Hi there!
It's been a while, since someone posted anything in this community, so I'm not really expectig a lot of comments here (thou the more, the better).
Since I saw Mistress Fanchon in the preview of KoT I was dreaming to make a deck with her. So now, after a few days of thinking and designing, I present to you my idea of a deck (thou I should probably mention, that quite a few ideas were offered by ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) corvis_linda)
So here goes:

| Keepers of Tradition? |
[15 Nov 2008|10:28am] |
Sup suckers,
How would you little bastards feel about a release event for Keepers of Tradition?
It comes out on the 19th of November and I haven't heard a damn thing about it.
I would like to do a release event either that weekend or the weekend of the 29th.
Misty in Madison would prefer the 29th, but I don't know who would be in town for any of it.
Let me know what's up as soon as you can.
Sorry for the short notice.

V:tes Storyline Coordinator
****************************
Black Miracles and Lies
Prologue
The last time I saw such prophecies, Constantinople burned, but its ashes gave us the Sabbat. As then, many will burn, their reddish embers filling the Final Nights like dead stars. Is this our end? No, but it is a transformation. My sire once spoke of his sire and said "change breeds itself and at one point, the head must bite the tail to start the cycle once more."
-Sascha Vycos, Angel of Caine on the prophecies of the Kaymakli
Fragment
**************
The sound of her boots on the hard stone floor echoed around the confined space as Mercy, Knight Inquisitor stepped into the small
chapel in the Temple of Eternal Whispers. She stood for a moment
before the statue of Caine, father to all her kind, before drawing her
sword from beneath her long black coat, setting it on the ground
before the altar, and kneeling in prayer. Mercy prayed for guidance,
and she prayed for strength.
For years, Mercy had been chief Inquisitor of Montreal, leading the Kindred of the city in their efforts to expunge the too-frequent infernal threats to the city. In that time, she had never dealt with a threat on par with the one she was currently confronted with. Helena, a Toreador elder, who wore the infernal taint like an intoxicating perfume, had appeared among the Kindred of Montreal and turned the city on its head.
Everyone who had encountered her had fallen under Helena's spell. The Librarians were tripping over themselves to hand over their secrets. The Widows sheltered her, worshiped her. Even Archbishop Benezri, once strong and vigilant, had grown sullen and silent, implicated by his feeble inaction.
Mercy had reported the situation to her master in the Inquisition. She had demanded soldiers, action, and blood. They had responded with questions, lines of inquiry, and promises.
Among the pack leaders of Montreal, only Ezekiel had been quick to pledge his support to her. He had insisted that the Black Hand was prepared to serve the Inquisition. Ezekiel was naked in his
opportunism, more interested in deposing Benezri than confronting the
true threat. He could be used, but not trusted.
Mercy was prepared to do what was needed, alone if need be. Support would come once the stakes had been made clear. She would isolate those who opposed her, starting with the weakest among them, and tear their minds and bodies apart. Mercy would provide a graphic
demonstration of real power, of the price of opposing the Inquisition,
of the costs of supporting the infernalist. She would learn of
Helena's purpose in Montreal, and then she would set her trap.
Mercy prayed for success. She prayed for a miracle.
*****************
Jan Pierterzoon sat comfortably in a sumptuous boudoir on the ninth floor of the Chateau Frontenac, the main landmark of Quebec City. Deep in thought, he waited patiently to be introduced to Prince Annabelle, Tremere Lord and Regent of the Quebec Chantry. The city was completely under Tremere influence, a powerful stronghold.
"Monsieur Pierterzoon?" said a ghoul at the door. Jan snapped out of his reverie. That was the same ghoul that had picked him up at the airport. Arsene de Blainville was his name. More than 250 years under the same Tremere domitor, if he remembered their little talk correctly. That's some kind of patience.
"Yes."
"May I present to you Prince Annabelle. Madame," said the ghoul while moving out of the way.
Prince Annabelle entered the room. Brunette, with long hair, wearing fashionable glasses and a perfectly fit suit, she seemed more like a scholar than a sorceress.
"It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Mr. Pierterzoon."
"Je suis enchant," he replied with a strong Germanic accent.
"Yes. Your file mentioned the fact that you speak fluent French, if I remember correctly," she retorted with a smile.
"My file?"
"You must be kidding me," she replied. "You must know that we maintain files on-well-everything!" She chuckled. "Let's forget about Tremere procedures for a while and tell me about the reason you are here. Please, tell me. What is the disaster that brings you here?" Could she already know? He thought. Had she just read his mind?
"The Camarilla requires your help in a most important matter. We have a problem in Montreal."
Again, she laughed. "We always have a problem in Montreal. We all do here. But to what are you referring?"
"A powerful Kindred is hiding in Montreal, with a piece of metal that's causing us a lot of trouble. That vampire must be destroyed, as well as the object." After a pause, he continued. "It's a female Toreador. She is on our new top ten. Helena is her name."
Prince Annabelle was now dead serious. "And the object is?"
"A piece of scrap."
"You came all the way here in Quebec City to ask for my help, but you figured that you could hide sensitive information from me. I'm disappointed. What is the object?"
"If the rumor is true," Jan began, "it's an engraved disk with ancient writing about the end of the world."
"Gehenna?"
"Yes. If the rumor is true."
She waited for him to continue.
"That disk might be related to the incidents of this summer. It's been used as a recruiting tool for our enemies. That's why it must be destroyed," he said, with great emphasis on the last four words.
So, the disk is more important than the Toreador, she thought.
He continued, "Soon, many of our agents will go to Montreal to destroy both vampire and disk. You are expected to participate."
"3But we will. We are, after all, the Camarilla's humble servants. After Clan Ventrue, of course," she answered back with a grin.
After a moment, she asked, "Do you require any sustenance? It's pretty easy to hunt all around the castle, this time of the year. Or perhaps you have more specific needs. If so, Monsieur De Blainville will help you. Ask him for anything, your heart's desire."
"Perhaps." With a bow Jan took his leave.
Minutes later, in his chamber, Jan Pierterzoon was satisfied. He saw it in her eyes. She was intrigued. She would participate. Sunrise was near. He put himself to bed. Tomorrow, he would be in Boston. His first task would be to find someone in charge. His second task would be to persuade them to help, at a reasonable price.
****************
Helena entered the abandoned old tenement building impatiently. She followed the stench she had been tracking for several city blocks as it trailed down a rotting, crumbing staircase. She did not hesitate as she crossed the threshold, though she knew what was waiting for her below.
Scattered candles illuminated the large, barren basement. The cellar floor had been torn away, the foundation ripped up in rough circle to reveal the dirt beneath. The ground was stained, soaked in blood, excrement and bile. For most of her very long span, Helena, queen of queens, would have been repulsed by such a foul location. Of late, her unlife had traveled down much less savory paths. She showed no reaction as she stepped into the circle, her red leather boots sinking into the muck with a soft sucking noise.
He moved from the shadows at the edge of the circle and Helena looked him over as he approached. The fine suit, swept-back silver hair, and regal face, lined with age, must have once belonged to someone who considered himself important, respected, secure. This poise was belied by the alien yellow eyes betraying the presence of the demon inhabiting the decaying mortal husk.
"Helena. My humble home has never been graced by someone so
magnificent, nor one so welcome. Even the legends of your beauty do
not do justice to the reality of it. This is truly an honor." His
voice was somehow both hoarse and unctuous.
"Metathiax...."
The demon raised a clawed nail to her lips, one eye closing in a lazy, grotesque wink. "Shhhh. Whenever that name is uttered, there's a little Inquisitor who pricks up her ears."
As his finger withdrew, Helena was rocked by a vision. She saw a pile of writhing bodies, animal and human, Kindred and kine. Atop the mound stood the Decani demon, working through the pile of flesh with a multitude of insect arms, its face inhuman and monstrous. The screams lingered in Helena's ears even after the vision faded. She was shocked to her core by the brief glimpse of what lay behind the thing's genteel facade, and paused for a moment to regain her composure.
"The Fragment. I want it. You are going to bring it to me." Helena fixed the full weight of her gaze upon the demon, a gaze that had bent and broken Kindred and kine alike for the last several millennia. Metathiax's reaction was to blink once and run his tongue across his lips contemplatively.
The demon circled her slowly, whispering into her right ear, then her left. "Ah, yes. The Kaymakli Fragment. They know you're here and now they know what you want. They've hidden it, haven't they? Hidden it from you. But not from me. Nothing in this city is hidden from me. Of course, I will get it for you... for a price..."
"A price? Haven't I already paid my price?"
The demon smiled. "You have paid a price. You have offered a prize, a most wondrous prize. But not to me. What have you given me? Nothing. Yet. But fortune has smiled upon us both. After I perform this service for you, there is something you can do for me. There is a trifle for which you are uniquely qualified, a task that will have
inconsequential cost to you, but will be of immense value to me. There
is a curse, a spell, ancient bonds that trap me, hold me to this spot.
You can break them."
"I will get you the Fragment. You will see it with your eyes, hold it in your hands. From it, you will learn the truth, the truth about the father of your kind, and the Dark Mother as well. With it, you will teach this truth to others and draw them to your cause. And then, Helena, you will set me free."
**************************************
Rules
***********************************
Black Miracles and Lies is a constructed Storyline Tournament.
Except as noted in these instructions, the tournament will follow the
Standard Constructed Tournament format and current V:EKN rules.
There are no special deck or crypt restrictions for this event other than the normal Standard Constructed Tournament rules.
Each player will receive one Kaymakli Fragment promo-only card. This card is legal for this storyline event and players may include it in their decks.
Kaymakli Fragment
Unique equipment.
This Sabbat vampire may allow you to draw 5 cards from your library as
an action (discard afterward). This infernal minion may move 3 blood
from the bank to a vampire in your uncontrolled region as a +1 stealth
action. Any minion may steal this equipment as a strike.
Each game will begin with a copy of Kaymakli Fragment, uncontrolled, in the middle of the table. While it is uncontrolled, any minion may
equip this card as an undirected action. If the center copy of Kaymakli Fragment is burned, remove it from the game.
A Camarilla vampire with the Kaymakli Fragment may burn it to gain 3 pool as an action.
Each game begins with central, shared crypt of 6 vampires. These
vampires are custom-designed for this event, not legal for play
outside this event, and may be controlled by any Methuselah. These
vampires do not have group numbers and can be played with vampires
from any groups. While they are uncontrolled, any Methuselah may look
at these vampires at any time.
There are a number of vampires that are easily swayed to take part
in the events of "Black Miracles and Lies". At the end of your
influence phase, any of these vampires may be moved from your
uncontrolled region to your ready region if they have blood counters

These vampires are:
Any infernal vampire

following:
Go through the Shared Crypt to find a vampire. Show it to all players
and place it in your uncontrolled region.
Go through your crypt to find a vampire from the Invitation List. Show

Hey guys, I was just wondering whether there is a VTES scene in Berlin (good ol' Germany) or its surroundings. I have recently moved from Sydney to Potsdam and I only started to get into the game a couple of months before my move. I would really like to learn more and practice. Alas, I've been unable to make contact with anyone as yet.

[07 May 2008|03:08am] |
This is the Ishtarri sneak and bleed that I played at the Great Lakes Qualifier tournament. It performed well enough to make it to the finals, where it was sadly locked down via tiny cap dominate bleeders and Brainwashing. There are three primary focuses of this deck, bleed tech, stealth tech, and untap tech. A good portion of the library is also devoted to blood efficiency/production since many of the minion cards cost at least 1 blood.
I know that there is an apparent imbalance in the number of actions to equip/recruit, but this is the advantage of the Ishtarri - since they have several ways to untap, one vampire can act several times each turn, allowing them to equip with a bleed/stealth mod then untap and use it immediately. This is why the deck starts so fast, and why it stays fast. Unlike most heavy bleed decks I've seen this deck stacks bleed mods that remain on the vampire, allowing big bleeds every turn.
This deck can bleed insanely quickly, and is very flexible as far as surviving unpleasant interactions with its prey. However, the deck has little to no defense. The single most important goal of the deck is forward momentum, based on the theory that if you can bleed out your prey faster than your predator can bleed you out then all you have to do is repeat that process a few times to take a table. Yes, it sounds silly, but it has accomplished this task fairly well in several games. Oddly enough the complete lack of defense has occasionally been a positive, as many sneak and bleeds choke on stealth if there is no attempt at defense. The combination of powerful offense and brittle defense is why I call it a glass cannon.
( Deck list and explanations )
If you have questions or comments I would love to hear them, although I am in the process of tearing apart and rebuilding the deck with a slightly different focus.

| Black Hand Wall |
[06 May 2008|11:45am] |
Hi, there, dear Methuselae.
I have an idea of creating a BH wall deck.
AUS is a natural requirement for intercept and I also want to use it for Psychic Assault, so crypt should be made of vampires that meet both of those requirements, or at least have AUS... as becoming BH is a bit easier then acquiring superior Auspex.
I'm not sure if Psychic Assault should be my only strike. I'm thinking about including some Magnums, or something like that... Dunno.
I don't think I'll need a star vampire for this kind of deck, but anything is possible.
A friend of mine has told me that the sole purpose of wall deck should be defending the Smiling Jack, but the idea was to use more of BH goodies, so maybe you would have some other interesting ideas to share with me...
Anyways... To sum everything up - main idea is "Black Hand Wall". Anything else will be taken into consideration.
Any ideas? :)

| Dracula: A Rock Opera in NJ! |
[25 Apr 2008|12:03am] |
High Tech High School Musical Theater Department presents
DRACULA: A ROCK OPERA
We are very excited to be presenting a new musical based on the chilling Bram Stoker classic. This would be our 8th spring musical and the students are so excited to be putting it together in the last 7 months. Much rehearsal and planning has been underway with choreography, sets, costumes, lighting and good ol’ stage magic that will hopefully awe the audiences in a re-telling of the Bram Stoker classic.
This is director Alex Perez’s 9th year as director of the musical theater program.
“after 18 productions, stints Off-Broadway and overseas, you would think it would get easy. But every year is a brand new challenge with brand new students and the job only gets more exciting and there are always challenges that come our way.” “ People love to compare shows, but I see them as separate entities, a tattoo if you will, separate chapters and of course, we always choose material that is different and sets us apart from the normal high school musical choices.”
The students this year have been so focused and so commanding, that audiences truly need to see their work. This is why we are excited to add an extra weekend for the first time ever. Another first is that all the music is set to classic rock of the 70’s thru now..so it gives a little bit of something for everyone. And of course, another first is that we are doing a dramatic passionate love story. There is quite a lot of romance on stage and the students are truly working hard to make the love relationships involved captivating. Practicing kissing scenes and hunger for blood needs to be right, otherwise Dracula will not be believable. The students are willing and ready to make it happen.
DRACULA: A Rock Opera is also music directed by Rod Shepard with an all-student band that is stronger than ever. The HTHS Music Theater Dept. has been involved in the Papermill Rising Star Award Program for excellence in High School Musical Theater. In 6 years, they have been nominated 15 times and won 10 awards including Best Direction, Lead Actor and Actress, Lobby, Costumes, Hair and Makeup and Production all for different productions throughout the years. Recently they performed in Scotland over the past summer.

| 2 decks for picking apart |
[16 Apr 2008|01:16am] |
First off, thanks for the replies a few weeks ago RE tournament strategy. After a few weeks of tweaking some existing decks and thought, I think I have it down to 2 of my current decks or a mythical 3rd deck that I've yet to build that's not quite so defensive. For now, though, I thought I'd put the current incarnations of the Imbued and the Ahrimanes up for critique.
I've gone to great length to find a balance with the imbued to keep them effective but strip out nearly everything in there that threatened the entire table. In fact, the only thing left in there that effects more then just predator and prey at this point is Millicent. The wall/combat still seems to work well though, and my thoughts are that they may fare better since they won't immediately scare the entire table into ganging up on me (quite as much at least..)
The Ahrimanes have been good to me so far, although the last time they saw action was probably the most annoying prey I've ever played with them. After getting 3 of my vamps up, tremere in front of me and Guruhi behind me, I dropped the fame-bomb on my prey's Smudge the Ignored and proceeded to not ignore him only to have the tremere wall o' auspex stop every single one of my rush attempts. Smudge was, in fact, ignored the entire game although his ready region was looking pretty lonely by the end :)
( 2 deck lists under cut )
