[A156-165] Anchilles to Andorian

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. A couple of Program cards, incoming...

THE ENTRIES:
[156] Anchilles fever
[157] Ancient Philosophies
[158] Ancient West
[159] Andarian glass bead
[160] Andevian II 

How Decipher handled it, for comparison:
NOTES: 
[156] Probing on a dilemma doesn't leave you much space to work with, does it? Source: While first mentioned in TNG's "Code of Honor", the virus was pictured in Enterprise's "Cold Station 12".
[157] Something to seed yourself? I say "first artifact encountered" because there may be more than one under such missions as Orb Negotiations, and both opponents may have seeded one under the same mission. Source: "The Host"
[158] None of the named characters were in the game when I made this card (which is naturally a Program under my scheme). Holodeck Adventures would make it an Incident called Holoprogram: Deadwood, included for comparison's sake. They're sort of complementary. Source: "A Fistful of Datas"
[159] Source: "Business as Usual"
[160] A Brief Romance encountered anywhere on the table affects the couple at Andevian Picnic instead of personnel randomly selected among the Away Team. Source: "The Foresaken"

And now: Time to open the liquor cabinet!


THE ENTRIES:
[161] Andolian brandy
[162] Andonian tea
[163] Andoria
[164] Andorian ale
[165] Andorian amoeba 

NOTES: 
[161] Source: "Move Along Home", picture of fan-made bottles in a Star Trek style.
[162] A Food card for your Bluegill infiltrator or even Dominion Founder to play on an opponent's Mess Hall. It boosts Bluegill STRENGTH, but also allows for Alien Parasites to hit more easily. Nice of  the show to actually start a scene on a food. Source: "Conspiracy"
[163] Decipher had not yet produced an Andorian. AtoZ has Shrev (coming soon).
[164] Source: "Proving Ground"
[165] Looking at my original design, I tweaked it to limit it to a single turn to avoid TOO much note-keeping. Source: "Tuvix"

Next up: More Andorian stuff!

Cards: Anchilles Fever, Ancient Philosophies, Ancient West, Andarian Glass Bead, Andevian Picnic, Andolian Brandy, Andonian Tea, Study Andorian Practices, Andorian Ale, Andorian Amoeba

[A1-5] 'audet IX to Abandoned

Back in the late 90s, when I was deep into the Star Trek Collectible Card Game world, one of the projects I was doing on Decipher's Bulletin Boards was a massive set of dream cards under the banner "AtoZ" (with respect to Mr. Atoz of "All Our Yesterdays"). Essentially, I took the Star Trek Encyclopedia and attempted to create an ST CCG dream card for every entry, unless the character or concept already had a card, and I think at the time, Decipher didn't have access to TOS and the movies, so those seem to be excluded as well. I got to the middle of the M's, which accounts for thousands of cards. But the thing, see, is that none of those cards had graphics. They were all just text-based. Recently, I reconnected with the ST CCG community, some of them working with the Continuing Committee, which is still making new cards. They hooked me up with excellent templates from which to bring dream cards to life. And so I've gone back to my notes a...

Apocalypse Rising Virtual Pack

I didn't do this for EVERY letter, but the first two AtoZ "expansions" had working booster packs of 15 cards, sorted like so: 11 commons (of 100 possibilities), 3 uncommons (of 100 possibilities) and 1 rare (of 113 possibilities). Which means that every time you refresh this page, you will get a different distribution of cards! Makes a nice palate cleanse before heading into the Encyclopedia's B's. Note that Enhanced Apocalypse Rising would have been 4 special packs with set card lists, and A's Broken Links would have come in a 40-page box, so those cards aren't in the booster.
