Diplomacy info request

I have been playing a lot tabletop rpgs lately and one thing I have sorely been missing has been a robust, enjoyable diplomacy system.

Having mucked about with a few systems offered by several games I wanted to see if I could adapt Vanguard's diplomacy to a tabletop setting.

However, to do so I really would like to get a hold of the original cards used ingame. This would not only help in relearning the system, but would give me a real sense of what kinds of cards to reasonably expect to be a part of the Vanguard diplomacy system. Eventually this might even lead to the creation of new cards.

Ideally a fanbased pdf of card images is what I am looking for. But even a simple spreadsheet of card names, types, and attributes could get me started.

While I am neither a real game developer, nor a coder I have been playing and talking about mmos and tabletop systems for several decades. I believe that a live tabletop system could prove valuable for both the mmo as well as tabletop rpg players.

Here's to hoping.

Unfortunately, the VGClient itself holds most of the details for what the cards text is. With some time and patience, you could dig into the client files (a few examples of how are posted around these forums). What we have from raw data is attached, if that helps (in XLS format).
