Announce your Presence

A friend of mine opened a gaming store and I wanted to buy something on the opening night for good luck. There were some VtES starters so I grabbed a couple of those.

That's great! What were the starters you bought?

I got the Black Hand ones. Malkavian and Toreador antitribu. After reading the rules I realized I needed at least one or two more so I grabbed a Tremere one just before playing my first game. I really like the toolboxiness of the Tremere and hardly even touched the other two. Then I bought the Tzimisce Sabbat war starter and played them and the Tremere for the most part during my first year.

Hi all, I'm Stewart MacLeod, aka. Disco Stu, Prince of Melbourne, Australia. The Melbourne playgroup is probably the second- or third-biggest in Australia (although that's still not much by European/North American standards), and is split fairly evenly between those that remember the WOTC days, those that came in around Final Nights, and others who've joined the game in the last couple of years.

I first picked up Jyhad in late 1994 and have played regularly since early 1995. I remember those early, heady days... for many months, a Spirit's Touch I'd pulled from my first booster was the sole intercept card in my collection!

My deck interests tend toward seemingly bizarre combinations of disciplines and special abilities. My favourite decks are those that can change gear quickly mid-game, surprising opponents with unexpected lunges. For example, I had a Tupdog KRC deck that then influenced out a !Tremere and ousted via the multiple dunking of a Famous prey, or an Unre deck that eschewed Slaughterhouses to use Form of Corruption + Lazarene Inquisitor. Unfortunately, my decks can be a little fragile, and I often don't have the patience to playtest them extensively.

If you're travelling to Melbourne, drop me a line and I can look to arrange accomodation / casual games for your stay.

cheers

Good to see you here Disco Stu!
Congrats on your recent win by the way...

I've been "lurking" since the beginning, but now that I have started making a few posts, I may as well announce my presence

My name is Emiliano Imeroni, I am an Italian player, currently prince of Brussels, Belgium. I started playing shortly after Camarilla Edition was released, and after that I have played (and organized tournaments, and tried to set-up and/or maintain playgroups) in Torino (Italy), Utrecht (NL), Swansea (UK) and finally Brussels.

If you are curious about me and VTES, I had once the honor of being interviewed for extrala's blog .

Hi Emiliano! I came to this thread to introduce myself, and I see you here.

My name is Sonam Adinolf. I am an American player, from New York City. I played the game a bit when it first came out, but didn't stick with it. I didn't really get serious about the game till I came back to it in 2005. When I discovered that a Stanislava deck that I made from nothing but some Jyhad and Dark Sovereigns I owned could still win tournaments, I was impressed at the lack of power creep.
I've been playing since then, and travelling around for tournaments since 2006.
