12:28 AM - White Wolf Announces V:TES Player’s Guide and Legacies of the Blood Expansion

White Wolf has officially announced a new Player’s Guide for August 2005 and Legacies of the Blood card expansion in November 2005. Some details:

The V:TES Player’s Guide, available in August provides the ultimate V:TES reference for new and experienced players alike. It offers a comprehensive survey of deck building, as well as an array of sample decks and deck archetypes. It also includes strategy articles by two of the world’s top players and a visual encyclopedia of the entire Vampire: The Eternal Struggle card catalogue (over 2,000 card images).

Available in November is Legacies of the Blood, the next expansion for V:TES. It focuses on vampires of smaller clans and bloodlines, and introduces those native to sub-Saharan Africa, who first appeared in the roleplaying book Kindred of the Ebony Kingdom?. Fans can choose from eight-deck starter displays, one of four individual 90-card starter decks, individual 11-card booster packs, or 36-pack booster displays—all of which provide new minions and new strategies to bring to bear in the Eternal Struggle. Starter decks are all balanced for beginning play and feature one of the Ebony Kingdom clans, making them perfect for new players. More experienced players can look forward to the support Legacies of the Blood provides for the smaller “clans” introduced in 2001’s popular Bloodlines set, including the Ahrimanes, Blood Brothers and Samedi.
