Hey Folks,

Did anyone else notice the lack of Prime Runners in the Underworld
Set? I thought that was rather odd. No Mafia Dons or Yakuza Bosses.
The only one that I can think of that appeared in the Limited Edition
but fits with the UW theme is Torgo. Comments?

Perhaps after FASA does a decker theme, they will go on with a corporate
expansion. There they could always have shady chairmen and the Bosses and
Dons that control the financial aspects of the world. Plus with the
Shipyard Showdown objective saying "This'll teach those upstart Seoulpa
Rings to horn in our biz!", they could expand the Underworld expansion
(expansion for an expansion?) and have said Rings and Triads.

Then perhaps they'll have the Players' Expansion of card ideas us players
create. I for one would not mind seeing ~my~ card of me in print *grin*.

Agreed. I thought Castillano (aka Steel) of "Never Deal with a Dragon"
and "Striper Assassin" would have made a cool contact or possibly a P.R.
Though the whole wolf shapeshifter thing would've been sticky as Runner.

Several of the who's who from the Underworld sourcebook would've been
obvious choices to carry over to Underworld expansion as well.

Grapevine says Corp Wars _IS_ the next expansion.

Might have something to do with "Retirement" (why did they make this
card common anyway??) - too risky to have any Primes in your deck...

Actually, Ghost Who Walks is still very playable (gee, the one prime
runner who might NEVER retire :-) ). In fact, with all the new nasty
specials, I think I like the guy even more!

Ok, I'll give you that - but he's still quite expensive (2 nuyen upkeep)
just to have him in play :-)

Looks like Ghost Who Walks might not be the "sucky" card that my friends always
bemoan him to be. Might have to consider him once again.
