Dark Ascension

2012-01-31T04:21:00.000-08:00

I played last saturday the dark ascension tournament. I won 4 of the 7 games with a red/white/green deck. 50 people were there, and at least 25 were good people. The other 25 were freaks, the kind of freak you don´t wont to see ever.But I had a good time. I recomend to all the people who like Magic to play, at least once, a draft tournament.

Vampire MOORPG: Concept Art

2010-12-02T05:33:00.000-08:00

Those artworks are all I´ve founded in internet:

Freak Combo

2010-11-18T02:59:00.000-08:00

Hunt 4 and untap at the end of your turn with 2 cards.

First make your favourite vampire anarch.
Then play Abactor on him or her.
I asume that the vampire will burn in the blood hunt referendum. Then you play this:

Lay Low
Requires an anarch.
Only usable when a blood hunt referendum passes and would burn this anarch. Move this anarch to the uncontrolled region (breaking any temporary control effects). Any cards and counters on this vampire remain with him or her (but are out of play as long as the vampire remains uncontrolled).

So at the end of the turn, if he or she is full of blood, he or she enters play full of blood at the minimal cost of 1 pool. This only works if the vampire are near fulled.
This combo is an alternative for hunt+freak drive. I hate it. Freak drive cost 5 Euros, please don´t use it like that xD

Permadeath considered for World of Darkness MMO

2010-10-07T03:18:00.000-07:00

I really recomend visiting Justin´s Site and read all the concepts they are working around. Really interesting.

This new comes from "massively.com":

CCP unveiled the World of Darkness MMO at The Grand Masquerade earlier this week where Justin Achilli hosted a well-attended panel for World of Darkness fans. The goal was to hear from those looking forward to the MMO and get a feel for what they want to see.

Attendees talked about some of the standard elements such as immersion and casual vs. hardcore, but there was a surprising suggestion thrown out as well: permadeath. Justin's notes from the panel read "Permadeath. Server type preference?"

Permadeath is an interesting concept -- even more so in a game centered around immortal beings -- and Ardwulf took a long look at it in his newest post on Ardwulf's Lair. Want to weigh in on permadeath in WoD or see the rest of what was discussed? Check out the full list of panel notes on Justin's site.

Another point of view of the WoD MMO Trailer

World of Darkness confirmed, based on Vampire: The Masquerade

2010-09-25T04:49:00.000-07:00

That´s a awesome new! I will be watching for news every day.

From massively.com:

""Some secrets are best taken to the grave..." While it wasn't that closely guarded, we were waiting on the edge of our seats to hear the official word of CCP's World of Darkness this weekend. At The Grand Masquerade convention in New Orleans, the developers not only confirmed the project, but revealed that it is set in White Wolf's Vampire: The Masquerade setting. Vampire: The Masquerade was indeed the old World of Darkness RPG, so this MMO should send fans into paroxysms of joy.

Ardwulf's Lair reports that the MMO will come out in 2012 at the earliest, and that it "will have a focus on player politics and social interaction." The two-minute video reveal sets a gothic tone as a woman narrates the secret world of the vampires: "They're all around us, they control everything, they've always been here, waging their secret wars, devouring everything that gets in their way... It all begins after you die."

We'll bring you more details as they pour in, but in the meanwhile, check out the video reveal (NSFW, this is World of Darkness after all) after the break."

The Grand Masquerade Event: Induction Party?

2010-09-24T01:00:00.000-07:00

I´ve founded this video in youtube and I don´t know if it´s true. Let´s see...

My Vampire: The Masquerade character

2010-09-22T06:22:00.001-07:00

This is my character in Vampire: the Masquerade rol game. His name is Barry (one of the friends of the child of American Dad´s serial) and Punset (because he is really clever like a famous spanish host TV).
He is a 8º generation fat Tremere, that loves new technologies and steal blood as a ranged strike. He and the Ventrues of the city don´t have a good relationship, because of that he has that bad ability.

The Grand Masquerade Event: September 23-26

2010-09-21T08:30:00.000-07:00

this week, CCP is going to show us some of the content of WoD:Online.
I read this new in http://www.massively.com.

"We've been biting our nails waiting for CCP to fully unwrap its promised World of Darkness MMO, but so far the company is playing its dark cards close to the chest. However, if you happen to be in New Orleans later this month, you may be among the first to pry substantial information from the slavering jaws of the developers.

Last month, CCP community developer Shane DeFreest strongly hinted that the upcoming White Wolf convention, The Grand Masquerade, would be the company's first big step to show the game to the anxious public. The convention website has since posted a list of event panels for the weekend, which includes a session entitled "Tell the World of Darkness Development team what you want to see in the MMO" as well as several other MMO-specific panels.

The Grand Masquerade will run from September 23-26, 2010, at the Roosevelt Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New Orleans. As the future of the World of Darkness is revealed, Massively will be sure to bring you the news. Just... not until we make our own dark pacts first."

VTES HA MUERTO

2010-09-12T04:38:00.000-07:00

Siento mucho oir esto, pero es algo que se veía venir desde el anuncio de Requiem. Yo no sabía que la licencia iba a terminar este año, pero en cuanto me enteré supe que no querrían renovarla ya que no tiene sentido gastar esfuerzos en promocionar un juego de rol que ya no existe (Vampiro: la mascarada) y que es el que más daño está haciendo a Requiem. Hay un enorme número de jugadores del antiguo vampiro que no quieren renovarse y CCP no quiere encima darles alas con nuevas ediciones de un juego de cartas ambientado en él. Como empresa, lo veo una decisión aceptable. Lo que si me molesta es la falta total de atención por parte de la distribuidora y el mal trato a los consumidores de Vtes por parte de White Wolf año tras año.
Yo vería probable que sacaran un juego de cartas ambientado en requiem, ya que es la línea empresarial que van a seguir los próximos años. Rol y el próximo MMORPG, con el que esperan sacar muchísimo más dinero que con EvE Online.
Si el éxito de este juego se valorase por la implicación de la distribuidora, habría muerto hace años. Pero los jugadores están muy comprometidos con el juego. No veo necesarias nuevas ampliaciones, ya que en 10 años no han cambiado un ápice las mecánicas de victoria en Vtes. Bleed, política, blocker y combate. Por mi parte voy a jugar lo mismo saquen nuevas expansiones o no. Un abrazo.

"I am the senior producer for the World of Darkness MMO that we are working on. Thanks. Glad you guys are excited about it. But I'm not going to talk about that today, unfortunately. I know it's a horrible tease, right? But the fact is, before we talk about the World of Darkness MMO, we want it to be right, and we're spending millions of dollars getting it right and we want to make sure that when we are ready to show it, we are ready to show it. And the one thing I can tell you is that we absolutely will be taking the attitude of a company like Blizzard – without making World of Warcraft with fangs- but we won't do this until is right, we won't release it until it's right." (0:22)
"(...) that's Reynir Harðarson, he is our creative director on Vampire... and... sorry, excuse me, the World of Darkness MMO." (5:28)
"(...) and I still feel passionately about storytelling, I still feel passionately about the whole World of Darkness setting, and that is going to carry through to the community that we want to build, because people are building this relationships online and in real life like this, and we want to find a way to make sure that all those things coexist in a way that makes everybody feel comfortable and everybody feel a part of the process and focuses on storytelling and quality, and that's what we're going to do."

WoW, Magic y Vtes Vs WoW Raid Decks

2010-04-26T13:38:00.000-07:00

Nose si conocéis los raid decks del WoW... He hablado varias veces de ellos en mi blog. Son mazos tuneados que juega un jugador y 3 o mas jugadores se enfrentan a él con pocas opciones de éxito, lo que lo hace un desafío. En un juego de cartas del palo 1vs1, tener este tipo de alternativas es algo refrescante.

El caso es que la moda de jugar al WoW TCG en mi grupo de amigos ha pasado y otros hobbies están comiéndole terreno, con lo que no puedo jugar los mazos raid que tanto me gustan. Me he puesto a pensar en lo mucho que se parecen magic y wow y la idea llegó sola. Jugar los mazos raid contra mazos del wow o magic.
Así podría llevar los raid deck al pueblo (allí solo juegan magic) y que Onyxia desayune planeswalkers.

He estado pensado en reglas opcionales para aunar los dos sistemas y a la conclusión que he llegado es que según cada cual juegue magic o wow se le aplicarán las reglas de sus respectivos juegos. Por lo que la dificultad de mezclarlos en mínima.
Las vidas de los jugadores serán 30 en el caso de que juegue magic y las que tenga el héroe si es de wow. En el caso de magic si el daño no es letal se curaría, en wow se acumula.

Se podría meter también en esta loca mezcla Vampiro? Lo veo complicado, por el sistema de combate y sigilo/intercept. Una solucion sería jugar sin modificadores ni reacciones. O que el máximo de sigilo/intercept que pueda conseguir un minion sea 1, que sería el equivalente de vuelo en magic.

La próxima vez que vaya pienso probarlo, ya os contaré.

New WoW TCG Set: Wrathgate

2010-04-16T04:24:00.000-07:00

Cryptozoic Entertainment Announces Release Date for Wrathgate!

Cryptozoic supports hobby stores with exclusive promo card!

Irvine, CA - (April 12, 2010) – Cryptozoic Entertainment, home of the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game (TCG), is pleased to announce the worldwide release of the Wrathgate expansion on May 25, 2010. Wrathgate is the second of three sets in the Wrath of the Lich King block.

The 11th set in the World of Warcraft TCG, Wrathgate features 220 new cards straight from Northrend and the new Argent Crusade faction. Yes, players can recruit figures from Warcraft lore like Highlord Tirion Fordring for the battle against the Scourge. Also, players can use new Wrathgate crafting materials to forge brand new gear for their TCG heroes.

Each booster pack contains 19 game cards. As with previous sets, players have a chance to open one of three new Loot cards randomly inserted into Wrathgate booster packs. The codes on the Loot cards are redeemed for cosmetic upgrades to World of Warcraft® MMORPG characters. The loot cards in Wrathgate are Landro’s Gift, Statue Generator, and Blazing Hippogryph. The latter is another TCG exclusive mount—a flying hippogryph to set the skies on fire.

Additionally, hobby stores that order from an authorized Cryptozoic distributor can take part in the Buy-A-Box program. Players who purchase a Wrathgate booster box from participating hobby stores will receive an exclusive extended art Torch of Holy Fire just for supporting their local hobby store. Supplies are limited, so reserve yours today!

Quería sumarme a la defensa de los derechos fundamentales que como internautas tenemos y que, a mi modo de ver, vamos a perder paulatinamente a partir de ahora.
Os dejo un video que está colgado en Series Yonkis y me resultó bastante interesante.
A título personal opino que el gobierno la está cagando de forma salvaje. Como si la justicia estuviera tan ociosa que hay llenarla de casos contra la propiedad intelectual. Es de locos. Los esfuerzos deberían ir en reformar el sistema judicial. Luego preocúpate de la propiedad intelectual. Ni pies ni cabeza.

Punset es una persona que admiro profundamente. Y como persona mucho más instruida que yo, intento escucharle siempre que puedo. Aquí replica a la ministra de cultura:

WoW TCG has developer: Cryptozoic

2010-03-30T00:45:00.000-07:00

Copied from their blog site "cryptozoic.com":

This is the place where we will give you a glimpse behind the scenes of what goes on at Cryptozoic. We’ll cover everything from the latest happenings in R&D and Organized Play to fun stuff like contests, interviews with staff and players, and even features on some of the best hobby shops to play the World of Warcraft TCG at.

Now I’m sure you’re thinking, “well that’s all well and good, but we want information now! What’s taking so long?” So that’s what we’ll focus on today. Simply put, these things take time. There’s a lot to do to support a TCG and we do ask that you have a little patience and we promise you that when everything is said and done, we think you’re going to be pleased with the results.

So to keep you all in the loop, here’s a short list of some of our priorities over the next 60 days:

Finalize locations for the Continental Championships in North America and Europe. (That’s right! The EU is getting a Continental Championship!)
Get Battleground kits back on track in April. We are going to be putting a lot of focus on supporting hobby shops and this is just the first step!
Launch a brand spanking new web site for the World of Warcraft TCG.
Start to rebuild our support in Europe, China, Korea, Southeast Asia, and Australia. We know you guys are hurting. All we ask is that you give us some time.
Launch a new volunteer program to help promote and support the TCG.
Launch the Wrathgate Booster expansion. (Class decks will follow shortly after)
Finalize the design of a super top-secret new product.
Get a little sleep sometime in between all this.
Schedule Darkmoon Faires around the world.
Update this blog at least 3 times per week.
This list is certainly not all-inclusive but we wanted to give you a taste of what we have on our plate. There are literally hundreds of items on our “to do” list. Obviously we will be busy and we are sure many of you love this game just as much as we do and are thinking to yourselves “I wish I could help”. Well, you can.

Get out there and promote the game! Teach someone new how to play, talk to your game shop owner and run a Battlegrounds league for them, and most importantly have fun!

Epicly,
The Cryptozoic Staff

WHICH OF THE NEW INFERNAL "DISCIPLINES" DO YOU LIKE MORE?

2010-03-28T02:27:00.000-07:00

The "WHICH OF THE NEW INFERNAL "DISCIPLINES" DO YOU LIKE MORE?" poll has ended.
Here are the results:

Maleficia 24 Votes 50%
No one 14 Votes 29%
Striga 10 Votes 20%

I have curiosity, the people who has voted the "No one" option has voted that because:
1.- Those "disciplines" are useless
2.- Are overpowered
3.- Are too weak
4.- You don´t like infernal vampires at all

I voted maleficia. Because it has "evil eye", "barrenness" and "Psalm of the Damned", three powerfull cards that mix very well.

Diabolic Lure

2010-03-26T03:18:00.000-07:00

I love this card, and I´m gonna tell you why:

1.- The aus effect is really usefull.
2.- There are a lot of winnie decks in tournaments.
3.- You let other methuselah know how the baali feels
4.- Each block = 1 pool. I love it. Mix it with Condemnation: Doomed, and he will burn two pool each block.
5.- No cost

I don´t like this card, and I´m gonna tell you why:
1.- I don´t have any xD.

Freak Combo

2010-03-25T03:18:00.000-07:00

Put in play Nergal (normal version)
Put him 2 maleficia.
Stay untapped.
Play 1 Evil Eye each turn of each oppossing methuselah for free.
Let "The Beast" disarm+decapitate Nergal, you deserve it.

Crypt
5x Nergal

Library
40x Evil Eye
10x Maleficia

Enjoy the Evil.

Strix

2010-03-23T01:51:00.000-07:00

I love this card, and I´m gonna tell you why:

1.- +1 intercept
2.- You can play it with Bloodstorm of Chorazin and your infernal vampire untaps after the action.
3.- You have a strong defence against bleed decks.
4.- It has burn option
5.- You also have scobax, valerius ADV and sense the sin = infernal wall deck
6.- You enter combat with an acting minion without an action or blocking. You may play majesty and untap your vampires after this.

I don´t like this card, and I´m gonna tell you why:
1.- Cost 1 blood
2.- It´s rare
3.- it requires Striga, and only scobax mix well with this card.

Barrenness

2010-03-22T04:04:00.001-07:00

I love this card, and I´m gonna tell you why:

1.- It breaks Govern the Unaligned strategy. Or similar cards that send free pool to younger vampires.
2.- It makes vampires sterile. So they can´t create 1 cap vampires, and embrance it´s useless.
3.- LSJ created "The Horde" to play with them.
4.- Remove 2 blood points, as horseshoes. But this is much better because the vampires can´t fill themselfs another time.
5.- Burn 1 cap vampires.
6.- No cost.
7.- At inferior, it UNTAPS the infernal vampire.
8.- Scourge of the Enochians exists.
9.- You can play it to any Methuselah.
10.- +1 stealth action.
11.- You can´t remove them.
12.- It has burn option.

I don´t like this card, and I gonna tell you why:

1.- It´s rare.
2.- You need a lot of them to play a deck around this card.
3.- It´s useless against allies.

I stopped playing Aion at lvl 40

2010-03-19T02:09:00.000-07:00

I´ve changed the race of my Pj in Aion, and I choose an Assassin Elyos. I leveled to 40 and the game becomes really boring. So I´ll go back to WoW to play the Lich King expansion with my Warlock Manituan.

Cheap Decks III

2010-03-18T01:05:00.000-07:00

Last week I bought a giant deck, because I want a tribal deck with cheap rares and I don´t have any deck with big creatures.
If it doesn´t work I will put the giants in my hypergenesis deck.

Why are so expensive?

2010-03-16T03:35:00.000-07:00

I can´t do any competitive deck with maleficia and striga because the rares are so expensive and I need a lot of them to work. The same happens with Daughters and True Brujah. Why is this? If White Wolf creates new cards that are so important that the people need a lot of them to play, why do they sell them as rares? Only to earn money.

Aion, my new MMORPG

2010-03-03T02:53:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I installed this online game and I´ve enjoyed a lot. I did a woman asmodian templar (Aion´s tanks) and it´s like Avatar and you can also fly. I´m playing at infiniteaion private server. If anyone wants to play you can download it here. Greetings!

UDI leaves WoW TCG

2010-02-20T06:56:00.000-08:00

WoW TCG doesn´t have distributor at this time. It´s a shame.
UDI, Upper Deck International, has witten this:

"Over the past few months there has been much speculation about the future of the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game and Miniatures Game and due to ongoing discussions, we haven’t been able to provide any clear answers until now.
After long and careful deliberation, Upper Deck International (UDI) will not be renewing its World of Warcraft license agreements with Blizzard Entertainment. We’ve had a fantastic time working on the World of Warcraft brand and feel we have produced some of the most compelling TCG and Miniatures Game products since the turn of the century. Unfortunately, due to gradually declining sales over the past few years and the overall downturn in the economic climate, we have had to make the tough decision to discontinue our World of Warcraft product lines.
UDI World of Warcraft products will be available until the end of March. Upcoming products such as the Class Starter Deck, Wrathgate Booster, Souls of Vengeance Starter, Deluxe Starter and Booster will not go into production.
We know this is disappointing news for all World of Warcraft fans and want to thank players and retailers for their ongoing support over the years.
Being part of such a great and passionate community has truly been a privilege.
We are currently working with Blizzard Entertainment to facilitate a smooth transition as they work on their own plans for a World of Warcraft Trading Card Game.
Further announcements on this transition will follow over the coming weeks.
We will be pulling out all the stops to send off the UDI World of Warcraft lines in style. Look out for special events at your local gaming store with some of the greatest prize support ever and a final opportunity to complete your collection.

Category Manager Trading Card Games International Marketing & Community Manager

Blizzard has sayed:

"As some of you may already be aware, we will not be renewing the World of Warcraft: The Trading Card Game license with Upper Deck. We want to assure you that we are committed to supporting the TCG, and players can look forward to new content and strong organized play support in the near future. We will share additional details about the game’s transition to a new partner as soon as possible. For those awaiting tournament prizes, we will ensure you receive them."

White Wolf los tiene cuadraos...

2010-02-11T02:58:00.000-08:00

Manda huevos. Ha pasado una semana desde que salió la edición y no se han dignado a poner las cartas en su página oficial. En serio, esta gente trabaja?
5 meses de retraso y hay cartas que tienen errores de imprenta.
Eso si, están encantados de que hayan vendido todas las cajas de mazos que pusieron a la venta. Es indignante. Solo saben sacar la mano para coger el dinero. Las cartas están muy bien, los diseños de los mazos están muy bien. Pero vuelvo a decir que la lacra de este juego es la distribución. Cuando se van a dar cuenta y van a echar al quiera que se "encargue" de esto. Si es que hay alguien, que lo empiezo a dudar...

Lamentable.

At least we can see the final season of Lost, the 6th. You can download 6x01 here.

Greetings!

P.D. The release date is next week.

Please forgive me!!!

2010-01-30T16:12:00.000-08:00

I didn´t know that publishing spoilers before the release date was a crime. And I don´t know how 2 days (from now to 3th) will change anything. Anyway, I´m asking for redemption to White Wolf. Please forgive me!!

P.D. WW has lost their way. At this time they are not thinking in this card game, they are really busy working in a MMORPG with ccp or selling "top rated" role books. But anyway they take our money and we even don´t know what cards have the sets. It´s madness. They have had 5 months since september to put the spoilers in his web. The people were really anger with the delayings, and they thought: "We´re going to anger them more!"

Mission acomplish!

Review

To White Wolf

2010-01-22T02:50:00.000-08:00

If you´re not in agreement with White Wolf, send your complaints to this email "orgplay@white-wolf.com".

Buenos días. Con este mail quiero dejar constancia de mi malestar por la dejadez con la que están tratando la distribución de Vtes.
No puede ser que la nueva expansión salga el día 3 y hoy a día 22 no sepamos ni que van a traer los preconstruidos. Han retrasado la salida de la expansión desde septiembre y no les he oido ni una disculpa. Les da igual conseguir nuevos clientes?
Como consumidor no estoy nada contento y pienso decir el porqué.

Su página web es de risa y podía estar bien cuando empezó a distribuir este juego hace 10 años, pero ahora no. Necesita urgentemente un cambio.

Nose si es que no tienen ganas de ganar dinero o conseguir nuevos clientes, pero si promocionaran minimamente este juego venderían muchas mas cartas. No hay publicidad ninguna. Con lo que hay que verselas y desearselas para encontrar jugadores en la ciudad de uno. El resto de juegos de cartas coleccionables tienen un sistema de promoción que bien podían haber seguido ustedes. Las tiendas que se dedican a vender cartas, no venden Vtes. El juego es el mejor que hay ahora mismo, pero se lo están cargando con su sistema de distribución pasota y sin aspiraciones.

Dejen por favor de reeditar cartas inútiles edición tras edición. Nadie las usa, porqué siguen reeditándolas?

Hay artistas a los que dais trabajo y no tienen ningún talento. En deviantart hay miles de jóvenes artistas que estarían dispuestos a hacer los dibujos y además mucho mejor. Hay otros en cambio que están muy bien. No me quejo de todos, sólo de algúnos.

Me gustaría que hicieran una mini expansión de los Vampiros del Este o Kuei Jin. Esto a título personal. No es una queja.

En conclusión, el juego está bien, no tengo ningúna queja del sistema o de las reglas, simplemente que la distribución es pésima. Por favor, hagan algo por remediarlo o la gente se acabará cansando y dejarán de comprar nuevas cartas.

VTES Tournament ("Mi tesoro" , Madrid)

2010-01-17T08:26:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I was in Madrid playing a vtes tournament. 20 people.
"Mi tesoro" was the store where we played. I met good people in there. Thanks for the hospitality. Greetings!

I played with an akunanse deck. I haven´t bought anything of Ebony kingdom, so my deck was old date, but I broke some heads with it.
I thought that in this tournament there isn´t no much weapons, so I remove my drawings out the beast from the deck... OUCH! Guns, guns and more guns xD.

1 Table--->
-Weenees auspex
-Weenees guns
-Saulot/mata hari
-Me (no secrets of the magaji)
-Gangrel deck

1.5 Points

2 Table--->
-Me
-Mata hari block with zip guns (the funiest deck I saw there) with slaughterhouses.
-!Nosferatu combat
-Lasombra/Kyashid

0 points.

3 Table--->
-Toreador block guns
-Brujah guns
-Me (no drawing deck)
-Weenees guns

1 point

I have to left the tournament before the final begun, so I don´t know who won.
P.D. Thanks to Pablo for the Infernal Promo.

The Worldwake´s Spoilers have begun

With this 10 visual spoilers wizards of the coast have started to show us how this set will be. Worldwake is the second set in the zendikar block.
In several days all the set will be in the internet, not as White Wolf that show us the spoilers after they sell us the cards. I don´t understand this kind of merchandising, seriously.

Artist coment (rebelakemi):
"This is a CCG gaming card for White Wolf's "Heirs to the Blood". It's a vampire that can shoot flames from his palms. Michael Jackson had just passed away recently and I couldn't help feeling sad, so I painted a Young MJ (with a killer body.) I wasn't sure anyone would recognize him, but my co-worker spotted it right away. Needless to say...I LOOOVVVVEEEEEE Michael!"

Heirs to the Blood Artwork: Shaman Soul Studios

Two new artworks from Heirs of Blood.

Gift of Sleep
Description:

“A Salubri (vampire with a third eye) walking past a dozing security guard.
Salubri: The members of this Clan come from a wide variety of gender, race and age, although the Preachers and the Purifiers seem to prefer people from the Asian continent and the Middle-East.
Once the chosen Kine has been Embraced, however, they begin to develop the Clan’s third eye. While the eye is not always noticeable (when it is closed, only an eyeslit, which appears to be a small scar, can be seen), the third eye is extremely prominent when in use”.

Blood Tempering
Description:

”A dark-skinned vampire bleeding from a cut wrist onto a curved knife, perhaps a kukri or jambiya. The blood seems to be absorbed into the metal. ”

I have problems to see the cards in the whitewolf´s website, so I put the images here.
In the preview list there is a Baali (U2), named "The Horde" that I think is another non-unique vampire. But it´s really playable a non-unique infernal vampire? I hope so.
Matthew, one of the salubri, I think that is the son of Saulot, so perhaps he will be a 10 cap salubri.

That´s my view about annazir, one of the preview list baali vampires, that I did 2 years ago for the cardmaker contest2008 xD:

Guild wars 2

2º tournament of San Esteban de Nogales, Magic

2009-12-10T07:06:00.001-08:00

Last weekend was the 2º tournament of San Esteban de Nogales, my girlfriend´s village in Leon.

This year, I was the winner, at last. 10 players. 1vs1 and 2vs2 modes.

In 1vs1 mode, I won the final against a mono red deck.
Me (mono black rogue) vs Gelo (Mono red shock)

In 2vs2 mode, I was on the finals too, but we haven´t won it.
Roque (green counters) and Me (Hypergenesis) VS Toño (Elves) and Rubio (mono red)

My rogue deck cost only 16 euros and won decks from 20 to 100 euros. I´m very proud of it. Greetings.

Cheap Decks II

2009-10-19T01:20:00.000-07:00

A lot of new tribal creatures have come to magic. One of them are the vampires. Before zendikar, vampires are expensive creatures with no deck around them.
Actually, the vampires are in a lot of movies, books, serials and now Wizard of the Coast have created a low cost black creatures arround them. I´ve bought the cards in internet and my deck is something like that:

2x Guul Draz Vampire
4x Vampire Nighthawk
4x Gatekeeper of Malakir
4x Vampire Lacerator
2x Child of Night
4x Blood Seeker

4x Disfigure
4x Sign in Blood
4x Tendrils of Corruption
4x Vampire´s Bite
4x Vampiric Link

20x Swamp

It´s a 8 Euros deck. No rares, only vampires.

Naxxramas raid deck (WoW TCG)

2009-09-09T14:02:00.000-07:00

This Raid, in the card game, is going to release in 2010.

At the moment, I´m trying to get (in WoW)the Tier 7 in this Raid and it´s really hard.
This raid is the headquarters of the Scourge, and Kel'Thuzad rules there.

From a oficial source:

In response to player feedback, Upper Deck Entertainment will offer an additional SKU with its next raid deck release for the World of Warcraft TCG. In addition to the standard raid deck configuration, which contains the raid deck and a “treasure pack” of exclusive cards, Upper Deck will also offer the treasure pack separately, for players who don’t wish to buy multiple copies of the raid deck for a complete play set.

“One of the complaints that we got was that some of the tournament players wanted the treasure pack content, but they didn’t want to have to pay $30 repeatedly just to get that treasure pack,” Upper Deck’s Dan Bojanowski told ICv2. “So we’re offering the same value here [in the raid deck] but also a separate treasure pack for $9.99.”

The Naxxramas Raid Deck follows the same configuration as previous raid decks, with a large deck for the “boss” player, 15 oversized hero cards, rulebook, and treasure pack, for $29.99. The Naxramis Treasure Pack, identical to the treasure pack in the deck box, contains 15 random cards of a 30-card foil subset, one alternate-art hero in Naxxramas gear, and a loot card (from the Fields of Honor loot set) in one of 10 packs, for $9.99. The raid decks and treasure packs will arrive in stores November or December, probably after the Scourgewar expansion (see “World of Warcraft TCG: Scourgewar”).

Vampires in "Magic"

2009-09-09T13:32:00.000-07:00

"Wizards of the coast" knows that, and that´s why they´re making a lot of tribal vampires creatures for his next set of "Magic": "Zendikar"

Hi there, I´m back

2009-08-18T15:11:00.000-07:00

Hi. I´ve been too busy this month. The exams and the Ireland journey have taken all my time, and my relationship with vtes is a little bit smaller day by day.
Now, in Valladolid, we are only 3 people playing this awsome game. This sad me a lot. But I have to go on...

So, I have to apologize by doing promises I can´t accomplish. We´re not be able to make a storyline in our "great" city with only 3 people. So, until we could, I´m not going to make any storyline with the awsome Ashirra theme. It really hurts me, honestly. By the way, I will advice you when we could.

Making a break with all that "good" news, I have to tell you that I´m going to open a T-shirt online-Shop with my girldfriend. We´re going to deliver to all over the world, so I´m going to ask you some questions at the right side of the blog to answer some of my doubts. It´s my desire that vtes will have a great presence in my store, but I don´t know if it will works. So, please take a bit of your time answering the poll and I will thank you so much. Greetings.

Vampire in "The Movies"

2009-07-23T04:26:00.000-07:00

5 years ago, I did a film with "the movies" game. In 2007 I did the second part and I hosted in youtube. I lost the source, so it´s in spanish and I can´t change it.

The theme of the films is Vampire: the masquerade. It´s based in a story that my rol group played some time ago. My PJ is the tremere one, the asian guy.
If you understand a little spanish or if you want to see them, you can see them here:

Vampiro de biginin

Vampiro 2

Nergal, Stanislava or Maureen are some of the second characters of this films. Greetings.

In this set the Paladins have the best cards, although for me (I play warlock) there are some good cards too, like curse of weakness. Tomorrow I will publish the other part and the death knight starter. See you!

Magic 2010 Rules Changes

2009-06-13T16:15:00.000-07:00

Summary of changes:
1. All mulligans/reshuffles take place at the same time
2. Some new terminology, including "battlefield" for "in play" and "exile" for "remove from game"
3. Mana burn no longer exists
4. Token ownership clarified
5. COMBAT DAMAGE NO LONGER GOES ON THE STACK
6. Deathtouch and lifelink are now static abilities

Main article

For me, it´s for better. The combat stack is really confusing. But the people are a little bit anger with this changes...

Munchkin

2009-06-11T02:14:00.000-07:00

Munchkin is a new card game that I´m learning to play. It´s really funny to play with friends. People who don´t play CCG games like this too, because it´s easy. It´s like playing rol, without the boring part xD.
I´m going to change some rullings to play it with beer, it has a lot of possibilities.

Rullings

1 million players at the same time

2009-06-09T05:48:00.000-07:00

One of the CCP developers (they´re making World of Darkness Online) has sayed: "The goal for the new game is 1 million players".

This implies that CCP is planning on implementing a one-universe model for the WoD MMO instead of the more traditional multi-server world.

This could mean that many of the core principles of EVE will carry over into WoD, specifically:

1. Player-driven market
2. Rich player politics
3. Territorial entities

Nice...

New Raid Decks

2009-06-04T00:28:00.000-07:00

I bought 3 raid wow decks ($30 each one in shops) at 22 Euros (all) without the treasure booster in ebay.

Only for the illustrations is a good purchase, but in addition, it´s a really fun game. Black Temple (To kill Illidan), Molten Core (Ragnaros) and Magtheridon are the three raid decks.
We have killed several times Onyxia, and we need another challenge more difficult like molten core. The next week we´re going to kill Ragnaros without a Priest, I swear!
