Light the Shadows Playing Cards
A collection of playing cards produced by the Light the Shadows campaign and freely distributed to security personnel throughout the Seattle Metroplex. The usual playing card suits have been replaced with four new suits entitled: Razors, Hackers, Mages and Faces.
While many of the cards feature an image of the Runner the detail, many do not and instead depict only a black metahuman silhouette. When the card is played face up, it projects a VR window depicting the image on the card and listing some basic information concerning the runner in question.
