has anyone thought maybe TBA in the KMW checklist doesn't refer to a single vampire, but perhaps multiple vampires? hmmm.... could give us plenty of new baali in that case. and speaking of the checklist, what the heck is a "Bloodstorm of Chorazin", in the RPG? or at least what's Chorazin? it sounds a bit like some medication i might have once been on... salem domain:canberra http://www.geocities.com/salem_christ.geo/vtes.htm (replace "hotmail" with "yahoo" to email)

Chorazin was Shaitan's palace which he built in "north of Galilee", over the tomb of Namtaru (a ridiculously powerful demon-thing). Later abandoned, but rediscovered by Azaneal during the 11th century with the help of some Lasombra. Unfortunately they read some really bad writing on the walls of Namtaru's tomb (written by Namtaru in his sleep) and "the darkness of Chorazin" possessed them all and they killed each other -- except for Azaneal. And even he went stark raving mad, splitting the bloodline into two contesting factions. --CV

see, lasombra always have their hands in when trouble's afoot. Not anymore.... Now it is the wise clan of Mekhet which embraces darkness and seeks the long forgotten knowledge... BTW can somebody give me some info on Mekhet (not the new clan, but who Mekhet was in the old World of Darkness). What i know is that he was supposed to be a child of Caine (thus one of the destroyed 2nd gen vampires ?) and i heard some rumors of being the founder of Tzimisce clan... Though i am not sure of any of the above... George

I don't get the idea of what TBA means... i'm sooo confused, i thought it was a rule. Mekhet was one of the posible name for the antediluvian of clan Tzimisce, and the name also appeared in Gehenna as the 14th or so antediluvian. [ quoted text not captured ]

I don't get the idea of what TBA means... i'm sooo confused, i thought it was a rule. no, it simply means "To Be Announced" or maybe in this case (KMW crypt list ) means "The Bad Antediluvian" or "The Bastard Arrived" or "Too Boredtoupdatethelist Atthemomment" or "Too Bored Already"... George

And Blood Brother does fall between "Baali" and "Brujah" And maybe it's just that LSJ is going to preview the vamp soon so he didn't wanna spoil it? That's what it sounded like in his post. Neil

My first guess was that it WASN'T a Baali at all. I figured the last storyline promo vamp might be the "5th" Baali. -tpl

Crazy! The current list (and, IIRC, the previous set's previews) have "..." at the end of the list to indicate there are more to come. In the KMW preview, there is a "TBA" _in the middle_ of the list, in between the Baali and the Brujah. salem This Brief Acronym

No, maybe TBA is for a new clan, which is between Baali and Brujah :PPP Yes, "he Beggars" :PPP Well, stop being paranoid... we'll see in the future, i believe it will be just one Baali. George

Ooh I dont know if anyone else has noticed this but i just had a bit of a revelation.. Since we know there will be 2 starter only vamps in the Baali starter and Maureen, Dark Priestess is marked (PB) but she is the only one then the TBA must either be multiple vamps or be another Baali from the starter.

And from White Wolf source materials there are several baali that come after Maureen in the alphabets. Here are some of possible vampires. 1st guess: Nergal and Moloch are the two named children of Saulot who spawned the bloodline. According to the mythos Nergal has perhaps used also names Shaitan, Adriel and Huitzilopochtli. This could make one guess that the TBA vampire could be another big gun Baali: Moloch Baali 11, DAI OBF PRE XXX XXX XXX +bleed, at least decent special. 2nd guess: From the book Kindred Most Wanted we can find a Baali named Petaniqua. She was mother of Alexander the Great, embraced by Cybele (already in the set) after his son ascended to the throne. She is also known by names Myrtale and Olympias. She has associated herself with a tribe of wyrm infested werewolves known as Black Spiral Dancers and with the Sabbat. She could also be a Malkavian antitribu. Her possible Baali origins are quite hazy: Petaniqua, The Black Eyes of the Wyrm Baali 9, DAI DEM THA AUS obf Sabbat. Red List. ???. 3rd guess: A childe of Moloch named in Clanbook Baali: Tanit Baali 10, DAI OBF PRE ??? ??? ??? ???. 4th guess: I might be completely wrong and it's just another Baali or maybe even that Blood Brother guy that people have talked about. -- Powerbase: Turku http://www.tenerdo.org/

Ok, i'll probably be going to hell for this, BUT, if a vampire is embraced when it's mortal age was under 18, but it has subsequently passed beyond that age, is it still wrong to look at nudie photos of it?

but then again, some rumors state that we´re gonna see Huitzi ADV in this set...

I've been thinking that maybe the TBA could be the block 4 Inner Circle Brujah, there haven't come on more camarilla and maybe it's name start with A or B. And you should note that there are only too TBA rules else, and one most be the one for Trophy (new rule) and there's a library card that should be the trophy, and the next TBA should be a Vampire, and it most be almost at the end of the preview, that's why i suspect of the vampire, becuase it doesn't say that it's a New Rule, nor and update just that it's NEW.

Second: It's not just a vampire on the to-be-graphically-revealed bit, as the assamite who's just been released didn't have a TBA bit. -Bram Vink
