Fifth Edition: Lasombra

For clan Lasombra, the only way to survive is to excel, to eschew sympathy and morality where it may impede the path to power. They seek more than the simple life, choosing to fight against the odds and to strive for the pinnacle of excellence. Sociopaths, counter-culturalists, and scarred survivors all find common ground in clan Lasombra.

This deck is about power and manipulation. Your vampires use their powers of Dominate to gain influence and subdue those who oppose you. They keep their motives hidden with the powers of Oblivion, seeing the darkness from the other side and coming back stronger.

This is a deck with 77 library cards and 12 crypt cards, ready for play out of the box or customizable with other Vampire: The Eternal Struggle cards. Each player needs a deck to play.

Languages: English, French, Spanish

• New cards are being produced! Not only the 30th Anniversary deck! Right now cards from the Fifth Edition Lasombra preconstructed deck are being previewed, so make sure to follow Black Chantry in social media or at least peek into the Lasombra product page now and then. Some fresh spoilers:

For Araceli “Celia” Rivera we once again thank Ken Meyer Jr for joining the artist team behind a new set of VTES cards – poignant illustrations in his own style as usual. You find Celia in the Fifth Edition Chicago by Night book.

For Ominous Chorus we thank Anastasiia Horbunova for the creepy art. Last up was Camarilla's Iron Fist, now she is really hitting it again. Note that this card is a clan card, thus playable by any Lasombra regardless of capacity and disciplines, even little Celia can do it. And its both an action modifier and a reaction!

More previews are coming - follow Black Chantry Productions in social media.

• Preview season of the Fifth Edition Lasombra preconstructed deck set for October release is ongoing. If all goes well those of you that visit the Spiel game fair in Essen, Germany will be able to get your copies there.

• The (hopefully) last round of playtesting of the Hecata preconstructed deck as well as the five 54-card New Blood packs for Hecata, Lasombra, Ravnos, Salubri and Tzimisce concluded on August 31. Now the answers from the playtesters will be analysed and the last tweaks will be made.

Same card, different name: Puppet Master

The card Puppet Master appears in the upcoming Vampire: The Eternal Struggle Fifth Edition Lasombra preconstructed deck. This is to be considered as the same card as the previously printed card Mind Rape. The old card is still legal for tournament play.
