just something I've been fooling around with. The picture is from the cover of a Paranoia novel "Title deleted for security reasons" If anyone has any legal problems with the posting of cards like this please let me know, because I'm not trying to get sued or challenge any copyright laws here. I'm just having fun.

In article <333fe82c...@news.airmail.net>, car...@airmail.com says... [ quoted text not captured ] I don't have any problems with it, in fact I might put it in my next deck, if I can convince my group to allow it ;-). It's actually a good, unbroken card. The art is nice, and as long as you don't try to make any money out of this, you might get away without any lawsuits. Keep it up, post some other cards like that, but please make them a little smaller. About twice the size of a real card. Bleu, alias Philippe Richer

The easiest way to do this would be to mimic the Lucky Blow template: Good Aim - combat: Strike: Use your Gun at +1R damage. -- L.

Actually, mow that you mention it, making it smaller would make it take up less drive space as well. Thanks for the suggestion.

Inferior though it may be, it is also CUMULATIVE with Manstopper Rounds, and therefore not wallpaper. To make it more versatile, one could have it refer to ranged weapons rather than guns. This way, its bonus would apply to an Ivory Bow. John W.

[ quoted text not captured ] I won't swear to remember the original card text but, if I'm not mistaken, it is also cumulative when multiples are played. 5 Good Aims amount to +5 damage.

Allowing multiple Good Aims to be played was not one of my original intentions, but going strictly by the card text you certainly could.
