The Unaligned Survey

I filled out the survey, and applied ratings to the cards I knew off the top of my head. Looks good IMHO overall. The only thing that I feel was lacking was a sprinkling of crypt cards for "lesser influential" clans of the expansion, as done for the camarilla clans in AH,FN,HotB, ect.
Overall I enjoyed the set, having a soft spot for FoS.
Keep up the good work...

I've always assumed those were a commercial consideration more than anything else - a few Camarilla toys in an otherwise Camarilla-free zone, or Sabbat vampires in an Anarch-related set etc. Helps shift the boosters.

While I'd have no problem with any set having a few more 'random' vampires, it is worth considering that that's maybe another dozen pieces of artwork to source. Also, a lone Brujah (or whoever) is a little more annoying to break in a playtest - you may well be having to build a deck that has practically zero other new cards in it.

Well, for that matter, every card has considerations like art. I agree with you about the play testing, but think about cards like Makarios, The Seducer (AH, Toreador, dom SER AUX PRE)
His ability has a very "Followers of Set" feel to it. Though it has questionable use, His Disciplines make him right at home with a followers deck.
I'm must using him as an example of how a little flavor can still fit in the set and not break it.
