SEATTLE BY GASLIGHT NOTES

Seattle By Gaslight draws on the atmosphere of mystery novels to add a new ambience to Shadowrun: the Trading Card Game. This net.expansion focuses on Detectives, Lone Star Runners, and other quasi-legal citizens of Seattle. Gaslight introduces a number of new mechanisms, traits, and keywords for cards.

Greed: Oooh. Shiny!
That about sums up the Greedy Runner's take on certain things in life. These Runners like to hold on to things; they'd never trade away a precious belonging -- that is, any Gear they are holding -- to another Runner.

Greed may be limited to particular type of Gear, such as
Greed: Pistols
Greed: Spells
Greed: Matrix Gear
Greed: DocWagon cards
and so on.

Investigation: Just as Deckers are able to Recon Challenges, and Shamans can use Biotech to heal Runners, Detectives (and some other Runners) are able to Investigate another player.

Like Biotech and Recon, Investigate comes in a number of levels, designated Investigate-1, Investigate-2, and so on. Like Biotech, a Runner may only Investigate during his or her owner's Legwork phase.

In its simplest form, you turn the Runner performing the Investigation and draw a number of cards from an opponent's draw pile equal to the level of the Investigation. (After admiring the cards for a suitable length of time, just return them your opponent, who shuffles them back into his draw pile.) Additional Runner abilities and Specials affect the outcome of the Investigation.

Tailing: A Detective with the Tailing trait may turn to follow another Runner as he visits Contacts, Locations, or even attempting a shadowrun. This ability may be limited by the use of a keyword; e.g., a Runner with Tailing (Corporate HQs) may only follow a Runner to Locations so designated. A Runner is able to Tail another Runner to a Location (or Contact or Objective) regardless of who owns the Location or if it is Open or Closed. The Tailing Runner must meet any other requirements of that Location. A Lone Star Detective tailing a Decker, for example, would not be able to visit a Matrix Location which only Deckers could visit. Also, the Tailing Runner's owner must pay any costs required to visit.

A Detective with Tailing, Tailing: Shadowruns or Tailing: Objectives may only join a shadowrunning team with less than the maximum number of Runners.
