Can you add a runner to a shadowrun in progress or is this only to send 7
runners on a run?
I'd drop the upkeep, nobody is going to use it anyway, since you have to
thrash the card I only see it being played and thrashed immediately.

I like it. But maybe I'd make it cost 1Y, that way there is a chance you
won't make any profit, and allows the other players to play loaded dice and
make you lose money. One thing I like about SR is that most cards don't have
a 100% chance that they'll work.

If it was worded that you could trash to send an additional runner on a
current SR being performed, I'd DEFINITELY use this card. Also, it doesn't
specify if it has to be your own SR (I'm thinking along the lines of Yamaha
Rapier....)

I think Pedro has a good idea there, or if you don't want to add a cost, at
least make this card Unique, kind of like Skills To Pay The Bills.
