Now that I've had some time to look carefully at this set pictures and flavour text, I've found some references on them to a brujah prince called Tara (Flurry of action, scattershot) and another brujah called jack something. As it's clear that no brujah prince has been printed in this set, anybody knows who this prince is? thanks in advance Smiling Tom

[ quoted text not captured ] San Diego. Not San Fransisco. My bad. In 1944 when the Anarch Revolt began Tara came from Texas to assist in San Diego with her 13 Brujah fighters. Los Angeles belongs (as much as it can belong to someone) to Jeremy MacNeil, father of the revolt. [ quoted text not captured ]

[ quoted text not captured ] She appeared in Los Angeles by Night, as the other poster noted, but Tara has always been associated with San Francisco. LA is Jeremy MacNeil's turf. Hopefully we'll get Tara in an upcoming set. I'd expect a basic version with no title, advanced as an Anarch Baron and merged as Prince of San Francisco. Until then, I suggest you proxy her with your unused copies of Tara, the Hollow One (Mage). Matt Morgan

[ quoted text not captured ] She appears and dies as the Camarilla prince of Los Angeles in the Gehenna novel from ww. Her childe (i think) was left to take care of San Diego and Jeremy MacNeil is dead at this point. FC

In the Gehenna novel, she goes to L.A. to help in the war against the Anarchs and Thin-Bloods. She is one of those few "do it yourself" Princes hehe... She gets her hands dirty, kills a lot of Anarchs, has most of her primogen destroyed, escapes from Anarch ambushes and manages to resist quite some time before the lame Withering hits her and she is gunned down by Anarchs. Definately deserves a card in future expansions! :)

He's the former Prince of San Diego, now current Prince of LA. She was sent to LA by the Camarilla after the old Prince of LA was assinated to get rid of the Anarchs trying to take the city back over. I was surprised to not see her included in the set, as well as Hardestadt, Jenna Cross, Okulos, the Nos Archon Federico, and a few other Gehenna related characters. *Spoiler* *Spoiler**Spoiler**Spoiler**Spoiler* Tara was killed by Jenna Cross's gang in a shoot out on the roof of a skyscrapper in downtown LA. Tara went there to meet with a Kindred of the East, named 4 Winds Conspire, to discuss uniting to defeat the Anarchs, but 4 Winds betrayed Tara and allowed Jenna's gang to trap her on the roof. They shot her down with their rifles, and since the Withering had taken it's effect over Tara, she was unable to outrun them. Bullets riddled her face, torso and pelvis until the momentum of the shots pushed her body off the edge of the building, where she landed flat on the sidewalk below. www.charlottebynight.com "Smiling Tom" <tma...@almadrava.net> wrote in message news:<2hlpf8F...@uni-berlin.de>... > a brujah prince called > Tara...

Quick geography lesson and rant: Northern California = San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, Sacramento Southern California = Los Angeles, San Diego, Hollywood, Santa Barbara Ne'er the twain shall freak. And there's always that vast wasteland called the Central Valley too. ;) I don't really know the background, but I have always been rather surprised that San Francisco isn't terribly well represented in the VtM materials that I have seen. I'm sure there's more to it than meets the eye, but we have a ton of hardcore gamers up here doing the LARP thing every weekend. How significant is San Francisco By Night (2002) for Kindred of the East?

The show Kindred: the Embraced was based in San Francisco. Many of the earlier novels and short stories (not just V:tM based) were also based in San Fran, such as "The Beast Within", "Dark Destiny", "Prince of the City", and many more. Not sure about the actual V:tM reference material though. I don't think there's a lot. Detroit has also been sadly neglected by White Wolf, except for a few short mentions. I always wanted to see a Detroit by Night sourcebook, featuring the Sabbat. It's already the perfect Sabbat city, without any embellishing. Cheers, WES

More Black Dog game books would have been cool. It was always kinda sad that the only real sabbat guide book was Montreal by Night, as Montreal was unusual in several respects. -JTP

"Wes" <gh...@NYETSPAMmnsi.net> wrote in message news:c98t5...@enews1.newsguy.com... [ quoted text not captured ] The Predator & Prey: Noun series consisted of 6 books and focused on Hunters and their prey in some smallish city in Michigan. I forget the name of the city and whether it was real or imagined for the novels. IIRC, in the one LSJ is referring to, some Campires get sent to Detroit on some sort of mission that gets them involved with the Sabbat and with a Sabbat infiltrator to the Cam. Another book had a decent Pentex subplot with a bunch of Garou. The series wasn't one of WW's best, but it was ok. Some of the Hunter characters were pretty interesting. The last bunch of Dark Ages Clan Novels (Brujah, Toreador, Gangrel, Tremere) have been really good, IMO, as was the Gehenna novel. The Gehenna novel stands alone and gives good background to a lot of the cards in the Gehenna set. - Pat

Detroit is just controled by the nosferatu, and like to keep things in house and quiet...beast kind of quiet. -- The Nosferatu Stuff
