I didn't like any of the random cards because I didn't like leaving anything to chance. And watching an opponent futz with Playful AI for 20 minutes was always a drag. On the other hand, on the occasions Bartmoss crashed, those were enjoyable. There was a place for random cards in the game. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did write to FFG with the notion that they contract me to write about their game, however. Not Byron Massey's, because he died, tragically. The others were enthusiastic.

Frisky AI 0 Posted May 23, 2012 It's the oddest thing to look at the the other threads. 20 years ago, we had these conversations. 15 years ago, we repeated them. And here we are … again My best friend had a baby when NR v. 1.0 was new. He had a second kid in time for Proteus. A third kid when Classic came out. (The fourth kid was Dominion or something.) That first kid is ready for college. The most experienced NR players got old. How'd that happen? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would've behooved them to ship a set to me for BayCon this weekend so I could introduce the game to folks, but there's not yet a hint that they care about the old-timers who can sell the game better than they can. dude it was 20 years ago.. most people do not know who the **** you are.. nor do most people care.

randomblink 15 Posted May 31, 2012 Sorry but I have to majorly disagree. A blink deck was the most fun I ever had playing NR. Hell, I just got my gf addicted to old school NR and I've already started reconstructing my old Blink/Weefle decks. Dice add that additional random fun to the game… in my opinion.

Matthias, Skip Pickle and Frisco… those are the names I remember from old school netrunner. Just found skip on twitter… twitter.com/skipperpickle Brings back memories… can't wait to crack open a new booster pack. It's been too long… (please let there be blinks) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Penfold3 0 Posted May 31, 2012 There won't even be booster packs. If there are blinks they won't be the old ones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dboeren1 294 Posted June 22, 2012 I won using a Blink in my last game as Runner. I had an early lead but had somehow not been able to find a single Code Gate breaker and the Corp was making the most out of it and eventually they were going to win if I couldn't get through. When I drew a Blink, I had to take the chance on it. Yeah, I got burned a bit along the way, but it worked Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
