Same card, different name: Puppet Master

Puppet Master VTES Brian LeBlanc

The card Puppet Master appears in the upcoming Vampire: The Eternal Struggle Fifth Edition Lasombra preconstructed deck. This is to be considered as the same card as the previously printed card Mind Rape. The old card is still legal for tournament play.

Happy birthday Vampire: The Eternal Struggle!

Happy birthday, best game in the world! 30 YEARS OF VAMPIRE: THE ETERNAL STRUGGLE! The original base set was published by Wizards of the Coast on August 16, 1994. The design was by Richard Garfield, in collaboration with White Wolf, the company behind Vampire: The Masquerade, the role-playing game which the card game is based on. These games are set in the World of Darkness, a somewhat gothic horror reflection of our own world.

The base set had a massive 437 different cards, available in both thin booster packs and thicker starter packs, both randomised. It featured seven vampire clans of the Camarilla sect – Brujah, Gangrel, Malkavian, Nosferatu, Toreador, Tremere, and Ventrue – as well as the clanless Caitiff.

Many of the cards that are among the most commonly played cards even today are from this set, like Govern the Unaligned, Telepathic Misdirection and Kine Resources Contested.

Today, Vampire: The Eternal Struggle is produced by Black Chantry Productions (www.blackchantry.com), on license from Paradox Interactive. We are proud to keep this fantastic game un-dead!
