I got question about sniper's roost.
The card says that any runner may assist in a shadowrun but does not turn
nor may he take damage. But imagine I have Marek who has firearms and
sorcery, can he use Hellblast to assist the run ?

(This is one card that I think deserves an overhaul, though Fuchi and
the Z-zone need it more.)

Sure, Marek can use Hellblast. In fact, given the drawbacks of the
spell, it's probably *best* to use Marek this way. (Hmm. Use
Hellblast, then pump Marek further!)

"Runner cannot be damaged" --- from Challenges. Obviously, if Tempest
sets off fireworks, the Runner in question is gonna be hurting.

No, he is not "present" on the run or in the combat thus his spell
would not affect the challenge. Sniper's Roost is a special situation
allowing a non-present runner to act upon the challenge's the running
team faces.

Actually I withdraw my above comment.

Sniper Roost
Description: 4¥. Streetwise. May be used by an unturned Runner with
Firearms in your Safehouse to assist a shadowrun. This Runner does not
turn and cannot be damaged. Each time Sniper Roost is used, roll D6.
On 5+, trash Sniper Roost and the Runner using it. Cannot be used
against Indoor Challenges.

Taking a look at the wording of the card, Marek would be able to use
his spell to assist the combat as you'd first asked. Seeing as how he
meets the requirement of also having a firearms skill.

Generic mail to FASA can go by way of FASACorp2@***.com .

Typically speaking, individual FASA members have their own email;
however, FASAMike is Mike Mulvihill, not Mike Nielsen, and I don't
believe there is a FASAJim for Jim Nelson.

Skuzzy has his own personal email address, although I can't find it at
the moment.

Ummm.. what sort of questions? I can probably answer most of them,
although you might want to send some questions private email (ie, how do
I get a card named after me ;) or doing playtesting, or what-have-you.)

The public link for sending email from their (FASA's) SRTCG page uses
the address fasacorp2@***.com

That is assuming you mean email by "a letter." If you need a physical
snail mail address I can pull that up too but it'll take a little
longer.

With the Squatter contact it says "For every bottle of booze (5 nuyen per
bottle) that you buy Squatter, you may retrieve any non special card from
your trash. Does retrieve mean to go back in your hand and be re-deployed
at full cost, or to be re-deployed immediately at no cost?
Maybe my wishful thinking is clouding my judgement, but it could be taken
either way. Sorry if this is old news.

Hmmm. Never heard that uestion before, we've always assumed that it meant
return to your hand, otherwise it could easily be abused. You could throw a
Lord Torgo out of your hand and then pay five yen to put him into play.

Since it never specifically says to put it into play, I'd assume it goes to your hand.
Mr. johnson and Mr. Black both specifically say to put it into play at no cost.
