Hey tehre Loki (and the list) :] A couple more questions (and our
solutions) that came up tonight as Tinner and I played a couple of really
close 100 point games...:]

1) At what point during the Credstick Phase does a Prime Runner's Upkeep
get paid? AT the beginning, before anything else? Or after you choose
whether to gain nuyen or draw cards? This effects a player if no Nuyen at
the beginning of the phase...

We decided that sinc it didn't say, that tehre was no definate sequance of
play for that phase, so you can do those actions in any order. thus, you
can gain your 4 Nuyen, then pay for your Upkeep...

2) For the purposes of cards that deal all their damage to one runner, do
drones count as Runners? The book states taht they do for purposes of
cards taht deal damage to all runners, so I assume they apply here as well,
but it's somewhat unclear.

These are a couple that could go in your FAQ, if nothing else, as they were
a couple questions that came up during play... Also, the armor may need to
be better explained...:] Tinner got most of the rules right after reading
the book and playing a couple games against another friend last night, but
they were doing the armor wrong, and that's one that's a little ambiguous
in the rulebook...

That's exactly my understanding. Upkeep just needs to be paid before
you move out of the Credstick phase and into the Legwork phase.

Exactly. Going by the wording/description in the rule book, for all
purposes, Spirits and Drones once activated and present in a Shadowrun
or combat are handled just like runners and thus are subject to damage
and and other effects.

Once I offically get the SRTCG mailing list in existence, I'll try to
include come of these more common questions in just such a FAQ. :o)
