A New Vampire: The Eternal Struggle Resource

Welcome!

There are plenty of resources listed at kgs-cards.com, however we feel it's important to add another one...this one. As a distributor and retailer for Vampire: The Eternal Struggle, KGS Cards is frequently asked for advice on how to get started, what sets work well together, and many other topics. Over the course of the coming months, we hope to create entries to help onboard newcomers and returning players, to give deck-building advice for BCP card pools, and perhaps wax philosophical about the game from time to time.

I'm glad that I didn't pick either of the first two as both of those showed up in the event. I've previously won with a...

It's been more than 18-months since Black Chantry Productions attempted to test a rule change for vampire contesting. Given that my NDA has expired regarding that test and we have a new format in open playtest, I wondered if it was time to talk about resurrecting the potential change. Proposed Change This text is from the rules test and not my invention. The highlight section is the proposed change: At any time during this phase, if a vampire has at least as many blood counters as their capacity, you can move that vampire face up to the ready region, unlocked. The counters are kept on them to represent their blood. Counters in excess of his capacity drain off immediately as usual. If the vampire grants additional transfers, those cannot be used on this turn because transfers are gained at the start of the influence phase. If the vampire would contest, you may choose to remove it from the game instead of moving it to the ready region and distribute the pool on it among ...
