Zephro posted:My objection to Rumour Mill isn't so much the pure power level (although it absolutely ruins any Jinteki deck that wants to leave agendas on the board for more than a turn). It's just really bad, binary, sledgehammer game design. "Your cards do nothing" is both frustrating and boring as a concept because it leaves very little room for counter-play. Employee Strike is nearly as bad for the same reason. Corp IDs tend to be very impactful and decks are built around them. The fact that it hoses the more interesting IDs more than the generic ones makes it even worse - shutting off say, IG or PE or Blue Sun is more impactful, I think, than shutting off Palana or Sync or ETF. Cerebral Static is just as bad. They're just badly designed, unfun, non-interactive cards. A Good Opinion.

CodfishCartographer posted:Don't know how powerful this is gunna be, but oh boy is it going to be super fun. They also pointed out that the runner encounters the outermost ice, not approached it. This means the runner cant jack out. But it also means you can't rez it. So you'll need to have rezzed already whatever they're gonna hit. May I suggest splashing for Executive Boot Camp to rez a Whirlpool over a well-trapped archives and live the dream?

Self-Adapting Code Wall is hot garbage, though. Magnet is the same cost, 2 higher strength, a less-common type, already blanks Parasite (AND Caissas) and can suck up parasites/caissas from elsewhere. There's no way the influence is worth such garbage-tier ice. SACW might actually be worse than Salvage, if such a thing is possible.

Baron Fuzzlewhack posted:What exactly is the 23 seconds incident? And Whizzard is dead in whatever storyline there is? Null leaked some intel to Omar Keung about how to hack into Titan Transnational. Omar did and shut down everything for 23 seconds - all transactions lost, and trillions of creds evaporated. The fallout was worse than the crime, as markets seized as the unassailable e-currency of credits was found to be unsafe. Elizabeth Mills decided that perennial thorn-in-her-side Whizzard, who was soon to rotate anyway, would be a handy scapegoat and hit him with a SAM to quell public fears about the netcrime menace.

What happened to RSVP? It seems good, no spending money on breakers to break future subs, and is effectively a hard ETR in front of trashable assets (especially with Prisec around now) I know, I know, "positional ICE," but for corps that can't spare the influence for Chum, it seems super strong, and it's in that sweet spot of code gates where it's Yog and David-proof (NRE can DIAF)

CirclMastr posted:What happens if you host Scorched Earth/Traffic Accident? Or an operation that costs clicks? Or Biotic Labor that gives you clicks when it's not your turn? I assume that (due to the wording) Doubles would be unplayable, since you can't pay all costs, as you have no clicks. Not sure what Biotic labor would do, I don't think you can spend clicks on the runner's turn, but then they did errata Chairman Haas just to sidestep that particular issue. I could add "if able" to the end of it, which would handle any provisional ops like Scorched Earth.

The Deleter posted:Since nobody is going to actually answer this, I'll answer. Khan's suite is about making a big run on HQ, derezzing all the ice on the way, gaining a bunch of multi-access, and then hammering it over and over in the traditional Criminal manner. The problem with this is that all of her stuff is really expensive. One of the problems Khan suffers from is Splash damage. everyone is so terrified of ice destruction out of anarch that they don't run expensive ice anymore for fear of losing it so you do-rezzing ice doesn't do anything much when the Corp can rez for a credit or two

berenzen posted:As for the players, I find that they're less cliquey and far more helpful. Yeah, you'll get your jerks (particularly online), but I think it comes down to a much smaller playerbase. If you drive players from playing in your area because of toxicity, then that's 1 less player to play with. With already such a niche game that makes it difficult to find games, the players keep their toxicity down to make sure that players come back. Agreed that NR players are more helpful, if only out of desperation to get more players into the game. I would absolutely recommend netdecking, NetRunner isn't magic and the game isn't won or lost in deckbuilding, but on the board state. Magic has a lot of simple board states (their blocker is tapped, so send the team, etc). While those board states exist in NR, it's only for a turn or two at the beginning; basically after the opening pokes, NR is purely about finding your outs, establishing your lines of play and balancing getting set up with advancing your win state. To this end, I recommend netdecking because it lets you see how this is done in a competitive environment. I'd avoid any complex combo decks like CI7 or Dyper Kate, but the raw power of a bog-standard CtM or HB Fast Advance vs a Temujin Whizz or Rebirth Andy can show off a lot of what the game does well without being incomprehensible, and the more you play these tier decks, the more you'll see how it's knowing your outs and your lines that win or lose vs just getting the draws/matchups like in Magic.

NEW ANGELES REVIEW! It's not Battlestar Galactica, not even close. It's very, very different. Yes, there is a traitor role, but it's not so much antagonistic as it is competitive. The asset cards are wildly swingy in power, everything from "draw twice as many cards as everyone else" to "once in a blue moon gain 1 capital" You need to be aggressive in your negotiations to achieve your goals, but this leads to bogged-down yelling matches. Why this game didn't ship with a three-minute sand timer for the support round I'll never know, but I liberated one from another game and I have to believe it will be radically improved by it next playthrough. There is some wonkiness with the rules, as the "End of Turn" step literally happens in the middle of the turn, and then more stuff keeps happening. One of the players picking GlobalSec makes the game trivial in the beginning, as their super-power card just mutilates the board's ability to do bad stuff to the city, and if you're the traitor and someone else is GlobalSec I don't think you can win. The minis are all orange, despite having 3 VERY different effects, and I need to paint them immediately (or at least prime and wash them into the three colors) to help them stand out. The art is all stolen from existing cards. Jackson Howard is a loving pissbaby terrible card, and that makes me sad, I was so excited when he popped up. Weyland Consortium is very true to NetRunner, since they theoretically are strong but actually suck a whole bunch and other ID's are actually better at doing what Weyland wants to do. Anyway, that's my story. Shrecknet fucked around with this message at 18:14 on Dec 9, 2016 |

CirclMastr posted:I'd be willing to give this game a shot if someone else bought it, but it doesn't sound super appealing. It's a really good and fun game. It does a good job of not having downtime when you're not the "active player." I think it's a worthy successor to Dead of Winter, just not a better game than BSG at ramping up paranoia. We also probably made a thousand misplays (I still don't quite understand how turns/rounds/event card flips work) but it definitely was fun and NetRunner as heck with literally 7 different things that could be going wrong at each of 10 different locations.
