Why did Obama pick the name Renegade? Have you seen this vampire game made by Renegade Game Studios? It was originally called Jyhad.

 

In 1994, Magic: The Gathering designer Richard Garfield released his second collectible card game, the questionably named Jyhad. Inspired by White Wolf’s Vampire: The Masquerade tabletop RPG, Jyhad was renamed the following year to Vampire: The Eternal Struggle to make that connection clearer and remove the religious implications.

 

While Magic: The Gathering remains the leading CCG today, Vampire: The Eternal Struggle largely faded into obscurity as interest in its source material waned in the 2000s. But when Paradox Interactive bought White Wolf in 2015, they began aggressively licensing the IP. Vampire: The Masquerade is making a resurgence with a new tabletop RPG rules set and several video game adaptations in the works. Even The Eternal Struggle is back, with Black Chantry Productions producing new cards and republishing old sets. Renegade Game Studios is taking a new approach to letting players build decks representing clans of scheming vampires by developing the Vampire: The Masquerade Expandable Card Game.

 

Scott Gaeta, president and publisher of Renegade Game Studios, said he’d been pursuing the V:TM license for nearly a decade but was finally able to get a deal when Paradox Interactive bought White Wolf in 2015. Gaeta said he reached out to the studio behind video games including Age of Wonders: Planetfall and Cities: Skylines and found that they were already familiar with his work on other card games including Yu-Gi-Oh! and the World of Warcraft CCG. They agreed to move forward with developing a new V:TM card game, which will release at GenCon in 2020.
