[B201-205] Big Bang to U.S.S. Biko

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. Ready for the Big Goodbye?

THE ENTRIES:
[201] Big Bang
[202] "Big Goodbye, The" (episode)
[203] "Big Goodbye, The"
[204] big daddy-o
[205] Biko, U.S.S.

NOTES:
[201] This Time Location is found in the Q-Continuum side-deck. Only one player can benefit from the points, and only once. It can be reached like any other time location (through time travel), but from a starting point in any "present" location. This used to just say Quinn, but Decipher later made a Quinn interrupt, so I had to tweak the game text. Source: Voyager's "Death Wish"
[202] Holodeck will be a ship site in AtoZ. If there is no Holodeck site, any personnel present may be affected. If there is, and no personnel are at that site, relocate the missing personnel by randomly selecting the targets from total pool of personnel aboard ship. Since Program cards don't need the Holodeck site to work (just the special equipment), the cure will work for everyone. To cure, you must discard your current program and play another. If no program is currently on the Holodeck, playing one will cure the dilemma. Source: "The Big Goodbye"
[203] The Program can't, however, coexist with other Program cards, even itself. If Amazing Detective Stories is discarded, The Big Goodbye isn't necessarily so. And you can say goodbye to (discard) any hologram present, not just Dixon Hill-related ones. Source: "The Big Goodbye"
[204] Basically gives a huge boost in RANGE (the original concept had it play as an Event and give ALL your ships the boost, which was deemed too powerful for armada decks). Tom Paris is NOT Thomas Paris. Source: "Alter Ego"
[205] The Encyclopedia misidentified it as an Olympic-class ship (like the Pasteur), so I gave it a classification just like that ship. It's really an Oberth and was on screen, so I adjusted the stats/staffing, but kept the classification. Source: "A Fistful of Datas"

[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...

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.

[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...
