I'm interested in the progress of this section: I've introduced the game to a guy in my board gaming group who is mildly interested. Anything pre-packaged that I can show him is wonderful.
Since I can't find a place to comment on the new players' corner page, I am sharing my thoughts here re: "What kind of game VTES is".
1. It's a game of player elimination.
2. It's based on a modern, supernatural RPG setting.
3. It plays like a heavy strategy board game.
4. It shares similarities with Magic: the Gathering.
In other words:
If you don't want to be eliminated or to eliminate, you won't like this game.
If you like the trappings of a modern, supernatural setting, you might like this game.
If you like other games that involve multiple players, a long running time, and complex rules, you might like this game. And, inversely...
If you already know how to play MTG, you can learn this game easily.

I think this bit is very interesting. The main objective of the game is of course to win (well, unless you play for fun, but winning is fun!), and to be able to win you have to make sure that you are not eliminated. Ie, you cannot jerk around with some durdle deck. You also need to influence your table allies to help you when you´re in a weak position. I think more people should try playing the game more competitivly, ie focus on not being eliminated. My playgroup play like that, and people seldom get eliminated early = more fun for everyone.If you don't want to be eliminated or to eliminate, you won't like this game.

Check out my VTES blog: Gaming with BS
I also host a google doc which separates the TWDA into clans . That means I track how often clans win, which crypt groups get used, and how many people attend events. You can access all of that info here:

Many thanks for those who provided feedback. The Beginner's Section has been updated with two new sections - #1 What kind of game is VTES, and why would I want to play it? and #6 How do I build my first deck? For the later section, I used the wayback machine to find and revive some articles posted on The Lasombra's site, which I'm very excited about!
Anyway, go check it out , and please post comments and feedback! Let's make this beginner's page awesome!

Well, I've finally returned to my demo deck series! Check out my latest article on my
Toreador demo deck
.
Also, remember that I'm working on the beginner's page for this site, and it's currently up on my blog for comments and suggestions. It's not complete yet, but it's nearing completion, and I would love to get some feedback on it before it migrates to this site. So go check out my New Plyaers' Corner !

I've just posted the final deck for my initial demo deck series as an after Thanksigiving treat (or just a normal treat for those outside the US). So come and check out what I've put together for
Clan Gangrel
!
Also, if you have any good ideas for a basic deck made from the group 1+2 Tremere, please post your ideas - I've really been stumped on what to do with the rather strange group 1 crypt!
