Since proxies are now official, I was wondering if anyone has some high quality scans they can share so I can print some. I don't have a scanner myself... -1 Strength

if you want help with that, I'd be glad to pitch in.

The RTR says: - every proxy card must be a color-copy of the original card, on standard paper Amended Photoshopped frankencards aren't a "color-copy of the original card". That is not to say that such cards wouldn't be useful. But the Rules Team Ruling doesn't allow for them. Why it doesn't allow for them, only Pascal can clarify, I guess.

Just this weekend I was talking with local players at our local ECQ and said that it was such a big shame that the deal we had going one with Onebookself didn't materialize as ordering them to print whatever cards you needed (with latest cardtext) would've been so sweet.. This proxy allowance is a very nice way of being able to do the same! And finally get all the card texts you and Pascal have worked so hard to go through put into use.

I use: www.lotusnoir.info/vampire/ It's a french site; however Chrome auto translates. It has everything except the VEKN cards. Amaranth Deck Building Tool : VTES NZ : VTES ANZ Facebook

Heck, Quines has translated all the cards to Spanish so, in the long run, making translated versions available too would be cool! Finnish Politics!

English should stay the "common ground" on which players meet for competition (at least in my opinion). National Coordinator Germany nc [dot] germany [at] magenta [dot] de

But I'd assume that the sizeable Spanish player base would love to play casual with up to date prints in their own language. Besides, I'd estimate that if they used spanish cards in local tournaments no one would have a problem with that; quite contrary. Finnish Politics!

If you have a database with every recent picture of vtes cards. Then we just need a deckbuilder program that can convert decklists into pdf files, so you can build a deck and print it. Shouldnt be very hard for a programmer. right? Have a cold long night, Jeroen van Oort Dutch National Coördinator

So if anyone has all the card illustrations, I can generate those cards. Send me the files at Prince of Paris, France Ratings Coordinator, Rules Director

How about separating those from your code and distributing images over a generic file hoster? BTW I appriciate all your efforts so far. Good job! <INSERT CLEVER QUOTATION HERE>
