Broken Links [BL-B6-10] Espionage: Federation on Romulan to Forra Gegen

More Broken Links... This time: Introducing a Q-Personnel.

BROKEN LINKS:
[6] Espionage: Federation on Romulan
[7] Baseball personnel
[8] Q personnel
[9] Food Fight
[10] Voth personnel

NOTES: 
[6] Barber Shop [B65] downloads it (it's a reference to Mot making the wigs). Source: "Unification I"
[7] As promised, more baseball characters. If used, Baseball goes to the point area, so her special ability recovers one that wasn't actually used. Source: "Take Me Out to the Holosuite"
[8] Q-icon personnel must be stocked in the Q-Continuum side-deck and all follow the following rules: They immediately report anywhere on opponent's side of the table (from the point of view of the player encountering the Q-Flash). They are played as opponent's own until any Q-Flash (usually). They may not be killed, disabled, placed in stasis or captured except by an opposing Q-Personnel (they are always "stopped" instead). If the Q-Personnel has a persona listed, the "immediately reports" clause makes it impossible to switch personae again and keep the Q-Personnel in hand until AFTER a Q-Flash and re-report them. They must always be "immediately played", so are always in play. A Q-Personnel was required of Q Reincarnated [B145] and while there IS one in AtoZ somewhere, it could use more. Her special skill allows her ship to move to other quadrants and Time Locations. Source: "The Q and the Gray"
[9] Imagine your Jem'Hadar getting killed by a birthday cake... Banana Split [B55] downloads it. Source: "Suddenly Human"
[10] Bio-Dart [B+47] references Voth personnel, so I've created a little subset of Voth cards in this batch of Broken Links. This is only the first. Source: "Distant Origin"

Next up: A bunch of Non-Aligneds.

Cards: Espionage: Federation on Romulan, Fancy Dax, Female Q, Food Fight, Forra Gegen

  1. The persona rules for the Daxes is causing you a problem here. Fancy Dax is a version of Ezri Dax. Ezri Dax (from Holodeck Adventures) is herself a version of Jadzia Dax. So is Fancy a version of Jadzia? If not, is it possible to have them both in play together, and then swap one for Ezri and end up with two versions of the same persona together?

    This is, if course, created by Decipher trying to avoid the trek sense problem of Ezri and Jadzia meeting, and (ab)using the persona rules to achieve that when they created Ezri. I'm not sure what better answer there is to this, but what they came up with is not an ideal solution.

[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...
