Hi BCP,
Please could you investigate why your Rules Director is ignoring questions for weeks at a time - even when asked in his "preferred" forum?
If you're expecting people to pay for your card game, the least you can do is ensure that you provide answers to ruling questions. That's how serious card games work.

BCP, please could you do something about the ability of players to get official answers to rules problems?

Is that similar to Blizzard's "soon"?

Sabbat.Black Hand Shakar: Lech loathe ranged weapons. Once each action, he may burn 1 blood to become Camarilla Prince of Krakow until the end of the action.
Hi James,
The question is on my review list, answer will be provided as soon as possible.

With all respect given to the people in charge, requiring some weird autocratic and untimely process via asking questions on an internet forum for rulings is less than ideal, especially now that there's paying customers who would like answers sooner than later. I'm hoping the new rulebook and some new rules resources will help make this no longer an issue.

The ruling stands as it is better to have different cards with similar effects behaving the same way. Garrote will be reprinted to reflect it (using the "would go to torpor... burn the vampire instead" template). In the meantime, I'll update the official card text.In [LSJ 20010725] , LSJ ruled that burning Garrote to burn a vampire is a replacement effect like Decapitate and Amaranth.
Like Decapitate and Amaranth, burning the Garrote would burn the opposing
vampire before he hits torpor.
This isn't terribly relevant for that Facebook thread, as the answer for Tension is one pool is burned either way - either the vampire doesn't go to torpor at all, or it goes to torpor and then isn't ready when it burns - but it would be relevant if a vampire had Fame on them, or similar torpor-requiring effects (Sylvester Simms, Hasina Kesi, Jaggedy Andy etc.).
The thing is, Garrote has been reprinted since then, and is still not worded as a replacement effect, while Decapitate and Amaranth are worded as replacement effects.
Is the ruling out of date (or perhaps wrongly conceived in the first place)? Or does the card text of Garrote need to be updated?
I don't have access to it to that content/comment, though I do have access to the group.This is regarding this Facebook comment and thread .
