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:

1:40 breaking news (spring champs; lcg league)
7:20 anonymous tip (code gates)
15:20 celebrity gift (corp, Equity and Eternity)
28:40 matrix analyzer (buff to rasmin bridger)
34:40 server diagnostics (fairchild 2.0 and four other new ice options)
51:15 restructure (four new economy options)
67:40 market research (fairchildren and weyland code gates)
90:05 next level clearance (original corp cards in Equity and Eternity: Dark Pool | Carrington Flare | Project CAMB | Engagement Metrics | Curator | Iris Capital / Consolidation | Project Oskoreia | Natural Monopoly | Tenuki | Double Down | Oddly Specific Horoscope | Patent Acquisition / Injunction | Rate Hike)

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 💀)

Hi all, does anyone know how often Null System Games renews stock on their online store? I've been after a copy of Elevation, but it's still out of stock (I'm based in the UK) ; I'm deciding whether to wait or spend extra to have them printed. Thanks!

Quick update on the deck viewer I posted here a while back: it's now called DeckPeek and lives on its own domain instead of the old Cloudflare Pages URL: https://nr.deckpeek.app. Old links redirect automatically.

For anyone who missed the earlier posts: paste a NetrunnerDB deck link and the whole list shows up as actual card images, grouped and sorted, with influence pips, faction bands, agenda points and a legality check. Every card is right there as an image, no hovering needed.

I've been playing Arkham Horror and Marvel Champions for a while and only picked up Netrunner recently, which is why the viewer started here first. It now works just as well for the other two: https://mc.deckpeek.app and https://ah.deckpeek.app.

Still free, no account, no ads. The expansion to the other two games is still pretty fresh and actively being worked on, so I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback: bugs, complaints, missing stuff, all of it. Best reached at [mail@deckpeek.app](mailto:mail@deckpeek.app).

Thinking of 2 features to start:

• Hoverable cards in posts and comments. Like this HearthPwn post. (also screenshotted below)
• Sharing deck lists within the forum, not via external link.

These features simply make discussion and interaction easier especially for new players.

Note: cuz some may ask. A new forum doesn't mean you gotta jump ship and abandon old ones. It can just be on another Chrome tab. I was always a fan of Netrunner when it came out and have been following it since then. Figured this would be something cool to do if people are interested.

This card is the bane of this whole game. In a game where you can't reliably destroy ice (you need to play a deck that has it as a major gameplan) its far too easy to just spam out your assets and some weak but cost draining ice for the runner infront of it. So many assets costs between 3-4 credits to trash too now that its almost impossible to come out ahead if you run the assets and try to stop the corp from getting their fully operational online. I had a game recently where I am playing Loupe WITH an azimat and Fencer Fueno and you STILL can't keep the corp down when they have fully operational. It's even worse cause its soo good at drawing cards and generating money its super easy to just draw into spin doctor and shuffle it back into the deck too. Did I mention it costs 1, so you can't even stop them from playing it by running a well timed transfer of wealth of likewise to bring them to 0 credits, they will just basic action click for cred and play it next turn anyway. I am MISSERABLE playing against this card. Justified crashout.

After stopping playing netrunner when it went out of print.

Now years later we want to start again with project Nisei.

We already played this game so we won't need a start-up.

But when seeing al the sets on NetrunnerDB I am still abit confused on where to start.

Do we play standard?

What does the *rotated* mark mean next to the cards.

And what sets do you recommend to have a nice card pool to experiment and get back into it.

Was brainstorming an EarthSea deck and came across this. Hot damn, this is a sexy deck. Just the ability to apply pressure to force the runner to eat the ID while threatening a kill is sexy as hell.

Trying to determine if AU Co gets a token for sabotaging cards from HQ since sabotage states trash and AU Co states discard.

I'm new to FFG/NSG Netrunner, and I've never purchased any LCG cards before this. (I recently purchased the three "Starter" sets -- System Gateway, Elevation, and Vantage Point -- from NSG.)

I'm wondering how the LCG model works when you want to build multiple casual decks. (I still have quite a few casual decks from my Magic days.) Across all those decks, there are bound to be more than 3 occurrences of certain cards.

I hate card sleeves, so that rules out proxy cards. And, apparently, there's no singles market.

Am I obliged to purchase additional sets from NSG, even though most of those cards will never be used? (I'm willing to do that; I just want to make sure it's my only option.)

Thanks for any insight.

EDIT: Thanks all! You've confirmed that purchasing additional sets is the way to go, for me.

I'm an old-schooler who much prefers the look, feel, and handling of unsleeved cards. 🙂

And as a bonus, I'll be contributing to NSG's fine work. 👍

I've been thinking about this a fair amount on my own and am curious to get your thoughts. I haven't not been playing very long and was never around for original netrunner.

Seems like many card games and games in general that grow and attract new fna support more than 2 players. Commander being the best example. I think most play groups and gaming groups have more than two people in them and having to split your group to play netrunner is likely an unattractive option

Question: regardless of feasibility, how important is a supported multiplayer format for attracting new players?
