Can anyone tell me what these cards are exactly, I'm assuming they are the
ones from the srtcg magazine adverts.

Plus if anyone has spare copies of them, I'd definately be interested in
getting hold of them. So send a list of what you would want in return for
them and I'll see what I can do.

The SRTCG Ad Cards were distributed by FASA to gaming stores, convention
organizers, et al. as a means of promotion. There are three American
cards; one featuring Dr. Apocalypse ("The Shadowrun Trading Card Game is
Insane!"), one with the Guardian Dracoform ("Shoot Straight. Watch Your
Back. And Never Let The Dragon Deal."), and the last with the
Skillsoft: Gunnery illo ("Don't Kid Yourself. Size Matters.")

In addition, there were three German ad cards distributed (although I
think some of them were duplicates of the American version); I dimly
recall one being the Chipjack-3 illo. Felix, Duncan, Ivo, Jens - any
help?

No different cards in German, just translations from American. ---Felix
