I live up in Indiana and a friend of mine recently came down to southern Indiana where I live from our beautiful capital of Indianapolis and told me a nasty rumor about Jyhad... He said that he was in a gaming store and saw that they were selling boosters for $2.25 a pack and starters 2 for the price of one....Why you might ask???? He said it was becuase Wotc and White Wolf had split up and that there would be no more sets...revised or expansions and therefore the value of the cards is dropping. Has anyone heard this rumor....if so let me know...and PLEASE tell me it's not true. You have no idea how much i'd like someone to tell me I'm a liar!!!! Dave

Do not believe rumors. Ever. ("Rumors are treason"...wait wrong game.) You have access to the .net, the singlemost best source to spread rumors nationwide instantly. Count up all the rumors or "truths people heard from someone they can't remember" and see how many actually have a shred of truth. > He said that he was in a gaming store and saw that they were >selling boosters for $2.25 a pack and starters 2 for the price of >one....Why you might ask????

Well, now, this is, in fact, not true. Why you might ask? First, WotC and WW were never together, despite what people think. They had a contract to produce one card game, Jyhad. Now WW is going to produce a card game based on their other RPG, Werewolf. That game will be called Rage. However, there will be at least one expansion for Jyhad, as has been announced. My best bet? The store had too many, and they weren't selling well. But I'm guessing. > Has anyone heard this rumor....if so let me know...and PLEASE >tell me it's not true. You have no idea how much i'd like someone to >tell me I'm a liar!!!! > Dave You're a liar. :} No, just -never- believe a rumor. Trust us magic geeks ("I know for a fact they'll be taking Serras out of Revised!") I've never heard a rumor and found it to be true later. Jack Dracula Tremere Archon

Nothing has been announced to this effect. I'm not sure where the retailer would have gotten this impression.
