Aus dem Vampire: Elder Kindred Network Newsletter April 2022

https://www.vekn.net/2-uncategorised/52 ... april-2022
MORE VTES NOW ON PRINT-ON-DEMAND!

Since earlier, cards for Assamites, Giovanni, Lasombra, Followers of Set and Ravnos are up on VTES Legacy Singles at Drivethrucards, and now also cards for Panders, Salubri and Tzimisce are available. Totally it´s 159 cards in this April update, including many player favourites such as War Ghoul, Legacy of Pander and Neutral Guard.

Hugh Angseesing, CEO of Black Chantry Productions, why did you prioritise these clans for print-on-demand now?
- We have put clans and disciplines on Drivethrucards as they have rejoined Vampire: the Masquerade Fifth Edition and we can see which cards won’t be being reused in a future retail set – for example Vicissitude cards will instead be represented with an amalgam power for the new Tzimisce.

Are there any plans to put more “staples” on print-on-demand, so one can order a whole custom-built deck?
- More cards will be added, and this will include more staples. However, our focus is getting cards which are not available in retail up first.

A lot of VTES players live in Europe – is there any hope for a print-on-demand service on other continents than America soon?
- We continue to work with Drivethrucards to locate a print-on-demand printer in Europe, which is about 60 percent of the VTES community. Covid and rapid changes to costs have slowed that process down along with printers not being totally comfortable with the “on demand” bit, i.e. please, don’t print 1,000 Eyes of the Dead just in case…
However, note that UK and EU buyers now should have value added taxes calculated at checkout to reduce much of the risk of ordering overseas, though I understand postage is still more than we would like.

What comes next for print-on-demand?
- Our rules director AND layout guy Vincent Ripoll are working on the next cards to go up on Drivethrucards, and that is more bloodlines cards. The process involves us looking at the card set we have chosen and checking that we have the artwork or deciding if the artwork can be refreshed. Sometimes brand new art is needed, but a card needs to sell about 1,500 copies to breakeven, so some cards might not be worth creating new art for! Then we review the card for simple changes, for example, cost reduction or perhaps added stealth, and then modernising the card text to fit current wording templates.
About that last bit, we’d love to hear from YOU if you have simple recommendations for cards going up to be fixed. But our focus with design and playtesters is on new cards rather than updating everything that has come before!

Concerning such modifications, this time only three cards have significant funtional changes:
• Lambach (ADV): Unlocking is now optional.
• Radu Bistri: Gaining blood is now optional.
• Szechenyi Jolán, Mother of Horrors: Unlocking her is now optional and happens during the discard phase.
These changes will be tournament legal on May 27, 2022.

To make it easier to navigate the offer, a complete list with all Vampire: The Eternal Struggle Legacy Singles is available separately.

Note also that all nine Fifth Edition preconstructed decks are now available on Drivethrucards, in English, Spanish, French and Latin!

https://www.vekn.net/2-uncategorised/52 ... r-may-2022
With lots of new cards up on the "pick and choose" VTES Legacy Card Singles service on Drivethrucards, the most common question to the Black Chantry customer support is, by far, "Will there be a European print-on-demand place soon?". The answer is: Unknown! Black Chantry have searched for such a printing partner facility since the company started, but so far with no luck. Do you have advice? Don´t hesitate to contact !

The bloodlines that did not appear in Heirs of the Blood are next up for cards on Legacy Card Singles, so those cards are now scrutinezed for rewordings, retemplating and maybe even nerfing!

We were a bit sloppy with the words in the last newsletter, sorry for that. What is next for upload to VTES Legacy Card Singles is the bloodlines cards that did not appear in Heirs of the Blood. Hopefully all of them have art that need not to be replaced or any other problems that prevents them from being published again.

YES, a new batch is on its way, its just a matter of physical proofs being printed and (hopefully) approved in the second try.
• Black Chantry are still investigating the possibility of an EU print-on-demand option. Recently there was some print tests done. However, nothing has worked out yet and it may be that it is not feasible due to price and quality. Never stop hoping!

Vampire: The Eternal Struggle = Heavy metal!

Hi all! We at Black Chantry Productions don´t brag a lot, but now it´s time. According to this summary on www.drivethrucards.com, 42 of the 50 most sold products in the store are Vampire: The Eternal Struggle single cards or bundles. Most selling, reaching “Adamantine” level, is Direct Intervention with that spectacular new art by Ginés Quiñonero.

A noteworthy detail is that the other top seller is Nisei, also known as Netrunner, which like Vampire: The Eternal Struggle has original design by the great Richard Garfield.

And YES, after some delays a new batch of cards is on its way to our Legacy Card Singles offer. This time this means a new chance for you to get hold of 2001-2010 era bloodlines cards that did not appear in Heirs of the Blood reprint bundles (Ahrimanes, Baali, Daughters of Cacophony, Salubri, etc.) Fun times!

All cards have been updated with the most recent layout and wording templates. Six cards have significant funtional changes:
• Cybele: Must be unlocked at the start of the master phase to get the additional master phase action.
• Blessed Audience: Can explicitly target prey and predator.

Ich möchte daher vor einer Sammelbestellung noch etwas abwarten, ob Black Chantry sich zum Zeitplan der noch fehlenden Karten äussert....
Ich habe diesen Hinweis zum Anlass genommen, direkt bei Hugh nachzufragen.
Waiting for reply. 8)

Edit: Und hier ist schon die Rückmeldung:
Longer. We haven’t triaged other bloodlines clans yet.
It takes quite a lot to template each card, unfortunately.

Hugh Angseesing von BCP in einer Diskussion auf Facebook:
Essentially we will get all White Wolf era cards up on DTC.
There are a few cards where artwork does not exist, or cannot be used or a few cards that are banned or like Veil of Darkness are problematic so may not get reprinted as they are.
The intent of this bundle Echoes of Gehenna bundle is to try a cheaper way to get cards out in bulk in a way that makes sense, particularly for playgroups who literally cannot order from DTC.

This is more viable for a bundle like this where cards can be used in lots of different decks.

Clan (all really) bundles require guesswork on how many copies of cards to include and that’s harder to do with our resource.

Given each card in the game from 1994-2010 has been printed many thousands of times and we’re on ~2,000 tournament players I do not think we are anywhere near a pay to win situation and we will keep releasing cards that are in demand eg Parthenon in this set, other cards in Promo Pack 4 when we announce that, to help keep costs reasonable for players.
