Well after several nights and e-mails back and forth with Artscow, here are the Boosters (as I have made them). Nothing official, but I used the Midnight bunnies as a starting point for the Midnight booster. Then added some cards to fill the other slots (basically what Shibby used, with some minor exceptions). www.artscow.com/share/Midnight-Booster-hisfcqka732aThe Indigo booster has the same back story. www.artscow.com/share/Indigo-Booster-92ihpqmjz5jy I realize that some cards may have gotten crossed between the decks. (There might be a Midnight card in the Indigo or visa versa) But I hope I didn't cross them. My order has gone through and now I will be waiting on both decks. The decks are only $9.99 each. But if you are signing up for the first time, you get "credit and discounts." If you put in the [glow=red,2,300]coupon code "PPC888"[/glow] you should get the decks for $8.88 each with free shipping. Both decks ship for less then $18 total! shibby's review of these cards was dead on. Order and Enjoy!! ßill

Nice work. They look great. Let us know when they arrive and if you've learnt anything about the process that I may have missed. If the PPC888 code doesn't work for you anymore, you can always get instant coupons from here that ususally give you cards for $8.99 incl shipping. And if you start sharing your products on facebook like I mentioned in the other thread, you can make even better savings. I voted no but only because I have already printed the cards I am interested in. If I hadn't tried the process already it would have been a yes.

Surely these card decks have arrived by now?! What do they look like? Are they worth others ordering them?

Still waiting on them.....trust me, this is just as frustrating to me as well!!
On a side note, if anyone has some good scans of the complete set(s) of Omega, Nu, Psi series I'd be very grateful....I'm sure we can see where this is going.

Yeah...
It's one thing to print Fan Art cards (which, given that the card template is copyright Playroom Entertainment, is legally questionable without a license such as a Creative Commons license anyway), but quite another to (re-)print commercial cards that have value (as shown by the high prices on eBay).
That is not even close to legal. (I'm not saying that you "can't" do it, but there are consequences for breaking the law. Look at those MP3 file-sharers and the $2 million judgements against them for 24 songs and such).
You can also look at it another way, if Playroom decides that special sets (ala "Nu") or decks are not worth it (commercially), then why would they produce any more (the publishing is very expensive), and then we're left (at best) with Fan Art anyway because there won't be any more commercial stuff for Quest?

I am looking at it more like Playroom gives us bunny blanks to print and make cards on. With that, it is assumed we can make or put anything on those cards for our own use. I wouldn't be printing and selling these cards for any profit of my own. Regardless if I draw it out with markers or print out a real picture of these cards, it is for my personal use...again stressing personal use.
I understand what you are saying, I just want to be able to use some of these cards during my own games.

Cards are in!!! They look great! I did have to make some minor adjustments (put a border on the black cards). You can see in one of the pictures the Werebunny has a small white border, I fixed that so all the cards with a black background are black all the way out. There also was a very faint line on the cards from the cut line on the artwork from the cards I used. So I put a white border around those to correct it. The feel of the cards is also different. There is no coating like the KB cards, but size, colors, and everything is great! Feel free to start ordering the cards. Don't click on the attatchment...I'll upload the pics in a few minutes Attachments:

crappy pic...but the very light gray line. I had the same line on my cards. It is pretty insignificant so I don't even worry about it.

Oh, does anybody know the author who did the chaotic chocolate set? I'd like to get those from artscow as well, that set looks like lots of fun. Oh, and when I'm ready to make my cards, I'm gonna use artscow as well.
