Is there any plans to bring that back.

Me and many players in our local group found it very useful in getting some inspiration when wanting to make a deck from a clan that we had little experience with, or needed inspiration from.

Cheers

That could be done. The most difficult part is definining when a deck belongs to a clan, or another.

Lasombra Jeff's method was far from perfect, but it worked well enough.

Stop making clan decks, it's bad carma!

You mean bad Karma or bad Carna?
If its the latter I agree. She's better with at least half Tremere Antitribu.

That's a good point. Maybe if it the criteria uses the storyline event rules regarding crypt-
being at least 75% (e.g. 9 out of 12). I think (not 100% sure through) The Lasombra dude used that on his clan listing criteria.

While the TWDA archive isn't currently separated by clan, I've created a google document that does (although I've only gone through decks 2008 to the present). It also includes a fair amount of useful statistics like which crypt groupings are the most popular, how many people attended each event (and how many attend all events in a single year), things like that. It always provides a link back to the deck, so you can just find the clan you are most interested in, and click on decks to be taken to their entry in TWDA. You can get access to that google doc here . I try to publicize it in my sig, but I think a lot of people don't know that it exists.

Oh, and the definition I used (shamelessly stolen from ICL) is that the crypt must be comprised of >50% one clan, and it must have at least 2 crypt cards from that clan. It's not a perfect definition, but seems to work pretty well.
