Black Hand Card Exchange

We're set to begin the card exchange for the 3 cards swapped out of the Black Hand set. See http://www.white-wolf.com/vtes/Exchange.html for details. Here're the stats on Hannibal: Hannibal Advanced Malkavian antitribu cel dom AUS DEM OBF 10 Group 2 Advanced, Sabbat cardinal: Once during each Methuselah's minion phase, Hannibal may burn 2 blood to untap. The release date for these 3 is today. They become legal 30 days from today (May 9). -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.

How long will it take, upon reciept of the misprinted cards, for the replacement cards to get to us.

You say that now, but just wait until 500 envelopes land on your desk one morning...... or fill up your PO box, or whatever.... good luck with it. :) and just to check, the vampires being received in exchange are also going to be appearing as part of the promo vamp pool for future tourney prize kits, right? or is that just Hannibal? salem domain:canberra http://www.geocities.com/salem_christ.geo/vtes.htm (replace "hotmail" with "yahoo" to email)

Is there any chance that at say Gencon this exchange could be done in person if there are supplies remaining at that time? (like at WW's booth or something?) Figuring out how many international reply coupons to send could be challenging. I guess though that in person would be a pain in the behind for WW staff. -JTP "LSJ" <vte...@white-wolf.com> wrote in message news:eb4eb7f8.04040...@posting.google.com...

They're in tournament support packs as well, so we should have some for tournament support at Gen*Con (no exchange necessary). [ quoted text not captured ]

Well, I'm confused by this. I find both Jessica and Jessica advanced in the Black Hand !Tor deck. Could somebody give us a primer on this "printer's error" issue, and what the exchange offer is meant to accomplish? Very interseted and ready to send cards and SASE.

It is true that both versions of Jessica are available in the !Toreador starter. The mixup is that the Advanced Jessica was supposed to be in the boosters (not the basic version). The Advanced Jessica was not supposed to be hard to get. Halcyan 2

I know it was not a printing error, but any chance we could get Goratrix (non-advanced) as a possible future exchange? :) -JTP "LSJ" <vte...@white-wolf.com> wrote in message news:eb4eb7f8.04040...@posting.google.com... [ quoted text not captured ]

Is the Yung-Song replacement stat-wise identical to the Sabbat version? I haven't seen errata for him an I think I would rather keep my advanced copy than trade for something i have in a bundle.

> The release date for these 3 is today. > They become legal 30 days from today (May 9). Er..I could understand for Hanibal (adv), but as the other 2 are available in the starters, why aren't Jessica(adv) and Yong Sun(adv) tournament legal already? Just trying to avoid some confusion.. Thanks, Jo

[ quoted text not captured ] Because they probably have a special (or no) expansion symbol on them, and it's VEKN policy that "new printing of an old card" still counts as a new card for purposes of playability in tournaments. So, the Black Hand printing of Jessica-ADV would be legal in tournaments now, but the Exchanged version of her would not.

Now you're saying that people who bought the preconstructed decks get to play with their copies of these cards, whereas the ones that were unlucky due to a printing mistake don't.Not really fair IMHO, as the ones who got the Black Hand Jessica instead of the Black Hand (ADV) Jessica, and who bought their cards on exactly the same day are at a disadvantage.Even worse for the ones whose copies of Jessica (ADV) are on their way over .. How are you going to justify that to your players? Realising this will probably not make WW change their opinion, but the small change that Jessica (ADV) is either legal or she's not, regardless of how they got it, would solve the matter Just my 0.5EUrocents Jo
