I know we've seen this card before in Loki's preview extravaganza stuff
but I don't think this question came up at the time. I would think that
in the interest of game balance, a roll would be made for each rocker
(or other fame possessor if they ever exist) that a target player has in
play, but a literal reading of the card could allow 1 all-or-nothing
roll. When a player recieves their nuyen, it comes in a lump sum of 4 +
total fame, not 4, natural pause, fame, natural pause, fame, etc...
It's a subtle difference, and maybe not worth mentioning, but I could
see it becoming an issue to the person who didn't want to give up 5
extra nuyen based on one roll. Any opinions?
