Black Chantry: Secrets of New York

Post by hardyrange »

Aus dem Artikel "Vampire: The Eternal Struggle Product Roadmap 2024-2025"
https://www.blackchantry.com/2024/12/31 ... 2024-2025/
Following the Sabbat decks, we’ll move away from pre-constructed decks to a pair of themed releases: Brazil By Night and Shadows of New York. With Brazil By Night, the release is a personal one, as we lost five members of the Brazilian VTES community to COVID-19. We’ve decided to honor those players with crypt cards and we’re going to explore the nation more in-depth with additional library cards and crypt cards. With Shadows of New York, we’ll cover the characters and events of the Shadows of New York and Coteries of New York visual novels for Vampire: The Masquerade. Across both of these sets, you can expect to see additional crypt and library cards for the Camarilla, Anarch, and Sabbat sects. We anticipate a late Q3 2025 release for them.

• You are hopefully aware of the general plan forward presented in the roadmap article in December, but product director Ben Peal recently delivered a quick update to the editor: The Sabbat decks will launch BEFORE the New Blood packs for Ravnos, Salubri and Tzimisce, sometime June/July this year. Then those New Blood packs, and then, late 2025, two packs themed around Brazil and New York. Going into 2026, things are more sketchy - New Blood packs for the four Sabbat paths, and most likely another city-based set. Cool, right?!

• The design team is not lazy! The first round of playtesting of the two upcoming sets "Brazil by Night" and "Shadows of New York" has just begun. The editor had a quick look at no less than 61 cards, and WOW it looks interesting. Camarilla, Sabbat and Anarchs all have stuff there, for example Primogen only-cards, new funny combat tricks and several "discard a card to do something cool"-effects. Some illustrations are already commissioned. Release of both is scheduled for the first half of 2026.

• Ginés Quiñonero, Black Chantry Art Director among other things, tells us that this month he has been translating the Sabbat starters into Latin, updating the Spanish translation of the Ravnos, Salubri and Tzimisce New Blood decks, and working on the art direction of the New York set (first stages), and on the development of the two·player format and related products.

• Vincent Ripoll, Black Chantry Rules Director among other things, reports that he has been busy finalizing the upcoming New Blood decks (Ravnos, Salubri, Tzimisce), producing playtest files, and working on the Brazilian version of the Sabbat decks. He´s also caught up on archiving tournament winning decks, and is now tackling updating the VEKN website.

• So product-wise, those above mentioned New Blood decks are getting near printing, and the playtest of the New York and Brazil sets are in their second round.

• Playtest round 2 of the two Brazil and New York-themed sets has ended and reports are compiled for the design team to chew through. First comments indicated most things are looking clear and good, so let´s see if a third round of testing is even needed. Current plan is April or May release for these.
