Vampire: Elder Kindred Network's second expansion for Vampire: the Eternal Struggle is The Unaligned, which focuses on the main Independent clans: Assamites, Followers of Set, Gangrel, Giovanni and Ravnos. The expansion is released in PDF format.
The set contains 47 crypt cards and 26 library cards.
The Vampire: the Masquerade storyline concluded with Gehenna, cutting short the efforts of the Assamites to join the Camarilla. The Unaligned explores this plot arc more deeply with some emphasis on the Vizier caste and the Assamites' candidate for the Inner Circle. The library cards have a strong focus on the Assamites' combat capabilities.

Yup. looks good. Al-Ashrad is cool (Assmite IC!), and another way to get around combat ends besides Psyche is very welcome -- this makes using the potentially blood-costing Qui strikes much more viable. Me likes.
One interesting thing: sup Sunguine Entrapment doesn't have "as above", so you'll have to choose between preventing dodge or S:CE. Usually it'll be S:CE, but...

Yeah, might be that Staredown will be more popular than Majesty in future if meta turns to be Assamite combat heavy (yeah right)...

This. Its already a corner case card. I don't know why they won't give it the full effect. Maybe there's time to make it SUP: as above, and no combat ends.
Please.

I really like this design decision. Anything that makes combat less predictable (even if just a little) is good.

Oh, definitely disagree there, I think it's a great card (though for a narrow application range, of course). Consider: almost always, you can make an educated guess about which "prevent" you need to choose. Opponent has discipline with access to S:CE? Forbid that. Otherwise, forbid dodge. Sure, you may run into someone with access to both at the same time (Staredown, for example), but really, how common is that? I doubt many decks will start swapping a lot of Majestys for Staredowns just because of this card . And if this somehow does cause some diversification from just Majesty, I consider that to be a good thing.
Besides that, this is a great help to Assamite strike-based combat decks. Sure, Psyche! is nice if you have a permanent source of damage (gun, usually), but isn't that hot when you use strike cards, some of which cost blood.

Everyone is going on about the combat card. How about the 9 cap IC member? Plus the preview stated the library cards will be strong Assamite combat, where is the Necromancy & Chimerstry loving?

That was the Assamite preview. The previews for the other clans are coming.
