Building a Beginner’s Deck: Assamites
June 6, 2011 3 Comments
Occasionally, I go up to UNCC and play games on Friday nights with the student gaming guild. Several years ago I donated a few thousand VTES cards to the guild with the hopes of forming a little VTES group up there. It worked for about six months – we had a semi-regular group meet and play VTES at the guild meet ups. But for the club organizers, it was a hassle to bring all those card boxes up to the campus each week, along with all the other board games, RPG books, videos, etc. So in the end I got the cards back.
Summer is here now, so for the upcoming Fall, I was going to donate a box of eight decks. A simple starter display box with eight different clan starters inside. Something easy and small for them to bring to the meet ups.
But I don’t want to just use regular starters, so in the spirit of Atomweaver’s Deck Building Challenge, I was going to refine each starter deck, making it both easier to play and more competitive. I’m going to build these decks from cards by mixing two (or more) starter decks together.
I’m starting off this series with the Assamite Preconstructed Starter from Lords of the Night.
I anticipate all these decks will be a little tool-boxy, with bleed, combat and reaction. So far in this first attempt, I combined some cards from two Assamite LoN Starters along with a few cards from the Toreador Starter from Keepers of Tradition.
Here is my first draft:

Know Your Kindred – Ankh-sen-Sutekh
May 27, 2011 Leave a comment
Name: Ankh-sen-Sutekh
Clan: Followers of Set
Generation; 8th
Embrace: 1315
Ankh-sen-Sutekh (literally meaning “She-Lives-For-Sutekh”) is a highly skilled sorceress for hire.
Having devoted her existence to exposing the flaws of civilization and bringing about the return of Set, Ankh-sen-Sutekh operates out of Alexandria, selling her magical talents to the highest bidder. She used the money, boons and contacts from her mercenary work to help create a network of spies and assassins, spanning the entire Mediterranean.
In life, she was originally a slave working in one of the great temples of Set. Ankh-sen-Sutekh was destined to be just another blood doll until her sire recognized her potential and Embraced her.
She spent the first part of her unlife studying Setite teachings: that civilization was a tool of Osiris against Set. That all Setites must strive towards destroying civilization and awakening their dark god. In addition, Ankh-sen-Sutekh was tutored in the Akhu style of religious magic practiced by her clan.
Ankh-sen-Sutekh is a small woman with black hair and intense eyes. She dresses more conservatively, unless she is involved in her magic, in which case she dresses like an Egyptian priestess of old. Despite her small size, she radiates an almost palpable aura of power.
