#netrunner

Last post was horrible things corps can do to runners, so I thought it’s only fair to show some of the mean things the runners do back (the most mean things, unfortunately, I don’t have the full arts for).
Cards: Run Amok, Clan Vengeance, Bhagat, Cyber Threat, Escher, EMP Device, Hacktivist Meeting, Compromised Employee, Account Siphon.
Artists:RC Torres,Kate Laird,Matt Zeilinger, Shawn Ye Zhongyi,Maciej Rebisz, John Ariosa, Mitchell Malloy, and Outland Entertainment LLC

I really should use this blog more - and after the netrunner world championship (sadly online, but it meant I could play, as it wasn’t a fair chunk of money and holiday needed), I’m pumped enough about netrunner to post again (also someone told me they liked it). I’ve got a lot to write, and a lot to post, but that’s for a day that’s not today. For now, have awesome art, some old and some reasonably new by: Adam Schumpert,Priscilla Kim,Alex Kim, Juan Manuel Tumburus,R J Palmer, and Lorraine Schleter
Today’s theme: nasty things the corps are doing, usually to the runner.       Cards: Vulcan Coverup, Witness Tampering, Traffic Accident, BOOM!, Enforcing Loyalty, Attitude Adjustment, Freelancer Snatch and Grab

I’ve posted this before, but Emilio Rodriguez basically is the set designer for like 80% of corp IDs - and The Outfit (the mob gone corporate) is one of my very favourite IDs in the game. Also he just posted this the other day, which gives me hope that some of his older designs will filter though onto his artstation over time

These four, I’ve not see on any Android product (so far), and while I can guess at the artists by the style and who’s art is already in the pack, I can’t be certain 

Oh, except for this one, which I’ve seen around, but have no idea where it’s from. It’s by  Mauricio Herrera though.

These are all pieces I’ve posted before (I think), but they’re cool and they’re in the pack. 

Art by  RJ Palmer, Trudi Castle , Henning Ludvigsen (x2), Adam S. Doyle,  Mauricio Herrera, Emilio Rodriguez, Matt Zeilinger 

Can’t go wrong posting Liiga’s art - cutting down the backlog a little bit at a time.

The top is a particular fave of mine - Quantum Predictive Model, embodied here by a super adorable/scary Schrodinger’s Cat

3 Pieces by the rather excellent Andreas Zafiratos (one of which I think I’ve already shared, but it’s being unrotated and boy oh boy do I need to talk about Nisei and Netrunner and WoA still as well, geez)

The excellent Donald Crank hasn’t put up all their work, but what they have put up is pretty amazing (bonus unreleased Pachinko included)

I’ve been reticent to write publicly about Netrunner since I was booted from NISEI, but I can’t deny that I’m finding my way back into the game after a long while away. I guess I’m back in?

In the past few months:

• I contributed to an upcoming, not-so-secret reskinning project that includes significantly more urchins, libertines, and perfume than Netrunner. More on it as it develops, but I’m thrilled to have been a (paid!) consulting game designer on this fun project.
• I had another piece on Netrunner published this fall, entitled “Exploring the Sporting Metagames of Android: Netrunner.” This was a weird piece to write — I started it and completed most of it in the week before FFG officially announced their shuttering of the game (so, early June, 2018). Then NISEI started rolling, and I rewrote a lot of it over the subsequent year. It’s in a special issue about “the sporting mindset” and I discuss Netrunner from the lenses of fan communities, competitive gaming, money, and memes.
• I started streaming Netrunner athttp://twitch.tv/s_c_d — well, to be fair, I streamed once. And I lost all of my games, making me reticent to do it ever again. But I will, eventually! Maybe?
• I bought a ticket for PAX Unplugged next week, and signed up for the East Coast Championships. There are only a handful of spots left if you’re somehow reading this, going to PAX Unplugged and feel like spending all day Saturday playing a ded gaem. I’ve never liked the Penny Arcade bros and have always been wary of their community, but I’d like to play in one Netrunner event in 2019, and this seems like a wonderful one.
• I decided to offer a course on Tabletop Games this coming summer at the University of Virginia where, for the first time ever, I plan to actually teach Netrunner. It will be part of a larger class on understanding “analog games” in game studies, but I’m still giddy at the idea that I’ve figured out a way to slide this game into a course.

Anyway, welcome to my nineteenth Rebirth in the game. I’ll try to post on this thing more regularly in the future, assuming I don’t get sick of the game and/or shunned again.

I’m going to reblog this, first for the cool Rebirth art by Hannah Christenson, which I may or may not have shared before, second for sdc managing to get teaching netrunner into his job (kudos!), and third for him being a generally cool dude.
