Sally is the woman on the cover of the BBB, both 1st and 2nd edition. The
guy jacking into the terminal is Dodger and the guy with the twin Uzi's is
Ghost-Who-Walks.

They will no longer be on the cover of Shadowrun, as of the Third Edition.
There's a new crew, and it's been painted by the same guy who did the cover
for Cyberpirates. From what I've seen (I bought an entire magazine just to
see a little picture of the cover...) it looks pretty good, and is still
black.

Heck, Sally even pops up as a "GM will save your ass now" NPC in the
mini-adventure "Food Fight!" that was a part of SR1 to show how the various
concepts worked.

Doesn't she also have a SRTCG card?

She does indeed, along with Ghost Who Walks, Dodger, Kham and Fastjack.
It's a pity really, since they gave the card art for all but Kham to
Janet Aulisio, and (IMHO) she really didn't do them justice.

Oh? I only had a chance to read through parts of SR1, an' I haven't
seen it in years.

Dunno. Never liked CCG's.

I'm still annoyed they took the "roll for allergy" charts out of SRII.
I liked random allergies - I had a twink player taking severe
allergies to silver and shit like that to get more points. To counter
act that, I forced him to roll off the tables in SRI - when he got a
moderate allergy, he refused to play that character, and threw his
hands up in a mif because he couldn't twink out his attributes the
way he wanted to. Now all of my players have to roll on that chart.
The ones playing metahumans, that is.

Gee, allergic to plastic eh? Oh, and you're a street sam? Tough. :)

Yeah we had a few sams with REAL chrome.
