Invitation to playtest

Dear V:TES Community,

Carl, Eric and I are seeking volunteers to participate in the playtest of a small set of Sabbat-themed V:TES cards. This playtest round will be open to all participants who register with one of us. Cards will be privately distributed via e-mail in PDF format for ease of printing. More precise details about the process will be provided to those who express interest. If you want to take part, please contact me <> or Carl Pilhatsch <> at your earliest convenience for more details.

Thank you for your attention and interest,

Carl, Eric and Jeff

Although I encourage players to test their card ideas (and I can check cardtexts if they're sent to me), I'm quite disappointed that a member of the VEKN Inner Circle is trying to develop, test, and release a set in parallel of the official VEKN set.

For my part, I'm excited that these pillars of the community are coming up with even more new cards to use. I would encourage the VEKN to consider making this second expansion official, provided that they determine that the cards are useful and interesting and so on.

What is this doing here without the vekn permission? Why not just submit to the vekn to make this a second official vekn set, to be made official in parallel with the existing set or in sequence thereafter?

Or like, i dunno...let it go....damn this is such a mess.

VEKN.net is the official place for VTES discussion, so it should be here. Their expansion is no more official, nor legal, nor will it likely be, than any other fan expansion, or any of the cards in the Expansion Sets & Card Ideas thread. So, this should be viewed as if anyone there said "come test my expansion!"

Whether or not it's appropriate for the past actions of those three players to result in dismissal from the IC is a different matter than what they are asking now, I think.
