One of the biggest problems actually getting new players to play the game is out-of-print sets. I would like to run a tournament, but where do you start when each playing format of the game has large chunks of cards that are hard to get, or worse still, simply unavailable.
Allowing new players to print and play with proxy cards may assist in reviving the game using real cards. Bringing new players to the game should increase the demand for cards which will increase the value of your collections, but more importantly, give you more people to play against and if we are really lucky some sort of organised play.
Printable proxies can be achieved in many different ways, but it seems logical to start with FoTR block since this is about new players. Here are some ways that i can think of.
1) Print the preconstructed starter decks from FoTR block (if you can't get access to any).
2) Print selected cards from RotEL (Out-Of-Print) to support FoTR block (such as all sites and common cards).
3) Print selected cards from FoTR block (such as all sites and common cards).
Star Trek CCG is currently allowing the printing of some cards, and the impact is mostly positive, as the player base continues to expand.
