Tzimisce Characters of Note from the Clan Novels Series.
--------------------------------------------------------
If you haven't read the Clan Novel series yet, here's a list of
Tzimisce characters I've been able to scavenge off the net. Vykos and
the Little Tailor will be included in the Sabbat War expansion
according to the White Wolf web site - Vykos will appear as a magazine-
inserted promo card.
*Sascha Vykos is an Old School terror with a Progressive plot. Vykos
set out to rally the fractious Sabbat forces of North America in an
assault upon their Camarilla rivals primarily in the southeast, then
moved north. Sascha has been both a Priscus and Archbishop.
*The Little Tailor of Prague (a.k.a. The Butcher of Prague) is an
antique warghoulist with a mean streak.
Check out the Little Tailor preview:
http://www.white-wolf.com/vtes/Checklist_SabbatWar.html
Caldwell is a Tzimisce war councilor and a fiercely independent and
outspoken captain of the Nomad Coalition.
Madame Paula is Tzimisce war councilor and sorceress. She's Old School.
Gregario is a Tzimisce war councilor. The unsettling albino is a leader
in a Nomad Coalition.
Bolon is the leader of the warghoul companies. Bolon is also ruthless
and ambitious leader.
Marcus is a warpack leader. This brawler's nomad pack serves as an
advance patrol in the attack upon the High Museum.
Delona and Delora, these spider-like acrobats are inseparable and have
the brain capacity of four drunken cats.
Jorge (a.k.a. "Fingers") has nifty tentacle-like fingers.
Elford is a laborer in the makeshift Atlanta Ghoulworks.
William leads the excavation efforts at the third enclave, searching
for occult secrets that will aid him in his quest to transcend the
limitations of the flesh.
The Green Man is the night watchman.

The Contest
-----------
Well I was going to run a contest to see who could correctly guess all
the information on the upcoming Sascha Vykos promo card, but that

magazine. So since the newsletter has been away for so long here's a
contest to kick things back into gear.

all correct entries. The winner will be notified via email no latter
than Oct. 31st 2000 to make arrangements for shipping the prize. Only
one entry per person please.
Grand Prize:
-
One official Warghoul.com T-shirt.
The Questions:
-

October Newsletter Bonus: Sascha Vykos
--------------------------------------
Thanks to some timely panhandling with White Wolf Publishing and the
gods that be, I’ve been able to procure a copy of the soon to be
release promo Sascha Vykos. If you haven’t seen the French
magazine ‘Lotus Noir’ here’s your chance to see what the magazine had
to offer. So hold on to your bladder kids as yet another Xmas gift
arrives early.
Special Note:
Steve Wieck at White Wolf says, and I quote, "they do not have time to
provide card images for every clan newsletter and this is a one-time
only special, so please don't even ask White Wolf for images."
Also, note the image is a pre-production version of Vykos, so font
alignment, size, etc. may not be correct according to my sources.

This deck looks fairly similar to a deck I used in this past weekend's
tournament. It made it to the finals. I'll post it within the next
few days.

Deck name: Eat 'em and Smile
Created by: Patrick Harris
Description: Basically you try to block every action your prey takes.
The Eagle's Sight helps there, as well as allowing you to block any
cross-table actions that could be detrimental. Majesty can be a
problem, but if you get the War Ghouls out you can run a Majesty deck
down. Throw out a few prey-irritants like Army of Rats and
Revelations, then block when/if your prey decides to do anything about
it.
