2 Questions for LSJ

I've read where a new expansion is due out at the end of this year, and that no information other than that is available to us at this time. When will we get more info on the new expansion, or can you tell us that? *drools expectantly for new cards* Next question: in our playgroup, if a vampire is burned we do not allow that vampire to be brought out again. He/she is destroyed, and therefore cannot be controlled again. Is this the case, or can you, if your vampire is destroyed, bring him out again? Thanks, Patrick

If I knew, I could tell you, sure. But I don't know. When I get more information, I will pass it along (that's part of the job description). > *drools expectantly for new cards* > > Next question: in our playgroup, if a vampire is burned we do not allow > that vampire to be brought out again.

You (or any other player) may bring it out again. -- L. Scott Johnson (vte...@wizards.com) VTES Net.Rep for Wizards of the Coast.

Thanks. I just didn't know if you knew and were keeping things under wraps for a while. P. [ quoted text not captured ]

I also see no problem with this from a storytelling standpoint. In fiction (particularly horror fiction) there is nothing unusual about characters who are believed dead later turning out to be not dead after all.

Or even using the context of the game: When you bring a vamp out to the active region, you have 'bribed, bought or cajoled' that vamp into your employ. When that vamp is torpored, it's simply in a Torpor state but still in your employ. However, when that vamp is burned, that vamp says 'man, screw this guy... enough is enough" and leaves. You, or someone else, can then try to 'bribe, buy, cajole' that same vamp enough to bring them (possibly back) into your employ. Contesting would be the same in this context. 2 people vieing <sp> for control of that vamp. Remember, the blood on any particular vampire is just a metaphor. It also represents how much influence that vamp has, not just merely how powerful or how much stamina that vamp has. a0 --- I told the priest - don't count on any second coming.

You have to admit though, if Crusher attacks Arika and hits her for 18 damage with a combo of Fists of Death, additional strikes and Burning Wrath, then pulls her fangs to make sure, you'd think that he'd destroyed her, not her influence or her Methuselah's control over her. p.

In article <36ED48B2...@alpinetaxi.com>, [ quoted text not captured ] I'd also say, that though the pool of the players represent influence, wealth and such things, blood on vampires represents just that: the blood a vampire has is really his blood which he uses to power his vampiric disciplines and to heal damage.
