VEKN Brujah Newsletter June 2001 + Question

[snip] The Rumor Mill has two disadvantages - costing a blood >from your minion to get the intercept, and it's not "sale-able", i.e. >you can't give intercept to another Methuselah's vampire - that are >not balanced by its lower cost. Skaffen, GREAT fiction!! However I believe you are mistaken about the Rumor Mill (or I have been playing it wrong for 5 years now) Card text says nothing about it's saleability. The Rumor Mill, Tabloid Newspaper [Sabbat, SW] Cardtype: Master Cost: 1 pool Master: unique location. Tap this card and choose a vampire. Once during the current action, the chosen vampire may burn 1 blood to get +1 intercept It does not say "choose a vampire you control" so I figure you CAN use it to sell the intercept. You simply tap and choose any vampire, who can then burn a blood to get one intercept during the action. Or am I wrong?? Tim Eijpe

Sorry about the mistake, teaches me to write this stuff without checking the card texts first. Still I stand to my conclusion that the Newsradio is best, although by a very slim margin, and just because if I include it, I want to use it as often as possible, and in that case the one extra pool cost seems a better deal then losing a blood on a vampire every time. For table agitation though the Rumor Mill lives up to its name, no doubt. Regards Skaffen Chantry Elder Of Munich "Death followed my way Whereever I lay my weary feet.
