Black Chantry: Legacy Card Singles

[hardyrange]

Es geht los mit der Aktion von Black Chantry, in 2020 via Print-on-demand "alte" Karten verfügbar zu machen:

https://www.blackchantry.com/2019/12/24 ... -any-card/

Our holiday gift to all lovers of Vampire: The Eternal Struggle is a glimpse of the future. Today Black Chantry Productions have made available 113 cards for print-on-demand on Drivethrucards.com. The big difference to our previous offers on this platform is that these cards are not fixed to certain amounts in a bundle. Instead you can pick and choose freely! You can get 10 of one card or 5 of two cards or 1 of 10 different cards, as long as you end up with a minimum of 10 cards.

These first cards are all Assamite and Quietus cards, 57 crypt cards and 56 library cards. All have been set to the “modern” layout and edited to the current wording. A few cards have had some minor changes:

Al-Ashrad, Amr of Alamut can now burn locations requiring any clan (not only Camarilla clans).
Qadir ul-Ghani: The clan he changes to must be another clan than the clan to which he currently belongs.
Ur-Shulgi, The Shepherd: The Tajdid that is retrieved from the library is now revealed.
Zahir, Hand of the Silsila: The contract that is retrieved from the library is now revealed.

So what do we mean by “a glimpse of the future”? While Black Chantry will continue to produce preconstructed decks and fixed bundles, this will be another way to get Vampire: The Eternal Struggle cards. More cards will be added to the “pick and choose” offer on Drivethrucards during 2020.

Seasons greetings to all VTES fans!

Erste Klarstellungen in Facebook-Gruppen:

Es gab zunächst technische Probleme mit Filtern auf der Website von DriveThruCards, die mittlerweile behoben sind.
Ebenso wurden versehentlich die geänderten Karten (s.o.) noch mit ihrem alten Text online gestellt; dies wird gerade korrigiert.

Nicht enthalten sind die Assamiten/Quietus-Karten aus dem Unaligned-Set, Anarch-Karten mit Quietus, und einige wenige andere alte Karten.

Es gibt nach wie vor leider keinen europäischen Drucker von DriveThruCards; die Karten müssen also aus Amerika bestellt werden.

Auf Anregung von Steffen möchte ich hier gerne unsere gesammelten Tipps posten:
Welche von den per Print-on-demand "neu aufgelegten" Karten braucht man denn überhaupt, und wie oft?

Mein Vorschlag:
Ich stelle hier die Listen der Karten ein, wie sie nach und nach von BCP/DrivethruCards herausgegeben werden.
Ich werde die Karten markieren, die ich schon in freier Wildbahn gesehen habe, und einen Vorschlag anzufügen, wie oft ich die in einer Sammlung vorschlagen würde. Teilweise beruhen diese Angaben auf sehr speziellen Deck-Ideen, aber hey...
Jeder von Euch soll dann bitte hier Ergänzungen, Gegenvorschläge, andere Meinungen posten - und ich ergänze dann gerne unsere gemeinsame Empfehlungs-Liste.

Ich meine, man solle von jedem Vampir bei VTES mindestens ein Exemplar haben - man weiß ja nie.

Aus dem Vampire: Elder Kindred Network Newsletter December 2019:

http://www.vekn.net/2-uncategorised/471 ... ember-2019

As many of you hopefully noticed, Black Chantry Productions had a little surprise holiday gift for us all: the beginning of a VTES single card print-on-demand service. Check out "VTES Legacy Card Singles” at Drivethrucards, and read more about it in the official announcement made on December 24.

Unfortunately, there were some errors in some of the files, so some cards had to be temporarily excluded. They will be back when the files have been reworked and cards physically proofed.

Many players immediately asked – why start with these Assamite cards? We forward that question to Hugh Angseesing, CEO of Black Chantry:
- Hello! Assamites will be getting a new, modern VTES treatment under the name Banu Haqim. This mirrors the treatment within the wider World of Darkness. It felt appropriate to bring the older cards out as a legacy purchase for players to continue to use them within VTES and Drivethrucards seemed like the ideal way to get these older cards back out there.

Getting the first VTES Legacy Card Singles is up on Drivethrucards as promised proved more difficult than expected. But they will all be there very soon, even the mighty Ur-Shulgi!

[hardyrange]

Ur-Shulgi ist nun bei DriveThruCards verfügbar.

Jetzt auch eine kurze News von BCP dazu..

https://www.blackchantry.com/2020/02/24 ... l-awakens/

An ancient evil awakens

In certain fragments of the Book of Nod, primarily those recovered in the Middle East, passages appear that speak of the old gods – those worshipped by the mortals who dwelt in the Second City…

Now available: Ur-Shulgi, The Shepherd and the other cards that were missing from VTES Legacy Card Singles at Drivetruecards.com. More is being prepared!

Ich mag auch den letzten Satz...

Aus dem VEKN Newsletter 02/2020 einige Erläuterungen zu den Änderungen bei den "Reprints":

http://www.vekn.net/2-uncategorised/474 ... ruary-2020

CARD CHANGES AND CLARIFICATIONS IN VTES LEGACY CARD SINGLES

A message from VEKN and Black Chantry Rules Director Vincent Ripoll:

Hello! With the reprint of the Assamite cards on Drivethrucards.com, we had a unique opportunity to dust off plenty of cool cards that had not been reprinted for many years. Most of them had their card texts updated to make them clearer and in line with our latest releases with no functional changes; however some cards have slightly changed. Here is the list:

Al-Ashrad, Amr of Alamut → Al-Ashrad can now burn locations requiring any clan (not only Camarilla clans).
With the recent shift of allegiance of many clans, remembering the sect to which clans are tied becomes harder and harder, and we would rather have players being able to play the game without referring to an appendix. It is the reason why Al-Ashrad's ability to burn locations is no longer restricted to locations requiring clans of a given sect, but only locations requiring a clan. Those are easy to spot since they have a clan symbol in their attribute bar.

Qadir ul-Ghani → The clan he changes to must be another clan than the clan to which he currently belongs.
Qadir could previously "change" his clan to clan he already belonged to. Considering that it is not really a change and all the rulings related to permanent change of clan vs. temporary change of clan, we decided to make it more logical.

Ur-Shulgi, The Shepherd → The Tajdid that is retrieved from the library is now revealed.
This is the continuation of the change we have made on cards that search the library for a specific type of card: cards need to be revealed to avoid mistakes or cheating.

Zahir, Hand of the Silsila → The contract that is retrieved from the library is now revealed.
For the same reason as above, the contract is now revealed.

Haqim's Law: Judgment → Can be used by anarchs.
The card's official card text had changed with the release of the RTR 11/05/2018. Anarch has been since then a sect on its own, and all the cards that required an Independent vampire and that could be used by an anarch have been updated to allow the Anarchs to also use them.

Some cards have changed to reflect some rule changes, for instance:

Condemn the Sins of the Father
+1 stealth action.
[qui] (D) Choose a clan. Lock all younger vampires of the chosen clan.
[QUI] As above, and each of those vampires burns 1 blood.

Poison the Well of Life
+1 stealth action.
[qui] (D) Burn a hunting ground.
[QUI] (D) Burn all hunting grounds controlled by other Methuselahs.

The first prints of Condemn the Sins of the Father and Poison the Well of Life occurred before the Keepers of Tradition rule change about targeting multiple Methuselahs. At that time, if only one player controlled all the targets, then the action was directed. Otherwise, it was undirected. With the rule change, the action is now directed to all the controllers of the targets and no longer undirected (unless you are yourself the only target). The reprint was a perfect occasion to update the card texts so they match the latest rules.

That's all folks!

Neulich, auf Facebook...

(genauer: Black Chantry Productions, 06.09.2020)

hi, will the out of print cards be availlable to POD ?

Hi! Depends on what out of print cards you mean. Our goal is that all cards that are used will be made available at some point. See https://www.blackchantry.com/about-us/faq/

i mean the cards from editions before you resurrected VtES.

Yes, most of those cards that aren´t terribly bad for actually playing the game with will be reprinted at some point, either in our normal "store products" or at POD. Or both!
