Blast from the past:

QuoteFantasy Flight Games is proud to announce the upcoming release of Android: Netrunner! Originally designed by Richard Garfield and released in 1996, Netrunner was widely hailed as one of the greatest customizable card games of its era. Now, with Android: Netrunner, players can look forward to revisiting the game’s exciting play… or experiencing it for the first time.

Android: Netrunner is an asymmetrical Living Card Game™ for two players. Set in the cyberpunk future of Android, the game pits a megacorporation and its massive resources against the subversive talents of lone runners. Corporation players try to score points by advancing their agendas, and netrunners try to score points by breaking through the corporation’s defenses and stealing valuable data. The first player to seven points wins the game, but not likely before he suffers some brain damage or bad publicity.
"I give the gift of endless imagination."
~~Gary Gygax (1938 - 2008)

"Ghost Whistler" is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). Parental death, alien battles and annihilated worlds.

There were so, so many good CCGs that got wiped out by the post-MtG boom and bust.  Netrunner looked good but I've never been able to stomach RTal's CP2020 fluff.  Here's hoping the Android-themed remix works well.

The X-Files CCG was a treat of good design, too.  I suppose you could Conspiracy-X reskin it trivially.
D&D is becoming Self-Referential.  It is no longer Setting Referential, where it takes references outside of itself. It is becoming like Ouroboros in its self-gleaning for tropes, no longer attached, let alone needing outside context.

Netrunner just went to the top of my gencon buy list; I've regretted dumping my cards for years now.

Cool. Now we just need someone to blow some life into On The Edge and INWO and I'll turn into a teenager with too much pocket money.

My character sheet was inexistant, and when I hastly made one the GM didn\'t care to have a look at it."

Just to say I played my first game of Netrunner. It was a blast.

Anyone else playing?

Picked up the game last December but haven't got a lot of sessions in.  Been avoiding the local community because I have no chance of standing up to people who buy two or three core sets...

However going to meet up with some friends for more casual play this afternoon.
