So Revised had a glut of things that were specific to certain Clans or Sects. Some of this has been reprinted, some of this has not.
Currently, there is a book being created that will offer an updated system for most (or all) of the Clan stuff that you know and love. Included in this flavor text/crunch we are expecting:
* Malk Time
* Nos Info Network
* Spawning Pools
* A metric ton of Merits/Flaws
* Combo Disciplines
* Possibly unique backgrounds.
Not all of the old stuff will be ported into V20; there's just too much material to cover. Anything that doesn't make the cut (by being printed in the big Clan Book thingie scheduled for print in January) won't be included in EC. Players can expect most of the elements of those books to be in play close of January. If Staff reviews something and decides that it isn't a good fit for stuff, we'll post about that stuff as they come up.
Until that book is released, however, these things are 'things that aren't things'. That is to say, Malk Time for instance, is totally a thing that exists in the world, but isn't currently accessible. The Nosferatu certainly have a network of computers and information is traded along it, but there isn't a system for it right now. Yes, that does make some of these clans somewhat more tricky to play. I'm sympathetic to the plight, but I'm asking everyone to be patient. I said at the start of this thing that I largely wouldn't be using anything outside of V20 and I mean that. So, until these items are printed in V20, I'm not going to worry about them.
During that month of play, we will offer unique opportunities to buy some of these items when we normally wouldn't offer this chance. Common Rarities will have chances to purchase items first, then Uncommons, then Rare, and so on. It is entirely possible that some of these or all of these items will find their way onto limited lists in some way. Existing characters will be given preference before characters starting in January in the spirit of fairness.
Otherwise, all normal limitations will be enforced normally.
