After 83 episodes, Terminal7 comes to an end. Nels and Jesse discuss what made the game special, what it meant to them, if anything else could ever take its place (spoilers: no) and how we even got here. We're sad the game is ending, but happy for all the good times and friends we made along the way. So long, and thanks for all the clicks.

In the penultimate episode of Terminal7, Nels and Jesse are joined by Run Last Click to say goodbye to our dear departed friend, Mister N. E. T. Runner.

The world changed and, this time, the game did too. Not content to simply shake up the game with rotation, Netrunner now also has a Banned/Restricted list. And the episode was recorded *after* the news this time! The Bloo Moose is blown, Aaron is axed, Faust is forbidden ... what are Runners and Corps to do in this new world? Join Nels and Jesse as they try to find out, because they aren't sure yet either.

Terminal7's final broadcast from Mars arrives, bearing news of Crimson Dust and their machinations. There's quite the broadcast lag from Mars, but certainly not much has changed since the transmission was sent ... right?

Nels and Jesse are joined by Run Last Click to discuss the Revised Core and wrap up rotation conversation. Come October 1st, the world will be changed ... again.

After a long hiatus (sorry!), Nels and Jesse return to discuss the penultimate pack in the Red Sands cycle, Free Mars. Also, this was recorded before the announcement of the Revised Core, so please ignore all the bits that were made obsolete/inaccurate less than twelve hours after this episode was recorded. FFG, you scamps!

The rotation conversation continues, as Nels and Jesse move on to discuss what will happen with the cooperative of clones at Jinteki and the wily Weyland Consortium. There are many friends we'll miss, but could there be any we'll miss as much as a weird deadly psychic baby? Join and find out!

The rotation situation continues to evolve, and Nels and Jesse dig into what this means for the Anarchs and Criminals. Are DLR going to be missed? Probably not, but what about everyone's favourite maybe-or-maybe-not bioroid son?

Terminal7 is joined by Dan Spinosa (aka CodeMarvelous)to discuss all the wonderful things he does, as well as how rotation is going to alter the game in general and shape the Shaper game in particular.

Blood, water and other fluids dampen Mars as Nels and Jesse talk about the fourth data pack in the Red Sands cycle- Blood & Water! Obokata is Obo-killer, we're going down to old Maui and we love dumptrucks. Join us and we learn the secrets of Martian construction, no matter what the cost.

In the third pack of the Red Sands cycle, we see Jinteki has bamboo wackiness, Weyland has shipping locked down, the Anarchs love to keep on punchin' and, apparently, you can never trust the cleaners on Mars.

Nels and Jesse are back of a bit of a scheduling fiasco to discuss the cards from Terminal Directive as just general parts of the card pool. And, more importantly, they attempt to discover if one truly can be chosen from birth to become a provost.

Terminal7 returns to Reign & Reverie! This time, the Runner side of things are discussed, include one precocious youth who hates cards, a troubled psychic clone and one very loud senator. Special guest Paul Gross joins Nels and Jesse to discuss the final half of the final expansion for Android: Netrunner.

Nels and Jesse have piled into the pub and made their way through the much-anticipated campaign expansion Terminal Directive (no relation). The first half of this cast is spoiler-free high-level impressions and in the second half, the spoiler gloves are cast aside and everything is fair game. Join us, figure out why those golems are killing people (maybe) and discover exactly how the game differs when you enter the "Steve State."

We make planetfall on Mars and discover that there are new cards even at Station One. One cha-ching new runner and one big-armed douche await, along with some very important pigeon facts. And because you so love pigeon facts, join Nels and Jesse as they discuss the second datapack in the Red Sands cycle.

Mars crimson planet and bringer of war is where the Red Sand cycle takes place. Weyland's Jemison rocketry division builds upon sacrifice, but will they achieve success? Will the runner's ... less good cards bring them success? We explode into space and find out in the Daedalus Complex!

A Quorum has been reached as the Flashpoint Cycle comes to an end. Ṣifr has brought the sky crashing down ... or has it? Aaron Marrón is secretly really damn good. And it turns out we're all guilty of something. Join Terminal7 as the sun sets of Flashpoint and a new day waits just over a crimson horizon.

The long arm of the army law has come to New Angeles. Martial Law has been declared and with it come so many things. The eponymous satrap of Caria, friends in all the right place, a Russian witch with a very strange brew and literal Mind Games. All this and more in the 5th data pack in the Flashpoint Cycle, so come dodge the curfew and join Terminal7 as we discuss it!

Terminal7 is joined by very special guest Dan Clark of Fantasy Flight Games to discuss his new Android: Netrunner novella Monster Slayer. What's Reina's favourite food? If GRNDL is this bad, what must GRNDL's mother be like? Join us and find out!

Worlds! Terminal Directive! Intervention! There's a lot to talk about, from that sneaky Smoke to Hass-Bioroid drawing up blueprints for the future, so join Nels & Jesse as they dive it to the latest datapack in the Flashpoint cycle and more more more.

Things have escalated. In looking at Escalation, the 3rd datapack in the Flashpoint cycle, we learn that Jinteki now has a really big buzzsaw, all the conspiracies really are true and why you should never own a parrot.

After a brief hiatus, Terminal7 returns to talk blood and money. The most impactful datapack in quite some time, a fuchsia kitten, Genghis' legacy and one dedicated report means the fallout from the 23 Seconds Incident is just starting to be felt. This is the beginning, not the end.

Special Guest Leigh Alexander returns to Terminal7 once again, this time to discuss Monitor- her newly released novella set in the Android universe! Leigh discusses how she came to write about her favourite faction and why Jackson Howard is misunderstood (but still a little creepy). Monitor captures the intersection of surveillance, social media and entertainment that is the dark heart of NBN, so join Terminal7 in looking at our new favourite piece of Android fiction!

The final Netrunner expansion, deluxe or otherwise, is upon us and Nels and Jesse dig into the Corp side of Reign & Reverie. Pressing questions like "What is the Sportmetal ball's shape" and "Why did we program these artificial bees to sting" are examined, as well as some pretty sick cards.

23 seconds was how long Titan Transnational's servers were offline. In meatspace, that's not even enough time to hum Sunshine Junction's theme song. But on the net, that's lifetimes and more. Trillions of credits are just gone. Who was behind the attack? Who stands of profit? How will Weyland react and how will its competitors take advantage of the situation? Fine out as Nels and Jesse discuss the first data pack of the Flashpoint cycle- 23 Seconds!

Mighty and mad, the massive masses are massing! Election day has finally come in the Indian Union and with it, change is in the air. But with charges of rigged results and a tragic political assassination, will this new government ever be seen as legitimate? And could any government hope to challenge the sway megacorporations hold over all of Mumbad? Nels and Jesse discuss the final datapack in this most exciting Mumbad Cycle, so come along and see what you ought to Fear the Masses.

Nels and Jesse have their minds freed by the fifth data pack in the Mumbad Cycle. Paths most noble, chelas most liberated and brains most stormed, The Liberated Mind is perhaps the most wonderfully weird data pack yet. And most importantly, you'll discover things about spices you never knew.

Salsette Island's population is one of the highest and most dense of any island in the world. It's also got some of the fanciest, most exclusive parties and the most sophisticated bioroid butlers in all of the three worlds. What does the four data pack in the Mumbad Cycle offer? Join Nels and Jesse in crashing the soirée and find out!

Clone suffrage is the biggest political question in the Indian Union, but there is an even more fundamental question beneath it- are clones human? Echoing back to the outlawed caste system, the answer seems obvious on its surface. But the consequence are more wide-spread than they might first appear. If clones are people with the right to vote, does that mean Jinteki can now simply print new voters, genetically engineered toward a certain ideology? Whatever the outcome, the actions leading up to that decision will change the world's largest democracy forever. Terminal7 discusses those questions and more as they break down the third data back in the Mumbad cycle, Democracy & Dogma.

We have arrived at the Gujarat district of Mumbad, home to the most prolific and advanced agricultural technology in all of the Indian Union. Jinteki's Pālanā Foods division is boasting breakthrough after breakthrough. But runners throughout the union are asking just how Jinteki is making those breakthroughs and at what cost. Rumours swirl about a defective clone line- is a scandal about to break? Join Nels and Jesse as they try to determine if Business truly is First in the second data pack of the Mumbad cycle.

Nels and Jesse have taken the IDs selected by the community to a Store Championship. How did they fare? Was The Professor's tenure enough to shield him from the prying eyes of the Near-Earth Hub? Did Jinteki's new mind-mapping algorithms keep their servers safe from nefarious runners? A report and many listener questions are answered in this most clone-ridden of fields.

Terminal7 finds itself in India! The sights, the sounds, the smells- like nothing we've seen before. Khala Ghoda begins the Mumbad cycle and from its artist colonies to its universities and temples, India has much to offer runners and corporations alike. How will this change how we steal and advance our agendas? Join Terminal7 and find out!

The ballot boxes have been unsealed and the votes have been tallied. The result? Our listeners are kind but cruel! Terminal7's audience have selected the IDs Nels & Jesse will play for the next while. But what did they select? And how will Terminal7 approach their selections? The only way to find out is to jack in and hit play.

It's 2016 and he NAPD has a New Year's resolution- to kick down doors of Runners and Corporations alike all across New Angeles. Their Most Wanted List has introduced a potentially huge shakeup into how tournament decks are constructed. But not to be outdone by the NAPD, Nels and Jesse have a heap of changes of their own. New resolutions abound, include a promise to clamp down on our own flightiness. Instead of drifting from deck to deck, they're going to focus on a pair of IDs each. But which IDs? That's up for the listeners to decide! Log your vote here and in a week, Nels and Jesse will take the top selections and focus on those decks for the next several months, at least. http://goo.gl/forms/XzmD6CZWV8

Well, all things must come to an end. And to this, Netrunner is no exception. The license for the game from Wizards of the Coast has expired without renewal, meaning Netrunner will end in October of this year. Nels and Jesse parse the details and, undeterred, also discuss Kampala Ascendant!

Chris and Eady from Run Last Click come over to Terminal7's house for the holidays, where we discuss 2015 in Netrunner. From Order & Chaos to Data & Destiny, with a delicious SanSan sandwich in between, what a year 2015 was. Highlights, lowlights and one very musical interlude await!

Terminal7 sits down with FFG's Dan Clark, Katrina Ostrander and Zoë Robinson to talk about Netrunner's Android setting, the upcoming Worlds of Android book and just how sweet cyberpunk India is. For more on Zoë Robinson and the art of Netrunner, also see Terminal7 ep. 29 - https://www.idlethumbs.net/terminal7/episodes/out-of-work-intellectual-camp

The Netrunner World Championship of 2015 has come and gone, with legendary tales of crashed centrals and unassailable remotes resounding through the icy plains of Roseville, Minnesota. Joining Terminal7 to talk about their experiences are two of the 16 best Netrunner players in the world- 2nd place finisher Timmy Wong and the best Canadian player, Toronto's Dien Tran. What was their secret tech? Their most clutch plays? And why is there stew in the garage? Only Terminal7 episode 41 has the answers.

Leigh Alexander joins Quintin Smith as Terminal7 returns to discuss the NBN half of Data & Destiny! New Angeles' best news agency, the hottest marketing agency and the worldwide global information network- NBN's new divisions have introduced a whole heap of new playstyles. With new agendas, more currents, more adverts, a wicked new sysop and one very weird piece of ICE, there's a lot to love in the "data" half of Data & Destiny. What new decks will arise and how will these new offerings make their way into our favourite old NBN lists? Join us at 11!

The first bioroid to stand on the brink of true sentience- shocking. An... AI? A virus of unheard of power and reach? Maybe some other life form beyond our thinking? Truly bizarre. And most surprising of all- a mom. Quintin Smith from Shut Up & Sit Down joins to discuss the not one, not two, but three new mini-factions that are Data & Destiny's Runners. How malicious is Apex? How can Adam break from his chains? Just how rad is Sunny's uniform? Join us to find out!

We stand on the brink of a date ... with data. And destiny. We are destined to date data. *ahem* With the impending release of Data & Destiny, each faction will now have one major expansion for each faction, plus three new mini-Runner factions. At such an interesting time in the game's development, Terminal7 sits down the Netrunner's lead designer Lukas Litzsinger to talk about the development of Data & Destiny. In some ways, this brings the first chapter of the game to a close. Lukas will be granting the mantle of lead designer of Netrunner to Damon Stone, so we also discussed that changing of the guard, how board/card game design differs from video game design and how Madmen was a springboard into game design.

Nels and Jesse arrive at The Universe of Tomorrow. What splendour! What majesty! Even entrepreneur, investor and magnate Laramy Fisk has been seen at the expo. All of the Big Four has setup their own pavilions and plazas, but whose is the most impressive? Perhaps it's not even any of the technological marvels on display at the expo itself, but rather the recent announcement of H-B sponsoring the SanSan Outlaws? Only time will tell, but there is no question that The Universe of Tomorrow is a herald for things to come.

Nearing the end of the SanSan Cycle, we come to Old Hollywood. But always fashionably late to the party, Old Hollywood is replete with glitz, glamour and a heap of interesting new cards. NBN's Executive VP for Media Relations Leigh Alexander joins us to sort the masterpieces from the award bait.

Their cyberdecks were emblazoned with inukshuks, wild roses, le Fleurdelisé and even the simple maple leaf, but they were all there for one purpose- to win Canadian Netrunner Nationals. Terminal7 is joined by its first Winnipegger guests Ciara and Craig, to talk about their trip to Canadian Nationals, what decks they packed and how to deceive your opponents without ever even trying.

With the Netrunner Canadian Nationals (Netrunner nationale du Canada) looming, Terminal7 is joined by Vancouver player Keith Gaudry to discuss all the factors that go into preparing for a big event. Reading the meta, deck composition, dealing with data packs released days (or day!) before the event- all play into how to get ready for a big event. And Keith reveals his secret weapon. No spoilers, but here's a hint- "sausages."

Nels and Jesse visit Owen Falls and explore the Whispers in Nalubaale. Come meet our new friend Freedom, but uh, maybe don't book a hotel in Mwanza.

The Underway belongs to the Muertos. They can be powerful allies to the Runners, but be careful, once you step on their turf, you're playing by their rules. The fourth pack in the SanSan Cycle sees a host of new Criminal cards, including one very unique ID. Not to be outdone, the corporations can now out Runners for working with such merciless criminals or just simply hire a hitman. For both sides, the seedy depths of the Underway offers some very interesting possibilities.

Finally wrapped up a much dispersed series about Runner archetypes, Nels & Jesse discuss the high-level archetypes of each faction and what makes them distinct. Also "fundamental" is said a lot.

The BC Regional took place last weekend, and Terminal7 was out in full force. Jesse constructed his Corp deck by drafting against himself, join to learn how such things are possible. We have also arrived in the dark alleys of Chrome City and their greymarket cyberware dealers. Is it worth having your face peeled off so your boring normal skull can be upgraded to a rad metal skull? Only one way to find out!

Nels & Jesse arrive at the University of the Californias at Breaker Bay and it's game day! Getting a campus tour from a young astrophysics student, the scale of the London Library and the Tyson Observatory are both quite impressive. And all the megacorps are on campus today, at a hiring fair. They're scouting for new talent, showing off their impressive new server-specific ICE. Excitement, energy and one wicked party out by Monterey Bay. So, only one question remains - who is inside the Finn mascot costume? Go Sharks!
