This was a bit of a free for all with lots of different discussions and even a brand new spoiler from the new set. We missed having Jake on this episode as he is spending time with his family following the arrival of their first child, so this episode is dedicated in honor of baby Noah!

There's lots of good takeaways from this if you have ever considered taking the dive into becoming a Redemption content creator.

**Disclaimer**

This round table discussion was recorded in October of 2024. Some of the references will alert you to that, but the heart of the content is still useful.

As you will hear in the episode, Tyler Stevens, also known as Mr.Hiatus, was not able to join us for this recording. His answers to the questions we answered are below:

• What is the reason you chose to be a content creator for the game of Redemption?

"At the time, it was just Jayden doing deck content. I love building decks and talking, so I figured I might as well make a channel. I also thought it would help me from a designer standpoint to get more intuned to the meta."

• What was your initial goal and/or inspiration?

"My initial goal was to constantly know the meta from a design standpoint and to give back to the community."

• How has your content grown or evolved over time?

"My content hasn’t grown much over time I just got myself in my channels. Slowly and surely getting higher quality, but I set the bar low for myself!"

• How much work is involved with taking your content from idea to published work?

"For me, it’s not too complicated to take an idea to publish. I don’t edit, so as long as I know the deck, I can get the video done in one take."

• What is your favorite piece of content you have created?

"Practice to Lose video"

• What was the most challenging?

"The most challenging is aspect of content, for me, is creativity and consistency. Having material come out weekly to bi-weekly and having decks be creative."

• How do you balance enjoyment of the game with the work required to produce content?

"Enjoyment of the game, for me, at this point is deck building and design. I still like being competitive, but my enjoyment comes from designing cards and sharing decks. So content for me is genuinely fun."

• Have you ever "burned out" and what was that experience like? What pulled you back in or kept you in past that?

"Shoutout to Brian Jones who has checked in on me for burnout. I make decks. I make videos. I’m on discord seemingly 24/7. I design cards and playtest. I love every bit of it. I’m not burned out yet, but will make sure I always keep the community and design as a priority. I don’t have kids…yet. "

• How do you safeguard yourself against burnout?

"Safeguarding myself against burnout is creativity. If I don’t have new cards or new decks, I get bored. Designing new cards and decks brings me back to enjoyment. "

• What does the future of your content look like?

"The future of my content will be the same, I imagine, and maybe some other behind the scenes content. I do want to do a Bible deep dive and card creation live, like I somewhat showed with Omen Interpreter. Going through some of the Bible and making cards “live” would be amazing."

• What advice would you give to someone else who is considering creating content for the game?

"My advice for anyone, understand the time it takes and be real with yourself if you can give that time to the community. Also, keep it fun."
