One thing I've started doing is placing my runners, after their actions
have been resolved, at whatever place they are. i.e., if I have several
runners go visit the Iron Lung, then I set them next to it, showing that
theya re out of the Safehouse...
You can either do that, or simply try and remember who was where... It
helps make things easier for all concerned, and keeps those nasty cards
like Z-Zone from being overpowered...Trust me... Tinner once had a deck
with lotsa Trolls and Orks, and theZ-Zone, and every time I wnet on a
Shadowrun, and returned home beating and weak, he's jump all over me on his
turn. This was one rule I'm glad they finally clarified...

Yes... Provided they are untapped.

Agreed, but that's what happens when you write off the cuff replies to 100+
e-mails per day... Not everything your answer someone with gets written
down, and later, because of the wording, you find yourself leaning in a
different direction on a ruling.... And then add in 3 different people
answering the mail and not telling each other about it, it can be a real
snafu...
I've recently found out how much fun answering e-mail questions can be...
I'm nw the official Answer Ork for Paolo Marcucci's Shadowrun Archive...
Wheee! :] But I get asked questions sometimes, and have to double check
myself so that I don;t give out contradictory answers. Especially since I
usually don;t have my books with me when I answer my mail...:]
I just sincerely hope that FASA will stick with their rulings once they
make them publicly offiicial (i.e., the Errata and FAQ lists), and not flip
Flop. I can understand changing a ruling if it's obviously broken, but
Magic is suffering heavily from the "What's the rule THIS week" syndrome...:(
