Is Jyhad going to be set using competely different rules than Magic? it
is supposed to be a new dckmaster game, right? Also, is WHITE WOLF
planning on setting up other deckmaster games for MAGE: THE ASCENSION and
WEREWOLF: THE APOCALYPSE. Personally, on roleplaying terms, I liked
thosee two more than VAMPIRE.

Jyhad is a completely separate game from Magic, yes. Below is a press
release which hints at what the game will be like. As far as I know, there
are no plans to make Deckmaster games based on the other White Wolf games.

Jyhad is a brand-new Deckmaster game produced by Wizards of the Coast and
White Wolf, based on White Wolf's Vampire: The Masquerade. The following

I've heard that the rights to use the R. Tsaltorian Cyberpunk universe were
bought just like for Vampire. Any news about this ?
Then anyway, any sneak previews of Jyhad ?

Yes, WotC has licensed Cyberpunk 2020 for the purposes of producing
a Deckmaster game based on the CP2020. This game will be called 'Netrunner',
or 'Netrunner 2020', or something to that effect. No release date
has been announced.

Is there anything you can tell us? Is Richard behind this one?
Is it in the design phase? Is it being playtested? Will it be based on
the whole "Cyberpunk" genre, or jusy on the "Netrunning" part of it?
Will the first run be limited? Is it a two-player or a multi-player game?
again, >any< info would be very much appreciated!

"It will exist" pretty much sums up what's public information at
this point.
