The Vampire: The Eternal Struggle 25th Anniversary set is coming up, and with that this new, changed Pentex Subversion with art by Riccardo Fabiani.
The complete content list of this product and information about the other changes can be found at the announcement page.
The official release date of 25th Anniversary is August 16 2019, which means the card changes introduced in the set will be legal for tournament play on September 15 2019.
First Blood is a collection of five 55-card preconstructed decks for introductory games of Vampire: The Eternal Struggle. These decks are simpler than tournament level decks, but showcase all the basic mechanics of the game. They are balanced, for a fun and exciting first try of Vampire: The Eternal Struggle. They are fully functional cards, ready to mix with cards from other sets.
To make Vampire: The Eternal Struggle more accessible to new players, Black Chantry will make these introductory decks available to retailers at a reduced price compared to our other products.
Contents of the decks:
– First Blood: Malkavian
– First Blood: Nosferatu
– First Blood: Toreador
– First Blood: Tremere
– First Blood: Ventrue
First Blood will be available in September 2019.
This card is illustrated with the recovered 1990´s artwork by legendary Vampire: The Eternal Struggle artist Edward Beard, Jr (Giant´s Blood, Pulled Fangs, Telepathic Misdirection, etc.) The art was originally to be used in 1995 set Dark Sovereigns.
In the World of Darkness, Grimgroth is a very powerful Tremere vampire, embraced into unlife by the clan founder himself sometime during the 11th century. He replaced the rogue Goratrix as a member of the Tremere Inner Council, responsible for Western Europe.
Grimgroth appears in the 25th Anniversary set which will be available for purchase in mid August (exact date still to be determined).
Black Chantry Productions has produced a special promo card for the European Championship in Paris. Jacques Rouge will be awarded to all tournament participants. The card, with fantastic artwork by Carmen Cornet, will also be included in a later Vampire: The Eternal Struggle product.
