I don't have any big qualms with the board game industry; designing and marketing games is one of the best uses of capitalism, in my opinion. But I am firmly in the camp of thought that games aren't the stuff in the box, they're the rules and ideas that define and frame the challenge. If your game is a real game, then those ideas are public.

@one_suit_samus Oh man, I am always so excited to see people discovering Netrunner. It's my favorite game, hands-down. I'm on the visual, narrative, and steering teams for Null Signal.
Welcome!

Anyway, #Netrunner is full of deckbuildy goodness, has a very interesting corp/runner asymmetry, and has hooked me enough that I've already made a few decks and gotten a little too distracted testing and improving them. The only thing missing so far is some clean printable card templates (instead of the full-color, detailed card images).
This may inspire me to finally find (or make) some tools for doing graphicsy layout stuff in LaTeX (which I've been wanting for making character sheets anyway)
