Important Update!!! Dear Cainites, the Columbus Sea Hotel have a shortage of rooms left because of a major judo tournament. This means "the faster the better"; if you write to book right now you can be sure to have the reduced price. Otherwise, you have to wait until september, when many more rooms will be available, still at a reduced price. Please don't wait! "When you are an anvil, wait. When you are an hammer, strike."

Dear Vampires! Less than one month to the EC! It's time to get a look as some goodies that we have prepared for you. Don't wait more and preregister now. Also, in the accommodation section you can find some other options if Columbus Sea Hotel is not of your liking. vtesec2016.it/2016/10/27/come-and-win-the-prizes/ "When you are an anvil, wait.

Will deck-lists be required in some or all of the tournaments at the EC? National Coordinator Germany nc [dot] germany [at] magenta [dot] de

you need to announce deck lists on the event page otherwise everything needed is in 1.2 of tournament rules, so i'm assuming no. 1.2. Necessary Tournament Materials Players must bring the following items to a tournament in order to participate: A visible and reliable method to maintain and record game information (counters for the Blood Bank, pen and paper to record deck information if required, and so on). A valid and unique V:EKN number registered in the participant's name. Note: New players must register for V:EKN membership at their first tournament. Players may only have one V:EKN number. Tournament organizers must report any player using more than one V:EKN membership number. Any materials specifically required for a particular tournament format, as required by the V:EKN Floor Rules or the tournament organizer. Example: Players need to bring their assembled decks to Constructed tournaments.

Yes, deck lists are required for all tournaments at the EC. A proper announcement will be on the Fb page and Web site ASAP. "When you are an anvil, wait. When you are an hammer, strike." Italian NC

I'd like to remind to all players that cards coming from VEKN released PDF expansions need to be printed in COLOR on STANDARD PAPER. Thanks a lot. "When you are an anvil, wait. When you are an hammer, strike." Italian NC

Anyone have a more exact location (street address or map link) to the place where the games will run? The web page says "Sala Chiamata, a room inside Luigi Rum social club", and I gather the Luigi Rum is somewhere close to the default EC hotel... but that's all I know Reason I'm asking is that our flight arrives very late on Thursday and we probably can't make it to the welcome party, so we'll have to manage to find the EC spot from our various hotels in the morning.

Piazzale san benigno Circolo luigi rum, there's only this building In the square. Is within walking distance from the hotel. "When you are an anvil, wait. When you are an hammer, strike." Italian NC

Here we are. The EC 2016 is so close now! Many players from all over Europe already gathered in Genoa and are waiting for the hell to unleash. Just few tips and last details: it's cold and windy in Genoa, so dress accordingly (this won't apply for finnish and swedish players). The venue is in Piazzale San Benigno, no number given since it is the only building in the square. The registrations are open from Thursday evening. Friday morning registration open at 9.00 o' clock, so please show on time. Tournaments starts at 10.00. Vekn PDF cards in your decks need to be printed in color on standard paper, matte sleeves. Please bring your decklist with you. We are looking forward to welcome you in Genoa! Don't miss it. "When you are an anvil, wait. When you are an hammer, strike." Italian NC

And it's over. This long amazing weekend is turning into a memory to cherish. We would like to thank all the 100+ players from over the world that gathered in Genoa. It was a wild and tough ride, but we do hope that all Vampires had fun. We are already looking for the upcoming EC, as we may get old, we may get small embraces (aka babies), but we stay fast and strong. Let them bleed! "When you are an anvil, wait. When you are an hammer, strike." Italian NC

I don't recall meeting him previously but having played a preliminary round with him on Sunday he sure was super nice dude. Congrats! Finnish Politics!

I faced him playing a awesome +1 strengt Assamites deck in the Legendary Vampire tournament, that in itself is worth a prize "My strategy? Luck is my strategy, of course."
