Hey all.

Well, I got my 2 boxes of Underworld a few days ago and I finally
had time to open them up and sort them out. I'm pretty pleased with the
colation job that they did with this print run. I'm 99% positive that each
box contained a complete set. (Of course, that excludes the promo cards).

Overall, I like the new card concepts. I was a bit disappointed
that they didn't add even 1 new Gear/Program, but those are the breaks.
Perhaps there are some plans to focus more on deckers in the next supplement
(or maybe even in the Second Run).

I do have one specific thing to point out about Leo's Pawn Shop. It
clearly states on the card:

1¥:Turn a Runner to visit Leo's Pawn Shop.

Because of this it always costs at least 1¥ to sell an item (thus,
if you earn only 1¥ on the sale, you make no money and have temporarily=
lost
the item). When you go to buy the item again, it once again costs you a
minimum of 1¥ to purchase the item (since you have to pay that 1¥=
visiting
cost). Thus, even selling Maglock Passkey is not a real winning move, since
it will always cost you 1¥ to buy it back each time.

Just my thoughts.
