One of the Imperial Sovereign Protector's favorite games is the Star Ward Collectible Card Game from Decipher. There's something about the design and mechanics of the card that he really enjoys. For his birthday, let's create some new cards!
Each participant may send up to three cards to HA Plif via email at tccom@emperorshammer.org. Putting "SWCCG" at the beginning of the Subject would be helpful and please remember to sign your email with your ID line.
There's no working SWCCG card generator that we're aware of, unfortunately. To keep things simple, we're not expecting participants to generate the cards themselves though fully-rendered cards may be submitted. Participants just need to send in enough information that would allow someone else to generate a card and the plan is to have that done for the ISP to judge.
Fan-made SWCCG cards have existed for a long time, some created by EH members. Please submit something new for this competition, not anything you've had on your hard drive for years. Honor system!
The list of needed details varies by card type, but generally consist of the following:
Side: Dark or Light
Destiny Number
Type: Character, Starship, Vehicle, Creature, Weapon, etc.
If applicable: Power, Defense Value, Hyperspeed, Parsec Number, Deploy, Forfeit, etc.
Also skill icons like Pilot, Warrior, Scomp Link, Nav Computer, etc.
Title: Also consider level of uniqueness
Lore text: Also consider tags like leader and smuggler
Picture: Some idea of what you want the picture to be
Game text: Keep in mind that being balanced is more compelling than something that's obviously OP

Kappa Squadron is in need of a new patch!
Member of TIE Corps are requested to assist in the design process by submitting an image of the patch to COL Aardvark by email or Discord DM. Kappa Squadron members will rank the best patches, with COL Aardvark serving as tiebreaker for any conflicts or tied scores.
Designs should include a dragon as the predominate feature and the primary colors will be blood red and black.
"Unit patch files must be equal in height and width, be in PNG format, and have a transparent background (alpha channel transparency). Patches that are not natively the same height and width should be padded with empty space, not stretched. Patch graphics will be manually reviewed for technical compliance before approval. Maximum dimensions: 3000 x 3000 pixels."

Each week on Monday evening (usually), Phoenix will send out a link pointing to five trivia questions for everyone to answer. The trivia questions will come from the canon Star Wars Universe. Responses are due the following Monday before Phoenix releases the next set of questions. Bonus questions may be sent out intermittently, either attached to a normal week or coinciding with a holiday or special event. Answering these questions will count towards the participation rewards, but not the weekly/monthly/overall awards. == Point System == It's pretty mathy, but the formula is: # Correct + (5 / Time in Seconds) * 1.5 The intent is for all players to earn points based on how many correct answers they provided and the amount of time it took to provide those answers while still providing the most points for players that provide all five correct answers. Example: If GN Frown answered all five questions correctly in 45 seconds, he'd earn 5.167 points that week. If LC Tempest answered two questions correctly in 35 seconds, he'd earn 2.214 points that week. For any participant that has access to more than one database PIN, uses both to access the trivia and the second entry has a significantly quicker time than the first, the second entry will not be eligible for any time-related scoring bonuses. == Weekly Awards == First place weekly from the Corps - IS-SR Second place weekly from the Corps - IS-BR == Monthly Awards == First place monthly from the Corps - IS-GR Second place monthly from the Corps - IS-SR Third place monthly from the Corps - IS-BR == End of Season Awards == Note: For the End of Season awards, each player's average will be the sum of their best 19 weeks, meaning that their lowest two weekly scores will be dropped. First place overall from the Corps - IS-PR and the title Trivia Grand Tour Season Eight Champion Second place overall from the Corps - IS-GR Third place overall from the Corps - IS-SR Fourth place overall from the Corps - IS-BR == Participation Rewards == IS-CR for every 50 correctly answered questions. IS-SR for correct answers at the following landmarks: 327 - Docking bay aboard the Death Star where the Millennium Falcon was captured (and later “escaped”) 725 - The odds against surviving a night on the frozen surface of Hoth IS-GR for correct answers at the following landmark: 1138 - In honor of The Maker Participation totals are carried over from comp IDs 2623, 2696, 2741, 2869, 2893, 2947, 2957, 2979, 3003, 3038, 3047, 3053, 3055, 3103, 3222, 3244, and 3266.
