Holy crap, the consistency in the illustrations is well done! You know all of the artists?
I'd love to have a .zip file of all of the vampires, preferably sorted by clan too. Someone else can comment on the game balance, but I really love the looks of them.

First, let me say that I'd like to take Alice out on a date. She can suck on me anytime she needs to. Yeah, I said it.
Lord Of Madness might be undercosted, I'll playtest it when the time comes.

Awesome work ) In printing for casual gamin
Also few changes suggested:
Amanda ; 1 pool
Tristan; same text as Alejandro Aguirre
Marius; on a tie?
Dame; superior Thanatosis
Guillermo; 1 blood

What you meant for the Connected is probably "Slave: Unique Malkavian Antitribu". Since they are themselves, one of them alone is enough to fulfill th Slave requirement and I don't think that was the idea.
It requires a bit of rule bending, though, since th Slave trait is supposed to be followed by a Clan alone. Either make them Pander or update the Slave rule a bit to fit them in.
I've seen them all now, and his is my comment again : Good work!
These are vampires i feel need additional work :
img263.imageshack.us/img263/6994/shanon.jpg
I feel that her ability needs to work in referendums you call, not all referendums. We do not want improved Lutz, this time with dom/OBF on tables.
img593.imageshack.us/img593/1100/irmebach.jpg
He, i feel, need at least basic animalism, otherwise i feel he will rarely see any play as a Tzimitze. Also, thematically, since Berlin is a Ventrue stronghold, he should have his conditional +1 bleed against them, not Tremere.
img810.imageshack.us/img810/8119/ladybingqing.jpg
Text needs more work. Does she put Sup, or inf Shambler into play? By the rules, it will be inferior version, but i think you wanted to make it superior.
img197.imageshack.us/img197/6826/littlelinda.jpg
Too strong. Text too strong, PRE totally overpowered.
img194.imageshack.us/img194/1401/mariusthegambler.jpg
Nice idea, but his special ability takes too long to play out, and i suspect it is not amusing after first two times.
img29.imageshack.us/img29/603/beryl.jpg
Too powefull text on a 7-cap with 2 votes and those disciplines (outferior dom, with all that?). Needs rework, or no text at all, imho.
img846.imageshack.us/img846/5880/danielac.jpg
Too strong text, make it last until the end of your current minion phase.
img855.imageshack.us/img855/91/deanvl.jpg
Remove the -1 penalty on strength, otherwise the poor scarecrow will never see play. He has 4 inferior disciplines already for a 5-cap.
img823.imageshack.us/img823/2695/estrellashadow.jpg
Imho, too good discipline spread. FOR or THA and/or pro has to go.
Take this cum grano salis, this are just my superficial impressions. Great work, great art, great design. Keep it up!
Very nice work. I really like the art and as a whole they're interesting and thematic.
A couple of minor questions are
1) Why group 6 instead of group 5?
and 2) Do you not like the black hand?
Apart from that, on balance, cost and wording issues
Amanda
Might be better if her ability required burning blood instead of pool to use it. As printed, I think she's overcost (compare to Melinda Galbraith for example)
Amaroo
Too expensive for someone with no title or ability. (compare with any other 8 cap Brujah or !Brujah from group 3 onwards)
Beatrix
I like her, but maybe make her ability "during your discard phase" to prevent her regaining the blood during the same turn, and to prevent her using her ability during combat. I'm not sure which of these is more balanced as this is a fairly unique ability so difficult to cost, so maybe you prefer it work during combat.
Beryl
Initially seems a bit on the cheap side, but the fact that she has only basic presence is probably enough to make up for this.
Carles
I don't think the text works well as written. Replace the second "during" with "for".
During your untap phase, if you control the edge, Carles can burn 1 blood to get +1 bleed for the turn.
I'm not sure if he's the right cost as it's difficult to know what that ability is worth.
Connected to the madness
I like the concept, think it's well priced and balanced, but I just don't like the name, sorry.
Dame
I don't think her ability is worth it for a 9 cap with no title, no other ability, and only basic level of the discipline that she gets a discount on. Also, why does she only have Thanatosis at basic? All the other vampires who get a discount on a particular discipline have the discipline at superior. (Compare with Izhim abd Azrael or Una for cost)
Daniel
At that cost and discipline level, he should be an Archbishop.
Daniela
has too few disciplines for a 7 cap with what would normally be an effectively blank text box.
Dascot Thousand Arms
He would be much better as an 8 cap with superior Animilism (and maybe 1 vote or an extra minor discipline depending on how you price his ability)
Dean
The ability text should read
Dean can enter combat with a younger vampire as a D action.
(ie, add the words "as a"). Apart from that, I think the -1 strength, combined with his only basic level disciplines makes him too difficult to play.
Estrella Shadow
I like her. Very nice thematic ability, well balanced and priced. My only minor niggle with this card is that the wording on the ability seems a bit unwieldy. I'm not sure how to clean it up though.
Flavia Fratelli
Should have 1 less point of disciplines for an 8 cap archbishop with no ability or drawback. (compare Sobayifa, Polly Kay Fisher or Lukas, or compare Falhu Shibaba for an 8 cap Magaji with 9 points of disciplines and a drawback)
I've only looked at the first 20 in detail at the moment, the others of them all seem correctly balanced. I'll probably review the others later this evening or tomorrow.

Adan is too big and his special is not good, he wouldn't be used much. Overcosted.
Alice is boring !Ventrue, obf at inferior make her decent for obf DOM s&b. not bad.

Amy is good, even very good. Staple vampire in AUS PRE torries.
Austin is great 4 cap. and means great daring the dawn for 6.
Beatrix ability sound costly, but she is good vampire regardless.

Carles is meh
Chrys is decent.
Connected is odd.
Dame sucks.
Daniel is overcosted.

Dascot is not that bad, but bad anyway.
Dean innate rush might be useful, but -1 strength and lack of or or (to play thrown gate or aids from bats or swallowed) make him subpar.

Sure, but she has an in-built bleed for 3, 4 votes, and her other disciplines are DOM and OBT and POT.
Now, in my book, DOM OBT beats ANI abo any day.
It's the corelation of disciplines, she has both access to easy multiacting via freak drives, Magic of the smiths/rutors, strong political/stealt/bleed angle, and can even wreck your face with POT/FOR/THA combat paired with aggravated hands from pro.
She does everything a bit too well. She might be next Stanislava (which can fight if needed), are we sure we want that?
Adan
I might be tempted to remove the unlimtied +bleed and change it to either +2 bleed against a Methuselah who controls and Infernal Vampire or +2 damage with strikes against Infernal vampires. Nice art though.
Alice
I don't think I can show my wife that card, the drool marks might be obvious. Solid enough !Ven. Needless to say... I'd tap that... in the ready region of course, just before declaring an action! (I hope that was a smooth recovery...)
Amanda
That card text is crippling... burn 2 blood I would consider but 2 pool??? Discipline spread is good, like the title. Artwork is good.
Amaroo
Interesting disciplines... and ... I think I'm tired of seeing major vampires with in-clan inferior disciplines. I'd be willing to swap the or one level of to get .
Amy Ford
Solid. I like it.
Austin
Nice enough, don't like the "Spare member of the Gorillaz" artwork though.
Beatrix
Interesting card text, I'd pay the extra pool to have that text. I like the artwork.
Berg
Roids of the month club. Feels a bit over-powered with the and +bleed but then again he is a 9cap... line-ball I'd say.
Beryl
Nice, but change it to "Once during your minion phase Beryl may burn 1 blood to untap a younger vampire you control". Otherwise she's a bit too cross-table meddling... Like the art theme for the card but the style is a bit too anime for my taste.
Carles
Nice enough text, I think it's fairly balanced. Like the artwork.
Chys
Nice. Good solid vampire.
Connected to the Madness
Bad name. It should be easy to say... Kindred Madman for instance. Need to tweak the text (below). Good artwork.
Sabbat. Malkavian antitribu Slave. ((Name)) cannot be a Slave to a non-unique vampire. ((Name)) may tap to give another Malkavian antitribu +1 strength for the current action, only usable before combat. -1 bleed.
Dame
Can't see how abilities would allow you to pay less for . If it was then I see it easily... Otherwise she's just a big Nossie with Fortitude which I like. (Disciplines are out of order...) Nice artwork.
Daniel
There's some solid bad-ass looking Brujah. I like it.
Daniela
Nice, but I'd amend her text to say "until your next discard phase" or "until your next untap phase".
Dascot
I liiiike the art. Very good. Disciplines are a let-down. I'd have hoped for and the card text.
Dean
I'd swap out -1 strength for -1 bleed. Dunno about the straw-man artwork, but sure. Another City-Gangrel-Nossie.
Eloise
Yay, 6-cap-all-in-clan-superiors vampire. YAY!
Estrella
Nice idea, bad text. "Estrella may put a shadow counter on a vampire controlled by your predator or prey as a action. When a vampire with a shadow counter declares an action, they transfer 1 blood to Estrella. +2 bleed". I think the +2 bleed is overkill, that ability alone has serious steroids on it, especially with . Like the artwork.
Flavia
More of the City-Gangrel-Nossies. Out-of-clan is interesting. Love the artwork.
Frederick
Nice. Artwork is nice too.
Fredy
Interesting art, solid vamp
Guillermo
Greta gets to reduce bleed for 1 blood, and this guy gets 1 damage for 2 blood? I'd prefer it to be "When a younger vampire or ally attempted to bleed you, (before blocks/after resolving the action) Guillermo may burn 1 blood to deal 1 damage to the minion." Nice art.
Ildaras
Tzim with and you think he needs a little and . The guy is pretty darn badass as it is. I'd trade off the or to get something like +1 intercept or +1 strength...
Imre
Sure... ... sure art is cool, but I dunno... no animalism retainers, no untaps, no Army of Rats just not sure what to do with him. Beyond the obvious Horrid Form + IG + BAD THINGS (tm).
Jenare
Nice.
Kanira
Sure, City Gangrel need some kind of defence other than Askinya.
Lady Bing Qing
She plays with dead people, and I love it. Text needs a little tweak (Zombie Ally or retainer she could recuit) but other than that... fun gal to have around.
Lady Maria
Lots of and turning up on these Lasombra, suppose the bigger ones always did do politics. Nice art.
Lips
Hehehe silly looking crazy people. TICK!
Little Linda
Fun and I LOVE the artwork. "Don't do that, Bear doesn't like it... *RAWR*"
Lord of Madness
I think it should be an Epithet. "Jacques, Lord of the Madness". I don't know about 3 blood, I could see it being 2 blood (like Menele). Good artwork.
Lorraine
Who in the WHAT NOW? Nah, she's sitting in the box for a LONG time now.
Lucia Cortes
Hehehehe I like her. Nice artwork.
Mad Carrion
I think he should probably have but other than that... nice. Like the art.
Marianne
More Nos with ... they seem to be tough or play with Gangrel in this collection. Not that I mind, but still. Like the artwork alot actually.
Marius
Maybe make it +bleed or -bleed... OR if you don't WIN Marius loses blood. (removes the problem of draws).
Matt Ivanek
Sure, ... seems like the Malks got violent-crazy recently.
Mint
Why oh WHY am I paying 2 blood for an additional when I have ???
"Once per combat, Mint may burn 2 blood to get an additional strike that does not count against the limit to additional strikes." That would make it worth it.
Monroe
I'm happy to not see too much on the smaller vamps. Nice art.
Mr X
He's happy to see you, and he'd like to show you with his knife... nice.
Nikx
I don't know if I'd use her ability at 2 blood. At 1 blood, I'd consider it.
Oceane Mourchois
Nice enough, I miss see and on !Tor.
Peter
I'm yet to really see great reasons (other than thematic) for grafting on ... but nice enough vampire. Like the artwork.
Plague Doctor
I'll trade Priscus to get .
Red Skull
Seems a little underpriced, but fairly solid. Again with the protean...
Rotted Gentleman
Oh yes please! I don't know if I understand the (especially since plenty of the others are packing ... he'd seem like the right person to be teaching to the younger ones...) but very gooooood.
Samael
Nice vampire. I'd tap that... in my ready region.
Samus
Disciplines out of order, but YAY 6cap with all-in-clan-superiors! YAY!
Sandra
Malks can't bleed enough without built in +bleed???
Scorpion
I'd change it to "Titled Camarilla vampire" but still very good... My kind of Brujah.
Shanon
"When a referendum called by a vampire you control other than Shanon passes Shanon may burn a blood to give you 1 pool from the blood bank." would potentially be better. Bit tired of the "lots of black leather". I got enough BDSM Brujah with Tura Vaughn.
Teeth
Awww he's so leg-munchingly adorable!
The Hill
WOW. AND cheap ??? This Hill will destroy stuff... regularly. Love the "child of Conan and Jeff Martin of The Tea Party Band" look...
Tom Mercer
I'd change it to "Tom may recruit an ally or retainer from your ashheap that requires or costing an additional blood or pool once per turn."
Trevor
Solid. I'd play that vamp.
Tristan
Mariel Lady Thunder Mk2.
"When a minion you control is about to enter combat, you may tap Tristan to deal 2 damage to every minion and retainer in the combat." would be a better text. Still don't know if I'd be paying 7 pool for him though...
Varvara
Varavara gets Ponticulus and the Ankara Citadel... Holy crap YES! Awe for HALF PRICE???? GOLDEN!

Well, put it this way, the last time I saw an 11 cap played that didn't have superior Presence was around 7 sets ago. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'd need to see it in action before I'll be convinced.
My further thoughts on the other cards:
Guillermo Toro
By my reading, as printed, he can burn 4 blood to inflict 2 damage, or 6 for 3 damage, is this deliberate?
If not, or if I'm reading it wrong, than I think 1 blood would be better.
Ildaras
Is there any reason for the phrasing of this card text not to be copied from "Little Tailor of Prague"?
When Ildaras recruits an ally or employs a retainer, the cost is reduced by one blood or pool.
Imre Bach
Should be a 7 cap. Even as a 7 cap, his weak ability and lack of Animilism will probably keep him from seeing much play.
Jenare
A minor niggle only, Is there any reason not to simply say "+1 stealth" on the card instead of that whole sentence?
I know it's copied from Jost, but many vampires since then have been printed with a simple "+1 stealth".
Kanira
She is missing the group symbol, I presume this is an error?
8 points of disciplines and no ability would be more appropriate for a 7 cap (compare Lord Vauxhall or Marge Khan). Most similar cost non-titled vampires have some ability text.
Lady Bing Qing
As Pendargon already said about the text. Also, if you look at the cost of Antonio d`Erlette, he get's his ability basically for free. Lady Bing Qing is paying quite a lot for hers as a 10 cap with no title, only 8 points of disciplines, and no other abilities. +1 bleed might be appropriate to balance it.
Little Linda
".... capacity 2 or less" would be better in my opinion. It's difficult to say an appropriate cost for such an ability without testing.
Lord of Madness
I'm not sure on this one as this is a card that would only ever be used in a deck that was designed around it specifically.
Lucia Cortes
I suspect her ability should be for "Abyssal Hunter", I can't find any card called "Shadow of the Abyss".
I would be inclined to make her ability work with any ally requiring Lasombra or Obtenebration (similar to Little Tailor of Prague's ability) so it could be used with future cards printed.
When Lucia recruits an ally that requires Lasombra or Obtenebration, the cost is reduced by one blood or up to two pool.
Also, I particularly like this artwork
Mad Carrion
I'm not sure about his ability. On the one hand, it doesn't help to put vampires into torpor, on the other hand, it can hurt people he can't normally damage (eg wraiths and people who have played CE). Overall I don't think he's quite worth the cost. Maybe if you dropped the blood cost from his maneuver special.
Marianne
Compare her to other 8 caps with +1 strength, she is missing either a point of disciplines, a minor title, or an ability.
Also, her appearence is completely unacceptable for a Nosferatu
Marius the Gambler
Again I agree with Pendargon about this one. Possibly make it a coin toss instead, which would also answer Karo's 'tie?' question. As his ability can backfire, I'm not sure about the cost. Possibly give him a conditional benefit as well (or drop his cost and give him a conditional drawback).
Mint
As worded, that would count as his additional strike for the round. If this is deliberate, than I think 1 blood would be a fairer cost.
Nikx
Again I think 1 blood would be a fairer cost. Compare this to the abilities on other 7 cap vampires with similar amounts of disciplines and no titles.
Oceane Mourchois
She should be a 9 cap or have an additional ability (compare Marino Reymundo Vasquez or Rachel Brandywine)
Plague Doctor
I'm not sure we need another 6 cap Priscus. No real issue with this card though.
Red Skull
He has the stats of a 6 cap.
Rotted Gentleman
Starting combats with 10 cap vampires is a notoriously bad idea, so I'm not sure if his special is quite good enough. It might be.
Scorpion
Is too expensive for 8 points of disciplines and a conditional rush. See other 9 caps with a built in rush; Massassi and Nangila Were have no restriction, Jacques Molay and Ignazio Giovanni have a restriction but also have +1 strength. All 4 of those have as many or 1 more points of disciplines.
Shanon
I would suggest changing her ability to only work when ready.
The Hill
He is more than a little similar to Mitru the Hunter
Tom Mercer
He should have 1 extra point of discipline if his special can only work once each game. My recommendation is change it to once each turn or add basic Potence.
Trevor McInerny
Should be an Archbishop or have an additional ability.
Tristan
Interesting but her ability is unclear. Is it supposed to be useable in any combat or just combats involving her? I would guess the former but it should be stated. The fact that the damage doesn't happen until after the combat has ended makes her ability difficult to use effectively, so I'm not sure if it's priced correctly.
Varvara Koroleva
Oddly I had the same idea for an ability on a !Tremere, although I had it costing 1 blood to use and gave it a younger non-titled vampire. Nothing really to say about altering this card, just felt like sharing that.
Anyway, as I said, overall I like what you've done here.
The artwork is mostly good, a few I don't particularly like but no worse than on some published cards.
If there's any cards I didn't mention above or in my previous post it's because I think they don't need any modification.
All the above is of course just my opinion and you are free to ignore or disregard it as you wish.
Here are my thoughts, if I didn't comment on a particular one then that one was ok.
Amanda: Overcosted, should either be 9 cap or have +1 bleed.
Amaroo: Overcosted, should be 7 cap.
Amy: Ok, but would prefer if she wouldn't have celerity and just have flat out +1 stealth
Beatrix: Overcosted, would recommend making her archbishop or priscus with flat out +1 intercept.
Berg: I would make the ability only cost 1 blood, but he is about right.
Carles: Too narrow special, remove the having edge requirement and make it just may burn 1 blood to get +1 bleed once per action.
Dame: A bit overcosted, should have superior Thanatosis.
Daniel: A bit overcosted, should be archbishop.
Dascot: Overcosted, should have superior Animalism.
Dean: Needs some work to be useful, I suggest giving him -1 stealth instead of strength, and superior Animalism.
Estrella: Should only take 1 action to remove the counter, its a bit too harsh now.
Flavia: Perhaps a bit undercosted, would likely remove the necromancy.
Guillermo: A bit too weak, make the special either cost 1 blood, or inflict 2 damage, and either way, make it also work on allies.
Ildaras: Too weak, I would recommend making him 8 cap and removing the two base level discplines.
Imre: Overcosted. Should either be 7 cap, or have basic animalism also.
Kanira: Overcosted. Should either be 7 cap or have some decent special.
Lady Bing: Way overcosted, I would suggest making her priscus with +1 bleed, then she would be about right.
Lord of Madness: Way overcosted, should be 8 cap.
Lucia: Overcosted, should be 6 cap, Infernal is serious drawback.
Mad Carrion: Overcosted, the manuever should be free.
Marianne: Slightly overcosted, should be bishop or have some other minor special.
Marius: Overcosted, should be 6 cap.
Mint: Special is way too expensive for a vampire with superior celerity anyway, should be free optional additional strike on first round.
Nikx: Overcosted, should be just flat out +1 intercept all the time.
Red Skull: Overcosted, should be 6 cap.
Rotted Gentleman: Is missing something, would either make him Archbishop/Priscus/Cardinal, or give him +1 strength or bleed.
Scorpion: Too narrow special, should be either 'camarilla vampire' or 'titled vampire' instead of just 'prince'. Also should probably have +1 Strength.
Shanon: Should steal from prey, not predator, and only be from referendums you call.
Tom Mercer: Special shouldn't be once per game, but just have the 'requirements and costs apply' clause, its already 0 stealth action anyway.
Trevor: Should be archbishop
Tristan: Overcosted. Should either be 6 cap or have one more point in discplines.
Varvara: Overcosted, should have +1 bleed.
First thank you very much everyone for the ideas, You have given me some great ideas for editing the vampires.
Mael, I chose 6 group because it is the group that following the 5 as a complement to the crypt 5 and 6, Group 5 and have enough help with the 4. Yes, I like Black Hand but I I don´t know very well and I preferer create pure Sabbat.
Juggernaut1981, I like Kindred Madman for Connected to the madness ^^, you are right, we should put a name to Lord of Madness, any suggestions?
and changes:
Amanda: “Sabbat Cardinal: If Amanda is ready during your discard phase, Amanda may burn 2 blood to discard two additional card.”
Amaroo- :: :: :: :: "Sabbat: +1 bleed"
Dame: :: ::
Guillermo Toro "Sabbat: If Guillermo is ready and you are being bleed by a younger vampire Guillermo may burn 1 blood to inflict 1 damage on the acting vampire, if the acting is a Ally Guillermo may burn 2 blood to inflict 1 damage on this acting minion."
Irme Bach: "Sabbat Archishop of Berlin: Irme Bach gets +1 bleed when bleeding a Methuselah who controls a ready Ventrue.

Dascot thousand arms-
Estrella- "Sabbat: Estrella may put a shadow counter on a vampire controlled by your predator or prey as a action. That vampire may burn the shadow conster as an action; When a vampire with a shadow counter declares an action, they transfer 1 blood to Estrella. +2 bleed".

Mint- "Once per combat, Mint may burn 2 blood to get an additional strike that does not count against the limit to additional strikes." That was my original idea was I wrote it because so
Nikx- "Sabbat: Once each action, Nikx may burn 1 blood to get +1 intercept and optional maneuver if the block is successful"
Red Skull - ---- I reviewed the collection I noticed that there are too nosfis with protean jejeje
Shanon- "Sabbat: When a referendum called by a vampire you control other than Shanon passes Shanon may burn a blood to give you 1 pool from the blood bank."

Mad Carrion: After combat with Mad Carrion, the opposing VAMPIRE burn 1 blood. Mad Carrion gets an optional maneuver in the first rond of combat.
Camarilla Prince of Jaen
Just as a general thing, I know this is not a "child's theme game" but can we keep the boobs out? I dunno, I just tend to find that 'showing a lot' on CCG cards just makes it feel tacky and not dark/black/horror.
Retired Baron of Sydney, Australia, 418
Dolphin Black disagrees.
I think it's more about what makes a card fit in the WoD rather than what makes itnot belong to that place.
Leather, darkness, fangs, pale aspect => good
shiny, cute, in the daylight => not exactly the best artwork
I understand Pascal that there are plenty of "not PG" vampire cards out there. Dolphin, Gabrielle di Righetti, etc. I just really dislike the more blatant end of it (e.g. Gabrielle) like the art that Inyor has chosen for Shadow of the Abyss. I think it could be done more effectively without having breasts front-and-centre of the artwork. Feels a bit tacky.

What's your problem? These boobs are all out already
Maybe the problem is not so much the boobs themselves than them being the only clear part of the image. Talk about a focal point...
Yeah, its got more of a "wierd porn" feel than "boobs in art". I'm not saying I don't mind the odd boob in Art (go Picasso, Rembrandt and who-ever met that Milo chick...) but I just don't think I should have 'wierd porn' on my CCG cards. I can deal with "FWAR HOT" but if I couldn't show it to coworkers without them sniggling or being shocked... I think its a bridge too far.
Retired Baron of Sydney, Australia, 418
The original illustration is worse jeje:
fc01.deviantart.net/fs41/f/2009/011/2/1/nightmare_by_czarnystefan.jpg
But I think the illustration on the card is not porn. It represents a demon seizing prey helpless and defenseless, but if it is true that the illustration may upset someone, I will seek an alternative illustration.
I like two illustration of Krindred Madmen.
I don´t like the name of Lord of Madness, I had thought of a more exotic name:
-Dorian
-Artyom
-Ender
-Azad
-Alaric
for example...
The illustration of Lord,i see too exaggerated, and reminds me too much Joker
If your text is "move up 2 blood", he should be . His text is designed for Madmen Kindred are free
Camarilla Prince of Jaen
The main reason for having it as 2 blood is that it will basically make him close to a Malkavian Menele. He potentially might need some more discipline points, but I don't think you should automatically get out a minion to work with this guy's text every turn.
I was tossing up between Karl and Sigmund. Tried not to head for the rediculous and crazy.
Retired Baron of Sydney, Australia, 418
I don't see a problem with him moving 3 blood with how much he is paying from it as apart from that ability, he is totally crap as 10 cap. Also he doesn't really have any easy ways of regaining blood, so he will dry up fairly soon.
Don't take this the wrong way, but you seem to be attempting to push the powercurve up. I really have a major problem with power-creep in a game that ostensibly is supposed to allow any grouping of vampires to compete with each other.
Regarding Karl in particular...
He suddenly negates the drawback of a potentially large number of non-unique vampires and can influence out those at a rate of 1 per turn (without using transfers). There are plenty of ways to pump up his blood regain rate... The Rack for starters. He'd have the ability to defend it and with all of those little Madmen around, he could hit for 4+ without playing a card. I think he's more dangerous than he seems purely because he is the star of his own deck, like the Unnamed is. Consequently, I can concede he should probably have more disciplines (maybe or or even ... at some mixture) but I don't think he should be less than a 10-cap.

Get a grip, look at the power level of vampires from KoT first. Why sabbat should have it worse?
Sabbat.Black Hand Shakar: Lech loathe ranged weapons. Once each action, he may burn 1 blood to become Camarilla Prince of Krakow until the end of the action.

That's about it ? Those are vampires, and they are crazy good.
What about Gerald Windham ? He is not even titled.
Sabbat.Black Hand Shakar: Lech loathe ranged weapons. Once each action, he may burn 1 blood to become Camarilla Prince of Krakow until the end of the action.
Because thaumaturgy would at least give him some versatility with access to stuff like rutors hand and magic of the smith. Generally 10 caps without titles or multiacting possibilities don't see much use.

Well the justicars, ICs, and princes are already like what, third of all the vampires in KoT? Thats lot more powerful vampires than in most sets.
Cheap Primogen like Gem Ghastly and that 4-cap Brujah.
The 5-cap Tremere that can get Prince titles.
Voshkov the Eye.
KoT vampire are generally quite good.

Rachel Brandywine
The Unnamed
Cesewayo
are three vampires that immediately come to mind that are fairly large cap, tend to have star-type decks built around them and can be devastating in most environments. I'd see the "Lord of Madness" + Kindred Madmen as a very dangerous combination, especially since there are a number of ways to keep pumping blood onto a star minion (Giant's Blood, HGs, Rack, Palatial Estate, etc)... and with the Lord of Madness having a "Menele" text that results in you basically buying 1 minion and bloating out most of the rest without spending pool (or spending it and gaining it back).
So I'd be worried about too much multi-acting ability on such a vampire. Protean may allow him to get 'out of jail' with Earth Melds, or adding to the bruise & bleed nature of the vampire with VIC.
Retired Baron of Sydney, Australia, 418
Casewayo can get Rutors.
But yeah, in-built three to the uncontrolled is hugely powerful. In essence you end up paying very little pool for the guy and he accelerates the rest of the crypt.
OTOH splashing VIC or PRO doesn't seem very productive most of the time while I splashing Rutors and Magic of the Smith is viable, so if the wish was to make him more powerful, I don't see VIC or PRO really doing that. Especially not VIC.
And how often do you see Cesewayo playing Rutor's Hand? Why would he ever need to because instead he can get No Secrets from the Magaji and basically never care about untap again.
But the thing I want to avoid is making him super-poweful, and giving him the ability to use THA theft (and other THA tech) seems like you'd be setting him up far too well. Giving him access to a Homonculus seems dangerous but not insane. Giving him access to VIC seems to just make blocking him strictly more dangerous than taking three or four Kindred Madmen to the face... (especially if you decide to do things like use Hidden Lurker on the little nutters).

So in other words, you want to make him suck as much as possible?
And any kind of deck that actually wants to you know, do stuff forward, wants rutors hand on Cese so he can do two actions a turn.
Body Flare, Carrion Coffin, Claws of the Dead, Earth Meld, Form of Mist, Homunculus, Rapid Change.
Chiropteran Marauder, Horrid Form, Soul Decoration!!!!,
Blood Fury, Blood Rage, Magic of the Smith, Perfect Clarity, Rutor`s Hand, Wind Dance, Biothaumaturgic Experiment, Rego Motus.
these are the cards that could play with these disciplines, the first you can play aggravated damage, Homunculus and Eart Meld, these last cards are perfect for perform many actions in your turn, the second you can play aggravated damage and may play Soul Decoration is a good card, the third is much "stronger" because you can play
"damage cannot be prevented by cards that require Fortitude", search equipment, multiaction, anti-deflection, and prevention.
You remember, if you tap 4 Kindred Madmen, Lord´s strength is +4, +torn +slam= 8 damage!! if you play blood fury...
Camarilla Prince of Jaen
Body flare, Claws of the Dead, Earth Meld, Flesh of Marble, Form of Mist, Homonculus, Rapid Change, Wolf Claws.
Blood of Acid, Body Arsenal, Chiropteran Marauder, Horrid Form, Soul Decoration
Blood Fury, Blood of Sandman, Blood Rage, Crimeth Inc, Flames of the Netherworld, Magic of the Smith, Perfect Clarity, Rutor's Hand, Rego Motus, Weather Control.
There is a LOT of additional firepower in , but the question was never "Is THA powerful" but "Should a powerful vampire get the additional power of compared with getting or and potentially fitting into other deck types.
Retired Baron of Sydney, Australia, 418
I don't see him as a powerful vampire, I see him as a 10 cap with no title or multiacting capabilities and thus likely to be wallpaper that never gets played.
And I entirely disagree with your myopic perception of this particular large-cap vampire.
The Rachel Brandywine decks, the Unnamed decks and Cesewayo decks don't really 'multiact' with classic multiacting disciplines. The Unnamed and Rachel in particular run Homonculus specifically for untapping out of turn. Your bald assertion that you'd never run a deck with a 10-cap without Fortitude (basically) just highlights the narrow view you have on power in this game.
Retired Baron of Sydney, Australia, 418
I'm a bit late, but first I'd like to say thumbs up for the art choice. There are some slight wording mistakes and from what I read there's already been some adjustments, so I won't comment the cards themselves (unless a new version is posted). But from a general point of view, all seemed very balanced. Great job!

I agree with Klaital's sentiment, if not his rhetoric. Spending 10 pool and transfers to get a free 3-cap with no superior disciplines once per turn isn't that great. 10-caps need to be pretty special before they see play. Maybe you should give him OBF and have Kindred Madmen hand out optional rushes to him in addition to the +1 strength.
They can hand the strength to ANY !Mak (read the text carefully) AND they're Non-Unique so you can have big swarms of them like the Hordes or the Mexico Circle. Make sure you take that into account when you look at the interaction between the two. I'd still advocate that any change should be

I politely disagree with you, and i think, so do these 10-caps which i have seen regularly played for their disciplines and titles alone, and their text as a cornercase thing :
Angelica, The Canonicus
Ayelea, The Manipulator
Lucian
Nefertiti
Ulugh Beg, The Watcher
Lucinde Alastor
Madame Guil
Marcus Vitel,
Rachel Brandywine
Luca Italicus,
Melinda Galbraith
Servius Marius Pustula
Unmada
Alonso Petrodon
And i guess, a few others...

Each of those vampires has title of at least 2 votes, most of them are princes or jusicars (hello 2nd tradition and parity shift). The whole point of where this argument started from is that the lord of madness as he is now with crap discplines, no title, no +bleed, and nothing terribly interesting to make up for those lacks, is a total wallpaper vampire. If you make him say a cardinal, he would already look much more interesting.
EDIT: Well, Nefertiti and Servius don't have titles, Nefertiti has DOM and +1 bleed though (and has quite a lot of friends with dominate in the group 2 setites also), Servius imo just sucks.

Well
Angelica, The Canonicus - 3 votes
Ayelea, The Manipulator - 3 votes
Lucian 3 votes
Nefertiti +1 bleed, yeah - DOM
Ulugh Beg, The Watcher - 3 votes
Lucinde Alastor - 3 votes, obf
Madame Guil - 3 votes, for
Marcus Vitel, - 2 votes, OBF
Rachel Brandywine - 2 votes, great special, PRO
Luca Italicus, - the fuck ? who play this crap ?
Melinda Galbraith - same as above
Servius Marius Pustula - say what ?
Unmada - 3 votes
Alonso Petrodon - 3 votes, DOM
Most of those is played for votes and special, few for disciplines.

I would change his special from move 2 blood to any !malk to move 2 blood to any vampire with dementation, which would be quite flavorful with his name.
