I think the point is that the card creators don't want to prevent the
possibility of their cards appearing in an official set, not that
they're worried about getting their asses sued off. FASA's notably good
like that.

*cough* Just for those of you who aren't aware, Richard Garfield has
just patented the Collectible Card Game. No, I don't know what this
means. Neither does anyone else. There's a raging argument on
rec.games.trading-cards.misc about it.

Back to the Dream Cards thing, Decipher (who make the ST:TNG and Star
Wars CCGs) have a Dream Cards archive on their website.
