Rotation and Core 2.0 should have come out a long time ago. Core 2.0 reinvigorated Netrunner. It seems like they were too timid/scared to make people buy replacement cards for stuff they already had in their living card game model. People were clamoring for a fresh start and not "ugh I need to buy how many cards since I joined in 2016 instead of 2014?" Hell, most people burned out in Mumbad cycle due to this and also the crazy design choices, and only the death and subsequent rarity of packs made most (including me) go out and finish their collections. Factions should have had a base trait/skill, and then additional ones per identity. Criminals get Gabe's money on successful HQ automatically, plus then Gabe gets something else. Or something. jeeves fucked around with this message at 18:26 on Jul 2, 2018 |

Maybe a small bit of income. Crim: The first time each turn you access a central server, gain 1C. Shaper: The first program you install each turn costs 1C less. Anarch: The first card you trash each turn costs 1C less. Sunny: Base link +1 the first time each run? Adam: The first time each turn you make a run, gain 1C? Apex: At the start of your turn, you may install the top card of your stack face-down.

I'm trying to finish my collection and I have every data pack besides one, The Underway from the SanSan Cycle. If anyone has any online store leads or even a local place that has a copy of this data pack, I'd be very grateful and be willing to buy it from them along with a finder's fee + shipping (I'm in the US). It seems like stock has completely dried up for this pack in particular online, so it'd be annoying if it's forever the only gap in my collection. I have PMs if you want to message privately, thanks. EDIT: I found a possible site (a French store called Philibert) thanks to kinkouin that was within a reasonable price range considering my options. Thanks again, kinkouin.

I disagree with giving factions a unique trait, they already have mechanically distinct card pools. I feel like attaching more rules to each faction is going to damage the design space (or generally improve the good parts of that faction and not help the weaker parts.) But I do like the idea of a card pool built from cards that exist. Structures like: "For this event, Core 2, Honor & Profit, and Lunar Cycle are active" are interesting to me. I don't care for 1.1.1.1 because it's a chore to build in, but I would like to try a singleton event. From a high level standpoint, I completely agree that rotation was needed much sooner than Kitara. Unfortunately Mumbad and Flashpoint were also the points that introduced the most damaging cards and needed the most corrective action taken against them. I'm still mad at Genomics Prison, that deck as miserable.

JazzFlight posted:Figured I'd ask fellow goons about this: The Underway was the hardest one for me to find. It may be because this pack had Faust which was probably one of the best cards pre-MWL so a lot of people bought the stock up at the time and they never reprinted it? I found the last in stock in some rando online store in MA. Try looking up the FFGADN## number of the expansion and doing google searches on that.

Best idea for new cards: Don't. Second best idea: Make rotation continue to happen, just within the cycles we have. Next year, let's have SanSan and Genesis back, but drop Flashpoint & Mumbad. Year after that, let's drop Spin and keep Mumbad dropped, and bring back Flashpoint etc. Third best: Don't change cards, alter the base rules (much like the MWL did) so cards stay relevant. Add [Click] [Click] [Click] Shuffle two cards from Archives into R&D, or [Click] [Click] [Click] Gain 4 credits. Mess with the base systems so A. You can 'update' the game to keep it fresh with a simple system to roll it back and B. Don't modify the cards 'within' the system.

I could also see some crazy poo poo like having ice be part of a 15 card side board rather than part of your deck, and are always considered "in" HQ. Would free up a ton of deck slots for corps to try new stuff, and would provide some interesting options for how you want to distribute your limited number of ice.

Incidentally, I am hugely against sideboards because the game is already silver-bullety enough - There's zero possibility every sideboard would not include the variations of Caldera/FF/EStrike/Ark Lockdown that just make certain decks die.

I suppose that's true, but sideboards WOULD give more deck slots to work with, which I think the game needs. Especially for corp, there's just not much wiggle room.

Idea: You can use your 10-card sideboard before the game starts, but after you see your opponent's identity. Whatever it is, it has to be small, otherwise, yes, you'd just have an arsenal of silver bullets. 10 feels right to me.

gently caress sideboards. Pay the influence and be happy in the knowledge you're not going to blow out if you bump into a deck that you've teched against. A sideboard takes the whole deck-building process and throws it in the bin. The chance to include 'nuh uh your deck's now dead once I know that what it is' is garbage. Slots is the forever problem in netrunner, which is hilarious compared to back in the day when I'd include Dirty Laundries and other econ cards to fill a deck out.

I am strongly against community designed cards and even more strongly against sideboards. If you want to free up deck slots, come up with a limit 1 or limit 2 format to force players to have more slots.

I'm also pretty deadset against community designed cards on principle, but the Worlds champ-designed cards are generally really good and interesting so it's not like it's a totally impossible concept to achieve. e: VVVV very true, of course.

On the other hand, we dunno how much of the design / balancing was actually done by those Champs. They very well could have gone through several ideas that FFG veto'd, before settling on an idea that FFG maybe had to heavily tweak to make work.

In defense of community cards, ONR had only two sets before it died, so there was a lot of unexplored territory.

Did we see many of the community designed cards from the CCG appear in the LCG? Serious request for information, I don't actually know.

Probably not, if only for legal reasons. It's why MtG designers actively avoid reading fan suggestions, because if they do read the suggestion it practically guarantees it can never get implemented. If there's proof a designer looked at a card concept, then made that card, then the fan that made the concept could potentially take legal action. Of course, there's always the chance that by pure coincidence a designer made a similar card as a fan suggested, but that's not really the same thing.

For anyone looking for old data packs, beaniegames in the UK has a bunch and a lot of the old ones are half price as well. Managed to grab what looks like was their last copy of the Underway pack since its now disappeared off the site.

I think I've been reading too much about Netrunner because last night I dreamt that I was at a game store and they had the 2017 championship decks except the decks were actually big mech figures (???) and if you collected all 10 it unlocked something special.

Couldn't do numbers for a few days after that.

AgentF posted:Hopefully it's alright to post this here but some mates and I have started an RPG podcast and we set the first adventure in the Android universe. I'm the GM and my poor players have found themselves plunged into a gritty world of bioroids, corporate schemes, cybernetics and underworld contacts. As fans of Netrunner I figure you might be interested and give it a listen. Just got around to listening to this, and it's pretty fun. The players stumble backwards into exciting new problems caused by their own solutions, constantly, and it's great.

IIRC it was Magic but all creatures can attack lands or mill the opponent’s deck for cards = their power. Which at face value seems pretty prone to abuse.

Protip: find the FFG "model name" for the item, something like FFGADN43 or such. Then do a google search for that, and see if any small time shops have it on their online stores via that name and not the other name that other Netrunners have already snapped up. That's how I finally found the Underway.

Here's a fun one. Fiance and I haven't played this game in a few years but wanted to start a Terminal Directive campaign. Prior to starting we decided to do a few practice games with the revised core starter deck. Here's how her first turn went as corp: Click 1: Hedge Fund for 4 credits Click 2a: Biotic Labor for 2 extra clicks Click 2b: "...  "I let her mulligan and start over.
