News from September 2003
Dragon Con Wrap-Up
September 2nd, 2003 -
Improvised Tactics
Friday night tried out my Tzimisce Lobotomizing War Ghoul deck. First round in the evening I had a lobotomized war ghoul with a .44 magnum always fun. Second round couldn't get a war ghoul to save my life thanks to Ben Peal. 0 vp day but always fun scaring people with SC:E Tzimisce. :D
Dragons' Breath
Saturday tried out the Tzimisce and friends VIC/AUS/PRE Bleed/Vote/Bounce fought hard considering most tables had 20+ votes on the them. Never did get the deck out of second gear. 0 VP
Toy Chest Test
Sunday Morning after a stirring game of PokeballZmon I signed up for the tourney opting to randomly sort my Samedi Do Zombie Stuff deck into three piles. Managed to garner 2 vps and no prizes. The format was a lot of fun. I think spending too much time devising a strategy for your piles is overrated. :D
Thanks again for the sleeves Norm.
Galaric's Legacy
Sunday night tried out ye old Blood Brothers. Seems like I kept bringing the knife to a gun fight all con. I drew into 2 rush actions in 2 rounds. Very poor showing for the Torrance Circle.
Irregular Protocol
Monday again I tried the VIC/AUS/PRE Bleed/Vote/Bounce managed to get into the finals along with another Tzimisce deck. I had gained 1vp in two table timeouts and won a roll off. Strong deck I tells ya. Final round was tight thanks to First Tradition. Down to two pool left, the Rose made a play to gain me a VP in the finals yet oust me in the process, but it was blocked by that damned !Torrie, Greta, under Ben Peal's control. DOH! To add insult to injury Leandro ousted me via a Telepathically Misdirected bleed.
Overall another great con. Noticeable absence of the Austin boys, but a lot of practical field tests for two varient style Tzimisce decks none-the-less.
New Wallpaper
September 3rd, 2003 -
Added a new Tzimisce Clan wallpaper. Look for more to come in the wallpaper sections in the week to come. I'm feeling rather creative this week for some odd reason.
Restarting work on the missing Bloodlines clans. Since they marked the end of the old card format, they will be top priority.
Children of Haqim Bounty Offered on Lambach
September 5th, 2003 - Due to numerous recent credible intelligence reports that claim the infamous Lambach is rapidly raising an army of his own fiends, the elders of the Children of Haqim along with other nameless "investors" have placed a sizable bounty on the destruction of this growing threat.
The rest of the rhetoric can be found here. . .
"Ha." - Lambach
Special Dragon*Con Photo Recon
September 8th, 2003 -V:TES Designer L. Scott Johnson learning Pokemon between rounds.
Should we expect to see more coin flipping mechanisms in the new sets? or perhaps the Jigglybleed?

Storyline Mid-Month
September 16th, 2003* - Late reports are in and it appears the Tzimisce, led by Lambach, managed to take over Newark, Ohio [It's a start]. It seems everyone has their eye on the prize this year. Early reports favor the Malkavians.
Two more weekends of storylines left.
*Update to earlier news.
Aura Reading
September 17th, 2003 - "Ok, so I lied when I said that I was done playing Tzimisce after playing them four straight days at Origins this year. I really wanted to put Velya, The Flayer to use, and I wanted to do the standard Tzim. block thing using Eternal Vigilance. Here is what I came up with." - Jay Kristoff
