Hmm, a question about Gianna di Canneto. The text says, in part:
"When another of your minions is in combat, Gianna can tap and burn herself to burn any equipment on the opposing minion, or..."
Can she do that even if the opposing minion has no equipment? Discerning minds can probably figure out why I'm asking
Loving the new set based on some read-throughs and some idle speculation at the EC, will be fun to see how the new cards work out in practice.

I don't think you can freely feed Khazar because there is no target for using this effect. It would be IMO the same as playing a parity shift while being the biggest pool.

Well, maybe. On the other hand, the phrase "any equipment" is vague, and could also be understood to mean "equipment, if any exits". That's why I'm asking.

Because, according to A World of Darkness (Second Edition): "Sarrasine's appearance is that of an androgynous, almost asexual youth. His shoulder-length hair is more white than blond, framing a delicately boned face. His eyes are pale blue, and a tracery of blue veins is visible beneath his pale skin. His thin lips are usually twisted in a wry, seductive smile. Sarrasine has slender hands and long fingers, with which he gestures gracefully during conversation. He favors loose white clothes and silver jewelry."

Sarrasine
Rating: 4
First thing I thought when I saw this one is, why is there a woman in the picture, when the basic version is quite clearly male? I guess there is some story reason to that which someone can maybe share?

Correct.
Is the text on Serpent's Numbing Kiss correct?
As far as I can see, the superior's "This (opposing) minion does not untap as normal during your untap phase" is a null statement, since other Methuselah's minions don't untap then anyway.
Edited to add: This is from the flattened library file - I haven't downloaded the other version to see if they're different.
Minion cards are controlled by the player whos minions they are on, so it will burn on the persons untap phase whos minion it is on.

Do you have some cards in mind?is it just me, or do some of the cards seem to be worded peculiarly?

No. You would need an equipment to be there to burn her.Hmm, a question about Gianna di Canneto. The text says, in part:

Can she do that even if the opposing minion has no equipment?

for starters, Ennoia's Theater.
it doesn't conform to the "during x, do y" template as well as it could, like Dreams of the Sphinx.
in my mind, the card should read like this:
there is a card titled... "Thing." seriously?
Rewilding should read
all of the wraiths are susceptible to non-aggravated damage, which upon some research isn't an actual gripe, but a preconception i had. so you get a pass on that.
Dam the Heart's River reads:
should read more like torn signpost:
there are, extra commas, that make the cards seem like they're, narrated by, Christopher, Walken, or.... god, forbid... the.... William... Shatner...
i haven't really had much time to look through the crypt cards, but i get a feeling that this batch didn't pay much attention to how other similar cards were worded and it comes off feeling amateurish, i guess? i certainly don't mean any disrespect to any of the design team.

Unique location.
You can tap this card to get +1 hand size this turn. You can tap this card during your influence phase to get +1 transfer.
it doesn't conform to the "during x, do y" template as well as it could, like Dreams of the Sphinx.
Unique master.
Put this card in play. Put a counter on this card each time you tap it. When the third counter is added, burn this card. Tap this card to get +2 hand size until the end of the current turn. Tap during your untap phase to gain an additional pool if you have the Edge. Tap to move a blood from the bank to a vampire in your uncontrolled region.
in my mind, the card should read like this:
Unique location.
Tap this card to get +1 hand size this turn. During your influence phase, you may tap this card to gain a (or alternatively "for +1") transfer.
there is a card titled... "Thing." seriously?
Rewilding should read
Burn a location controlled by any Methuselah. That Methuselah burns 2 pool.
all of the wraiths are susceptible to non-aggravated damage, which upon some research isn't an actual gripe, but a preconception i had. so you get a pass on that.
Dam the Heart's River reads:
Frenzy. Only usable before range is determined. A vampire can play only one Dam the Heart's River each combat.
This combat, each strike or damaging effect made against the opposing minion inflicts +1 damage.
As above, and this combat, strikes cost the opposing minion 1 additional blood or life, and the opposing minion can choose not to strike.

Each of this minion's strikes or damaging effects inflict +1 damage for the remainder of combat. A vampire can play only one Dam the Heart's River each combat.

Seems serious to me, I guess it is supposed to be gathering (the word is still used in the Nordics)

This very same question was asked in the #vtes irc channel. I guess non-Scandinavians just don't learn what a "thing" is in elementary school.
Now I'm eagerly awaiting for a card called Turpakäräjät, which is colloquial Finnish for "a thing, but with Finnish politics ".
