Subject: Smokin' card ideas

I thought up a few card ideas revolving around smoking. I'm not too
familiar with the SR universe, so maybe there aren't cigarettes anymore,
but there sure seem to be plenty of drugs.

Heavy Smoker
Special
1 Nuyen
Target 'runner -0/-2 and loses all Athletic ability for remainder of
game.
Picture: Orc or Troll hacking up a lung in a smoke filled room while
holding a cigarette. Looks kinda like Poison Gas Trap with out the fear
in the face of the subject.
Flavor: "Hey chummer, can I bum ano..Cough, Cough, Hack..."

Nicci-fit
Stinger
1 Nuyen
Target runner neither inflicts nor recieves damage in next combat
encountered.
Picture: Marek looking character sucking down a cigarette while around
the corner, there is a heavy firefight going on.
Flavor: "I'll be back in a few."

Camel Cash
Special
0 Nuyen
Play on target heavy smoker. Every turn, Heavy Smoker recieves a Camel
Cash token. Owner of Heavy Smoker can trade in two(three?) Camel Cash
tokens to add one Nuyen to Credstick.

This card makes Heavy Smoker into a sort of trade-off like Sudden
Goblinization, can be good, or can be bad. Imagine two or three deckers
sittin' in your safehouse working Recon AND pulling in Nuyen every two
(or three) turns! 'Course, they better be sitting in a Bulldog.

In other news, my girlfriend asked me to make her a Valentines card. So
when she opened the envelope here's what she got:

Valentine
Stinger
6 Nuyen
Play on target opponent and roll D6. 1-4 No effect. 5+ Stop game.
Target opponent must perform sex act of choice for player of Valentine.
Picture: Sivart the troll pulling out of chest, and offering up, heart.

Kinda cheesy, and definitely not for multiplayer use!

That's all for now,
Travis
