Miquel Jorge Tortajada is the 2026 champion of Spain!
Reported by Julio García Martín, prince of Alcalá de Henares:
On June 27th, 158 Metuselahs answered the call. During this day, old pacts were broken, alliances were formed only to die a few turns later, and the Jyhad was once again waged on the tables of the 2026 Spanish VTES Championship.
However, it wasn't just the strategists who attended the gathering. Those whose hands have shaped the game's imagery for decades were also present. Presiding over this illustrious conclave was Lawrence Snelly, a true legend with over thirty years of experience illustrating the cards that have accompanied generations of players. Alongside him shone some of the biggest names in the national scene: Francisco Tebar, Marta Ruiz Anguera, and María Loren, who shared their talent by signing cards, chatting with attendees, and offering the opportunity to purchase original artwork.
The future was also represented. Daniel Argudo, one of Black Chantry's newest additions, offered a glimpse of the talent that will shape the look of the game's upcoming expansions. Completing this exceptional lineup was Ginés Quiñonero, Black Chantry's art director, reinforcing the bond between the publisher and a community that continues to grow year after year.
Artists: María, Marta, Lawrence, Francisco and Ginés.
When the moment of truth arrived, the real fight for the throne began.
With 158 participants, every victory point was precious, and every decision could determine the outcome of a game. The tables became battlefields where diplomacy was as lethal as the cards themselves, and where patience proved as important as aggression. Despite the event's scale, the championship proceeded at an excellent pace, with hardly any delays and an exemplary atmosphere, demonstrating once again the commitment of all the players.
Predictions suggested that at least three tables would be needed to reach the final. But fate had other plans. The competition was incredibly close. Dozens of players arrived at the two tables, and the final spot was decided in a dramatic three-way tie. Two tables and nine victory points were enough to achieve glory... while others, by an almost imperceptible margin, saw their dream of competing for the title slip away.
Standings:
1. Miquel Jorge Tortajada 3 GW 9 VP
2. Israel Alcalde 3 GW 9 VP
3. Ivan Bernal 2 GW 10 VP
4. Oscar Garcia Vera 2 GW 9 VP
5. Alfonso Barrientos 2 GW 9 VP
And then came the final table.
Five Metuselahs took their seats, knowing that only one would leave the room as champion. For almost two hours, every action was measured, every temporary alliance concealed an inevitable betrayal, and every move brought them closer to or further from the coveted victory.
As night was about to claim the board, Miki Jorge Tortajada, who had arrived as the top seed, demonstrated why he had dominated the championship since the previous rounds. He waited for his moment, played patiently, read the board with precision, and when the opportunity arose, he delivered the decisive blow. The point and a half he got was enough to claim the title and become the new 2026 Spanish VTES Champion.

Every great story needs allies. Our deepest gratitude to the sponsors Glass Taller, Átomo Game, TCG Market, Infernal Forge, Doctor Muge, Kingdom Wargame, Estalia, Black Penny, and Alcalá Comics, who made this championship possible, and especially to Black Chantry, whose support allows VTES to continue bringing together players from all over Spain each year. Also thanks to Conclave Ibérico and the Círculo de Isengard Cultural Association, with its sponsor Domino's Pizza.
The dust settles once more on the tables. The cards return to their decks. The old guard retreats back into the shadows. But only for a while. Because the eternal struggle never ends. See you at the 2027 Spanish VTES Championship!
Thanks for this report, and thanks to everyone at this HUGE event!
Jess Nash is the 2026 North American Champion!
These tournaments were played June 18-21 in Columbus, Ohio. Reported by Ben Peal:
Greetings, Methuselahs!
We've wrapped up the 2026 Week of Nightmares and Origins weekend, and we're proud to present Jess Nash as the 2026 North American Champion! Jess emerged victorious with a Path of Power and the Inner Voice political deck. We welcomed over 60 unique players during the week, including players visiting from Austria, Denmark, and Australia!
After eight tournaments held over five days at Game Table Adventures in Newark, OH and R Bar in Columbus, we shifted over to the Greater Columbus Convention Center for the Origins Game Fair. Kelly Schultz got things going Thursday morning, besting a field of 50 players with a V5 Toreador political deck. We had 51 players for the Thursday evening event, won by Will Matson with a V5 Ravnos Anarch bleed deck. Alex Romano threw everyone for a loop Friday morning, winning a 55-player tournament with a Henry Twister deck. VTES legend Martin Weinmayer was back to his old tricks on Friday evening, winning a 55-player tournament with Gangrel Anarchs.
On Saturday, we had 59 players for the North American Championship. Jess Nash took the early lead, contesting with his prey Karl Schaefer, who was also playing Path of Power and the Inner Voice politics, and eventually ousting him. Ned Leeds followed up by ousting Chris Malec's Ashur-uballit deck with Path of Caine Enkidu rush. Ned's deck stalled out and Kelly Schultz was able to take advantage, ousting him with a Cybele Scobax deck. In tense head-to-head, Jess uncorked some big damaging votes and finished off Kelly for the victory.
Wrapping things up on Sunday, we had a 33-player tournament which Martin Weinmayer won, pulling out his signature Stanislava deck.
Thanks again to all of you for another great Week of Nightmares and Origins! Shout outs to KGS Cards, Rick Stock, Mark Loughman, Jay Kristoff, and Alex Romano for prize support and tournament organization! And thanks as always to Origins, R Bar, and Game Table Adventures for their gracious hosting!
Congratulations to the tournament winners and again to Jess Nash for winning the 2026 North American Championship!
I look forward to seeing you all again next year!

Angseesing for entertainment and consistent pooping.

Recent news in the World of Darkness
BIG news is coming for Vampire: The Masquerade! To sum it up briefly: A "new Vampire: The Masquerade project" is in active development at White Wolf, smelling a lot like an actual new edition of the game. Some of the key people in the team are Jess Lanzillo (Creative Director), Martyna “Outstar” Zych (Creative Producer) and Diogo Nogueira (Lead Game Designer). According to the official announcement, the intention is to craft this with the player community feedback at heart, with human-made art, and rethinking how metaplot shapes future content. More details are coming at Gen Con 2026, including a first public playtesting. White Wolf urges you to air your thoughts, for example at their Discord server. Exciting times!
