Nominations have begun for 2010 Nossies!

Well it's that time again! Time for the 2010 Nossies, where you the fans choose the best cards of the past year.

I didn't buy much EK so I'm not familiar with it all off the top of my head...

my opinions and some thoughts why... Best Card of the Year: Bamba (brings some sect breeding parity for Laibon) Best Vampire in a Lead Role: Lucian (most amusing new soloist power bleed deck -- now with Orun! *snort*) Best Vampire in a Supporting Role: Nana Buruku (just awesome vampire ability. Anson still rules because of bounce. same reason Lucian beats her too...) Best Ally or Retainer: Tunnel Runner (it bleeds, at stealth, repeatedly! nice) Best Equipment: Reilquary: Trinket (hand size and cycling in one card; two critical techs in one card, available en masse for the whole sect. good.) Best Artwork in a Crypt Card: Abiku (love the look. Abiku refers to bad children spirits that repeatedly are born in order to die young, in order to nourish on the tears of parents. the haughty and knowing baby face captures the mythology pretty concisely.) Best Artwork in a Library Card: Despiral (vampiric soiree... now with dashikis!)

[ quoted text not captured ] How about the promos from Eden's Legacy? Those were released in 2009. If so, how about the nominations: Best Vampire in a Supporting Role: Yazid Tamari (Advanced) :-) Best Equipment: Codex of the Edenic Groundskeepers

[ quoted text not captured ] And Joz probably isn't even going to give credit where it's due. Ah, well. Really, the Devil-Chicken should be given some kind of Lifetime Achievement Award for being the best ally in the game. Love that lil' guy! John Eno

I knew it wasn't me, and I know you obviously use it a lot. :) Go ahead and take the credit, glory-hound :)

It is rather dubious that with only one (mini) set released within a year, the promos of that same year are not included at all. In 2009 a massive amount of 11 promos were released. Ebony Kingdom contained 60 cards. So, more than 15% of the released cards of 2009 are just ignored! It just doesn't seem right. H

Ebony Kingdom > contained 60 cards. I understand your point and it's well argued. I'm not anti-promo, my thinking was that everyone can ID an Ebony Kingdom card, but I had doubts how accurate people are with understanding which promo cards came out which year. Even I have several promos and it's all a blur to me when/where I got them. If you want to nominate a promo, I'll change my mind and say go ahead.

[ quoted text not captured ] Is it really that difficult to check which promos there are? A source could be the official WW website: http://www.white-wolf.com/vtes/index.php?line=checklist_Promos Or look at a VTES search tool like the Secret Library: http://www.secretlibrary.info/index.php Is it a blur? Yes it is! I used the secret library, but only checked the library cards and forgot about the crypt cards. It turns out that there are 13 promos in 2009 (and not 11). :) To nominate a card: Best Event: The Fourth Cycle. (and yes I mean that) The problem is of course that a lot of people already casted their votes. It is too late. But I hope next year the promos will be included. H BTW. I like the initiative of the nominations.

Okay, here are my updated nominations (including promo cards): * Best Card of the Year (Can be a Library or Crypt card) Abactor * Best Vampire in a Lead Role Lucian, the Perfect * Best Vampire in a Supporting Role Yazid Tamari (Advanced) * Best Ally or Retainer Impundulu * Best Equipment Codex of the Edenic Groundskeepers * Best Event The Fourth Cycle * Best Artwork in a Crypt Card Ngozi Ekwensu * Best Artwork in a Library Card Remnant of the Endless Storm

He have quietus, quietus is bad discipline, perhaps worst discipline. * Best Card of the Year (Can be a Library or Crypt card) Nana Buruku * Best Vampire in a Lead Role Nana Buruku * Best Vampire in a Supporting Role Titi Camara, i was going to say Nana Buruku again to be fair, but i felt it would be too much * Best Ally or Retainer Impundulu * Best Equipment Codex of the Edenic Groundskeepers * Best Event The Bitter and Sweet Story * Best Artwork in a Crypt Card Abu Nuwasi (i know, Brian LeBlanc, sure, he usually sucks) * Best Artwork in a Library Card Blood Shield
