The Blackjack's page has moved to a new address,
http://www.interware.it/users/blackjack/

If this is the page you're referring to, let me know and I will send you
the zippedmegafile.

I've got one PC who's an undercover cop, and the other players don't
know this. So far it hasn't caused any friction (they've only completed
one adventure) but I drop hints that there is more than there appears to
be about the character. Two uniformed Lone Star cops standing outside his
apartment and addressing him by name, that kind of thing. Also, he had
about 3 nuyen for the whole of the adventure, spending as little as
possible, and then it happened to be payday (the other players haven't
found that out yet, but I have this feelign they'll start asking questions
why he suddenly has a few thousand nuyen more than before...)

When designing the character, he got some edges and flaws to reflect his
undercover status: Friends in High Places (Lone Star), Registered
Equipment (his weapons), and Dark Secret (being an undercover cop).

There are guidelines for playing police officers in the Shadowrun
Companion and in NERPS: Underworld; I use the latter, possibly because I
wrote the article myself :)
