Yes we email FASA for definitive answers or what their intentions were.
However, a coupld of things need to be kept in mind. The SRTCG game designers
are members of the FASA art department, and thus are kept busy on other
projects (SRRPG 3rd Edition for example). They've just gotten back from the
hulaballoo of GC'98 and haven't returned any of my other emails yet, so I know
we won't be getting any SRTCG answers back all to quickly.

Also, they've epxressed that they can be buried by the salvo of SRTCG rules
questions that come their way. They try to get to each and every one, but the
DLOH's are only human. To try and helpto that end, it usually works best if
the questions are collected by a single person and fielded to them, rather
than 20 questions about CoP going to them at once.

In the past, I've tried to work in that capacity, collecting the week's
unsolved rules questions and punting them off to Jim and Skuzzy. There hasn't
been alot in that area as 1st Run and Underworld have been out for a while,
but rules debate seems to be picking up again as we're seeing fresh faces.

The DLOH's have been pretty good about getting back to me. Just recently
they've been really busy.

It's going to be fixed in 2nd Run to either a use limit of 1 or 3 three times
per turn. Skuzzy and Jim are debating over which the max should be.

it's still very absurd... with lucky wabbit's foot, and luck o' the irish, and
the protective spirits, it'll be quite easy to do it safely...
it'll certainly speed up a game... I've never played that card that way,
because it seemed broken... oh well.

And so I LotI your LotI and so on... ;o)

Thus why it's being fixed in 2nd Run, and you'll find most tournies limit MC's
use. Heck, most houserules I've seen just limit her as well.

haha... yeah, a lot of those LotI fly around in multiplayer games, I noticed

I've always played it where you can use as many MC as you got in play...
anyway, how are they going to limit it in 2nd run?
