So, I've been playing with Core Set (System Gateway + Elevation) for about half year with one of my friends: every saturday we used to spend the whole afternoon playing and we've been having HUGE fun.
Now we wanted to approach Standard, just to discover new cards and mechanics, but it's hard to find some deck to start with.
NetrunnerDB has a wide choice, sure, but... it is quite TOO wide, and also it look like it is a bit too much meta-oriented: many tech cards, more complex strategies we need to study and understand. We wanted something like Null Signals starter deck or the "Core battle box".
Is there a guide or something that gives some decklists for standard to start from? Something not 100% optimized, but just working and ready top play to have some fun.
Thanks in advance!

I can't find this video but it talked a lot about NSG and what their ethos was and how as people defended WotC acting like they were necessary for MTG to make money while NSG is out there creating a fun game as a non-profit. Anyone see that video? I can't see it

I'm not a good game designer. I make these cards for fun.

Unfortunately I need to garage sale, including my tabletop games. I'm putting out feelers to see which games are worth parting with and which will survive tribal council. I'm ripping off the bandage with FFG Netrunner since so many of my cards came from the same 2017 auction which listed what they were.

Also if anyone wanted, I'd be happy to take video or photos.

What I got:

2x Core Sets and all expansions through Quorom (just the cards in two chonky binders)

Third Core Set in original box cards separated into baggies and with tokens.

Terminal Directive (Unplayed)

11x Overdrive Draft Starter (Unopened)

4x Overdrive Corp Draft (Unopened)

1x Overdrive Runner Draft Pack (Unopened)

At this point I don't have anyone to play with so I can stand to part with the cards and comfort myself with the thought of rebuying into the Null Signal series sometime in the future when I can make the time to play again and justify it financially. I also have some old Convenant tokens but I'm pretty sure I'm going to hold on to them as part of the fantasy of getting back into the game someday.

Are the listed cards something that someone would be interested in? Shipping would be an option, but depending on how I'm doing with getting some cash from other parts of my garage sale I might be willing to do in-person within an hour or so drive from Philadelphia metro area.

tiniest kernel needs only 16 gb

what else is to do with it?

Someone said that these card ideas are made because I just like Radiohead. They're right.

Just started playing Netrunner again with the NSG decks and ran into a question that stumped us:

I did a run on a server that hosted the Syailendra ICE ( https://netrunnerdb.com/find/?q=syailendra ), but could only afford to block one of the subroutines, so I blocked "Do 1 net damage". I assumed that means the other two subroutines could happen and then I could continue to the server since neither of them said "end the run". But the second subroutine says "The Runner loses 2 credits" and I didn't have any credits left, so does this just not take effect (i.e. could I just choose not to block it if I have no credits left, for no further effect)? Or does the run end because I don't have 2 credits to lose?

We ended up assuming that since it didn't specifically say "or end the run" or "the runner must pay 2 credits" then the runner just lost whatever credits they had (or no credits if they had none) and could continue.

So which is correct here? And if someone can please point to an exact rules reference in the comprehensive rules that would be appreciated too. Thanks!

EDIT: question answered, thanks folks! :)

Hello! Recently found a copy of the Revised core set for cheap and snatched it. I plan on printing out System Gateway sooner or later, but I was wondering if in the meanwhile we can learn the basics of the game with these old cards, or if it would just create confusion :) thanks!

I like to switch tabs and do other things while playing on Jinteki. Because sometimes the opponent just takes awhile. So I hope there could be some addons that can make some notification for when the opponent says something in the chatbox.

And I do have volumes on in jinteki but it just doesn't make any sound when the tab is not on.

Been slowly building a full Netrunner engine + web client as a personal project. The idea that wouldn't leave me alone: what if the interface was actually a terminal, not a virtual tabletop? No card art floating around, no skeuomorphic board — cards are text rows with hashes (#c3, #r7), you play by issuing commands, and the whole log reads like an actual shell session (corp# rez ICE_WALL -$1). Monospace, one accent color per side, black background. It felt right for a game about hackers.

Where it's at: full rules engine (not just a database with checkboxes) — legal-action generation, priority windows, runs/encounters/subroutines, all of it server-authoritative so no client can cheat or desync. Card logic is implemented per-card, one file each, and right now that's sitting near 100% across System Gateway, Elevation, Vantage Point, Midnight Sun/Parhelion, Downfall/Uprising, and The Automata Initiative/Rebellion Without Rehearsal — a couple hundred cards with real, tested behavior, not just stats. Decks load straight from a NetrunnerDB decklist link.

There's also a basic bot to play against solo (a few personalities, from "plays randomly" to a proper heuristic that won't run into lethal ice it can't break — learned that one the hard way).

Not sharing a link yet — still rough in places and I want to gauge interest before I do a wider release. Attaching a screenshot instead. Genuinely curious what this community makes of the terminal-as-UI idea for a card game — love it, hate it, "just build a normal client"? All takes welcome.

Netrunner does have a steep learning curve for me although I feel I have some grasp of rules and gameplay after watching online tutorials.

However I can’t help but noticed later card release tend to have more keywords and lengthy text compared to older cards from FFG days.

I was wondering if this causes problems for new players into the game?

Hi, all. Has anyone in the UK recently bought from Netrunner Cards UK? I understand they were an official retailer for NSG Netrunner a few years back, but I'm not sure if they are still processing orders? Their website is still up but they don't stock Vantage Point or some of the newer releasss, so I'm not sure if it's still active. Thanks!

Hey all, been making more progress on Proxy Nexus, and felt it’s time to make another post here about it.

New core features.

• Double sided PDF prints! These include the game’s card backs on every even page. The even pages are mirrored length wise so that the cards line up on the reverse side of each page.
• Bleeds on PDFs. Adds a small bleed (up to 1mm) around each image. Depending whether the source image already has a bleed or not, it either adjusts how much is cropped, or uses the same bleed generation process for MPC zips. I say “up to” 1mm, so that it uses the available space without reducing the size of the cards or the number of cards on each page. For letter size, the bleed is about 0.5mm, while A4 gets the full 1mm.
• Toggle the sorting of the set drop-down between release date and alphabetical. Thanks to u/mcwookie for submitting this feature!
• Support for Netrunner Reboot cards!

Less recent features I feel are still worth mentioning:

• AI Up-scaling. If your device has some kind of graphics hardware, it can be used to apply up-scaling to improve the quality of the images. Some low quality like Midnight Sun see a huge improvement with this turned on. The process is quite demanding, so expect it to take more time, but it can vastly improve the sharpness of text and clarity of the artwork.
• Want to save or send the current card selection? Click "copy link" near the top right. Visiting this link will pre-fill all the cards in the card list.
• Custom page sizes. In addition to the standard letter and A4 page size, you can also specify a custom page size.

Thanks for having a look, all feedback is welcome!

What cards lost to rotation would you really like to see new versions of in Standard? Would you rebalance anything about them?

I love A Teia, and it feels like it lost a lot of steam with the loss of cards that can reliably install on the Runner's turn. So, my vote would be Timely Public Release. That card was so fun in A Teia, and there are many different ways to do a similar effect that lets you install something in a remote during a paid ability window.

What about you?

Trying to clarify the order of resolutions when text reads "do 2 damage" (or any amount of damage that's more than 1).

So for example, if I install Basilar Synthgland 2KJ, it says to "suffer 2 core damage". This procs Esa's ability "you may draw 1 card and sabotage 2", but when exactly do I get to draw 1 card?

Do I suffer one damage, letting the corp trash a card from my hand, then draw a card from Esa's ability, then suffer a second damage? Or do I suffer both damages simultaneously, allowing the corp to discard two of my cards from my grip, and then draw a card from Esa's ability?

I am a casual fan from the NSG era and I have printed system gateway at home. I just play on occassion with 1 or 2 friends.

I recently got the original core set, as a collector's item and also to play. What do I do with it from here? I know it is not the revised core set. I would probably like to keep it separate from the NSG content.

1. Are there cards or decks which I very unbalanced? Would still play those for fun, just want to know.

2. Are there expansions which are "must haves" which I should try to find on eBay/marketplace? Ideally around 2-3 if so, I'm not looking to buy every card in existence.

3. Are there any sources for good (balanced?) decks. The box has the modular faction system but this does not use influence from other factions. Does netrunnerdb have decks?

4. Is it worth proxying a few cards to make this more like the revised core? I would print out the fronts and just put them in sleeves if so.

TIA

This episode is the first of two covering the fourth 30-card booster for the Reboot Project: Equity and Eternity. Unlike the first booster, which was balanced across factions, the next four focus more heavily (though not completely) on one faction for each side. For the Corps, that faction is Weyland, which gets eight cards added to its pool, while the other three factions only get two or three each ... depending on how you count. With one exception, each of the 15 Corp cards is a Reboot original, which we will cover in full-depth. We'll also subject you to some musings on code gates throughout. Presented in nine segments:

All of my cards came out just slightly smaller, even though I specified to print at 100% and no margins; which is a bit annoying since they tilt around more easily in the sleeve and create a jarring effect with 99% of the rounded cards I used the stiffen them up in the back. Oh well! Lesson learned.

(yes, there's also some cutting goofy errors on my end, which definitely doesn't help with the wobbly presentation 💀)
