What issue #?
Thanks,

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Are you saying that those 2 clans
are overpowered and don't need new cards?
If you're suggesting that this is so for the Ventrue, I'm pretty much
with you. The !Ventrue on the other hand are quite a different story,
since they have a different discipline spread and lack access to many
of the sect and clan cards that make the Ventrue good.
In any case, I doubt that this promo vampire is any kind of freebie or
extra for the clan. It's probably just a preview of one that will be
released in Sword of Caine.
pretty much agree. !ven really do have stealth issues. and pre/for give
such a wonderful untapping team of Majesty and Freak Drive that just
cannot really be duplicated by !ven. and i find obtenebration far more
sane, and thematic, way of giving some stealth to them. it costs more
than obf at least; which says a lot on how sick Ven with obfuscate
really are. i don't find this vampire unnecessary. rather it seems just
right -- and the special does kind of encourage intra-sect violence. i'd
be amused whether Cardinal Sin: Insubordination makes an appearance in
intercepty !ven decks just to knock out your prey's sabbat minions.

Jesus. Now WW has gone from bad Photoshop-art to unmodified photos (or
is that a Photoshop-applied tatoo I see?). I guess that is kind of LSJs
cousins hounds roommates brothers girlfriend or something. Am I right?
Come on, you're not being nice ! There is obviously a photoshop filter here.
That should atek at least 30 seconds to choose and apply, so you see, there
is work after all...

You obviously don't understand ART. The real work is *choosing* the
picture. It requires artistic vein to do. Plus, you need a digital
camera and a licenced copy of Photoshop to achieve these kinds of
illustrations. That increases the costs (and obviously the value of
the piece of art as well). I suspect you also need to be on good
terms with whoever is responsible for art procurement, which may (or
may not) carry extra costs (and add extra value).

The art looks like it's a self-portrait.

A lot of folks would claim, the !Ventrue could use the help (although
I'm probably not one of them :-)
As a regular Ventrue, she is pretty poor, what with, uh, AUS, dom, for,
obt. The Ventrue can probably do better than pay 6 for a vampire with
dom, for...

What's the official release date for Kestrelle?
Thx,
Pat
Well, it's in the March issue, so January 1, 2007, of course.

I bought my copy of the mag on Dec 30, 2006, so it's perfectly logical to
me. :)

March issue in December ? Who played with Temporis again ?!
The picture of the card shows that Kestrelle Hayes is group 4, as
reflected in the text Pat gives.
But in the card list on the WW web site, it states group 5, see here:
http://www.white-wolf.com/vtes/index.php?line=Cardlist_K#Kestrelle_Hayes
Which is correct (i.e., is "group 5" an errata)?
Hardy Range
Prince of Bochum, Germany
She's printed as group 5 in the SoC boosters, so might as well get used to the
idea now (with errata to the promo printing).
The only possible explanation for this error is that I changed her group during
the SoC playtest while lapsing on the memory of her having been printed earlier
as a promo. My sincere regrets for the error.
