As someone who is already into tabletop games, open-source, and Shadowrun, how did I not know about Netrunner (a community-managed cyberpunk TCG) until recently??? All I need are people to teach the game and this will basically be the summation of everything I am.

The sets contain the full cardsets, so no gacha nonsense. You can buy the cards from the non-profit publisher, or you can print-and-play for free. Proxies are legal at all levels of play.

This is...completely agreeable?

Oh man, I am always so excited to see people discovering Netrunner. It's my favorite game, hands-down. I'm on the visual, narrative, and steering teams for Null Signal.

Welcome!

I don't have any big qualms with the board game industry; designing and marketing games is one of the best uses of capitalism, in my opinion. But I am firmly in the camp of thought that games aren't the stuff in the box, they're the rules and ideas that define and frame the challenge. If your game is a real game, then those ideas are public.

Anyway, #Netrunner is full of deckbuildy goodness, has a very interesting corp/runner asymmetry, and has hooked me enough that I've already made a few decks and gotten a little too distracted testing and improving them. The only thing missing so far is some clean printable card templates (instead of the full-color, detailed card images).
This may inspire me to finally find (or make) some tools for doing graphicsy layout stuff in LaTeX (which I've been wanting for making character sheets anyway)

There have been some community efforts at making, like, more printer-friendly proxy tools. I've seen people talk about them in the Green Level Clearance Discord server if you're interested. The one that I remember seeing that was sort of… minimizing ink usage basically used a Google Sheet or similar for layout and had some way to pick cards and populate the layout with the right text and numbers.

@benhamill I am again trying to convince myself to try to get on Discord, but have still not succeeded. The combination of "you can't sue us" in their terms of service combined with them wanting real personal information to continue using an account still puts me off. Sadly, it continues to be the main or only method of communication for a number of groups I'm interested in :/

Yeah. Discord is definitely… not ideal. Sadly, the ease-of-use and -sign-up makes it hard to shift the community. That and there not being a self-hosted chat system that has a remotely comparable user experience. It's a struggle.
