Hear the rumor about the WoD Living Card Game?

We are getting way off topic at tbus point. Which is good, as id rather discuss ways to hypothetically improve our game in future sets or even nitpick what we have and compare it to our source than talk about a game im not that excited about the idea of. (Which should mean alot to anyone from ffg lurking to see our response)

But if we google vampjre geneology, i think the math has been done for us in total vamps. We can if we desire, see every elder and get an idea of how many they embraced, and so on and so forth until we have roof trickling from caine of the number of potential vamps with dominate and the ability to have more yhan 5 dots. Then we can have a seperate list of vamps that could maybe get it easily regardless of having it.

But its moot, not to discount the base argument, but vtes translation has been liberal with its discipline assigning on vamps anyway, if you dont believe me che k children of the night and or kindreds most wanted and compare to ce, ae, kmw, bl, sw, etc vamps. Karsh's skin is so tough thosecwho have touched it and lived compare it to diamonds. Thats his stamina. His strength? He swings his sword and his enemys fall. Im not making this up, but i dont own the book to site it. I do own kmw(from 1994, oddly) and those vamps dont translate very well either. Ossians auspex hoser makes sense acter reading, as does much special text, but not the discilline spreads. Because elders have too many disciplines to document on a card. And sometimes randomness helps, sometimes it hurts.

But id like to have this talk movex to a dedicated thread, and i feel at least the design team would like our opinions, since they have strong data on how many vtes players like the fluff integration. And to his credit,Ben Peal seems more than willing to do what he can in that regard, at least thats the idea i got last year talking to him about it.

Just a quick opinion:
if the new one is compatible with vtes and the old cards can be used, then I am game.
if not, then I am abolutely not interested and not going to support the new one at all

Bit low amount, too low to support your thesis Ohlmann. Mainly really low generation vampires, and from clans that have dominate in clan.

Also, which may surprise you, not many kindred know what exactly dominate 6 really does (and it's just one of the possible option, if i recall right every discipline above 6 have more than one "path", dominate have at least 9 such "paths" so not everyone with dominate 6 can bypass eye contact requirement, most can't)(not to mention few - if any - of those would even consider using cell phones - those are PARANOID, traditional creatures).

they give permanent control of a vampire now, with an added view of the player hand and a fetching of uncovered haven on every vampire ? I didn't see the errata.

love you when you are being the usual jerk.
Last time I checked, governing down my vampires still gives me permanent control over them... bah. For the rest, other people already answered.

And control about his controller haven/hand too (he can take equipment from them).
