Something I noticed was absent from the text on Open Dossier was the
ability to play further intercept cards. There is no "may play
reaction cards as if untapped".
I.e If I choose to play open dossier, the card text limits me to
blocking, but it gives the +2 intercept and possible maneuver.
Say I'm unlucky, and the opposing minion plays forgotten labyrinth.
I'm attempting to block, but I'm currently failing. Card text doesn't
mention "can play reaction cards as if untapped during this block
attempt". Sure I can tap a master for another +1 or something, but the
reacting minion can't play anything else.
Am I right, or is it that the block attempt gives the right to
continue to play reactions?

You're correct. The block attempt continues until it becomes
unsuccessful - for instance, you could continue to try to block while
getting more intercept from locations, being Babbled, and so forth.
However, you have no ability to play further reaction cards with that
vampire 'as if untapped', so if that vampire wants to play reaction
cards for more intercept, he'll need to find some other way to untap
(or count as untapped for those cards.)

Correct.
