Hey all,

I see interest for Original Netrunner (1996) creep up on here from time to time and try to pop in to be involved in those discussions. But just wanted to make a quick post with a new thing I found as well as a quick snapshot of other useful areas to probe if you ever find yourself searching for info about ONR.

First: I'm not sure exactly who is behind the Lisboa City Grid project but I love the work they have been doing! I also found they have an older blog chuck full of ONR goodies and fan content and that can be found here: https://nrohub.blogspot.com/

I want to make it clear that as of right now I'm not affiliated with this project in any way (other than donating) and thus not doing self promotion but merely a fan of the efforts happening by this person(s) to both preserve ONR history as well as generate fan content.

Another invaluable resource is netrunner central found at this link: https://www.arasaka.de/ I've plugged this before but I just can't stress enough how great that info is if you are looking for old info about the game, meta, decklists, etc.

Another place to check out and is a ton of fun are the old duelist magazines found on internet archive. Specifically issues up to 1996-1998 (after that the game died for the first time) Someone else posted a handly linktree to all those magazines in chronological order and that can be found here: https://linktr.ee/semarlow its fun to read about the early buzz around the game that wotc was trying to create for it

Another resource is this reddit post from 6 years ago that has MPC formatted proxies for all the ONR cards that had massive amounts of work done to upscale the images and make the old cards accessible: Sorry for the large link gore but here it is: https://www.reddit.com/r/Netrunner/comments/hu282l/original_netrunner_mpcformatted/?share_id=7tKviyTaiwaIcCDZFVyjZ&utm_content=1&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1

Here is a link to a deck-builder for ONR as well as a handful of other dead TCGs https://www.tcgbuilder.net/ - Another little indie project but I did slide this guy a few bucks to add some features to the netrunner deckbuilder that I wanted. Its hard to say how long this type of stuff will stay online but its there and working right now and its great!

If you are looking for trades or trying to source actual old cards there is a facebook group called dead CCG collectors and Netrunner stuff pops up from time to time but I will say that in those circles it's one of the most sought after and quick to get snatched up items.

Another rare thing that most people have never heard of is an old long out of print book called: Mastering Netrunner. I could never track down a PDF of this so I ended up buying it on ebay but it usually goes for about $50 - $80 and TBH it's not really necessary for any reason other than being a collectors piece BUT it does have a wealth of info about the early days of the game and does discuss NR strategy thats all common knowledge about the game, its fun to read.

Okay I think that's all the primary info that I have. Just trying to make it easy for anyone searching in the future about ONR stuff.

I don't have any illusions that ONR and ONR fan content is kind of the niche of the niche but it would be cool to see some more activity over there if any becomes interested, again I'm not running that site, just a huge fan!

Lastly; if you are ever looking for specific ONR trades or just want to sell ONR cards, please send me a DM. I love to trad / buy old ONR stuff!

Cheers!

Another card, another flop.

Hi!

I'm currently working on an update to the brilliant https://chiriboga.sifnt.net.au/index.php

I've already added all Vantage Point cards locally (more sets on the way), and I'm currently attempting to improve the corp AI opponent by adding the ability to properly evaluate server security and be able to bluff competently.

Here's the roadmap: https://github.com/Greenpaulo/chiriboga/blob/main/documentation/corp-ai/roadmap.md

What I need:

I'm using coderabbit for code reviews, but the free limit depends on github stars - 1 review per hour per star. Atm I only have 1 star so 1 review per hour which is slowing down my progress. Soooooo....

Any devs out there fancy staring the repo and helping me speed up my code reviews?

Main repo link: https://github.com/Greenpaulo/chiriboga

Cheers!

Hello! I am wondering if anyone has had positive experiences with building lower-power level eternal decks, either through a series of guidelines or a specific format with a much longer ban/points list.

I would love it if there was a framework like magic's Commander brackets for playing with the old card pool. I want to introduce my partner to some of the old cards I love, but corp combo decks vs ultra-fast Andromeda isn't really what I'm looking for, and I'm not sure where to draw the line.

And now for part two of our coverage of the fourth Reboot Project booster for Netrunner: Equity and Eternity. This time around we take a look at the Runner cards in this booster, the majority of which are original designs. And, like most of the boosters, this one focuses largely on one faction: Shaper ... and the interesting 46/15 statline. We'll also do an extensive analysis of the cost of adding memory. Presented in eight segments:

1:15 anonymous tip (magnum opus)
6:30 satellite uplink (runner, Equity and Eternity)
19:05 sharpshooter (new icebreaker option in Equity and Eternity)
28:30 lucky find (new economy options in Equity and Eternity)
38:30 datasucker (memory units)
71:25 connect the dots (original runner cards in Equity and Eternity: Hype / Hope | Smashing Spree | Trailblazer | Company Mixer | Refragmenter | Furnace | Cartographer | P3tri | Karim Hamdan | Multitasking | Chronicle | GyroDrive Soles | Sonia Nahar: Steadfast Salvager | Fuzzing)
141:55 sacrificial construct (Egret; decklist: Learning to Live With Egret)
152:40 astroscript pilot program (woa: pp. 187-189 worlds war pt 1)

Hello,

So I'd like to really dive into Android Netrunner, I bought System Gateway several months ago because I didn't really want to bother printing and having ugly results

HOWEVER I'm french and even though I'm not bad at understanding english, I realised that it's quite tiring to learn a game, its rules, cards and effects in a language that isn't my mother tongue. I haven't found System Gateway in french and even if I did, I originally wanted to try Android Netrunner because it's a deck-building card that you can play without much money.

So I think i'm ready to print the cards myself and take the time to do it well. Might even be fun who knows ? I'd prefer not to use the classic combo "paper/trash MtG card/sleeve" because I'm trying to use less plastic in my life. The process I was thinking about was:

1. Print on classic paper
2. Cut the cards
3. Glue them on a trash MtG card
4. Paint the back with the right color (red/runner blue/corp) with spray paint for example
5. Coat each side with spray hair lacquer or just spray lacquer to protect the colors

The other option was to print on a thicker paper but I guess you would need a specific printer for that ?

Either way, I don't know if coating with spray lacquer would be the right way to go for stuff that will be used and manipulated quite frequently, maybe even slightly folded. I know some artists like charcoal artists use this technique to fix the colors

I know it may sound futile or even meaningless to try and work without plastic sleeves, especially with the fact that lacquer often isn't palstic-free, but I would still like your thoughts, opinions and advice on how to do this

EDIT: Thank you all for your answers and advice, I guess I'll just give in to sleeves, might also buy more than 50-ish per side since I'd also like to play with friends with my cards and allow ourselves to deck build

EDIT2: someone on another sub recommended me this video https://youtu.be/8M1gfxdglas, I won't get rid of the plastic problematic (probleplastic) but maybe if the back is either uniformly printed (one color per team) or if I paint the back before I laminate it can give a pretty good result ?

Not affiliated, just figured I'd share.

Another older idea.

I've been away for some time, 2021 last time for me, what's the state of the game online now in 2026?

Hello, I found Creation & Control, Honor & Profit, and the campaign expansion at Goodwill. Would you recommend getting these if I just have the revised core set?

I just tried jinteki.net and none of my decks are legal any more 😄 a couple of questions:
How is the game after Null took it over?
Are there still many players?
Any advice on how to catch up after so long?

New to this game but I just bought an Android Netrunner collection that is supposed to include core through data and destiny and terminal directive. Everything came overflowing in a cardboard box. I’ve got a Bulkbox and dividers on the way, but I’m hoping to get some advice on how to organize everything. Should I be sorting cards into expansion groups? Factions? Or just runner vs corporation?

And is there a must have expansion or release that I should keep an eye out for in the future? Thanks!

Made because there are no expose cards nowadays.

Recently got back into netrunner and always missed the shiney paper from other tcgs so I got some custom foils done for our group and now im curious what other people have bought \ made

Another older idea.

I just found out about this game. Fascinated by it and dying to try.

Is there any reason to get Android instead of SG?

Thank you!

I bought system gateway and system update 2021 on the used market.

I need to buy the tokens so I think I will do an order from null signal shop.

About system update I know it is rotated, but is still worth having and playing or should I just replace it with elevation and vantage point.

Keep in mind I will play at home with my friends, we don't have a local netrunner scene.

The proofs just came in on this new Jinteki ink painting set.

This set will first be available for purchase at Worlds in Montreal, along with my other previously published works.
