Vampire: the Eternal Struggle in the Dark Ages, expansion set idea.

More Tzmisces! Opinions?




Name: Dominik, Fiendish Messenger
Cardtype: Vampire
Clan: Tzimisce
Level: Basic
Group: DA
Capacity: 3
Discipline: aus cel

Domain of Byzantium. When Dominik enters play, you may burn 3 blood from him and he gains inferior potence. If Dominik diablerizes an older vampire, he gains superior celerity, if possible.

Art notes: Feral, animal-like Cainite with an indeterminate age. Obviously of a martial bent, large muscles, face definitely inhuman, like of some other predatory beast. Dried blood all over him and his clothes, which are frayed and tattered.

World of Darkness reference: Bitter Crusade, p. 89

How does this card address a compelling game need?: A lowcap Tzimisce with a combat-inclined specials, perhaps would do good in an intercepty deck.

Name: Radu, Prince of Bistritz
Cardtype: Vampire
Clan: Tzimisce
Level: Basic
Group: DA
Capacity: 7
Discipline: ani AUS DOM pre vic

Domain of Transylvania. +1 vote. Ventrue and Tzimisce must pay 1 extra blood to target Radu with actions.

Art notes: Deceptionally weak, almost foppish, mid-30's man with blond hair and blue eyes. Fine clothes of the nobility, standing in a castle, looking down on his domain. Aura of politeness, yet with a hidden strength.

World of Darkness reference: Transylvania by Night, p. 115-116

How does this card address a compelling game need?: A midcap Tzimisce for the vote decks, with a smattering of non-clan disciplines.

Name: Darvag Grozny, the Terrible; Butcher of Rus
Cardtype: Vampire
Clan: Tzimisce
Level: Basic
Group: DA
Capacity: 7
Discipline: ANI aus pot pro VIC

Domain of Transylvania. +1 vote. If Darvag is ready and would be burned, he goes to torpor instead. If Darvag is in torpor, he gains 1 blood during your untap phase.

Art notes: Late 20's male, medium height, broad chest, well-built arms and legs. Greasy, light-brown shoulder-length hair, slightly darker beard with a red tint. The face is pulled impossibly upwards on one side, as if in a snarl, whereas the other side hangs loosely, as if from suffering from a stroke. Fur cloak, hat, and tunic and trousers of a huntsman.

World of Darkness reference: Transylvania by Night, p. 120-121

How does this card address a compelling game need?: Some more midcap Tzimisces, this with a bit bizarre special, yet in line with the books

Name: Voivode Koban, Fiend Among Fiends
Cardtype: Vampire
Clan: Tzimisce
Level: Basic
Group: DA
Capacity: 8
Discipline: ani AUS FOR THA VIC

Domain of Transylvania. Koldunist. Koban may burn 2 blood during any player's untap phase to search your library for a card that requires a Koldunist. Discard down to your hand size afterwards. During a political action, Koban may burn 1 blood to get 1 vote.

Art notes: Clearing in a forest or a ritual room in a castle. A thin man, almost with no hair, tall and lanky, the eyes, nostrils and mouth all covered with intact skin. Facial features blurred, but on the forehead, there's a large horizontal crease, almost like an eyelid covering a single gigantic eye. Koldunist magical symbols can be seen in the background.

World of Darkness reference: Bitter Crusade, p. 91

How does this card address a compelling game need?: A fiendish tutor, if you please, and a Koldunist to boot. Aus+dom / AUS was a tough choice, but I went with AUS to get 2 in-clan disciplines at superior. Vote burn special to increase utility in decks Thaumaturgical.

I'll be back!

Hehee, I am still tinkering around this idea, just to let you know. Been a while since my last post, work is hard! Give me a holler if you think I should continue posting!

Holy thread necromancy, Batman!

I don't know why you felt the need to dig up this thread, but I just say that dark ages expansion would be a perfect place to introduce an advanced version of Matasuntha, since she is from VtM:DA books.
