Preview for "Lords of the Night" has started

Finally the preview for the next VtES expansion "Lords of the Night" has begun. And it was about time, for about two weeks I've been checking the preview page two times daily. You can check the complete preview page at the White Wolf homepage here.

The first preview card is the Setite vampire "Nakhthorheb". A hefty 10-cap without any out-of-clan disciplines or any title, but the special ability almost(?) makes it up for it. The untap once per minion phase is great, as well the ability to bypass minions with corruptions counters. So the combo goes: place "Corruption" on a minion, use "Forgotten Labyrinth" if necessary. Next, untap and go bleeding, oooh you cannot block anymore. Or even better than "Coruption", use the new "Revelation of Ecstasy" card (see card text below). Another combo would be playing "Legal Manipulations", and followed by an "Enticement". Only the +1 strength seems to be little off, I would have preferred a title (1 or 2 votes) instead.

Also the "Game Trade" magazine has featured a preview article with some new information, at least more realible than that from the french "Mana Rouge" magazine some weeks ago.
