Ok. FASA are now officially the most wonderful company in the world. :)

A while back when everyone was having those troubles with getting
shorted rares in the starters for the Card Game, I sent FASA an email
telling them I was short a couple. Jill Lucas said "Sorry we can't fix
it, we'll send you a NERPS for free". I thought cool, I don't have to
bother with an international reply coupon.

Well, I got my parcel from FASA today. It had a free NERPS. AND: A
complete set of the Promo cards, including TWO Fuchis, two of the three
ad cards (the one with the dragon and the one with the Skillsoft:
Gunnery pic on it) and four extra rares! WOO HOO!

I love FASA, I love FASA...

What is a NERPS in this case? Is there a picture? (I've always figured that
NERPS is a massage oil and lubricant with a sweet taste that contains some
mild mood elevation drugs...)

NERPS in this case refers to a specific card for the Shadowrun Trading
Card Game (a promotional card previously only given away at Gencon).

"Mild" mood drugs? I always assumed they were more powerful than
that...
