[B251-255] Bloodworms to Blue Alert

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. Blue alert!

THE ENTRIES:
[251] bloodworms
[252] Bloom sisters
[253] Blue Horizon
[254] Blue Parrot Cafe
[255] blue alert

Decipher's version, for comparison:
NOTES: 
[251] A Bloodworm played as Food still has its skills, but not its attributes or classification. It does not take part in personnel battles or mission attempts. It still has its skills, though, and, Food-like, requires upkeep (by a Klingon) and may return to hand and play to Food-serving sites. If a Klingon leaves the site, you have the option of taking the Bloodworm back into your hand, and replaying it as a personnel. Source: "Stratagem"
[252] A female Captain Kirk. Source: Referenced in "Family", the pic is of the twins who played little Alexandra in "When the Bough Breaks" (to keep it in the - cough - family).
[253] When seeded, the owner of the card selects the requirements - one skill, one skill x2, one named unique personnel, and one attribute to be higher than 35. Example: Klingon Intelligence + (Treachery x2 OR Bo'rak) + STRENGTH>35. Source: Referenced in "Second Sight"
[254] Source: "We'll Always Have Paris"
[255] The Voyager expansion later gave us a Blue Alert Incident (included for comparison). Source: "The 37's"

Next up: Some people are just more open-minded.

Cards: Bloodworm, Bloom Sisters, Terraformed World, A Round of Drinks, Blue Alert

[A156-165] Anchilles to Andorian

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...
