[D 316-320] Dunlap to Durango

Going multi-genre...

THE ENTRIES:
[316] Dunlap, Nigel
[317] duonetic field (no card required)
[318] duotronic probe
[319] duotronics
[320] Durango

Decipher's version for comparison:
NOTES: 
[316] When Sniper is in play, its owner may probe at the site of a personnel battle. If Dunlap is at that location, THEN he can prevent the probe. Source: Referenced in "A Simple Investigation" (I've decided to cast him as Patrick Macnee, not just because he was Steed in The Avengers, but partnered with Bond in A View to a Kill - and can't you just see Odo playing this role?)
[317] Already exists a planet dilemma in the Deep Space Nine expansion.
[318] Classifications appearing as skills don't count here, so you could have an OFFICER with ENGINEER and an ENGINEER together (as a two-man Away Team) and still go on. "Mission attempt" means the Borg are immune to this. Source: "Fair Trade"
[319] The original design talked about "time periods" and required a lot of lore-checking. The introduction of era icons means I can change it to only hose Engineers aboard TOS and MOV ships (and other eras in the post-Decipher environment). ENGINEERs aboard the wrong ships can't use ENGINEER (it only affects that skill). Source: "The Ultimate Computer"
[320] Deanna in SECURITY? Better believe it. She can still be targeted by random selection, but not "your choice" or "opponent's choice" dilemmas. She can't be targeted because she's a "Mysterious stranger". Holodeck Adventures gave us Decipher's take on Durango (included for comparison). Source: "A Fistful of Datas"

Next up: The toughest wall? Well, maybe not in the game.

Cards: Nigel Dunlap, Difference of Opinion, Obsolete, Durango

    I like Difference of Opinion, good way to filter mega-crews. Durango is a contender for the "least useless Deanna" award, though that's not a high bar to reach.

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.

By Inferno's Light Virtual Pack

I didn't do this for EVERY letter, but the first few AtoZ "expansions" had working booster packs of 15 cards, sorted like so: 11 commons (of 112 possibilities), 3 uncommons (of 117 possibilities) and 1 rare (of 107 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 C's. Note that Enhanced By Inferno's Light would have been 5 special packs with set card lists, and B's Broken Links would have come in a 40-page box, so those cards aren't in the booster.

[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...
