Welcome to the seventh season of the monthly Thematic Challenges! For those who are new to this, this challenge was started in 2011 by MattgomeryScott and was rebooted by me in 2019. Every month I will announce a topic or theme and everyone may create a dream card during that month and post it in the month's thread. Voting will be done during the next month. Everyone is invited to join and we appreciate every single submission. At the end of the year, there will be a little bit more demanding challenge and we will announce the overall winner of the season.
This season I would like to give polls a try to vote for the entries. I hope we will get some more votes and overall participation as everyone is welcome to vote for one of previous month's entries.
And as always, feel free to contact me as I am always looking for feedback and ways to improve this.
These are the entries from last month's challenge.

May 2020: Talk Like Yoda
June 2020: Artificial Intelligence
Thematic Challenge VII 07: Roll for initiative!
Create a Star Trek CCG card about Dungeons & Dragons.
As you may already figured I like to use prominent birthdays as a source of inspiration for themes and this month is no different. Besides my crazy old and dead customizable card games another huge hobby is Dungeons & Dragons, which I play for more than 20 years with my group now. And it so happens that one of the creators of Dungeons & Dragon - Gary Gygax - has his birthday on 27 July 1938. I know that at least some of you guys also play his beloved game and so let us create some cards!
You can either create dream cards of one of the characters or create items as equipments. Of course you can also have it as a meta topic of your entry like we see the bridge crew playing poker.
DEADLINE 31th July 2020
Sneak peak for August's challenge: You put so much ginger in this, it’s a Weasley!
