Well, this could be avoided by making erratas to say treat these tokens
as a gear(Misc.) or whatever. Then if Shadowland doesn't have that
errata, then they can't be swapped. Personally, I think the tokens
created from Shadowland and Club Vortex should be treated as Gear cards.
I can't see any huge strategy to this other than your nuyen cows
collecting cred from fame and then making trips to the Club and Shadowland
to collect info and drugs for your runners. Oh well, whatcha gonna do?
