Subject: New general card idea
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 1998 09:55:00 PDT
A concept was implemented in the first run but it wasn't used yet. Some
runners are detectives, but no single card give them something. For
others, we have Objectives for about all types of runners (including
Street Sams), we have Better Offer for mercs, Drive-by for Riggers,
Gang/Lone Star HQ, etc. etc. drek-etc.

At least one card in both sets can be affiliated to a certain description
of runner. All, except one (I think). The detective.

Here are some ideas of cards exclusively for them :


Type : Stinger
Name : Witness
Cost : 1
Description : Turn a Detective. Prevent one of your runner from being
arrested.
Flavor : "Indeed, you weren't at the crime scene yesterday. But we'll
keep an eye !!!"


Type : Stinger
Name : Unwanted! (unless you have a better idea)
Cost : 2
Description : Play this card when someone attacks a Wanted runner. Turn
a Detective. Trash Wanted!. The player who controls the runner loses 5
rep. points. The player who puts Wanted! also loses 5 rep. points.
There is no runner vs runner combat.
Flavor :


Type : Special
Name : SINless
Cost : 3
Description : Play on a runner with gear. Turn a Detective and arrest
target runner (TR). TR returns in owner's hand and trash all TR's gears.
Flavor : "We found that your carrying an unregistered pistol. You have
the right to remain silent. All ..."
