Caught this one from the janitor at the Freedonian Institute. He swears
he overheard Jim Nelson and Mike Nielsen talking about it:

Bull
Type: Prime Runner
Rarity: Definitely Rare.
Description: Ork Decker.
Notes: 5Y. Decking-2, Social-3. When playing Cyberarms on Bull, roll
d6; on a 4+, trash that Cyberarm. 3/5. "The best Ork decker you never
met!"


In all good humor,

-Matt (who's dreamt up far too many cards in the past 48 hours)

Yeah... I tried to think up other "personalities" but, well, Bull was
the only one that came to mind. (Well, Gurth: a blank card..)

Hey, if anyone wants me to spoof them, just let me know :)

actually, shouldn't it be every turn, roll 1d6, on a 6, Bull turns into a
Wendigo and rejects all Cyber?

Nah ... can't be.
I've already done up a Bull card in MSPublisher.
He's NOT a Prime Runner, he only thinks he is. ;-)

Let's see.....we have MC23 (gotta be a decker)....with the
Gear/Program Grounding Debate.

Spike (list.member.grumpy) with the Attachments Thwap...

Come to think of it, the 1000 year old carp has got to be a
Stinger...

And always, the W**Dchuck card....

And what about the ever so eloquent Dr. Doom? Is he still over on
ShadowRN? Last time I un-subscribed from it he was talking about
leaving, but I don't know if he ever did.
