Human phenomena
Near-Death Experience
Déjà Vu
Reaction · Human Phenomenon · Faith Cost 3
Proposed alpha effect: After an opposed physical battle roll determines that your Character would lose, but before resolving defeat or other battle consequences, pay 3 Faith. Discard both sides’ final dice results and repeat their rolls. Your Character gains +1 Attack if attacking, or +1 Defense if defending, for the repeated contest. Use the new results.
Replay limits: Both sides reroll. Existing paid costs and combat modifiers remain; targets do not change and earlier effects are not replayed. Only one Déjà Vu may be used per battle.
Timing exception: Play only after the original opposed roll is complete and before its consequences resolve, not during a roll. This specifically permits a post-roll Reaction. Resurrection Hope instead applies after defeat.
Real-world inspiration: Déjà vu is the feeling that a present experience has happened before. The replay and +1 bonus are a fictional game interpretation, not evidence of actual time reversal or improved prediction.

Read the companion storyResurrection Hope
Reaction · Christianity · Faith Cost 3
Proposed alpha effect: Immediately after a Christian Living Character you control is defeated in a physical battle, pay 3 Faith and roll 1d6, adding that defeated Character’s Faith. If the total equals or exceeds the attacker’s completed Attack total, return the defeated Character to play exhausted.
Rescue is not required: You may use this Reaction whether Marcus Hale is absent, does not attempt a rescue, or attempts a rescue and fails. If a rescue prevents defeat, this card does not trigger.
Timing: This card specifically permits a Reaction immediately after defeat is resolved. It does not interrupt a roll already in progress. Its Faith roll uses the defeated Character’s Faith stat, not the player’s Faith resource.
Selected for the first 25-card development group. Cost and effect await playtesting. This fictional supernatural effect draws on Christian resurrection belief.

Deregulation
Action · Political · Conservative · Faith Cost 1
Proposed alpha effect: The next Action you play this turn costs 2 less Faith, to a minimum of 0.
The discount expires at the end of your turn and cannot stack with another Deregulation. It reduces only the printed Faith Cost of playing that Action, not additional costs or ability activation costs, including Quantum Computing Access’s repeatable activation.
Proposed eligibility: Requires the Conservative conviction or a friendly Conservative Character. Matching eligibility remains subject to the final category-wide rules.
Selected for the first 25-card development group. Wording and costs await playtesting.

Reaction · Political · Conservative · Faith Cost 2
Proposed alpha effect: Before either die is rolled for an opponent’s Set Defiance challenge against one of your components, give that component +2 to its defensive total for this challenge.
Declare and pay before rolling begins. This bonus applies only to this challenge and does not make the component Stabilized.
Proposed eligibility: Requires the Conservative conviction or a friendly Conservative Character. Matching eligibility remains subject to the final category-wide rules.

Proposed alpha effect: Choose up to two friendly LGBTQ+ Characters. Each gains +1 to its Faith stat until the end of your turn.

15 cards · five Set Reserves
Three-card sets — Version 0.2.6 Alpha
Each player brings one separate three-card Set Reserve. Components unlock through active milestones and must still be paid for and protected. Q-ASI component mechanics are being revised; existing card images show earlier wording. The other four sets remain playtest prototypes.
Tap to enlarge the cardsEarlier image · Revised mechanics below
Q-ASI
Quantum Computing Access · Rowan 7 · Argus
REVISED ALPHA PROPOSALS · 17 OCTOBER 2026These three components use the existing Set Reserve milestones. Each completed milestone unlocks one component of your choice; unlocking does not waive its establishment or deployment cost.
1 of 3 · Quantum Computing Access
Action — Technology · Establishment Cost 3 Faith · Activation Cost 5 Faith
During your Action Phase, pay 3 Faith to establish this unlocked component face up in your Set Area. Establishing it does not give a free activation.
Once during your turn, while this component is established, you may pay 5 Faith: look at the top three cards of your deck, put one into your hand, and place the remaining two on the bottom of your deck in any order.
This is an ongoing activated effect printed on a Set Area component. It remains face up, contributes to Q-ASI completion, and can be disrupted through Set Defiance. After disruption and the required wait, re-establish it for 3 Faith; its activation still costs 5 Faith.
2 of 3 · Rowan 7
Retain the established Rowan 7 card: Attack 3, Defense 5, Faith 7, Faith Cost 6, Selfless Intervention and his 3 Health exception. When another Character you control would be defeated in a physical battle, you may remove 1 Health from Rowan 7 to prevent that defeat. Exhaust the protected Character. If Rowan 7 reaches 0 Health, he is defeated.
3 of 3 · Argus
Digital Character · Attack 4 · Defense 6 · Faith 3 · Faith Cost 7
Tactical Assessment: Once per round, before a combat roll involving another friendly Character, pay 2 Faith and choose one: that Character gains +2 Attack or +2 Defense for that combat.
Declare and pay before dice rolling begins. This ability can support Living or Digital Characters, but not Argus itself. Its once-per-round use resets at the start of your turn. This replaces the earlier Threat Assessment passive ability.
Argus is the original system before Q-ASI integration. A1 is its later self-chosen identity, not an additional playable card. Read the original development backstory.
Full-set payoff · Approved for playtest
Completion — System Integration: Choose up to two opposing Characters and exhaust them. They recover normally during their controller’s next Recover Phase.
While Complete — Q-ASI Online: Rowan 7 gains +1 Attack and +1 Defense. Once per turn while complete, you may reroll one die rolled for a Digital Character you control, even if another effect already rerolled it; use the new result. Spend the set use; it cannot refresh or answer itself. The first time each turn one of your Digital Characters wins a battle or makes a successful direct attack, the opposing player loses 1 Resolve (3 total for a successful direct attack).
Use the approved October 28 timing: the set reroll is available after the eligible completed roll and before consequences, including after a fully resolved Déjà Vu. Argus has no extra Health. Read the complete current amendments.

First-fifth character development
Dana Rusk
Backstory and alpha gameplay proposal ready. Original artwork and convictions forthcoming.
Explore Dana Rusk →First development group · Three new Events
Historical pressure on convictions
Each Event costs 6 Faith and targets one named conviction. Matching determines who is affected; it does not require the player using the Event to hold that conviction. These are proposed alpha mechanics, awaiting playtesting.
Shared resolution: The player using the Event rolls 1d6 + 4 once. Each opposing Character with the named conviction separately rolls 1d6 + its Defense. For each defender whose total is lower, its controller loses 1 Resolve. Characters are not defeated by this effect.
If the opposing player has the matching Conviction card, that player also makes one separate 1d6 + 4 defense roll and loses 1 Resolve if its total is lower than the Event total. Ties favor the defender. Total Resolve loss from one Event is capped at 4.
Resolve these as one Event, announcing eligibility and allowing the normal pre-roll Reaction opportunity before rolling begins. The three cards use equal mechanics for game balance; this does not equate their histories, severity, or human cost.
Edicts Against Christians
Event · Faith Cost 6 · Targets Christianity
Use the shared resolution above against opposing Christianity Characters and the opposing player’s matching Conviction card.
Beginning in 303 CE, imperial edicts under Diocletian ordered the destruction of churches and scriptures and imposed penalties on Christians. Contemporary accounts describe escalating persecution.
Tea Party Targeting
Event · Faith Cost 6 · Targets Conservative
Use the shared resolution above against opposing Conservative Characters and the opposing player’s matching Conviction card.
Conservative organizations seeking tax-exempt status faced inappropriate IRS screening criteria, intrusive questioning, and delays. A 2017 Justice Department settlement announcement described disproportionate effects on conservative groups. Later Treasury review also examined inappropriate criteria involving other viewpoints; the historical claim is not that only conservatives were affected.
The Lavender Scare
Event · Faith Cost 6 · Targets LGBTQ+
Use the shared resolution above against opposing LGBTQ+ Characters and the opposing player’s matching Conviction card.
Beginning in the late 1940s, a federal campaign sought to remove employees because of actual or perceived homosexuality. Executive Order 10450 in 1953 intensified discrimination that damaged livelihoods and communities.
Development note: A unique-card audit of the overall 120-card map is pending. Characters that also belong to three-card sets must be counted only once. The 25-card group above already follows that rule.
