[B66-70] Barbo to Bardeezan

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. Cards for stuff never onscreen (sigh)...

THE ENTRIES:
[66] Barbo
[67] Barclay's Protomorphosis Syndrome (no card required)
[68] Barclay, Reginald (no card required)
[69] Bardakian pronghorn moose
[70] Bardeezan merchant ship 

NOTES: 
[66] If some of my Ferengi don't have incredible special skills, it's because, at the stage I was writing them, the affiliation needed regular skills too. Referenced in "The Nagus" (I've used a Ferengi waiter from that episode)
[67] Was made available as the dilemma Barclay's Protomorphosis Disease in the Basic Set.
[68] Reginald Barclay's first personnel card came out in the Basic Set as well.
[69] Say there are 5 opposing personnel. When the Moose turns up in your pile, it attacks the next two in your opponent's pile. Both suffer the Moose's attack. If either one stuns the Moose, it is stunned and so on. Two stun results do not equal a mortally wounded result. If there is only one opposing personnel left when Moose is uncovered, it only attacks the one. If the Moose faces a dual-personnel card, it only attacks that one (I guess it's in trouble). Referenced in "Unification II"
[70] The personnel remains unknown to your opponent until they either play a Long-Range Scan on the ship, or the personnel has to reveal itself to resolve a dilemma, solve a mission, get involved in a personnel battle, etc. Referenced in "The Maquis, Part I"

Next up: I won't be doing Bareil, but Honey Bare? Yes.

Cards: Barbo, Bardakian Pronghorn Moose, Bardeezan Vessel

[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...
