Steam Trading Cards are digital trading cards earned by playing compatable games, crafting from gems, unpacking from booster packs or trading with other Steam users. Cards can be crafted into Steam Badges that provide a badge to show on the user's profile. Badges can crafted up to five times for increasing badge levels. So far, one Homestar Runner game has associated Steam Cards.

"I thought trading cards were outlawed the day they invented good graphics."

Steam Trading Cards are digital collectibles used on the gaming platform Steam. Distributed primarily by playing the connected game, players can assemble a full set by methods including trading with or buying from other players.

A full set of cards can be "crafted", awarding a Steam Badge for the user's profile page; the badge can be crafted up to five times, increasing the badge level each time. Rarer cards have a "foil" border, awarding a special foil badge if a set is crafted. Each crafting also awards the player with a chat emoticon and profile page background. Steam Points, earned by buying games on Steam, can be spent on these rewards or on additional profile page features such as animated avatars.

So far, one Homestar Runner game has associated Steam Cards.

[edit] Dangeresque: The Roomisode Triungulate

Although Dangeresque: The Roomisode Triungulate did not include Steam Trading Cards at launch, they (and the relevant items) were added January 10, 2024.

[edit] Trading Cards

There are nine collectable cards, all representing Dangeresque characters and accompanied with a photo of their Puppet versions.

Name Card Description
Dagger Skew A former informer for Dangeresque, Dagger Skew "hides" steak knives in his headband so he can sneak them on city buses and clandestinely cut pieces off of other people's hoagies. He'll be stabbing you shortly.
Dangeresque Too No one knows exactly where Dangeresque Too came from. He claims to have been on "the force" in the "inner upwest southwise" precinct but no one has been able to corroborate this. He can do a mean hurrican kick and leaves a trail of first place racquetball trophies wherever he goes.
Perducci Perducci is a master of sitting behind tables, desks, and countertops. Somehow this has led to him being dangerous and powerful. He owns a restaurant and an import/export business and is so rich he has one of those animatronic fortune teller things in his basement. HIS BASEMENT!
SCSI Newport SCSI Newport is a bad guy that was created when a pile of outdated PC's fell on top of grumpy IT admin Sterp Derdtler. The electronics fused with his body (it was really gross! don't watch the security cam footage!) turning him into a partially-stoppable cyborg menace.

She's into leather and machetes and is skilled in several martial and/or fiber arts. She wants to simultaneously get back together with and kinda murder Dangeresque.
Killingyouguy Perducci's secret weapon and chief enforcer, Killingyouguy comes from a long line of Something-You-Folks. Prolly from the Old Country? I dunno. He began as a wee Pinchingyouboy and has slowly worked his way up through the years. I just hope there's a Knittingyounana somewhere.

He wears a solid gold neck brace since Dangeresque dropped a train full of anvils on him. Sometimes, maybe onetimes, he deviously pets an animal.
