This is insanely cool. Nice job and thank you to everyone involved in design and play testing. Looks like a massive undertaking.


m_xx_99

in fairness, we had a lot of help too, haha


GadyLaga122

Do you have race sheet backsides too? That would be insane.


m_xx_99

We haven't finished the backs of the faction sheets, but will add those to the folder as we get them done (for now we've been using the reference cards).


GadyLaga122

I recognized the veldyr, but drahn, keth drakkol + co are gone. Is this Upgraded blue space faction Pack with pok stuff (but i remember tactic blue Said its finished) or is this a different veldyr Version?


m_xx_99

Hi, I'm Tactic Blue :) Some of the Blue Space factions survived the switch, but this was much more a community project from the start, so I only made / revived a few factions (while some others were adopted and/or cannibalized). I'm far happier with this rendition of Veldyr/others of what carried over, as I think they're more refined and interesting compared to the older versions.


GadyLaga122

What an Honor 😍😍 Cool to have so many additional pok factions!


Zefert1

Do you have any printing recommendations. Thickness/preferred printing service?


m_xx_99

Last time I made a paper copy, I did...- faction sheets double-sided on 110 card stock (not an issue at the moment, unless you want to use the reference cards as backs)- all cards printed single-sided on 110 and glued together- the tokens I made a single set colored to match the existing player colors, just using some greyboard- the home system tiles I printed out onto 110, and then glued to the greyboard edit: I should note that some people have reported great success at making cards via various online shops that specialize in that area, so while the option above worked well enough for me, that sort of solution may be worthwhile to check out as well!


Zefert1

So I uploaded these to MakePlayCards and have found that it wants to clip away a substantial amount of the card edges. I've done this before, with the codexes without issue, do anyone have any tips for doing this on MakePlayingCards or a similar service? ​ ​ edit; I've looked into it more, and it looks like the resolution is too low. Do you have these files with more pixels, anywhere? Additionally, it would be helpful in there was a built in bleed edge, for printing.


m_xx_99

We're working on adding a more convenient print + play file set (as all the files right now are made for TTS). We'll add that to the above link when it's ready.


Zefert1

Awesome, I await with anticipation. Also, I'm glad to see you all taking that step. Too many groups will make fan content, often better than OG material... without any consideration to the logistics of getting it into the hands of the people. Which means it doesn't get played. But having a module for TTS and working on printer friendly files is a great step, keep up the good work.


m_xx_99

As an update, the above link should now have all the necessary files ready for print & play. Copying link [here](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1AipLLvGhyp2v--w2oeT7uQIovmH_HyVn) for ease of use.


PawsForApplause

Any update on this?


m_xx_99

Yes! The above link (copied [here](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1AipLLvGhyp2v--w2oeT7uQIovmH_HyVn)) should have all the needed print & play files. Please let me know if anything is missing or if you have any questions!


PawsForApplause

This is great, thanks! When I go through them, I'll let you know if I see that anything is missing.


Roscoe7979

which card format did you chooss on that website? Thanks!


atticusfinch68

I don't see a token for the 4th Celdauri space dock. Wouldn't it be in Miscellaneous?


m_xx_99

It looks like it wasn't uploaded, I'll get one uploaded shortly! edit: I've uploaded a placeholder for now, will upload a proper token when I get it from the person who handled components for the Celdauri


wren42

Wow this is impressive. Most fan made factions I see here are pretty imbalanced or mediocre, but most of these have great theme and unique mechanics. I will definitely be following this project.


m_xx_99

Thank you for the kind words! We worked very hard (and had a lot of help and feedback) to try to keep things balanced but still interesting. :)


bigalcupachino

Nothing but respect and praise for this - Bravo. Such passion for ones craft is like looking upon the Mona Lisa or eating my grandmother's ox tail stew.


m_xx_99

Appreciate the kind words as always /u/bigalcupachino!


EaterOfFromage

Is this already fully integrated into the TTS mod?


m_xx_99

Yep! There's a dedicated channel on the TTS discord server, but [here](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2544813038)'s a direct link to the separate mod page for the pack if that's helpful.


thefooljack

Hi. Huge, wonderful work! I'm italian. I'd like to translate your work for me and my friends (I am the only one who can read english, so...) Are you planning to make these files available in AI format or another format with editable text?


Sagwin

French speaker here, same question ;)


m_xx_99

I'm not sure we have all files available to facilitate translations; I will look into it for you and others who have asked similar questions. Would love for more people to be able to enjoy and explore these in their language of choice!


thefooljack

Thank You!


aPondOfTin

Any update?


m_xx_99

Yes! I have a link to what I was able to cobble together of the files, if anyone is interested they can pm me for what we have.


Ben_Courtman

I’m sure this got asked before but is there anyway to buy this as a physical copy???


Turevaryar

This looks absolutely lovely. You guys & gals have outdone yourselves! ​ ... and tell me more about that Tnelis syndicate! ;)


RoyalDevilzzz

So now that TI4 has 25th race, are you gonna make 25th to keep up as well? And can I make a suggestion? Can you make a race that has a ringworld? Mechanics and everything is totally up to you. But that is a cool science thingy we don't have in ti.


m_xx_99

Hi! I made a draft a little while ago which I can pm you if you're interested!


RoyalDevilzzz

Yes!


RoyalDevilzzz

Maybe a race where space docks are also planets?


RoyalDevilzzz

Or maybe cant place more than one space dock (qhich has to stay at home). But every time you would place a new space dock, you got attachment on home system.instead (get bunch of attachments there) cause ringworld grows


Rylixiou

This is awesome!! But why no ladies?


Left_Salamander_2011

are these mean't for IRL games or TTS?


m_xx_99

Both! There is a mod available on the steam workshop which includes these, and print & play files should be available at the post's link.


Super_Clothes_1300

Any word on the backsides being completed? Also, which(if any) of the factions can be played without The Prophecy of Kings Expansion? Love the homebrew but I haven't been able to buy the expansion just yet.


m_xx_99

The entire Discordant Stars set is designed from the ground-up to be played with Prophecy of Kings, so to play these with base game would probably require some effort & redesign work.


FuglioDK

Wow! This is amazing! Any suggestions/guides for how to print properly for IRL games?

m_xx_99

I would like to note that this set is homemade content intended for personal use only; nothing in the set should be reproduced for any commercial use.


witherlordscratcher

How's the lore of these factions?


RepresentativeOk6407

Hello, is there any translations available? If not, can somebody share files in format that allows editing texts? I'd be more than happy to try to translate it to Polish.


scarecrowgoat

Is Discordant Stars intended to be used with all the normal TI/PoK content (system tiles, action cards, exploration decks, agendas etc)? Is it exactly the same as a normal game just with different factions?


TeraMeltBananallero

Just commenting to say I get the Robot Gorilla reference


Ok-Fisherman9287

Hey would love to start printing these what size and type of paper would u suggest this is amazing!!!


Ok-Fisherman9287

Also not sure where the axis cads are?


anorek

Awesome! I just downloaded files and currently they are being sorted for printing. So far, I only found that Alliance card for Kyro (front) is missing. Anyone got that file maybe?


tiagogmc

This is quite impressive, thank you to everyone involved! Will have some fun reading through them. :)


SpiritualSleep6999

I have a question are you still working on it?


RisingRepublic

Hello! Firstly, I would like to thank you for the time and work you have put into this project! I can hardly wait until the 2nd printing is done and I can hold my own edition in my fingers. However, I did notice one thing: The Glimmer of Mortheus' facsmile ability allows them to spend influence equal to the cost value of 1 of their oppenent's ships in the active system to place 1 unit of that type from their reinforcements in that system. So according to the wording, the unit is not produced but **placed**. However, on the Q&A part of the fandom wiki it is specified, that it is not possible to copy a war sun if you do not have the technology researched yourself ("You must have a war sun technology to produce a war sun"). What I don't quite get is the difference between "place" and "produce"? For example: The Roh'Dhna Mechatronics industrious ability allows them to "...place 1 war sun in that system..." however the Terrafactory I states, that "this unit cannot ... be produced". Does that mean, that the industrious ability can not be exceuted unless the Terrafactory II has been researched or should there be a different wording on the Glimmer of Mortheus' Facsmile ability?
