[A81-90] Aldebaran Whiskey to Alixia

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. Feeling peckish? I've got a lot of Food cards to present...

THE ENTRIES:
[81] Aldebaran whiskey
[82] Aldebaran
[83] Aldorian ale
[84] Alenis Grem
[85] Alfarian hair pasta

NOTES: 
[81] Romulan personnel already aboard when card is played may remain, but no new personnel can join them. For the Romulan player, the attribute modifiers hold for Away Teams at this location. Scotty doesn't need a special Site to get his hands on this. Source: "Relics", though it was of course first seen in TOS' "By Any Other Name".
[82] This is the planet where Aldebaran Music Academy may be played. Source: TOS' "The Deadly Years" (picture from the CG-enhanced version)
[83] Source: "The Perfect Mate"
[84] Someone you leave at home. Source: "Second Skin"
[85] Always loved the Barbering cards. Here's another. Source: "Parturition"

And now: Our first ANIMAL card!


THE ENTRIES:
[86] algae puffs
[87] Algira sector
[88] Algorian ceremonial rhythms
[89] Algorian mammoth
[90] Alixia 

NOTES: 
[86] While Neelix prepared these, I have not slapped the Delta Quadrant icon on them. I figure algae pretty much grows everywhere. The planets targeted are considered hostile to humanoid life and include (but are not limited to) Access Relay Station (Callinon VII), Cargo Rendezvous (Beltane IX) and Sarthong Plunder (Sarthong V). Only a handful of missions are actually affected, no more than reason for a free card play, although AtoZ obviously adds to that. Source: "Remember"
[87] Lets even the Cardassians use Runabouts. Source: "The Die Is Cast"
[88] Second function (based on the Trade Conference where the pic was snapped, couldn't fit it into the lore): If this is a planet location, the Diplomacy personnel must still be aboard ship while an Away Team attempts the mission. Source: "Ménage à Troi"
[89] The Encyclopedia lists a number of animals used in the show only in comparisons ("as blind as a Tiberian bat", is a classic example). This gives me a chance to add to our menagerie. The Mammoth is mostly an aid to personnel battles. Hypospray may not be used on it for either effect (good or bad) due to its mass. Silly, I know. The picture comes from the Decipher Star Trek RPG (the Creatures sourcebook), though I've added the background. Source: "The Wire"
[90] Reminder: Outposts are in space. Source: "Mortal Coil"

Next up: "All Good Things..." (no, I'm not stopping, haha)

Cards: Aldebaran Whiskey, Hold for Questioning, Aldorian Ale, Alenis Grem, Alfarian Hair Pasta, Algea Puffs, Find Lost Runabout, Algorian Ceremonial Rhythms, Algorian Mammoth, Alixia

[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 Incid...

[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.
