Only four of us for this, so after a quick draft of 3rd Edition boosters we cracked on.

Stevan !Tremere > Paul Gargoyle/Tremere > Graham !Salubri/!Ventrue > Sam Brujah.

A brutal game to be sure, with minions regularly going to torpor. Graham bled into me, and had two bashed down. I went forward into Stevan and repeatedly beat Janine into torpor, however she Recured herself at least twice. Stevan also had a hunting ground which kept him healthy. Meanwhile Paul built up and tried a few little bleeds, mostly swapping to Cedric when blocked. However Graham kept him at arms length with his manoeuvres! Paul then played Smiling Jack, which had won him the previous game – this time Graham quickly removed it.
I then sent Crusher into the fray, armed with a Bundi and he cut a bloody swathe through Stevans minions with all of them ending in torpor. Crusher continued his assault into Paul, whos hand had been revealed by the !Salubri and their blocking attempts. This meant there was no Fortitude to worry about, and the beats could continue. I then bled Stevan out with Public Trusts and set about Paul with new recruit Tomaine. Paul struggled but the damage was done and he was ousted with Graham following soon after – his one remaining active minion not enough to save him.

I take the top spot with the best win ratio, although am sure that will change soon enough. Hopefully we can get five players next week for more of the same – boosters to add!
