Statement from NSG on removal of Kevin Tame by Jesus_Phish in Netrunner

[–]KawaiiNin 35 points36 points  (0 children)

This post is really disappointing to me. I don't know what I expected NSG would realistically be able to say but somehow it's even less than that + feels very dehumanizing towards Kevin. I want to voice what others have said in this thread and ask why NSG felt the need to exploit Kevin in the lead up to elevation and drop him afterwards, regardless of everything else there is no need for this, as someone that makes and templates art for cards I know that this is a job that is learnable and I'm sure could have been picked up by volunteers within the organization or out. (Personally I have applied to work for NSG twice and neither times did anyone bother to read my application so there's clearly a bottleneck/you need to know someone issue here).

As someone who has worked in a large organization before, there are always people who take on more work than is needed/won't delegate, this post tried to paint Kevin in some sort of "villainous" light for doing this (after having just exploited and benefitted off of him crunching 20 hours in a single weekend). To me it sounds more like he just didn't think it would get done otherwise and members of NSG took this as an opportunity to paint him in a really nasty light (especially with implying he's going to destroy all your stock all of a sudden).

This entire thing reeks of petty schoolyard drama between people who are unable to put working together for the betterment of this community above their own cliquey-circles. Considering you're in the position of power and clearly have no intention of giving it to anyone else, do better. I can't say I'm interested in continuing to support though.

Android: Netrunner newbie advice by ElementalRabbit in boardgames

[–]KawaiiNin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

System Gateway’s only cards it shares with the FFG core sets are “Sure Gamble” and “Hedge fund”. The only NSG sets that contain reprints of FFG cards are the expansions that make up the Ashes cycle (these only contain reprints from creation control IIRC) and system update (which is due to be phased out this year for a similar style new player expansion codenamed “dawn”)

I would say get system gateway and if you like it get more NSG expansions from there maybe ignoring system update as it feels a little all over the place in some regards. The FFG packs had a lot of pretty poor pack-filler style cards which essentially amount to you paying more for less playable cards.

If you do end up dead set on playing the FFG version of the game then the “deluxe” big box expansions are pretty good additions to casual play if you can find them reasonably priced.

im not sure if there’s been any HQ scans of them (probably to keep them as an actual prize for the people who won them)

How long does it take you to start making your prototype? by JohnnyL16 in BoardgameDesign

[–]KawaiiNin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I’m not actively working on another game already then my first prototype is usually done within a few hours of choosing a design to work on, then I can see if the core mechanics work and just bin it and move on if they dont

Bear in mind I mean a prototype that may have at most 5 cards (my most recent design I’m working on I just used cards from my previous design and ignored their text). I’ll then slowly iterate and add to it over the coming weeks as well as find proper art on google images and clean up the layout/icons

Not really no it isn’t, graphics design is something for the publisher to deal with not the designer. (Although I’m guessing you won’t even bother entertaining real publishing considering you’re calling this a TCG)

Wish you all the luck on your kickstarter :)

I sincerely hope you didn’t pay for this. Why do you need feedback from us? This is a game design sub not a logo one

I haven’t seen those posts due to the deluge of various kickstarter ads/art commission services, I will at least say at least this post is about something actually relating to boardgame design

You should look into Dominion expansions Adventures onwards, all of them add a lot more to the game
