Is it me or does it seem Shadowrun cards, compared to other card games,
have no room for anything except the bare basics? This is still wordy, but
hell, cut out half the picture to make some room,

Jack the Ripper II - Unique
Points: 50 reputation
Objective: All challenges require an extra social and street skills. Any
non-detective runner failing this run must have objective owner roll D6,
targeting highest social elite first as modified as followed : +1
[definite] female character, + number of social skills, and/or - number of
anti-social skills.
1-3 - No affect.
4-5 - Runner continues running this objective only.
6+ - Frag character - no further stalking attacks this phase if other
runners are available.
Picture: A classic foggy London street with an old gas burning street lamp
off to the side while shadows run amuck.


>Why the social skill as the critical skill?... just wondering... (don't
know too much >about ol' jack.)

My understanding of the myths from those old movies so long ago was Jack
went after prostitutes. This time I reversed the rolls and the crazed
maniac probably whacked on some BTL chips wants the highest social upper
class to take a fall. But like most of these murder mysteries, the
beautiful female usually gets taken out before the male does.

>It's a hands down Foxy Roxy killer as it is.

Forgot she had a social skill of 4, so I gave her a slight chance to live.
But that is one reason why I had the reputation points so high. If someone
thinks they can sleaze on through using Foxy Roxy and she gets sent home
because of some White Castles but never makes it because the rest of her
team find her remains stuffed in said toilet... I also forgot about the
Street skill that can be sleazed. That's what I get for not looking at
what was available.

Thanks Don for the questions,
