Vampire: The Eternal Struggle Product Roadmap 2023-2024

Words by Ben Peal, Product Director, Black Chantry Productions:

Ravnos, Salubri, and Tzimisce
By now you’ve certainly seen some of the previews of the upcoming cards for the Ravnos, Salubri, and Tzimisce pre-constructed decks. Much like the Ministry and Banu Haqim, we’ll see changes in these clans that reflect how they’re represented in Fifth Edition Vampire: The Masquerade.

Ravnos
Having been ravaged by the events of Gehenna and the Week of Nightmares, the Ravnos are much reduced in number and higher in generation. Expect themes of tempting fate, taking risks, nightmares, and being on the run. The Ravnos in-clan disciplines are now Animalism, Obfuscate, and Presence, and the vampires in this deck have joined the ranks of the Anarchs. Chimerstry effects are represented with Obfuscate-Presence combo-discipline cards and a card that requires both Presence and Ravnos.

Salubri
Once played for fools by their clan founder Saulot, his death gives them the opportunity to pursue their own destiny. While rumored to be only seven in number, this rumor may have been spread by the Salubri themselves to hide their true numbers. The Salubri in this deck are unaligned Independent vampires and their in-clan disciplines are now Auspex, Dominate, and Fortitude. Obeah and Valeren effects are represented with cards that require either Dominate and Salubri or Fortitude and Salubri. We do intend to feature the Salubri aligned with the Sabbat in a future release.

Tzimisce
With domains and holdings torn asunder by Gehenna and The Beckoning, the Tzimisce seek to reclaim and rebuild. Bitter grudges against their elders and a desire to redefine themselves lead many Tzimisce to the modern ways of the Anarchs. The Tzimisce in this deck are aligned with the Anarch sect and their in-clan disciplines are now Animalism, Dominate, and Protean. Vicissitude effects are represented with cards that require either Dominate and Protean or Protean and Tzimisce. Sabbat Tzimisce exist in rough equal numbers as Anarch Tzimisce and you can expect to see them when we cover the Sabbat sect.


[...]

We will also be releasing New Blood decks for the Ravnos, Salubri, Tzimisce, Hecata, and Lasombra. The Hecata and Lasombra pre-constructed decks as well as the aforementioned New Blood decks are presently scheduled for a Spring 2024 release.

Auf FB fragte heute in der UK-Gruppe jemand, ob es ein Update zum Release der drei Sets gäbe.

Hughs Antwort:
"Still awaiting confirmation of shipping from Cartamundi - don’t have a lot of power in that relationship"

Email-Newsletter von Black Chantry Distribution vom 21.12.2023:

Shipping status for starters

New starter decks

As I still haven't received any tracking information from Cartamundi regarding the shipment of the deck to me, it's now evident that the cards won't arrive before Christmas.

Although the cards have been printed and shipping details for various locations have been dispatched, I'm puzzled why this process has taken nearly two weeks. Once the cards are on their way to me, I anticipate a prompt delivery considering the printing facility is just 700 km away.

I've assembled a team of warehouse ghouls who are on standby, ensuring that all orders are as prepared as possible. Upon the cards' arrival at my doorstep, I estimate that all pending orders will be shipped within 2 days.

Best Regards,
Jesper

P.S. On a brighter note, I'm excited to share that I have two completely new secret products waiting on the shelves. Hopefully, they'll be revealed at the start of the new year!

Ravnos, Salubri and Tzimisce decks now ready to ship

Ravnos, Salubri and Tzimisce is ready for 2024

I can see the irony that 12 hours after I wrote my last update that, we will not see the cards on this side of Christmas. A driver was knocking on the door with thousands of decks!

The release date I've heard is January 2, 2024.

But for you to have a chance to receive the cards for release, we'll be sending them out between Christmas and New Year. Most people with preorders should have received tracking information by now.

This also means that if you want to be among the first to have these cards in your hands, it's still not too late to place your orders and be ready for the new year.
