News from the Design Team

The short summary is:

The First VEKN Set (Danse Macabre) is waiting for some legal paperwork to be cleared and things finally signed before going into Print-On-Demand with Steve Wieck @ OneBookShelf.com.

So, since that all seems to basically be going swimmingly, why not start another set in the pipeline!  There will be a complete Independent Set (4 Traditional Indies + Gangrel) in playtest with a plan to be finalised later this year.

Championship Travellers

So who is travelling for the Nats?

Thinking a few pre, during, and post event beers and games are called for!  I've got flights and will be arriving late afternoon Friday (how far is Paramatta by train from the city station the airport link goes to?) and then heading home dinner time Monday.

Assume everyone will stay at the hotel that Andrew suggested since he got a deal for us (nice work!) at that place and it's within walking distance of everything.

Nats Decks

So who has selected what they're playing for the Nats?

As I have no play group currently I've been having to play JOL which means figuring out what deck to play in advance in order to tune it.  I have ruled out Disco's whacky 419 / Hide the Heart combo, it's very cool but I can't quite get it to run properly.  Got a Brujah Debate deck that isn't working that well either so that's on the scrap heap.  Have a nice Tupdog deck and an OBT toolbox with guns and black metamorphosis that are both going well but aren't going to win championships.

So currently thinking Baali Vote, Derange Malk sleaze, AAA sleaze, Nos Princes, Maryanne bloat / vote, or Howler and friends :-)  Hopefully narrow it down by October!

What's everyone else thinking?
