Fan projects are unofficial fan efforts to improve or preserve resources for Star Wars CCG, including high-resolution card scans, print-ready remastered card files, and play tools built from those scans.

HiRez scanning project

On 20 May 2017, strangewayes announced a project on the Star Wars CCG Forums to assemble a 600 dpi image archive of Star Wars CCG cards.[1] The thread is titled HiRez scanning duty (**Completed!**).[1]

The scans are published in a Google Drive folder, STAR WARS CCG.[2][1] On 26 September 2021, strangewayes wrote that the set folders had been moved into one master folder so the collection could be shared as a single link, and that the first post of the thread had been updated with that link.[3]

The folder contains TIFF scans of the Decipher sets from Premiere through Theed Palace, including Reflections II, Reflections III and Alternate Images, together with Premium product cards, Errata, Virtual Sets 0–9, card backs and a printing guide titled How To Print Cards.pdf.[2] strangewayes described the work as an entire 600 dpi SWCCG image archive.[1]

On 21 February 2023, strangewayes last edited the first post and wrote that he would continue to maintain the download links.[1]

Star Wars CCG (HiRez)

Star Wars CCG (HiRez) is a Tabletop Simulator Workshop table published by Tolban. The Workshop credits state that the high-resolution card scans are from strangewayes, and they link the HiRez scanning duty forum thread.[4]

Print-ready card files

On 9 January 2021, the Reddit community r/starwarsccgalters published a stickied post titled MPC Print Ready Cards - Links to drives and community disclaimer, written by the moderator account sharedmod.[5] The post lists Google Drive folders of MPC print-ready card files, and states that the cards are not tournament legal and are not endorsed by the Players Committee.[5] It describes the files as quality proxies for kitchen-table play, dream cards and printable fan expansions, including as an alternative when some cards have become prohibitively expensive.[5] The post also notes that, at that time, MPC was refusing to print anything recognizable as Star Wars intellectual property, and that the authors were investigating other print options.[5]

Decipher cards and modified Virtual cards

Shared SWCCG, listed in the post under the name Andyt563 for Andrew Thomas, was described as fully remastered MPC-ready cards from Premiere through Coruscant, as ongoing work, with all images and text replaced, together with playmats sized for printing with most print-your-own playmat suppliers.[5][6] The folder contains set folders numbered 01 to 15 for the Decipher sets from Premiere through Theed Palace, including Reflections II, Reflections III and Premium product, a Templates folder, and Light Side and Dark Side playmat JPEG files.[6]

SW:CCG, listed in the post under the name Chrknudsen for Christian Knudsen, was described as a mix of staple cards and Virtual cards, tried with Printer Studio and MPC.[5][7]

Ubik_Fresh's drive, titled SWCCG Mains & Toys Duel Decks, was described as an MPC-ready pair of dueling Mains & Toys decks. The post says the versions without prequel cards are fully remastered with cards from Andyt563, that prequel cards would be added when available, that the decks are made to be balanced and played against each other, that the deck lists are based on Reinhart's design, and that errata text is used where applicable. It also lists Empire Strikes Back dueling decks, based on a list at Star Wars Duel Decks.[5][8]

Scoops Ahoy's drive, titled Extended Arts, was described as a selection of Extended Art alters, in Virtual and regular versions.[5][9]

Izzarp's drive, titled Custom Alters, was described as staple cards, all MPC ready.[5][10]

Fan expansions

Anachrokate's Hutt Space Fan Expansion, in a folder titled HUTT SPACE (near complete) 2021 Full Expansion Set, was described as a 300-card standalone expansion.[5][11]

Lhamo66's Rogue One & Mandalorian Fan Expansion, in a folder titled Lhamo's SWCCG Expansions, was described as a full set of cards based on the television series The Mandalorian, with Rogue One starter decks for Dark Side and Light Side, all MPC ready, with some card testing still being done.[5][12]

Alderaan Operatives, in a folder titled Alderaan Operatives Hangar, was described as fan expansions including Unbalanced, a humorous treatment of the game compared in the post to the Magic: The Gathering sets Unhinged and Unglued.[5][13]

Andy Talaga's drive, listed in the post under the name AndyTalaga and titled SWCCG, was described as fan expansions and Alternate Image cards.[5][14]

Rechelon's drive, titled SWCCG Custom Locations, was described as remastered locations and a New Republic fan expansion.[5][15]

Swccgfan617's drive, titled swccgfan617's Drive, was described as Kamino, Revenge of the Sith and Battle of Geonosis fan expansions.[5][16]

Resources

The post also lists high-resolution templates for card creation by Bardez, described as upscaled card templates for GIMP, in a Google Drive folder titled SWCCG Templates, and a fonts folder titled SWCCG Fonts, described as the frequently used fonts.[5][17][18]
