Deck Hardware in Netrunner
-Feature Articles-

by Jens Kreutzer and Muneki Tada

Always looking for material to publish in the TRQ, I couldn't help noticing that the Japanese Netrunner players tend to write a lot about their favorite game. This is partly due to the fact that some players take the time and effort to translate rules and card texts into Japanese and write some clarifications to go with them, in order to help their friends who are perhaps not that much at home with the English language, but it can also be attributed to a lot of creative energy that sides right alongside with that of the prolific French community. You might not know, but there are (amateur) softcover publications (with manga art covers) that are in one league with the legendary French "cyberbible".

There is also some online material in the 'Net, and to make some of that available to the general public, I've translated and edited an article by Muneki Tada (Regional AI Japan) on Deck Hardware, and written some general comments myself as an introduction. These feature articles are geared towards beginners, but maybe experienced players will find two or three bits of interest as well. Enjoy.
