Ebony Kingdom preview is up
http://www.white-wolf.com/vtes/index.php?line=Checklist_EbonyKingdom

Release Date: May 27, 2009

Blood of Africa!

Some stand outside the Thirteen, ancients who adhere to even older traditions.
They are the Laibon, the vampires born in the heart of Africa, inheritors of
secrets unknown to Camarilla or Sabbat. They too have joined the Eternal
Struggle &emdash; and they intend to thrive there.

Ebony Kingdom

White Wolf's sixteenth expansion for Vampire: The Eternal Struggle is a
boosters-only set entitled Ebony Kingdom, and it revisits the Legacies (clans)
of the African continent.

Each booster pack contains 11 all-new cards randomly selected from a set of 60
cards consisting of 20 rares, 20 vampires, and 20 commons.

Launch Event

White Wolf has scheduled the weekend of May 30th for the Ebony Kingdom Launch
Event.

Locate players in your area at www.white-wolf.com/vtes/member.

Order your Ebony Kingdom cards now at your local game and hobby store or order
directly from the online catalog.

My name is Rob.  I just received my Prince I.D. for Kitchener, ON in Canada. 
Hopped on and joined here in hopes to locate some players locally and to network
with players not so local.

If you are in the Golden Triangle and want to get involved in some local play
(league/tournaments to come soon) or if you and your troupe want to challenge
the Methuselah here, please let me know!

Thanks for reading!

Atlanta's Rise of the Imperator Results
Stone Mountain, Georgia
Saturday May 9th, 2009
12 players
2 R + F

Winning Player:  David Quinonero-Santiago
Winning Clan: Nosferatu (three Nosferatu decks in the finals + 2
Tremere)
Key Minion: Sheldon, Lord of the Clog
Imperator Nominee: Sheldon, Lord of the Clog

Finalists:

David Q., Nosferatu Princes, Group 1/2, 2 GW / 7 VP
      featuring Sheldon, Selma, Nikolaus Vermuelen
Danielle N., Tremere Princes, Group 4/5, 2 GW / 6 VP
      featuring Gerald Windham and Orlando Oriundus
David L., Nosferatu Princes & Friends, Group 2/3, 1 GW / 4 VP
      featuring Cock Robin and Casino Reeds
Jeff T., Fidus & Rock Cats, Group 1/2, 1 GW / 2 VP
      featuring Fidus and Thomas Thorne
David T., Nosferatu & Greensleeves, Group 4/5, 0 GW / 2 VP

Seating in the Finals:

Group 1/2 Nosferatu Princes
Tremere Princes
Fidus & Rock Cat
Group 2/3 Nosferatu Princes & Friends
Nosferatu and Greensleeves

With three different sets of Nosferatu, the Consanguineous Boons in
the Sheldon & Greensleeves decks bloated the Cock Robin deck
horrendously.  He had 20+pool and 6 large minions before the game
timed out.

Dear Members of the World of Darkness Community,

As a community matures, so should the infrastructure and facilities that support
it. We are currently in the process of examining and evaluating ways to create a
modern, technologically sound community destination for The Camarilla and The
Elder Kindred Network. A quick fix would be to upgrade to a contemporary content
management system, but our goal is to go beyond that. It is important to us that
the solution we choose offers state-of-the-art features and, more importantly,
caters specifically to the needs of our communities. This is a time consuming
process, and it is our intent to keep the community updated on our progress.

We understand that the community as whole is anxious for migration to a more
robust system, and we wish to extend our most sincere thanks to our volunteers
and to the community in general for its continued understanding.

Sincerely,

Shane K. DeFreest
World of Darkness Community Developer

Dennis Lien of Los Angeles joins the V:TES Hall of Fame with five tournament
wins.

V:TES Hall of Fame

To enter the V:TES Hall of Fame, a player has to win a minimum of five
tournaments, and those tournaments must have had their results posted on the
Usenet newsgroup rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad for inclusion in the Tournament
Winning Deck Archive. Many amazing players will be missed because of the absence
of those public results. This list celebrates those who have done well with the
game, and have worked to publicize the strengths of the game by publishing their
tournament winning deck lists. Players are listed by the number of tournaments
that they have won, and if there is a tie for the number of tournament wins,
then they are in alphabetical order by their first name. See the TWDA FAQ for
more information about appearing in this list yourself in the future.

The Archon tournament-tracking spreadsheet has been updated. Version 1.3 is
online at http://www.white-wolf.com/downloads.php?category_id=38

Changes:

Improved seating charts for 6 players (thanks to Karl Schaefer), and 18 and 23
players (thanks to Jussi Hattara). Corrected and updated finalists' ranking and
rating to reflect the 2008 tournament rules. Updated formulas for compatibility
with OpenOffice.org Calc (thanks to Jussi Hattara). Reworked V:EKN Report Tab
(thanks to Jeff Thompson).

After some communique amongst the Australian Princes, our national co-ordinator
has created a new forum for all Australian V:TES players.  This is to ensure
that all players have a single point of call for all relevant information on
events and playgroups etc.  We encourage all Australian players out there to
join up and use this forum.

Greetings fellow players,

    We're trying to recruit new players/find old players in Houston, our numbers
are getting a little low.  Any recommendations on websites to post on or the
best way to recruit new players would be greatly appreciated.

    We meet every thursday evening at Asgard Games in the Galleria area, starting
at 6:30 and going till 11:00 on average.  Currently we have 4-5 players showing
up on a regular basis.

Thanks in advance,

Eden's Legacy
VTES Fall 2009 Storyline Event

For centuries the Royal Order of Edenic Groundskeepers conducted their
clandestine research. Slowly, carefully, they built their maps, documenting in
detail the secret resting places of the world's Antediluvians and Methuselahs.
The members of the order have gathered the secrets of their forbearers and the
world's greatest trove of Kindred lore. Recently, several scholars of the order
mysteriously disappeared while researching a site near Mombasa. Teams of strange
Kindred have appeared in cities around the world to abduct the remaining members
of the order and claim their research. It has become clear that the secret
society had been penetrated or betrayed.

As the secret of the Edenic Groundskeepers is revealed, the world's Methuselahs
realize their sudden peril, and the opportunities before them. The clandestine
struggle for control of the information unearthed by the order begins. Some of
the Methusleahs are motivated by the desire for the secrets to remain hidden.
Others are motivated by knowledge and the chance to learn the secrets of the
Edenic Groundskeepers. Some Methuselahs see the order's trove as the key to
victory in the great Jyhad. Others view it as instrumental to Gehenna itself.

Only when the fate of the order has been determined, and the reasons behind
their betrayal and abduction are revealed, will the Methuselahs come to
understand Eden's Legacy.

Erol Öngün and Ferenc Vasadi join the V:TES Hall of Fame with five tournament
wins.

http://www.thelasombra.com/hall_of_fame.htm

V:TES Hall of Fame

To enter the V:TES Hall of Fame, a player has to win a minimum of five
tournaments, and those tournaments must have had their results posted on the
Usenet newsgroup rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad for inclusion in the Tournament
Winning Deck Archive. Many amazing players will be missed because of the absence
of those public results. This list celebrates those who have done well with the
game, and have worked to publicize the strengths of the game by publishing their
tournament winning deck lists. Players are listed by the number of tournaments
that they have won, and if there is a tie for the number of tournament wins,
then they are in alphabetical order by their first name. See the TWDA FAQ for
more information about appearing in this list yourself in the future.
