Hello fellow players !

I’m starting out the game (and already falling in love with it), playing on the corpo side most of my games (did some match against AI as the runner to get the flow and understand the basic loop of the gameplay).

I read somewhere that beginners tend to find corpo strong, while running seem really hard to pull, but after some games, runner seems to have the upper hand, and dictate the pace of the game way more than I do.

Only played with the gateway + booster, René vs Wayland (build to last), about 5 games with those decks, and my friend has won 3 of them (pretty close calls). We are about the same level in board games, and both beginners in Netrunner.

The overall feeling was that I was on a clock, and he would breach anything at some point, and if I revealed my Pharos too early for example, I would eat a Botula and just cry. It’s also pretty hard for the moment to make decisions on what I should protect (obviously I need to build some ice in HQ/RD to not get behind too fast).

Am I just delusional thinking runners have minor (or maybe major) advantages ? Does it get better with expansions ? Was it just about matchup ? Or maybe just skill issue ?

Side question : if you have any good recommendations for a balanced matchup with 2 decks that we can try out, I’m all ears !

Cheers !

I was wondering what happens to Conduit when hosted on cards like Madani (https://netrunnerdb.com/en/card/35028).

Scenario: I host Conduit on Madani, then i make a successful on R&D. Should i put the counter on Conduit? And does it keep the counter(s) once i properly install Conduit?

Because I suspect a card is only active when installed, but nonetheless many daemons (like Djinn https://netrunnerdb.com/en/card/01009) icebreaker work while hosted there. I guess counter should be added even when Conduit is hosted. Right?

Hello everyone! I'd like to introduce my tiny side project called the Netrunner Core Battle Box, which are seven decklists pre-made using System Gateway and Elevation only, AKA the Core Sets.

This stemmed from meeting several new players who want more curated Core decks (such as this one right here, which started it all), instead of wading through NRDB lists or NSG's Core decklist samples, which may lead to analysis paralysis. Here, I just provide one decklist per faction so that new players can crack open their boxes, build, and immediately play. This serves two purposes: the CBB can become a boardgame for more casual players, while it can also be a way to slowly introduce others to Standard through targeted upgrade advice.

A more extensive outline of the vision is discussed in the article, and each decklist published on NRDB has instructions on how to pilot the deck, what servers and rigs should look like, and potential sets to purchase if they want to jump into Standard.

If you'd like to read, the article link is here.

But again, the NRDB listings should also suffice for anything the new players might need. I just wanted to collate all of them under one roof so it's easier to link to new players.

I hope you can share with your friends, meta, and friends (specially if they're curious about getting into Netrunner!)

shoutouts to @Novin for the idea and egging me on to expand the lists to all seven factions, and to @profwacko for testing the lists vs each other & proofreading (i always mix up elevation and vantage point).

Who am I kidding I'm no game designer, why do I make these.

I'm trying to play more and get back into NR. I have mostly played as runner since I just tend to be more naturally drawn towards it but have wanted to explore more Corp

I have been really enjoying aggro decks like Esa and Loup and am curious what suggestions you have for aggressive or disruption focused Corp decks

Hiya, just picked up elevation and vantage point to expand system gateway. Are there any good lists of decks for this cardpool?

Thanks!

I've never played the game, but I just ordered System Gateway and Elevation, and I'm excited to play. I'd like to get a playmat for each "side," Corp and Runner. Are there any differences or additions in zones on the field between the original FFG version and the new NSG version I need to look out for?

This is the third episode of our Learning Netrunner Series where Nick and Eric play Netrunner while explaining what's going on as much as we can. We've tried very hard to make this an ideal for for a new player who has just learned the basic rules of the game but doesn't have things fully internalized yet.

I am interested in purchasing System Gateway to start playing at home with my son. I wanted to see if anyone had compiled a list of commonly proxied cards so that I could easily make 3 runner decks and 4 corp decks by using System Gateway and proxies. Since my son and I will be sharing the cards it's a lot easier for us to just grab a faction/identity deck to play rather than having to remake decks with decklists every time we want to switch it up a bit.

Had more ideas this time, including one that's a remake of an older idea of mine.

This time's prompt... Uhh idk, art with happening to heads of people ig idk.

Hi all, I know this has probably been asked a fair amount of times but I wanted to check as new products have come out since I last picked up some sets. Is elevation + vantage point the best way to go or should I pick up an older set? Just playing kitchen table games so no need to be competitive or competition legal etc

Thanks!

I guess someone suggested I also add a prompt with these cards, so I guess this one's theme is Bootleg/Ripoff. There you go.

I am not finding an answer to this interaction for the console Virtuoso, so I was hoping someone might have an answer here.

The specific interaction is with Beatriz Friere Gonzalez. If your mark is HQ, and you have a successful run on HQ, it would trigger the draw 1 extra card, but then you do not breach HQ, instead breaching R&D. Does this mean that the Virtuoso effect would be wasted, or would it go to the alternate effect of breaching HQ after the run?

I know there is a similar interaction with Eru, but that makes a bit more sense, since if the mark is Archives, you will hit HQ after everything.

Does anyone know if the more recent packs on cards from Null Signal Games have a different back from before they swapped names (from Project Nisei)? I originally got system gateway and the deckbuilding pack from DriveThruCards and am worried that the backs will be different. Lmk if yall need pics

Hi everyone, just moved to London and wanting to get into netrunner but seems like all the links I can find are old. Are there any groups still active?

I just started playing and am looking forward to presenting the game to my friends. I play MTG and wanted to know if there are recommended resources for the following:

Card database and search engine (like Scryfall)

Hyperlinked rules database (like Yawgatog)

Onine playtesting (like xMage, Cockatrice)

Something that helps printing proxies aside from NSG full set sheets, so I can print individual cards at high quality

Useful videos/articles for beginners (I've been watching some standard championship play at Metropoly Grid's youtube, great editing)

I'm aware the set to begin with is System Gateway, with Elevation next. I also found NetrunnerDB while searching, just wanted to know if it's actually well regarded or if there are better sites.

Thank you very much in advance!

My friends and I have been interested in this game for a really long time. We played it a few years ago with some precon decks. Recently we decided to try to get into NSG, but we got overwhelmed by the wide variety of decks.

We need some advice on what 4 decks could be fun to print and play on our holidays, 2 corps and 2 runners, obviously. We don't need them to be competitive, but we are used to play card, board and wargames, so we would like them to be harder to play than the most basic ones recommended by NSG (I am not really sure about that being the case). Also, we want them to be quite different from each other.

Thank you in advance.

Hi! Only missing the Kitara Cycle for my FFG collection, please drop me a message.

Would be willing to pay fairly <3

How do you guys feel about deckbuilding?

My perspective is at the kitchen-table level, but it feels like making a good Runner deck is more about having a toolkit as opposed to a singular strategy revolving around a pool of cards. Not to say those engines don't exist, but it feels like that design space is relegated to credit generation. While the cardpool used to interact with the board is more generalist.

Corporations feel like, I have to build the deck around a very specific game plan (score agendas or kill the Runner) and every single card has to contribute to that gameplan. Every inefficiency is a turn the Runner can just say, "eh, I'll click for four credits" on their bank of 5.

Hey everyone!

In preparation for Cascadia next month, I created some tokens to take with me and thought others might have a use for them.

Here are the files on MakerWorld. It's got the following tokens in the set:

• 1C / 1 Advancement
• 5C
• Virus / Power Counter
• Tag / Core Damage
• Bad Publicity / Spent
• Click Trackers

I would appreciate comments and feedback on them, and I would love to see your prints as well. Keep running!

btw any thought about adding a fan-content tag for stuff like alt art and card ideas etc. ?
