Card transcripts from the old forums

Hey everyone, I was a member here on one of the old iterations of the forums, and I was working on a project at one point to transcribe all of the cards from the four Nightmare sets, at the time I only had Nightmare I and II, so that's all I was able to do. Soon I should be getting my hands on Nightmare IV, and sometime after that I'll probably snag a copy of III so I would love to finish what I started. The problem is that I don't actually have the text document anymore with the first two sets that I transcribed, so I was wondering if anyone has the file, or has access to archives of the old forums and can get it. I would really like to not have to do those again.

I'm going to go ahead regardless and make up some vector images of blank cards so that people can use them for replacements, or if someone was working on a fan project, they can use the card designs. So I'll definitely post those here.

**EDIT**
I finished up the blank card templates for Nightmare. I don't have a scanner, so the other ones are going to take some work. I have a pretty decent camera, so I should be able to snap some photos of the cards to work with.

Check on Boardgamegeek. They've got game I and II's cards there. Sadly they are lacking III and IV's cards. You might be the guy they've been looking for.

Be aware that the UK version of Nightmare 4 had different Chance cards. I still have to pick up a copy of that one of these days for that reason.

I forgot about the Chance card thing. Sadly the only copy of the UK version I can find will only ship in Europe, so that's out of the question.

**Edit**
Here's Nightmare II along with the worst nightmare card. Special thanks to marr0w for his scans of these cards.

That would be the best thing in the history of best things! (Having transcriptions of the cards from the expansion games, I mean). The BGG files for Baron Samedi were a great help when I finally got a hold of the game. I had hoped that Anne and Bathory would also have had the same treatment, but to no avail. Adding the card files is just icing.

...I don't remember scanning those. Someone probably mailed them in and I added them to the Other Side or something. The only ones I scanned where the Nightmare I packaging and box at stupid-high quality and the original ad for Nightmare I that I really REALLY wish I still had a copy of. I don't even have a scan of it anymore. If anyone out there has a backed up copy from one of the old websites PLEASE send it to me!!!
