wow, it's great to see FASA answering. just wanted some clarification to
make sur i'm still reading it right.

if they're a target of a wanted card, dooes the turned card still deal
damage. coming out of an l5r background, i'd say, they're spent and don't.
but from a battletech:ccg they just untap right before combat and tap
again. so what's the ruling on that?

so i'm still a little unclear on what a turned runner in the safehouse is
exactly. if i go on a shadowrun on my turn, after the shadowrun is over,
are my turned runners considered back in the safehouse (but turned). same
with locations or contacts? how about using a special ability? i use it
and then come back, worn out but still in the safehouse? or is that just
referring to stuff like GAQS where you can have turned runners for sure in
the safehouse? if it's the first, wow, it really is different than how
we've been playing it.
