EnglishWhat is the Forum der deutschen VTES-Community (forum.vekn.de)?
Updated
forum.vekn.de is the discussion board of the German-language VTES (Vampire: The Eternal Struggle) community. It is a phpBB-style forum where German-speaking players introduce themselves, look for opponents, ask rules questions, discuss strategy, share resources, and trade cards. The board is organized into a handful of top-level sections, and the visible activity shows it is still in use, with posts dated into 2026.
Who it is for
The forum is aimed at players in German-speaking countries and anyone comfortable reading German. The board index is written in German, and the section names are German, so it is not primarily an English-language resource. New or interested players get their own entry point, and there are separate areas for people searching for players or official contacts.
Main sections
The board index groups topics into a few areas. The table below summarizes what each one is for, based on the section descriptions and post counts shown on the index.
| Section | Purpose | Visible activity |
|---|---|---|
| Info für neue Spieler / Info for new players | Welcome material and first information for new or interested players; also a place to introduce yourself and to search for players or official contacts | Several sub-boards, including "Neue Forenmitglieder" with 17 topics and 92 posts |
| Allgemeines | General V:TES discussion, including news about upcoming products, plus resources such as websites, deck-building tools, proxy tools and rulebooks | "V:TES Allgemein" shows 300 topics and 1,937 posts; "Ressourcen" 18 topics and 113 posts |
| Succubus Club | Trading, buying and selling VTES cards, including links to web shops | 19 topics and 35 posts |
| Allgemeines VTES Foren Archiv | Archived general VTES forum content | 1,068 topics and 15,694 posts, last post dated 28 Apr 2022 |
| Beratung | Advice sections, including rules questions and strategy and tactics | "Regelfragen" shows 723 topics and 5,037 posts |
The index also lists quick links for unanswered topics, active topics, search, FAQ, contact, login and register.
What you can actually do there
- Ask a rules question. The "Regelfragen" board is the largest active advice section by post count, with recent replies visible on the index.
- Get deck and play advice. "Strategie und Taktik" is described as a place to exchange experience on how to play and win.
- Find opponents or contacts. The new-players area includes a board specifically for searching for players or official contacts.
- Introduce yourself. "Neue Forenmitglieder" invites new members to post an introduction.
- Trade cards. The Succubus Club handles exchange, buying and selling, with links to web shops.
- Find tools and references. The "Ressourcen" board collects VTES websites, deck-building tools, proxy tools and rulebooks.
Practical notes
The forum uses standard board software conventions: you can read topics without an account, but posting, searching as a logged-in user, and contacting other members generally require registering and logging in. The index shows a login and register link, and a contact link.
Language is the main barrier for non-German speakers. Section titles and descriptions are in German, and discussion is conducted in German. If you only read English, you can still navigate by structure, but you will get more out of it if you can read German or are willing to use translation.
Activity is uneven. Some boards are busy (general discussion and rules questions), while others are quiet (the trade board has only a few dozen posts). The archived general forum is closed to new activity, with its last post in April 2022, so treat it as a reference rather than a place to start new threads.
When to use it
Use forum.vekn.de if you play VTES in German, want rules or strategy answers from German-speaking players, are looking for a playgroup or contact in that region, or want to buy, sell or trade cards within that community. If you need English-language VTES discussion, this board is not the right fit, and you would be better served by an English-language community.
