Sabbat Re-release (Press Release)

THE SABBAT--BACK FROM THE GRAVE THIS FALL Standalone Expansion for the Vampire: The Eternal Struggle Trading Card Game Scheduled for Re-release on Halloween October 9, 1997 (Renton, Wash.)--Savage, ruthless and diabolical, Sabbat vampires have rejected the ancient laws of the undead for centuries. This Halloween, their immortal conflict with the CamarillaTM will be resurrected when Wizards of the Coast Inc. re-releases The SabbatTM standalone expansion card set for its Vampire: The Eternal StruggleTM (V:TES) trading card game. "Players waited two years for this expansion after V:TES was originally released in 1994," said Ryan Dancey, brand manager for the V:TES trading card game. "Our first print run of The Sabbat has sold out and there continues to be a high demand for this expansion." Originally released last fall, The Sabbat expansion features two new vampire clans, the LasombraTM and TzimisceTM, as well as new rules for voting and combat between the Camarilla and Sabbat vampires. This expansion can be played alone or with cards from the V:TES game, giving players the opportunity to create new Sabbat decks or enhance their existing V:TES decks. The Sabbat are a malicious sect of vampires who have flouted the laws governing the undead by waging a war of blood and shadows against their enemies, the Kindred of the Camarilla. They revel in savagery and hold great contempt for humanity, believing mortals to be nothing more than cattle. Whereas the Camarilla govern their own with a genteel facade, the Sabbat rule with an iron fist, relying upon intimidation and violence to maintain control. The Sabbat expansion consists of more than 400 cards, and is illustrated by such leading artists as John Bolton, Tim Bradstreet and Mike Dringenberg. It is sold in 28-card booster packs that retail for $3.95.

AFAIK, the cards will all be exactly the same as the initial run. I'll check with Eric Cagle and see if he knows anything different. -- L.

When you talk to Eric Cagle, ask him if they will fix the sucky card ratio's in The Sabbat set. Frankly my group quit buying the cards as we obtained far too many duplicates of older cards (not to mention boxes seemes skewed with a particular rare). That would be nice to know.. -- Bernie Oh, By The Way.. Apparently the feedback I'd recieved from folks who have attended WOTC sponsored tournamets Post-ORIGINS are that the prize support has been vastly improved. They might like to know that. Thanks.
