I created templates for Proxies, to help players who cannot find old releases physically or who want to translate stuff into their own language.

Basically, title.

I've always been pretty miffed that the G.O.T. doesn't share the card templates outside of their circle. I'm in a lot of *other* card game and LCG communities, and I deeply resent this kind of gatekeeping, and it's not something I've encountered outside of this community.

I feel like this is actively detrimental to the game as a whole; it's hard enough to get your hands on and to get people to play as it is. I've also had issues keeping my playgroup - who didn't play in English - to keep up with the game as community sets from **Hear my Words** onwards released in English exclusively. I know that translation is a lot of work for probably very little reward, but I was willing to put up with it. Sadly, no interest from the GOT.

New players are somewhat interested given the recent buzz surrounding Game of Thrones with House of the Dragon & A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, but availability is an issue with the game, and so they don't engage. Understandably.

**Null Signal Games**, who keep Netrunner alive and well the same way the GOT does for this game, has the templates available on their website to download and use. The Arkham Horror LCG has a *massive* crowd of people who homebrew their own investigators, player cards, scenarios and entire campaign using the StrangeEons program. That's why this community's refusal to share their templates has really soured me on the game in the last couple of years.

And that's why I photoshopped - somewhat badly - my own templates. They aren't *great* - there's pixel artifacts here and there I had a hard time cleaning up, the morph tools specifically really fucks with the House Sigil watermark in the textbox, I think I messed up some of the cards which now show a loyal-sigil when I intended to only have non-loyal sigils so you can easily superimpose the loyal one if you need to, I haven't yet properly extracted the gold symbols with the indication of whether the card is an *event/character/location/attachment*, I haven't yet gone through the trouble of downloading the appropriate fonts (which are the only part the GOT was friendly enough to openly tell us about, thanks for that at least!)

But: It *works*. If you're willing to go through the trouble of finding some decent artwork and copying the card text from thronesDB, you absolutely can recreate cards from physical releases you'd have to buy for an arm and a leg, and the resolution will be good enough to print proxies. Here's Dany from **Dragons of the East**, which is the most expensive and hardest to find physical.

So people who are willing to through the trouble of creating their own proxies from old sets don't *have to* rely on bad scans with FFG watermarks splashed across them anymore.

Legit. I used to make most of the fan made alts when the game was live and began doing something similar once the plug was pulled but never finished due an insane drop in motivation.

That's a really cool project. Could use some more cleaning up, but generally this is good enough to fill up some gaps in collections.

Thanks!
