Requiring sleeves is a bad idea. Some players do not like using sleeves, for a variety of sensible reasons.
Is there no other VEKN-acceptable way to proxy
the new cards?
@Ossian: I am not a copyright expert, but printing the same amber/green marbled backgrounds as the current cards may be a copyright issue.
I was hoping that there would be some kind of online pay-per-print system so I could get cards of near-identical quality to the previously printed VTES cards.
If we're to use printed/glued cards the only way to go about it is using sleeves.
Anything other than that will lead to marked cards. In fact, I played around a bit with pieces of paper glued to VTES cards and even inside a sleeve they are slightly thicker to the poinnt where I can see the difference. This will be an issue in the future...
So does that mean older cards will be "proxied" as wel? or only the new expasions?
Since that could cause havok with the value of people's collections.
Obviously there is some legal grey area to getting the cards printed on cardstock, especially with "proper backs". I just feel that it's not fair to require all players to play with sleeves from now on whether they like it or not.
And yes, it seems like if you required the proxies to be sleeved, you'd have to require _every_ deck in a tournament environment to be sleeved now, because an unsleeved deck would mark the fact that no new cards were being used.
more than the amber/green background. There is a all copyright infringment in making a set since VEKN is an organisation and it does not have the licence to use all the systems.
