I read back there the following:

Can the acting vampire play a Cloak the Gathering to get +1 Stealth
and a second vampire play Cloak the Gathering (with Superior Obfuscate)
to give the acting vampire another +1 Stealth? Or is this forbidden
since it's the same card althought it's been played on different Vampires?

Thanx a lot!

The 1 card per action limit only applies to an individual vampire. This
is applicable even to Lost in Crowds, where a second vampire could play
Lost in Crowds on the same action after taking over the action with Mask
of 1000 Faces.

If a vampire with obfuscate takes an action, and there are 3 other ready
vampires with superior obfuscate, then it is concievable that all 4 could
play Cloak the Gathering for a total of +4 stealth. It doesn't even
matter if the other 3 are tapped or not, as CtG is not a reaction card.

The rule applies to a given minion individually, as stated.

You can have the acting vampire play (inferior) Cloak the Gathering
and play (superior) Cloak the Gathering with each of your other
Ready vampires.

Is this true, that a vampire doesn't have to be untapped to play the
superior version of Cloak the Gathering? Does this also apply to
Telepathic Counter, to reduce a bleed on you by a tapped vampire? The
only difference is TC is a reaction card, while CtG is an action
modifier. What's the ruling?

Or to play the inferior. It is true.

No. The rules clearly state that only untapped minions can play
reaction cards.

Action Modifiers can be (and usually are) played by tapped minions.
