Uzoma is repeated in both the starters and the boosters. Kisha Bhimji does not appear in the boosters or starters. ------------------- Fae Contortion has the background of an action card. Its effects are: Reflex, Combat, and Action Modifier. ------------------- The layout appears to be significantly consistent! Great Job Scott. Thank you.

Why did Kisha get taken out suddenly? I spent the weekend with you guys and either didn't pay enough attention or never heard the reason. Has anybody given the official answer yet?

[ quoted text not captured ] There is an explanation on the WW site. "Note: Uzoma (a vampire from the Osebo starter) was accidentally inserted on the uncommon sheet as well, in place of Kisha Bhimji. Kisha Bhimji is marked with an asterisk below. She doesn't appear in the set at all. Watch this space for updates as to the future status of Kisha Bhimji." Maybe they will do something similar to the Hannibal advanced replacement scheme they had from BH, or perhaps she will appear as a promo? -Anthony

Another couple of things that drew my attention: * Soar and Patrol have had their artwork switched. * Font sizes are all over the place. This creates a minor but irritating inconsistency with previous sets, which had fairly similar text size. regards, Disco Stu.

I don't have any LoB to hand but in previous sets, there have been issues with (say) "Strike: +1 damage" being in small text at the top of a library card text box, and the rest of it empty. Which can also look weird. Some of the non-WW sets vary font sizes a lot more to get around this, and it's really down to personal preference which looks more awkward, IMO. -- James Coupe PGP Key: 0x5D623D5D YOU ARE IN ERROR.

They are a super cool, high concept spider people clan. Amd yet their clan border is, uh, featureless beige? Man. -Peter

And some of the reprinted cards are printed with "enlarged" art if compared to the old versions (Change of Target, Terror Frenzy, Vox Domini to name few).

The micro-text and blank space might look weird, but the HUGE text on one card and micro-text on another is jarring. -- - Gregory Stuart Pettigrew

I'm not sure if this has been reported yet, but looks like these are in Common slots instead of Uncommon slots. Brother in Arms Spike-thrower It's not really a problem, but the White Wolf's card list just need to be fixed. Deadsloth

[ quoted text not captured ] I would very much like to get a confirmation of this. After 1.5 boxes it would seem that it could be the case, but with that small a take I cannot be certain. -Antero

[ quoted text not captured ] They're printed on the Common Sheet but are intended to have Uncommon Rarity. I've opened 2 1/3 boxes and they come out in between - either an infrequent Common or a frequent Uncommon. [ quoted text not captured ]

I'll update the cardlists today. Thanks. -- That is my story, be it bitter or be it sweet. Keep a little and let a little come back to me.

Some have the outferior discipline symbol above the inf/sup symbol, and some vice versa. This appears to be split roughly 50/50 across the set. Which makes hand and collection sorting very awkward if you organize by discipline as I do. I would greatly like to see this inconsistency eliminated. Listing the outferior symbol over the inf/sup just as the card text does would seem to be preferable personally. G

ALL of the bloodline-discipline cards in LoB have the bloodline-discipline symbol shown above the one of the outferior. Cards that genuinely require TWO disciplines (such as Inspire Greatness, Muricia's Call, Eye of Unforgiving Heaven, Glare of Lies, Truth of Blood) have the symbols in alphabetical order (up to down). Looks pretty consistent to me... Cheers, Emiliano

Correct. > Cards that genuinely require TWO disciplines (such as Inspire > Greatness, > Muricia's Call, Eye of Unforgiving Heaven, Glare of Lies, Truth of > Blood) > have the symbols in alphabetical order (up to down). Correct. Multi-Discipline cards have the Disciplines in alphabetical order. Split-Discipline cards have the Disciplines in "primary"-"secondary" order, when such a distinction exists. When all Disciplines are used "equally", alphabetical order is used to break the ties (e.g., in Anarch 3-way cards). > Looks pretty consistent to me... Thanks. [ quoted text not captured ]
