Hi folks,
Happy Friday! Today, the first Friday in June, I thought I'd take a minute to update you on the next 4-5 expansions coming and see which ones have your interest. I'll give you a more in-depth preview, including updates on all of our smaller projects, in the future. For now, here's an overview of the next few "standard" size expansions:
The Motion Pictures: Remastered
This remastered version of Decipher's last full-sized 1E expansion is coming very soon. In it, we've got high resolutions of all 134 cards, with 84 of them getting remastered updates. Most of those are small changes - fixing named-in-lore references, typos, or correcting mistakes. However, there are some higher profile changes as well. For example:
Paradise Lost
Coming hot on the heels of TMP: Remastered will be Paradise Lost, the 2nd of our 2 Classic Films expansions. This expansion will focus on Sybok and his Army of Light as well as Khan and his followers, giving each of those decks different goals to go along with their new tools. Sybok can recruit allies to his banner out of your own deck, with easy access to Release This Pain. He can even steal a ship out of your opponent's deck! Meanwhile, Khan gets a new location to build his army and much easier access to his opponent's personnel. At the same time, he can use those he controls with an eel in new ways! But if you aren't a fan of Ceti Eels or Releasing This Pain, don't worry - there is plenty of fun to be had.
Untitled TNG Movie Set
After we finish up with the classic films era, we're going to bring you tons of new cards from the TNG films. In particular, this will feature a lot of long-desired content from Star Trek: Nemesis, giving you ways to play Shinzon and the Reman army like never before. At the same time, the crew of the Enterprise-E gets new weapons to fight for the Federation and even the Vulcans show up to make an impression.
Untitled Alternate Universe / Q Continuum Sequel
With all the fun others are having with multiverse stories, why not STCCG? This virtual set is inspired by the classic Decipher expansions Alternate Universe and Q Continuum. You'll find stories about tricksters and gods, tales from alternate universes and timelines, and more. All drawn from across all of the available material. We're also testing the waters in exploring STCCG's own "What if...?" stories, with cards that recreate long-removed rules and game play patters.
Delta Quadrant Sets I & II
These two sets are just getting started with design, but will revisit the factions and groups making the home. There will be new ways to play Kazon, Vidiian, and Hirogen, as well as new toys for Federation, Non-Aligned, Klingon, Borg, and Maquis decks. It's been far too long since much development has been given to the DQ, and it's time to correct that with this pair of expansions.
So, which of these upcoming projects are you excited to see? Are there specific cards or story moments from them you just have to see turned into cards? What has you excited to think about? And what expectations do you have for these projects? I've set up a poll, and you can vote for each expansion you have excited for. But please feel free to sound off in comments about what on this list has you excited for the future!

- Team Sybok gets updated with the new icon which premiered earlier this year in Second Star to the Right.
- Khan and his followers become "augments," giving them a shared mechanical hook with the augments.
- Odd clarifications and rules from the glossary now appear on the cards.
