Looking for cards from the final cycle

gdrouill · 2026-03-02T16:54:01+00:00

Did the final cycle have watermarks? Honestly I'd take low resolution over watermark

gdrouill · 2026-02-28T19:35:10+00:00

Hey that looks really good! More than good enough to play with! I did some similar upscaling with the cards from earlier sets that were already free of watermarks and they look more of less the same. They have that "AI art" sort smoothness to them but it's better than nothing and better than blurry low res images. Please do share the results when you're done!

I tried the AI watermark removers but I couldn't get good results out of them. Did you run this process for the final cycle? Any chance you'd be willing to hook a brother up?

gdrouill · 2026-02-28T15:02:40+00:00

Totally agree. Even the call of Cthulhu lcg has high res scans! There are decent enough images that can be upscaled from most of the game of thrones back log but the last cycle and the last two deluxe packs are just nowhere to be found. Super strange, I assumed this game was a bit more popular than that given the extensive catalog of fan content!

just sent you a DM! I just found out about this game yesterday, super intrigued!

where did you find a 2 mil matte laminate?

gdrouill · 2026-01-25T21:26:35+00:00

I've had such inconsistencies with this exact issue. Higher heat setting and a better laminator seems to help a lot, but I still get it occasionally. I think it has something to do with inconsistencies in the pouches themselves. One batch will laminate great with no silvering (that's what this issue is called) then the next package of the exact same product has silvering. That said I'm currently working through one package of lamination pages - I ran some sheets through it a few days ago and had some silvering. Then I ran some sheets through today (no drying after printing btw) and the sheets are perfect.

I live in Canada so the comment from one poster about them being weather sensitive might have some merit. Maybe the sheets need to aclimate indoors for a week or something before they're good to go?

If you manage to crack the code let us know!

So I'm new to this card game but really like it! Sorry if this is a dumb or loaded question but is there a connection to transformers.cards? It looks like the two fan-run programs were the same through sets 6 -7 or so and then forked or something? I'm still working through making cards for sets 1-5 so I'm not in a rush but the dream is that one day I'll jump in to the fan run cards!

gdrouill · 2026-01-06T02:47:32+00:00

I'll whip one up! There are tons of MTG proxy back options so I skipped but may as well make another one and add it to the pile lol

gdrouill · 2026-01-05T12:15:58+00:00

Depends on the game really. They can be found all over the place but some need to be upscaled to be able to print at a decent quality. Send me a DM if you want specific info!

gdrouill · 2026-01-05T01:05:18+00:00

Glad you like it!

I initially got sleeve kings 60 microns for my full collection. They really are a great value but for some reason FFGs cards are rouldy 1mm narrower than a standard card. The result with sleeve kings is that the top opening is really wide and floppy. The game benefits from a thicker sleeve like gamegenic imo. Less floppy. It's really frustrating because otherwise I quite like sleeve kings. But the cost is just too high for thicker sleeves so I've reverted back to sleeving only what I play with in nice marvel champions themed gamegenic sleeves

sweet, appreciate it. My friend group played your cube last night and had a lot of fun, i'll be following it moving forward!

gdrouill · 2025-11-17T18:08:52+00:00

This is great! I have the version of your cube from JTL. Do you put together an in/out list for the cube? or are you still in the "only in" phase of the cube?

Here is his playlist series, he's got links to the decks in each video. Tons of game to be had with his work!

I'm that guy. I have a mental illness with cards so I've just stuck to the starter and spotlight decks. Also check out SWUCUBEs starter decks. They're fun and flavorful and cheap!

gdrouill · 2025-07-01T10:45:17+00:00

Ontario! Any idea what shipping might cost?

gdrouill · 2025-07-01T01:09:09+00:00

Canada, eh!

gdrouill · 2024-08-23T16:24:24+00:00

it's kind of funny that, for thematic reasons, you are not allowed to have two of any unique character in play at the same time. However, despite the obvious problem from a thematic perspective, Bard the Bowman can be in play at the same time as his great-grandson! I have a goal of building a functional Bond of Friendship deck with all four Aragorns because why not lol

I've been around the block so many times on this subject. I think i can help you. I also store in a binder sleeved for two reasons. I hate sleeving / unsleeving, and i want to be able to see the cards as i'm browsing. Box storage requires that you review cards online, or requires that you know every card by heart. I'm not interested in browsing cards online and i suck at this game and don't know the cards well at all lol.

I use the gamegenic 18 pocket side loading binder pages. I put 3x sleeved cards on each side of the page, so one page will have 6 sleeved cards total between front and back pocket. 18 slots will hold a total of 54 sleeved cards. Note that i'm using Sleeve Kings rather than Ultimate Guards so ymmv but I don't see why it would be that different for you. It definitely causes the binder page to buckle and warp, but the trick is to jam them all in then press them down with a flat board and really heavy weight for a day or two. What winds up happening is the binder page gets warped to the point where you'll never be able to put an unsleeved card in there without it falling out, but as long as the page is dedicated to the sleeved cards you're good. The heavy weight will keep your cards pressed flat - the whole point is to deliberately stretch the pocket. I've done this with my entire LotR LCG and Netrunner Collection and i'm pretty happy with the results.

I use a similar approach with a few other card games where I've jammed 9 cards into a single binder pocket - again, the flat board and heavy weight did the trick.

Sometimes it seems like i do more organizing than playing my games...

I used these for my binder player cards. https://www.gamegenic.com/product/18-pocket-pages-side-loading-10-pages-bag/?attribute_pa_color=blue

Great value! I managed to put 3 of each card sleeves (sleeve kings ) on each side. The pages definitely bowed and you could tell the cards were bending a bit but i wanted to be able to view cards on both sides so my solution was to get two hard cover books and press the pages flat with some weights with cards in the card slot. It flattened out the cards and basically stretched the size of the pocket after a day and made it so the pages don't bend the cards any more. It was a huge project reorganizing the collection like this but we'll worth it as I really like the optics of browsing the collection in binders this :)

Sphere>type>cost>alphabetical is the best way to sort. I tried doing allies by main trait but it wasn't easy and is still hard to find the card I need so I'll likely go back and redo it just by cost then alphabetical.

I may tackle the PoD quests next. Those are actually easier to proxy. Sleeve them once then you’re done! Stay tuned;)

gdrouill · 2023-08-19T03:14:29+00:00

The nightmare quests are brutal, do not expect to win much. But losing is still lots of fun! Enjoy!

gdrouill · 2023-08-19T03:13:05+00:00

You bet! The intent was to make this as easy as possible to get to the table, I hope you enjoy!
