Netrunner Deck: Reina Roja, The Red Queen

Here’s a Runner deck that I’ve been tinkering with that tries to make use of Reina Roja, the latest Runner ID that comes with the Mala Tempora data pack for Android: Netrunner (duh). I’ve nicked this deck almost wholesale from the Netrunner subreddit (which is great by the way, check it out) but I’ve tweaked some stuff and have a couple of ideas for other changes.

Android: Netrunner

So I’ve been playing Netrunner a bit (and thinking and reading about it when I’m not playing it), and I’m convinced it’s one of the best games I’ve ever played.

I find this surprising and odd because historically speaking I don’t play card games beyond the occasional game of poker. In my youth there was an attempt made to learn games like the Legend Of The Five Rings (L5R) and the WWF (or WWE as it is now) collectible card game but there was nothing that ever really got its hooks into me. I found the theme and fiction of L5R (magic feudal Japan essentially, from what I remember) interesting but had real trouble understanding and employing the mechanics of play, whereas the WWF game was a bit more mechanically intuitive to me at the time but I had little interest in any of the characters or drama of that world.

It’s been too long.

I’ve missed writing. More soon.

I’m Back. Also Blood Bowl.

Man, it’s been a weird few months. Blog has been very, very neglected, that’s for sure. I’ll try and sort that out down the line.

Briefly, games-wise, we’ve been playing Blood Bowl on PC. Lots and lots of Blood Bowl. How much Blood Bowl? An entire league’s worth of Blood Bowl, that’s how much. You can find all the details starting here.
