Here's Jim's response on some of Phil's ?'s that I passed along.

I'm still not sure what Coffin Hotel is supposed to be telling us
about being "present" and other Locations.

Let's say I send Tink to check out Shadowland. Just when does she
become "present" in the safe house again:
- at the end of my Legwork Phase?
- during the end turn phase?
- when I unturn her during my following refresh phase?

The response we got in the SRCard Q&A, where Jim echoed Matb's
interpretations, seemed to say she'd come home when I unturned her,
but now with Coffin Hotel I'm not so sure.

BTW Jim was feeling saucy tonite, and he did apologize if any of the
answers seemed to come off flippant.

~!~!~!~!~!

Q. I like the introduction of the racial variations, but I'm wondering
if they are going to come into play with future cards? I like it as
flavor text, but it could end up leading to some cards that will be
very limited in use.

A: Well now, we'll have to wait and see…

Q. Louie Da' Bruiser: How does his special ability work? Is he
basically A3 to start with if he is not using any gear/armor?

A: Yes…and Gear armor cards can't be added to that A3. They aren't
"cumulative" with it.

Q. Skitz: Does his ability effectively negate Wild Goose chase played
on a shadowrunning team he is in?

A: Yes.

Q. Shouldn't Shriek 1000 and The Brain have 0/1 threat ratings?

A: Hey, waddya mean? You pickin' on us? (In other words, no). ; )

Q. If Acid Mist or Poor Craftsmanship destroy cyberware does the
Runner get the Essence back?

A: Hmmm, that's an interesting question. I'd say yes (but that
answer's not in stone).

Q. Can the Wind Spirit be used during combat before damage is dealt?

A: No. You can't use it during combat, but you can use it after a
Challenge is revealed and before combat begins.

Q. Why would you want to use the Coffin Hotel instead of Club Vortex or
Shadowland?

A: Read it again and you'll see. Like bombs going off in your
safehouse? If not, this may be the card for you. Your Runners can stay
at Coffin Hotel—safely.

Q. Can Leo's Pawnshop buy gear for more then it's deployment cost? The
Leo/passkey combo could be rather abusive....

A: I think the card is rather self-explanatory. You sell a card and
receive D6-3 ¥ in return. If that turns out to be more than the
Deployment cost of the Gear card, then your question is answered.

Q. Does 911 take effect befor the combat is resolved or after?

A: After

Jim N.

More Already!!!! I just got caught up. :) And I was proud of the fact
that I even had a PDF file for download. Looks like it's obsolete.

Back to work.... :)

Actually, they were more statements then questions. Basically just
some of the things that just came off my head after seeing each card for
the fist time.

Yegad! You're not kidding. I thought Lou got rather antagonistic, but
atleast he only does it when there are like 20 some odd mails saying he
was foolish for making some rule decision for Earthdawn.

In my defence I'ld like to point out that they are the only two drones
without a threat rating. Even the microskimmer is a 0/1....

Ummm, I'ld rather take my chances with Adam Bomb, Cortex Bomb and Time
Delayed bomb then Cherrybomb.... Besides I get something out of the
latter locations.

This rule is fine by me. I just thought I should point out that it
would be possible to actually make money off return visits. I find
it rather funny that Leo is stupid enough to pay up to 3Y for
something he will just give away for free. I guess he is a
philanthropist... ;)

As for the really flipant remark about the K9 Unit, all I want to
say is that if I didn't read the card carefully I wouldn't have
asked the question....

It sounded like he was just messing with you anyway.
