A Message From the Editor:

Hello.

The Camarilla set has been out almost a month, GenConUK has been and gone, and I still need to sort out some new decks (managed 1 this w/e).

Life is good when you think about it. We are entering the newest phase of VTES play for sometime, with a few rules changes (yes, you can hunt and freakdrive multiple times, see below), and the return of some old faves (Rowan Ring and Monocle of Clarity) although all you Bards out there will still be stuck lusting after the old days.

As many of you haven't had the opportunity to play with the new set yet, that is why we are holding the sealed deck tourney, remember. One space has become available if any of you know a last minute player who would like the opportunity to play. Otherwise I shall and destroy you all, HAHAHAHAHAHA.

(OK, probably not. If I do play and happen to draw the deck you want to play though, I will trade with anyone.)

Other things happening at the moment. We still need new members for the Cambridge Games Club. Tell your friends, put up posters (see me), bring along games (Oh, you all do that already, OK). We will be taking a rest from VTES Tourneys for a coupl of months until the Storyline tourney, but if you want to find out what else is happening VTES tourney wise then check out my website, http://www.oocities.org/setitesuk.

I'll let you read the rest of the newsletter now. If anyone has any thoughts they would like to share on the Camarilla Edition, let me know, and I'll put it in the next 'letter.

May the night be yours!

Andy
