Vampire the Eternal Struggle
Throughout the world, Methuselahs manipulate their minions (mortals as well as younger vampires) to frustrate the designs of the other Methuselahs, just as they have for as long as they can remember. These eternal struggles, sometimes covert and subtle, sometimes open and spectacular, are collectively known as the Jyhad.
Predators and prey alike are invited to an evening of political intrigue, manipulation and
back-stabbing. While the event will not be sanctioned we will be making use of the official The
Vampire: Elder Kindred Network (V:EKN) Tournament Rules which can be found at:
http://www.white-wolf.com/VTES/veknRules.html
The more important of these are listed below for those unable to familiarise themselves with the full extent of the rules prior to the tournament:
- Decks must contain a minimum of sixty cards and a maximum of ninety cards. The crypt must contain a minimum of twelve cards.
- All cards in a player's deck must be genuine Vampire: The Eternal Struggle or Jyhad cards. If Jyhad and Vampire: The Eternal Struggle cards are both used, in order to prevent a significant advantage, all cards from the Jyhad or Vampire: The Eternal Struggle card sets must be of sufficiently mixed card type - that is, Master cards must appear with both Jyhad and V:TES card backs (or at least three different card types must have Jyhad backs).
- The following cards are banned for the purposes of the tournament:
- Madness of the Bard (Dark Sovereigns)
- The Return to Innocence (Ancient Hearts)
- Any cards that are usable only when playing for ante, including:
- Cunctator Motion (V:TES)
- High Stakes (V:TES)
- Playing for Keeps (Dark Sovereigns)
You will note that there are no restrictions on the number of copies of a given card you may play in your deck.
Most importantly, expect to finish late as we will be accommodating two two-hour rounds of swiss followed by a final deciding round from which the victor will emerge.
The Vampire tournament will be overseen by Ryan Kruger.
