Welcome to the return of Episodic at its new home, The Continuing Committee. I hope that the game will be as big of a success here as it was on Decipher.com. Since we're entering a new era, lets start up a new cycle and start fresh for the new year.

Here are the entries from last week's contest:

A)

4 •I.S.S. Enterprise
Subtly Altered

Constitution Class

To play this ship, you must command three personnel. You may play this ship at cost +3 to choose two missions requiring Treachery. Your opponent places the top dilemma of his or her dilemma pile beneath each of those missions. He or she may lose 5 points to prevent that.
“I command an Enterprise where officers apparently employ private henchmen among the crew. Where assassination of superiors is a common means of advancing in rank.”
[RANGE 7] [WEAPONS 7] [SHIELDS 7]

B)

4 •Universal Rift
Image
To play this event you must command three Temporal cards. Discard each of those cards. Plays in your core. When you play this event, name a ship with your Transporter personnel aboard. That ship must have two personnel aboard to be staffed. Choose four of your personnel aboard your ship to gain Treachery and those personnel are Integrity -1 and Strength +1.
"One man cannot summon the future."
"But one man can change the present..."

C)

4 *I.S.S. Enterprise, Imperious Lady



Constitution Class.



You may play this ship at cost +3 to download a unique personnel and place them aboard this ship. Each copy of that personnel you own gains the keyword Commander: I.S.S. Enterprise. When you complete a mission requiring Treachery, if this ship is at that mission, you may kill your personnel at this mission to score 10 points.

“These are the voyages of the warship Enterprise. It’s five-year mission – to exploit strange new worlds, to conquer new life and new civilizations, to boldly crush all that stand in the way of the Terran Empire.”

Range 8, Weapons 7, Shields 7

D)

4 Ion Storm Interference

To play this card you must command 3 personnel.

You may place personnel on this event.
Only a maximum of four personnel may exist on this event at any time.

Once per turn as your away team beams to or from a planet mission you may discard a card from hand to replace any number personnel in that away team with their persona, OR vice versa.

A 1E concept evolved.

E)

1 •Janice Rand, Lying in Wait



Human


2 Anthropology 2 Treachery

You may not play this personnel at Earth or Athos IV. When your personnel has been killed by a dilemma, you may place this personnel on that ship or planet mission and have her join that attempt. At the start of each of your turns, return this personnel to your hand.

Unscrupulous. Manipulative. Opportunistic. Janice Rand schemes for the day when her rivals are eliminated and the Empire can be hers.

Integrity 2 Cunning 7 Strength 4

F)

4 This Is More Like It


Event

Plays in your Core
Order: Download a personnel to a ship you command with a matching commander of opposite gender present and place this card with that personnel. Treat this card as an Equipment card while present with your downloaded personnel. Return this Event to your Core if you lose control of the downloaded personnel. Discard downloaded personnel if this Event is not present with the downloaded personnel.
Order: Destroy the Event: "This Is Just Wrong" and discard this Event.

"You're the captain's woman until he says you're not."


This goes along with my Episodic #52 card.

Diplomacy, Geology, Leadership, Honor
Int - 8 Cun -6 Str -3
"Captain? You do have the might to force the crystals from us, of course."
"But we won't. Consider that."

Remember to vote with your entry!

The point of this contest is simple. Each week, you'll get an episode title randomly pulled from the episodes of each of the five Star Trek television series. Your job is to make a card - any card - based on that episode. You can make any card type, from dilemma to mission to ship, as long as it draws from that episode. I'll provide a brief summary of the episode, just in case you can't quite remember it.

Each month, the participant with the highest score will get a random rare/foil (I'm working on this) - guaranteed.

So, ready to play?

Episodic #55: Season 5 TNG's Power Play
Troi, Data, & O'Brien are taken over by disembodied entities trying to make a jail break from a prison planet.

Don't forget, these entries are due Midnight EST Sunday, February 24th, 2008. Have fun and good luck!
