Huh? I don't see what you're asking this question for. These are just some
minor tweakings to the gameplay that make life easier on runners. I don't
see how they go against strategy and pre-planning. Everyone's idea of what
an excessively long game is will be different, no one will enjoy playing
what they consider an excessively long game, but I imagine that I would
enjoy longer games than other people (I am a very patient person). To me it
seems that these rules merely change strategy.
Keep reading to see my thoughts on the house rules.

Interesting. The first couple of games we played we didn't know any better,
and did this anyways. I sort of like this, but it does mildly change
strategies and puts a much higher power to rockers. Just think, if I have
two Glitz, two Thrash in play, I can get for nuyen and fill my hand every
turn! Maybe the best way to implement this would beto put a limit on when
you could fill your hand.

This one I don't like. If you put a hcallenge down, it should be an
irravocable decision. Challenge combos and really good stacks are thus made
harder to build. Without this, Sean's right, pre-planning is diminished.

Hmmm. I don't know, I think that as soon as a runner is dead, they should be
irrevocably so. I remember M:TG's constant "Response" debates, which caused
huge timing issues nad extended discussions.
