I have a question. Does anyone know what will be out of print on the second
run of shadowrun? I am wondering with the 2nd run if they're planning on
doing something like that?

Well, iirc, there was a message a long while back (February or March) in
which Jim or Mike said there'd be about forty or so new cards for Second
Run; presumably, an equal number would drop out.

An equally faint memory is that most of the Prime Runners would change
with each "Run", which would account for a dozen or so cards. However,
everyone has heard about New Torgo, so that is probably at least partly
false.

What I think would be a cool idea: Wait until the "Seattle 2" sourcebook
is released, tie the Second Run heavily into that. This would allow for
lots of new Locations (like, a better Festerin' Tusk) and provide a bit
of "storyline" for those really into the cards. It'd probably generate
a fair amount of crossover purchases (from the RPG into the CCG and
vice-versa) as well as grab new players who started gaming with SR3.
