Questions-

Are multiple locations out at the same time considered separate?
(Will a troll bouncer on Iron Lung (A) affect Iron Lung (b))

The rulebook implies that Indirect Fire only adds the WEAPON's value to the
Shadowrunner's total damage against a CHALLENGE, is this accurate?

If you use no weapon, is your attack considered silenced?

Can Wild Goose Chase be played (on the running SR team) right after they
defeat the last challenge on an objective?

<offtopic/>
BTW I read in the FASA FAQ 2.0 that runners who Guard must take all (or as
much as possible) of the damage.
</offtopic>


CONTROVERSIAL?
Shouldn't all Hand-to-Hand weapons be silenced!
(I don't have strong feelings either way)

Has anyone tried playing with chipjacks, while allowing the runner to hold
multiple chips? Why not! I guess I will.
It is important not to allow FASA (intentionally) to reduce the value of a
card game by making a built-in strategy (consisting of a large number of
cards -quite a few Rare cards) useless due to lack of insight. I'm not
saying they f*cked up in the ruling or suring playtesting, it's just tha
the world is a big playtesting group and I think we can agree that the
'chip deck was supposed to work, but doesn't.
