Adam Bomb
Type: Runner
Rarity: Promo
Description: Legendary Dwarf Rocker
Notes: 3¥. 2/3. Fame-2. Owning player rolls a D6 at the start of his
legwork phase each turn. On a 5+ (or if Adam dies) each
Runner/Challenge present takes 5 damage. Trash Adam Bomb.
Adam B. is not designated as Unique so yes, you can have up to four in
a deck. He also isn't a Prime Runner, so all four could be in play at
one time. (Eeeesh, talk about playing with fire.)

Ok, I'm tired of typing it out, so I'm creating an official SRCard
abbreviation (RBT = Rulebook Thingy. :o)
RBT, page 14, says:
"Present: A card referred to as 'present' may be in one of three
situations. 1) On a shadowrun. This includes all Runners on the
shadowrun as well as the currently revealed Challenge. 2) In the
safehouse. This includes all unturned Runners currently in the
safehouse. 3) In Runner-against-Runner combat. This includes all the
Runners involved in the combat on both sides."
Activated spirits or drones would be "present" and count as runners in
regards to combat and damage, so they'd also factor into the above.

I would say each set of damage is doled out seperately, and thus yes
it would be cumulative to those taking it. (I wouldn't want to be in
your safehouse just waiting for those little buggers to blow.)

I took Adam B. out of my deck. Sure it's nice to net that 2 extra nu
yen a turn from his fame, and with the four you're talking about
that's another 8 a turn. However, he WILL blow eventually. It's gonna
happen. A smart opponent with a Loaded Dice or Deja Vu will probably
make it sooner rather than later. Unless you get him out first thing
in the game and hold onto your runners 'til he's gun, Adam is gonna
take most of the runners present with him. Four of these guys in a
chain reaction of 20 damage is just suicide to a Safehouse or
Shadowrun. <shudder>

I'll be picking up some more Starters/Booster with B-day money this
weekend. Thus I'll have more trade fodder coming in. I'll let you and
the list know when this is. (Down to about 30 needed cards myself.)
Also Todd, your Reply-To field is overriding the List's address.
