"Promotional" cards? That is, they promote the game and thus are available
prior to the release of a given game to pique peoples' intererest in the
upcoming release? :) (I'm mentioning this because the first Underworld promo
card wasn't even really available until 2 months after its release).
Actually promotion of the game is an on-going process. You don't pull ads,
magazine reviews, t-shirts and such because the game is now on the shelves. In
all reality, SRTCG 1st Run made it's debut at GC'97 so all the promo cards in
Shadis, InQuest and Scrye came out a month or so after it's release as well. ;o)
> 2) The "2nd Run" has been postponed with no mention of how long or why.
Does anyone have any information on what is happening with the 2nd Run?
It's been moved back, probably to keep in release with Corp Wars. Don't know
any specifics but it may have to do with timing on GC'98 at this point as well.
> 3) Corp Wars is still slated for release in July (once again, according
to the FASA website). Does anyone have any information or knowledge
concerning the cards in this set? Are there going to be promos?
I can vouch that this one is in playtest. It's a 90 card set. Promo's are on
the drawing board. Disclosure agreements keep me from saying more.
