Not a bad day of VTES.
After talking with Haig and Charlie about using my house as a gaming place yesterday afternoon, I readily accepted, it having been too long since I’d played a good game.
About 15 players made it. And it was a fun-filled afternoon of playing and trading VTES.
My Animalism weenie worked like a charm blasting through with the help of Anarch Revolt, both mine and Danz’. In the second game I used it, it knocked out Arthur before Menele could do damage, and I had too many minions out for Haig and Charlie to take care of. What was nice about the second game was that I didn’t need the Revolt (only one came out), and I didn’t need Danz’ assistance. So, my weenie deck is heading for sleevehood.
The City Gangrel remains clunky, as Ellen Fence controlled the predator, but got Sensory Dep’d by Martin’s Ivan Kreyenko. With Tatel coming out with Gehenna cards left and right, it became difficult to maneuver.
After the three games I played, my head started to swim a little, so I rested, and made some wonderful trades.
From Paul: 3 Immortal Grapples, 6 Tastes of Vitae, and the Hungry Coyote, for Call the Great Beast, Path of Evil Revelations, and Barbaro Luchese
From Troy: 4 Telepathic Misdirections, 2 Precognitions, 1 Anarch Revolt, and Cock Robin for 2nd Tradition, 4th Tradition, and Obedience
From Arthur: Zayyat, the Sandstorm for Count Germaine
Add that to the 5 Immortal Grapples, 2 Iron Glares, 2 Arms Dealers, 1 Psyche!, Jacko, Maxwell, and 1 Hand of Conrad I bought/traded from David the other day, it’s been a very productive two days of trading.
The last of the players left at about 10 pm, tired and happy at the end of the day.
Addendum: My sister just planed in from the US today, and she was able to get me a copy of the Game Trade magazine with the Echo card ... for free! Happy days!

Current concepts
I've been tinkering around with several concepts in my head the past few weeks.
1. Auspex weenie - Prince Toad used such a deck last year at a tourney, and it was scary. I've slowly been accumulating cards in order to build a fascimile of the deck he used, and I think I'm just a few Telepathic Misdirections away from completing it.
2. cel obf pot Combat - It occured to me that several vampire share these disciplines, and that I could use the Shadow Feint (I love this card) to great effect. One possible way to go is to Shadow Feint at superior (First Strike, undodgeable), Disguise a Flamethrower or some other painful weapon, and immediately torpor the opposing minion. Or, use the Shadow Feint to get my Potence strikes through. Key vampires for me would be Tayshawn Kearns, Antonio Veradas, Count Germaine, and Dr. Streck. And, checking the newsgroups, apparently one of the new vamps, Echo (Nosferatu), a 7-cap, has all three disciplines at superior. I'm going to be watching out for him.
