TBB exists to troll the idea that people might have fun playing Netrunner. hmmmm yes not interacting with the rules of the game is the best way to play, im a genius *shits pants*

He makes decks that are designed to do well at tournaments. That usually means having something that's designed to deal with glacier because it's one of the most consistently strong archetypes in the game. I'd like to point out there are a lot of people that think that caprice + ash are terrible to play against. And to be honest, they kinda are. So having decks that can counter it is a good thing. But man, You're getting really mad at a dude that makes decks that are designed to do well. berenzen fucked around with this message at 19:55 on Apr 26, 2017 |

People are always at pains to point out that TBB is an accomplished deckbuilder when it's mentioned he's a bit of a dick, and vice versa. It's as though he'd lose his powers, Samson-like, if he cut out being a dismissive jerk occasionally.

Despite my shitpost, I don't care that much that he makes good decks. I'd be more generous to him if everything he wrote didn't come across as "teehee, I've beat FFG's attempts to balance the game and kept Anarch top," but whatever. I'm more annoyed that I'm gonna go on Jinteki.net and face that MaxX deck for months and it's not gonna be fun.

I'm impatiently waiting for reviews of Terminal Directive, because if its decent and core+TD provides a nice limited environment it might be the last Netrunner purchase I make.

Well, that felt like it hit home for a lot of my feelings, and I'm kind of disappointed by the conclusions. I'll have to think harder about if I want to get it or just call what I have complete. Thanks for the link!

Yeah it's pretty hilarious how much cardboard got wasted for TD. It's a common thing in recent boardgaming where they have enourmous boxes to try and catch eyes on the shelf, and then have most of it taken up by badly designed inserts. Level 99 games is real bad at this as well - I'm having to make custom boxes and poo poo because BattleCon is so huge and the insert so lovely for no reason. I'm gonna break the TD box down, binder the legal cards and keep the legacy stuff in one of those Pokemon deckboxes with the dividers in. E: I'm actually way more excited for playing Alya and a Shaper deck than I thought, everything in her set seems useful in some way. Still not excited about HB though.

Yeah, I live in the same area and have played against him plenty. I mean, he can come off a bit dismissive when it comes to Netrunner, but part of that is that he really does grasp the game better than just about anyone. He's certainly always been willing to explain stuff in more detail when I've asked; he really helped me get better. He's a chill dude.

Arkham Horror core is a different size box than the Netrunner Core set. The Netrunner deluxes are a different size again, and the Arkham deluxes are different from them.

I think at some point, FFG made Core sets the size of Deluxe expansions. I think Conquest was the first to have the smaller one?

You need to get it for the eternal cards anyway. The campaign is fun if you've got a person who can dedicate 5-8 games of time to play against you

I mean, at least the FAQ addresses that in its own clumsy way. I love all the times it says "Just pretend it ACTUALLY says this!" I'm a little surprised at how sloppy this release is, it's far worse than anything FFG has released before in terms of Netrunner. I wonder if they recently restructured their QA department or something.

"No. An event that initiates a run is not considered fully resolved until that run is complete, and thus is not trashed until afterward." Everytime I look at the engine running FFG's LCGs I begin muttering as I slowly lower the hood back. Makes no drat sense.

If it was trashed before the run completed, run events wouldn't work because there would be nothing to resolve. Similarly, Deuces Wild wouldn't function if you chose the 'expose a piece of ICE and make a run' option first. You have to resolve the whole card before an event gets trashed. So Sure Gamble goes like this: Costs: Pay 5 credits and 1 click (plus any additional costs that might exist) Play: Play Sure Gamble Resolve: Gain 9 Credits Trash Sure Gamble. If the trash and resolve steps were swapped, the resolve step doesn't occur because there's no reference for the effect. berenzen fucked around with this message at 21:22 on May 2, 2017 |

Sure Gamble makes sense because there are no player actions possible between playing the action and resolution. A run is a lot of processing, and every other game with a robust system would have the "at the end of the run" be a suspended trigger with the card in the discard by that point. Look, I stopped judging ANR events a long time ago. I've got no dog in the fight. But there's so many little things that FFG decided on while implementing it that would only make sense if looked at sideways while squinting if only there wasn't a lot of path already bushwhacked ahead of them.

Netrunner's rules make sense to me as designers trying to avoid complexity at every step and accidentally creating something far more complex and unintuitive than a single unified structure.

I see a lot of negative reviews for TD here and on Reddit. I was thinking of picking it up for some casual games with a friend, neither of us are big netrunner players but we both like the setting and game. Is it worth it for the narrative or are we better off just avoiding it?

Having not played TD but being a big netrunner fan in general, I suspect the really critical reviews are coming from the super hardcore fans. I think a casual fan would probably enjoy it a lot, from what I've read.

As a super hardcore fan I am quite enjoying it, the criticisms seem to focus on the campaign being imbalanced and the narrative not being all that. Both are fair points, but I felt like it was a result of opening big Timmy campaign cards with pretty inconsequential flavour text. The campaign's involved a lot of laughter and swearing for me, but I think it's a matter of the temperament you go into it with. A finely honed battle of wits this is not, it's a box for throwing cards at each other in mock outrage. Overall I'm satisfied by it and want to see how they refine the concept. I'm cutting FFG some slack for trying something new.

Mopus ruins limited formats, straight-up.The story cards were really cool though, it was awesome reading the story where Todachine shows up and is a badass, then seeing his card, where indeed he is!

There was a very hearty What the gently caress?! when I saw that card go into my buddy's Skorpios deck. Close second: Opening the Cautions in Runner Pack 2 and being a Shaper. I feel like Mopus isn't all that when the format is really fast, the Corp has IPO and Hunter-Seeker, and your in-box breakers heavily depend on spare MU. Oh, and no tutoring and only 2 Mopus in the core, better hope you draw/NVRAM it. It's still a good card, but it's not your one-card solution to all problems like it is in Draft or such.

Whats everyone going to do with the early sets? I havent bought a set since the end of SanSan, and now that a huge chunk of what I own is going to become garbage this year Im pretty disenchanted with paying 200+ to catch up. edit: From that review, pretty much this: quote:When my friends and I started going to meet-ups, everyone in the scene was playing around five games a week, which means the refinement of our decks was a magical, personal process. Today, when you and your friends can test the same deck six or seven times a night, with no tedious sleeving and unsleeving cards, you end up with brutal decks that are more science than art. And yeah that box is comical:
