Hideo neighbors...

I was wondering if anyone had a list of the cards in the demo decks...
Kind of want to use them for my demo I'm running this weekend.

Please forward the card list to me...

Hello, people. I usuallu lurk here, but I need your help now. I'm putting
together a couple of decks to teach friends how to play Shadowrun (given
that I have all these cards from trying to complete a set). Here's wher I
need your help:

I'm looking to make 2 or 3 decks made up of all commons and uncommons, no
rares. They don't need to be tourney-caliber, but they should be good
enough to teach the game and it's aspects and mechanics. Can you help me?

You can email me directly or post to the list, as I'm sure there are
others that (maybe) would appreciate this kind of info.
Thanks a lot!

Till paths meet,

Honestly, open up a deck and a booster take out any unusable cards (ie Chip
Jacks, Skill Softs) Make sure the deck has enough objectives and doesn't
duplicate cards more then 4 times. Theme the deck a little by taking out
programs, spells, drones, or hard to use guns, depending on the available
runner pool for each deck. I found that these make the best demo decks
around. They aren't artificially generated to contain 4 of this, that, or the
other so you can get a good feel for the different cards. You can even theme
them a little more and call them a Mage Deck, Decker Deck, Rigger Deck, Troll
Deck etc.... Have seen decks like this beat tournament decks in a multi-
player game. </HTML>

Here's a revised version of a deck I put together for when friends
come over and don't happen to have a deck of their own to play with.
It consists primarily of commons with a few uncommons tossed in for
flavor.

"(Un)common Occurrences"
70 cards + 6 Obj.

RUNNERS (20)
Shasta x4
Ajax x2
Tinkerbell x2
Kromagnus x4
Glitz x4
Gore Tusk
Stomper
Red Widow
Sam the Sleuth

GEAR (10)
Katana x4
Hunter Drone x2
Crawler Patrol Drone
Bolt of Power x3

CONTACTS (3)
Bounty Hunter
Corporate Secretary
Elven Hitman

LOCATIONS (1)
The Iron Lung

STINGERS (6)
No Way Out x2
Green Apple Quicksteps x4

SPECIALS (4)
Bar Fight
Block Party x2
Cover Up

CHALLENGES (26)
Lone Star Patrol x4
Maglocks x4
Security Drone x4
Security Guards x4
Basilisk x2
Electrified Fence x2
Feeding Ghouls x2
Ambushed En Route
Gut Check
Hellish Traffic
Sentry Gun

OBJECTIVES
Ragnarock x4
Tiki Head Enigma
Harkequin's Game

** As you can see, it's primarily built as a cash and pump deck. The
extra nu yen generated also leads to some fun and games with the
Bounty Hunter and Block Party when they come up. Nothing special, but
for a deck that was primarily thrown together from my boxes of extras,
it has held it's own in more than a couple of games.

Hope this helps.
