desire to see good quality videos made for Redemption, like the ones you've referenced. Those take a lot of time, good equipment and a certain degree of knowledge. I have access to equipment and a basic knowledge. I hope that over the next several months I can work on this piece by piece. I'd welcome any effort by others who are able to produce quality content as well. That will certainly help things move along quicker.

Rob and I discussed tutorial videos when making the 4th Edition Starter decks and he advised that he'd like to see video segments that break down the game interactions. I feel like going through the examples in the rulebook will have a lot of value.

Initially, just to get something available, I know a couple guys are going to start recording demos over Lackey. While they won't be on par with the quality of examples you gave, they will give us something of decent quality that's fresh and pertains to the 4th Edition I/J Starter deck.
Have you visited the Land of Redemption today?
