GREAT!
Thanks for doing this! I´ve been wanting to get the Aliens game, but for several boring and irrelevant reasons never got around to it... blush

P.s. But YOWZAH!!! a bit on the prohibitively expensive side, printing wise, as you have all the cards as single images, not nice, easy to deal with sheets...

These are the raw scans at a pretty high quality - I'm sure they wouldn't be too hard to format into "easy to deal with" sheets ? I'm sure if someone did this, and reshared the effort with the BGG community, they would be thanked.

As this is my first time scanning any components, I wasn't sure if what I've provided was even going to be useable by anyone, let alone what format will suit people best.

Hope I didn´t come off as ungratefull and demanding in the post above, blush

cause first and foremost, I´m happy that you took the time to do this, so that the cards are preserved here, and available

but at the moment, printing them seems cumbersome and expensive... If anyone can edit them into something more practical and userfriendly, I, for one, would be very happy!

I like the individual images, since I'm going to be using them in a virtual tabletop program, rather than printing them out.

But I may end up using these as source material for doing an entirely new layout/design of all the cards, since I don't particularly care for the visual quality of the original cards (I blame the limited potential with Artscow's layout tools, not the game designer). The scans themselves are great, and very high res.

JTSpecial - could ofcsome across as a bit demanding, but too many years of flame wars on the internet have helped me realise the horror of typed-word misinterpretation, so I took it as meant, I hope ! If I knew how to do sheets well, I'd probably do them, but suspect any sheets I made would be slightly "wonky", especially as I suspect the scans are slightly different dimensions due to the manual trimming process.

Heruca - interested to hear with VTT program you are hoping to use the card scans with - and the results too ! Had thought about knocking up a computerized version now that I've done the scans, but couldn't think of the best way to do this for multi-player. I use and write for Fantasy Grounds, but not sure that's the easiest VTT to run this game through.

I't would sure be nice if a few people coughed up a little Gold each to help compenate what kind Ben did for us. No one asked him specifically yet he volunteed to scan all the cards one by one (which I'm sure took a long time) just so people could enjoy this game. (which is now going to be published).

Hopefully people could help me return some of that kindness, every little bit helps

Ben, thanks for doing this. I had getting a real copy of Mark's game on my to-do list but unfortunately family circumstances had me away from home when he made the announcement and I missed the deadline. I chucked a thumb and a little GG your way by way of thanks.

Mark, congratulations on having your game published! That's really exciting news for you. I'll be very interested to see how the Western re-theme goes.

If someone could let me know what the exact dimensions of the original cards are, I might be able to rework the scans into PDF sheets for easier printing. Provided that does not compromise Mark's situation, of course.

3.5"x 2.5" per comments on sleeving.
Still trying to figure out how to use Artscow.
Do you have to load one card at a time?
