https://www.vekn.net/2-uncategorised/52 ... nuary-2022
Newsletter time, and once again with beautiful preview artwork first. This time it is by Mirko Falloni for the crypt card Cedrick Calhoun that will appear in one of the New Blood packs that are soon ready for printing. Maybe you can guess the clan?

The upcoming New Blood mini-decks are less complicated (not as many new, tricky cards), so those will also be ready to print really soon.

https://www.blackchantry.com/products/l ... nosferatu/
Clan Nosferatu are horrors, grotesquely deformed by the Embrace. They hide in shadows and underground darkness, commanding animals as spies and allies in battle.

This deck builds a strong defence with many animal helpers. It slowly gnaws at its prey, but can also surprise by smashing enemy vampires into torpor.

Clan Tremere are vampiric warlocks, masters of rituals of Blood Sorcery. Their powers make them arrogant and deadly, and they always lust for more occult lore.

Clan Ventrue are the ”blue bloods”, the self-proclaimed rulers of all vampires and mortals. They seek to lead by any means necessary – manipulating the weak, destroying the strong.

This deck is a toolbox with a stable defence both in reaction cards and combat, and a “lock and bleed” offence capable of explosive turns when the opportunity arises.

Wer 1,5 Stunden zu viel hat - hier ist ein Interview mit Hugh Angseesing von BCP zu "New Blood".

Es geht im weiteren Verlauf dann auch viel um die Überlegungen von BCP dazu, welche Karten reprinted werden, in Starter kommen, Design-Prinzipien, die Zukunft des Spiels, die nächsten Sets, Änderungen an Karten, Erläuterung dazu, warum manche Karten nicht bei DTC neu erscheinen....

Nicht abschrecken lassen vom Titel des Videos:
Das ist der mexikanische VTES-Kanal, aber das Video ist in englischer Sprache.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEeqwkP ... ex=5&t=10s

Und Hugh überlegt laut, dass er davon ausgehe, dass BCP die Imbued wahrscheinlich nicht bei DTC verfügbar machen werde. Und warum. Vielleicht. :happybirthday: :schnellweg:
