Great work djibutini ! You are creating something really great. I agree with doctordolemite about that Marine resource was used for card effects mainly and should not be considered too much. Happy new year everyone. Cheers

Hey Folks,
It is finally done...(for now, pending further review )
In my Google Drive is a copy of 361 cards from Premiere with current errata (I hope), these are located in folders for the classic Resurrection frames, as well as new frames which I built trying to replicate the feel of the Resurrection ones. It would be great if people could check through and see if I missed any errata, or if mistakes slipped through... apart from errata changes I reskinned a few cards:
- Cpl Ackles is now Cpl Ferro
- Lt Campbell is now Lt Gorman
- Pvt Hewitt is now Pvt Crowe
- Pvt Masters is now Pvt Vasquez
- Pvt McIntyre is now Cpl Dietrich
- Pvt Rogers is now Pvt Drake
- Pvt Von Gries is now Pvt Wierzbowski
- Sgt Bass is not Sgt Apone
You can check either the classic frames or new frames version as the wording should be the same.
I made some extra minor changes (references in characters game text from 'his' to 'their' etc), and for some of the cards I might do some more layout changes as text is a bit small on some cards, so will do more to get the text as big as possible and still fit. I think I am still missing some errata on Bishop and Ash but could not find anything for these on the forum... might be some other things I missed too. If people can suggest improvements, or let me know if they really hate a picture I have used I can update .
There are some other ideas I was toying with like maybe using bold font in the game text references to restrictions and abilities. I added the set and rarity (really just because it was there in my spoiler sheet and I thought why not), but I think the overall layout is still fairly clean and simple.
Next I will remake all nine of the Promo cards as well, and will then make some 3x3 PDF print pages of Premiere and Promo for: - The complete set (for people like me that want to print off everything).
- Errata set (just the cards with errata changes).
- Scenario decks (if people have suggestions for decks I will build these as a PDF ready to print out).
This has taken about four months on and off, and I have learned a lot about nanDECK which is a great bit of software for building cards in batch, using assets like templates, pictures and a spreadsheet of details. I will add some more details into my nanDECK guide as well with all the extra assets used here.
I hope that people will find something here useful, I am looking forward to playing some games rather than just screen grabbing images...

Downloading now. As soon as I get some free time I can start looking at them. Fantastic job! I cannot wait.
EDIT: Upon first look. I noticed 'UA571C Sentry gun' and 'Hand Welder' were not updated. It needs to include: "A Sentry Gun will target any unfriendly character or hidden marker entering its location if that character or hidden character or hidden marker is not controlled by the owner of the Sentry Gun. A player may only place 1 Sentry Gun per location. Once activated a Sentry Gun may never be picked up again." & "Using the Hand Welder on a location card now creates a barrier with a barrier power of 5. The barrier created by the Hand Welder is not passable by any factions or species until it is destroyed."
EDIT: Axlotl reached to me on Discord. Synthetics, unless otherwise specified, have a Data Capacity of 5. Display of skill may never reduce the Predator's honor requirement below the Predator Character's built-in requirement.

Thanks for checking through these, some of the errata bits must have slipped through...
I will change wording of Sentry Gun and Display of skill, with hand welder I am assuming its still rotate owner and discard item to use? Is the barrier at a location, or between two locations? I can make sure text is consistent.
On Drive Capacity, should these be an ability on the card, or game text? I have put in both just in case...
I noticed too that I used the same image on Flesh wound and Aggravated wound, so will re-image one of them... I have probably done this too with images of Hudson (because who would not want a set of almost entirely shots of Hudson ).
I have made all these changes in my errata sheet so will rebuild the cards shortly, and please let me know if anything else needs tweaking.
Thanks again for reviewing!

For 'Hand Welder' I believe the exact text was changed to: "Rotate owner to drop this item between two Locations. If owner remains at the Location and Rotates again at the end of the next turn, the Locations gain a Barrier with a Power of 5. The Barrier created by the Hand Welder is not passable by any Factions or Species until it is destroyed." "With this baby, you can put up a barrier that nothing can get through."
The Synthetic's would be card text. The Synthetic resource would be for Events and Factions.
Ash would read: "Data Capacity: 5. Generates 1 Research Point per turn without Rotating. Cannot Attack Aliens." "You still don't know what you're dealing with, do you?"
Bishop would read: "Data Capacity: 5. Rotate to generate 1 Research Point." "I may be synthetic, but I'm not stupid."
Keep up the good work. I can look at these more thoroughly this weekend.

Promos are now up on my drive, in both the classic and new frames (same text on each set). I have uploaded an 'Extra' folder where I have put some of the things I was playing about with, mainly some new styles for a frameless 'Extended Art' layout, and also an 'Extended Art Borderless' layout (might make some Predator and Alien ones as well).
I have amended the picture for Aggravated Wound as it was the same as Flesh Wound, and updated the card text for the errata issues noted for Display of Skill, Eat This, Ash, Bishop, Sentry Gun and Hand Welder. I also made a barrier card for the effect from using the Hand Welder.
Please anyone let me know if there is something wrong, or if I have missed errata. If these look ok I will set up some 3x3 printable PDFs, depending on how these print out I might make some additional cosmetic changes (font sizes etc)...

Hey Folks,
I have created a print set of Premiere and Promo, in both the existing template style and using my redesigned templates. Everything is now uploaded to:
The print files were getting pretty big so I split them into six-page files each, so 54 cards per doc, meaning that there is a 1 - 7 for Premiere, and the nine promos fit nicely to a single doc. The PDFs have also been changed to CMYK color format (I have found that without this an RGB print is normally forced to CMYK by printers and can be a bit too dark).
If people have suggestions for intro/scenario decks let me know and I can build these too.
I might make some more changes if i find that physical prints have issues with text sizing, so may come back in and fix these, please let me know if anyone finds any issues.
Having finished all these I am now hoping to enjoy some games (but am already thinking about making a Blade Runner set ).
Hope someone else finds these useful too,
Enjoy!

I just downloaded and looked through these. Fantastic work!
Two things I noticed, "this changes everything" & "friendly fire" both have the same picture as well as "Hull Breach" & "Hived airlock". I'm not sure if this was intentional but I figured I would let you know.
Also, I'm not sure if it's my .pdf viewer but on the printable .pdf some cards such a "Flesh Wound", "Fog of War", & "Fortify" and others have a stretched font on the card text. The single picture versions are normal but like a said, that could be a setting on my .pdf viewer. Do the printable .pdf's look like that on your end for those cards?

Admire the hard work you've done djbutini.
I'm excited at seeing so much effort which has been put into this.
Before I had to step away to work on other projects (Cripes! Has it been that long ago?), I was going to look into recreating Premiere using the current card styles. Glad to see someone has done this. My plan was to retake new images from the movies for some of the cards, as some are quite dark. I like how you have used replacement images instead. Once again, great work.

Will you ever do this for Ressurection?

Hey Rockhopper, I started with Premiere to remake the cards in the frames used from Resurrection onwards, but if people would find it useful to have a higher res version of the Resurrection cards themselves I can start to remake them. Making premiere was a bit of a slog just because of the time taken grabbing all the stills... but I can certainly start with a smaller group of mains or deck staples that people would like to see if that would be useful. Let me know which cards would be good to start and I can begin there, Cheers

I cant encourage you enough, these look fantastic. I may try to print some of these and make a couple decks. I really appreciate the work you do

Tried to post a response but looks like it got lost, apologies if this double posts... I updated by nanDECK batch file with the details of some Resurrection cards so have made a version of Call, Christie and Ripley 8, these are saved in a new number 4 folder on my drive: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1u8WYpQetm2qrxcXKRl5QuNixp1fHSAuJ . If I can find a Resurrection spoilers file that will make things a bit easier, rather than copying out card text from scanned images, and then i can tidy up any errata as well as just keeping terminology the same as with the later sets (for Rogue characters, cloned Aliens etc).

I cannot thank you enough for all the cards and considering updating Resurrection. Not sure how I can help (if I can), but please let me know!! I would love to see a full set with new art. The old art is so grainy now :-).
You are fantastic and keep doing what you do!
