    Smilingknight got a reaction from Marinealver in Did Nasir released Apex?   
    In Apex's preview this is one of the suggestions made for us to consider, but like the Joker, I doubt we'll ever get a deal origin.
    Unless we get a novel featuring it.

    Smilingknight got a reaction from Marinealver in What is the core design of Netrunner?   
    There isn't really a faction circle, although some IDs are really strong against others (Reina is great against a Foundry deck for instance).
    Mostly I would just point out the things the factions do best.
    Criminal has a lot of derezzing and tricky run events
    Anarch has all the fun viruses and destruction
    Shaper has the tutors and lots of card draw.
    HB builds large servers and has fast advance
    NBN is fast advance and tag and bag
    Jinteki is net damage and shell game
    Weyland is full of money and tag and bag.

    I want a jinteki identity that makes unique cards not unique. They make clones! Make up for it with a low influence,

    For #5 maybe a current that says select a scored agenda, that agenda's text area is blank. That way there is a way to get it back and it is usefully against more than astro script and nisai.

    The subroutines go off and the runner suffers the effects. If one of the Subroutines is End The Run, then the run ends, otherwise the runner continues

    The pod-based system seems to be a hit among the boardgame crowd.
     
    I'm sure most of us have seen plenty of posts by newcomers to LCG/CCG's who are interested but find deck building to be very intimidating.  To be able to tell these people that you can build a deck by picking 10 cards from a chosen faction or pair of factions and end up with a playable deck is fantastic.  Note though that the system guarantees a playable deck, not a competitive one!  It will usually have a few tricks in it though due to a lot of objective sets containing cards that synergize with each other, and if they pick objectives that follow a theme the odds go up.
     
    This gives newcomers something they've never had before - the chance to try out this type of game without being scared of falling on their face and ruining the experience.  If you haven't been part of the board gamer crowd before, these are guys who play a LOT of different games.  You don't get weeks to convince them that your new card game is a good one, you probably just get one try and opinions are formed.  What do you think usually happens when someone who doesn't understand an LCG and has never played if before tries to build a set of decks for his buddies?  Chances are one or more decks end up unplayable.  Nobody has a good time, and pleas to "give me another chance" fall on deaf ears.
     
    For a substantial audience, this is a revelation.  But that doesn't mean it's for everybody.  Some of us LIKE the process of deck building.  We're tinkerers, and enjoy tuning and swapping cards as much or more than we do playing the actual game.  For those people, pod-based building is not going to be their cup of tea.  That's fine.  Not everyone has the same tastes.  Just understand who you are and what you like and choose your games accordingly.

    Smilingknight got a reaction from magni2 in Why do you need to insult others?   
    Played a game of Planet Strike last night. I was Necrons, my friend was Raven Guard Space Marines. So we ended up in a meleé and his guys were using a weapon that concusses my guys and they killed one of my crypteks, and Trazen the infinite my warlord. Necrons are evil space terminator mummies, so get a chance to self repair. The cryptek gets up, but Trazen doesn't and we debate whether this repaired robot body should be concussed. Then Trazen takes over the cryptek's body instead of dying. Should this guy be concussed?
    Hilarious situation, and we went by the fluffy reason of this actual beat up body should be concussed but I don't know often this comes up in the rules. If it was a tournament with money or prizes on the line and not just pals around a table? I can see things getting out of line.

    I'd like a wild West LCG if it was something completely new. Like you used identities like in Netrunner, and you had to gun fight and it had cover to hide behin or really anything that isn't a rehash of other games but now with cowboys.

    FFG will not put this online until the industry improves the current standard of ICE. FFG is very concerned about the security of it's agendas, even if they have to take some bad publicity in the mean time.

    Satellite Uplink exposes installed, but unrezzed cards. So, if they expose Psychic field, then it's effect is triggered. Netrunner is all about balance, every strategy has a counter strategy and Exposing cards is a fantastic way of forcing Corporations to rez ice (through the new Criminal Console) or avoiding traps laid down by the Corporation. So, Psychic field exists to punish Criminals who expose cards before running.

    I'm a big nerd, so I want a mech game. There's a few old ones that could be licensed like battletech or heavygear or even one of the gundam games, but I'd rather have a new one, maybe with the TI setting

    Heavy Gear Blitz stuff is just about the same scale I think and they do some good desert housing terrain. And they have some free print out terrain on their website. http://dp9.com/downloads?qt-downloads_tabs=1&qt-downloads_heavy_gear_blitz_tabs=12#qt-downloads_heavy_gear_blitz_tabs and the buildings are the uban series on the bottom
