Due to flooding, UK Nationals this weekend will now take place at Ashton Court Mansion, Long Ashton, BS41 9JN, which is located about 20' drive from the centre of Bristol and is accessible by bus. The organisers are making a number of accommodations to help people get there and ensure that everyone can still make the event without having to change their travel plans. Full details can be found here

PLEASE share this information with anyone you know who's going, as not everyone is active in online Netrunner spaces and they might otherwise miss it!

Hey all,

I used to have some ffg product and played incredibly casually. Recently heard that Netrunner got rebooted. I was wondering if you could tell me a bit about it. Where do I start? How do I get product in the Netherlands? Is my old stuff still legal to play in the current format. Are there any local scenes; around Zwolle, Netherlands in my case Thanks in advance!

When does the money talent trigger? Right when an agenda is scored/stolen, or after the effects of the agenda is resolved?

I have a play group that meets once a week to hangout and we have played MtG Commander/EDH in the past but I would love to get them into Netrunner. I have some questions about existing and proposed formats

I've looked at NAPD - but it seems odd to have corp go then all the runners, the corp again - seems that multiple runs would drain the coffers of the corp and make it difficult to keep up. Any reason not to go corp> runner corp> runner. . . And so on? Also, netrunnerDB doesn't have much for deck lists so that makes it a little more co.plicated for newer players

There was also a format where you had two corps and two runners but Corp was a team and Runners were a team. I can't find any rules for that one but that seems like it could be fun - corp can install upgrades, advanced agendas, and ice each others remote servers. This also seems the most straight forward since it can use normal Standard legal decks

Then there is The Big Sellout which people have said is really slow and overly complicated. Have there been any revisions to streamline this and make it play a little faster and more straight forward?

Consume thy enemy's heart.

Hey y'all,

Question about security testing. So ST says instead of accessing cards gain 2c, would this work in conjunction with other cards that also have "instead of accessing/breaching" clauses? For example, if I have Stargate and ST on the board and I declare R&D as the ST server, can I still perform Stargate's successful run effect? And same question for other cards with the same situation, like cataloguer and chastushka?

Thanks in advance

Hey guys!

I have been hearing a lot of good things about this game and decided to see one or two "How to play" videos to see if they piqued my interest.

I have also read about this game being out of print with FFS, but then saw there are now cards made by Null Signal Games in an unofficial capacity, so I am a bit lost in how I could learn more about this game and what to buy to begin my collection, in case I decide I want to play this with my friends. Did Null Signal Games completely revamp the game? Is there a core box one should start with?

What would be your recommendations regarding first purchase(s) and tutorial materials?

Thanks in advance!

After the release of Honor & Profit, Jinteki received sufficient tools to make a shell-game, net-damage deck successful. We'll look at the deck that archetype that Chris Hinkes popularized in his win at the Cambridge, Massachusetts, regional in the summer of 2014 ... which was subsequently piloted by Minh Tran to a runner-up finish at Worlds in 2014. Presented in seven segments:

1:45 experiential data, part 1 (chris hinkes)
12:50 experiential data, part 2 (jurgen marx)
14:50 experiential data, part 3 (minh tran; finals)
29:00 archived memories (I am having a hard time beating Stabeki)
36:30 matrix analyzer (reboot changes to cambridge pe)
41:00 research station (willingdone youtube channel)
45:30 astroscript pilot program (woa: pp.86-87, the network pt. 6 - building neural bridges, pt. 2)

I’ve been playing for about 3 weeks and I’m at the point where im winning about 45-50% of games I play. I want to start building my own decks and expanding my comprehension of this game. Does anyone have any cool youtube videos or websites that would be helpful? Thanks!!

Hi I am a returning player who is looking to make some PnP decks of some of the iconic meta decks used from the FFG era.

I started playing netrunner in 2015-2016 but had stopped since then, and never really followed the meta. Now I've joined a local netrunner group and they love to fondly (for the most part) the famous decks back in the day.

Now I want to experience them by making some these decks myself and playing them with my board gaming friends (non-netrunner players) via print and play. Would people here be able to list the most iconic/famous/infamous decks used in the FFG era (with netrunnerdb links)?

Thank you in advance!!!

Basically, I'm running this free online tournament next weekend. The tournament will involve playing through a bunch of historical worlds matchups (the decklists are all set up for you, so it wont be a hassle). There's no big prizing, but if you send me your postal address I'll send you a postcard (and I'll send you a tag if you're in the top 4 too).

https://alwaysberunning.net/tournaments/4451/timewalk-2024

Have you got what it takes to step into the shoes of a champion? To secure the same tough victories that the legends of netrunner did? Or even to change history, and win when all the odds are stacked against you?

Play through the historical worlds matchups that did (and some that did not) happen from 2012 all the way through to 2024. Each round you will have a new deck to play, and you will be facing against a new deck.

If this sounds complicated, don't worry. I rigged jinteki.net to make this automatic for you.

Tournament starts 11:59AM NZST.

This event will be free to play. Just show up and have a good time.

Hi Reddit Netrunners,

First, I wanted to congratulate Null Signal Games on a successfully ran World Championships event. My custom made tokens and IDs were available at the Artist Colony and I appreciate all the volunteer work that was put into running that.

There are a couple updates to the store that I wanted to share,

NEW

I have created an Acrylic "core damage" ESA ID and it is up and available on my web shop. This is the first of a number of acrylic IDs that will be posted in the coming months.

Update

With the upcoming release of Dawn in Q1 2025 and the rotation of the rest of the FFG cardpool, I wanted to start offering any of my products that are associated with rotation to be at a lower cost.

Prices for the following items have been slashed in half;

• PE Wood ID
• Ika Trojan Token
• Kyuban Trojan Token
• Egert Trojan Token
• Scrubber Recurring Tokens
• Pre-Paid Recurring Tokens

Finally, I have also restocked everything else available on my webstore with more token varieties coming in the next couple months! (Including some long awaited core set tokens.... stay tuned!)

Since Untap now supports Netrunner, I was looking forward to help importing the cards to their database, but I couldn't find high quality versions of the images. Where can I find them?

Hello,

I have ALL FFG cards (including a second core set, terminal directive, reign and reverie, etc.) The 2 core sets are in French as are some of the expansion packs but my guess is that 70-80% are in English.

All of these have been sleeved since day one so the cards are in very good condition.

I don't particularly count on selling now since I still play from time to time with friends but what would be the value of such a collection ?

Thank you in advance for your answers

Hi all, I'm moving house soon and was going through my board game cupboard, and came across these. Before I spend a chunk of time cataloguing the cards to sell them, can anyone tell me if it's worth my time to do so, please?

I know the game got discontinued, and I know this isn't a complete set, but definitely would be nice if it was worth even a little towards the new house!

The corp seems to have a few different ways to win (net damage vs agendas) but runner has only agendas. Are there any runner decks in standard that win on a different axis?

I was listening to Neon Static and they mentioned using Trick Shot as shaper to use SMC.

Can the credits but used "during a run" to trigger card abilities during the run? So SMC is at instant speed (whatever the NR term is, instant is MtG) so you can trigger it while you priority - did I get that right?

Hi all,

I've use the cards from Original Netrunner / MPC-formatted : r/Netrunner and built PDFs with 3x3 cards to help with the printing.

They are all in: Netrunner CCG proxies - Google Drive

There is just one card with issues and that's the Acme Savings and Loans. I didn't want to spend much time on it as the bigger size of the card doesn't ruin the print for me.

I've added thin margins to help with the cutting. Tried to stick as much as possible to the original card look and feel.

I've also uploaded the script I used to build the PDFs in case someone wants to improve on anything.

Some background and context (feel free to skip this part if you don't care) -- I played a ton of Netrunner from 2015-2018 and sort of stopped when the game got cancelled. I tried the NSG stuff and while I think it's incredibly awesome that fans are keeping the game alive it just kind of didn't feel like Netrunner (as I knew it) to me. That's not to throw shade, on NSG, its just that the game changed. Lately I've been acquiring ONR (Original NetRunner) cards from 1996 and been fascinated with and focused on the history of the game, which has led me to kind of obsess with how the game evolved and some of it's original design philosophy.

A huge component of what makes Netrunner interesting is, obviously, making runs and doing the on-the-fly calculations as the runner or corporation to find out if you can tear into a server or if you have established a scoring window. One of the driving design elements behind this is the cost-balancing of how much it takes to break a piece of ice with "X" breaker or how much you can tax a runner with a data fort you set up.

The original Netrunner was touted as being very well balanced in this regard. When FFG released Netrunner in 2012 they made some interesting design changes in the cost balancing sphere but one was to make runner factions better at dealing with certain types of ICE. Depending on your faction, you (theoretically) got a better value proposition on ICE breaking depending on which faction you were in.

As I compare and contrast ONR to ANR, it seems like the value of cards has just increased tenfold. This is known as power-creep and virtually no game (video game or TCG) is immune to it. Publishers almost have to design more powerful cards to keep the game exciting and relevant. And I think one of my struggles with NSG is that, the cardpool inevitably feels hyper-optimized, almost to a point of loosing that "netrunner clunky-ness" that made making runs feel dangerous. But this is not a post about me trying to dunk on NSG and I'm well aware of ANR having had its own issues in this area (Im looking at you FAUST!)

The purpose of this post is to ask people this question is Netrunner actually "more fun" when you are forced to play with sub-optimal ICE and Ice-breakers?

Obviously "more fun" is HIGHLY subjective and perhaps this is as simple as a question of "do you prefer to play limited or constructed formats in tcgs?" but I was just curious how people felt in this regard. I personally have always been more of a casual / kitchen table player and so I personally love when people must use some sub-optimal cards. But in my experience with ONR the cost-balancing on making runs OR protecting against runs just feels so good. Runs feel dangerous, subroutines end up firing more often and as a runner you feel a lot more punishment while still being able to get in when it matters, but you might not come out unscathed.

I also want to leave this open-ended to any thoughts people might have on cost-balancing in netrunner in general or just comparisons between versions of the game. Again, not looking to crap on any specific version of the game so much as highlight known or maybe less subtle differences in each version.

Is it possible to get the remastered version of ashes through makeplayingcards or any other store? I only see an option with the old card backs on mpc.

I'm ordering to the EU, so can't go through null signal games store and they've been out of stock for a long time on the uk site.

https://forum.stimhack.com/t/custom-card-thread/11012

I spent some time making tokens using wooden bits I already have and my vinyl cutter. I don't have a set of tokens otherwise so I'm looking forward to trying these at my next game night.

I like how most of them came out. The core damage tokens look more like a steak than a brain though.

I have a much fo blank meeples I was trying to figure out if I could use them. I'm open to suggestions.

Are there any good youtube channels that are covering current netrunner scene/cards?
