Reviewing Null Signal Games's Midnight Sun Expansion for Netrunner

[@lucascardoso6151]

To me it always looks like they have the best time playing netrunner, more than any other game. Its THE game that brought me to the covenant cast

[@Vreely]

I miss all the Netrunner content of old. Thanks for doing this. It was great!

[@imanujakku]

Team covenant playing netrunner is like coming home. Its like 2013 in 2022. Good stuff guys!

[@rustymandude]

Always a pleasure to see Netrunner here; really enjoying the new Midnight Sun cards, hope y’all like them as much when they come! You are huge in keeping this game out in the public consciousness

[@beholdthestorm5038]

Midnight sun is an absolutely incredible set of cards. Totally worth the purchase

[@snogurt]

Will always be here for your Netrunner content! So many great memories. So fun to see you both revisiting this game via Nisei! - as if all from a half-remembered dream I also shared - “was it… Dave Holland? 🤔 There was Kate and then there was Kit 🤔“ - So weirdly comforting :) I still have and love and use your Netrunner tokens!

[@andrewfling5630]

No one covered Netrunner tournaments like you guys. Wish you were back out there giving the sweet commentary.

[@janypma2000]

Thanks a lot for going through this awesome expansion! Looking forward to more Netrunner games here, you're nicely balanced and take time explaining things, helping more and more people discover this great game! :)

[@ashtongaskill3980]

I was looking at how non-MtG games worked and went looking for how to play Netrunner and found this channel at the start of the pandemic just before you started doing throw back Thursdays. I picked up system gateway and love it, and it's the only tcg/lcg my wife is enthusiastic about which is a huge plus as well. Appreciate the introduction!

[@elzheiz]

Really wish I could see more Netrunner in this channel. I recently got into the game and I love your content, so it would be incredible to see some Netrunner every now and then!

[@KobayshiMaru]

Played System gateway and startup for a few months. Loved it but had a kiddo and took a break. Looking forward to playing again. Yesterday my brother asked me if there is a tabletop game that compares to esports. Tabletop and esports are very different animals but I told him that for both playing and watching Netrunner is the best, and then told him the whole netrunner Nisei story. We talked for a bit then co-watched your system gateway Nisei stream as a teaching tool so that we can start playing together.

[@WayOfHaQodesh]

Wow, that old video was when I got introduced to you lovely folks at Team Covenant. Great time for gaming and lcg's pushing into the competitive card games scene. Remember the many hours spent listening to you guys and Bad Publicity and many others. Netrunner was something unique for sure.

[@zsoltmoravcsik]

Please continue, new comers really appreciate and enjoy this kind of content! Cheers

[@JakeKamas]

Thank you for doing this review/showcase! It's fun to see you guys switch between netrunner action and table talk about the theoretical colors of the wind. I haven't actually played Netrunner yet, but the marine theme on Midnight Sun is absolutely beautiful and making me very interested. Thank you for showing it off!

[@teamcovenant]

Thanks for watching Jake, it's a great game and Nisei (now Null Signal Games) are doing an excellent job.

[@WayOfHaQodesh]

@1:53:15 "Pardon me for a second...." - proceeds to look at deck mid game. Oh my, got a solid hearty laugh outta that. Imagining Timmy Wong or Dave Hoyland or Dan D'Argenio saying that.... hahaha, oh the comments that come out of TC casts are pure gold. And they keep on comin.... oh my! The looks shared between the two of you @2:47:32 .... Hilarious! @2:48:47 Nearly rolling , rofling off the couch here in laughter. Gonna be going down as one of the greatest streams gents.... "Mmm I didn't know they made a card after me."

[@ExpectResistance]

Awesome, always happy to see you guys do a Netrunner stream. It's how i found you.

[@Bear-qs8ol]

I started playing when original core was release. I also dropped out around Mumbad. I play Nisei startup (System Gateway and Booster + System Update + Ashes Cycle + Midnight Sun) with a group of friends, and it is arguably the best Netrunner has ever been. Would love to see you guys "deep dive" down the Nisei rabbit hole. Your games are always the most fun to watch.

[@RyanDeLaTorre]

It’s so nice to see new Netrunner cards on the Team Covenant stream! I’m definitely excited for Midnight Sun and for the next pack in the cycle. Also, I would love to see some kind of click tracker token collab with NISEI.

[@willn9568]

Thanks for the continuing netrunner coverage! I have two sets of the team covenant data tokens plus grabbed last year’s holiday set. Lots of new netrunner players these days and they’re always admiring my tokens. Keep ‘em in stock! People will buy them!

[@TheAnalogRebellion]

Thank you for so much Netrunner content! Not only do you have the most Netrunner content, you have the best. Thanks.

[@jasonliang2932]

Netrunner (1996) is one year older than Knizia's Tigris and Euphrates (1997) so no question games that are still played 25 years after their release can be called a classic.

[@ubergamejunkie]

If you count FFG and NISEI years together, which you should because the two games are compatible, the second version of Netrunner has been going 10 years strong. If that's not a classic, I dunno what is.

[@VoicesofHonour]

1:18:45 you guys managed to get almost 80 minutes in before discussing the amount of clicks of the corps. Calling it a Personal Evolution is maybe a bit big, but I'm glad its not the end of the replicated perfection of this endless iteration ;) Thanks for the video's, you got me hooked again!

[@TheLEHaskell1]

Fun bit of theming on Endurance - that was also the name of the ship used by the Shackleton Antarctic Expedition. Ironically, it was trapped in and eventually crushed by the ice.

[@petsontherocks]

I just like 5 minutes ago watched their 5 year old netrunner series and wow. I adore you guys. Your really cool :)

[@tom2678]

Loved it, thanks guys

[@jwiebkin]

This got me so hype for this new set of cards.

[@scottcarlson2930]

Midnight Sun is so solidly designed. Nisei has been knocking it out of the park since System Gateway (Ashes felt a bit rough to me, as their first set). The card quality off of the POD services they partner with is fantastic and I've been really impressed by the quality of the art they've been commissioning for their original cards -- it's super gratifying to see several of my favorite regular Android: Netrunner FFG freelancers continuing their work on Netrunner with Nisei, in fact!

[@andrewjolly319]

Hey! Got into the game in 2018 as an out of the box heads up game with my housemate (just revised core). Discovered TC when we were googling the rules / how to play and by the time I wanted to go to meetups discovered the game had been 'cancelled'. It remains the only lifestyle game I have or probably ever will play, we had a GNK here in Sydney a few weeks back and I think there were 13 players - so not huge, but for a game you have do a bit of work to get the cards, pretty good I reckon - most of us play with only NISEI.

[@ImperatorZed]

Ordered a starter and can't wait for it to arrive. Counting the days. Gonna take a month.

[@astrothelad]

In response to the question at the end of the stream, NISEI has me thrilled and playing Netrunner for the first time since Mumbad Cycle (and I was playing it from day one!). Seeing a lot of pick up in interest and even new folks getting interested too thanks to what NISEI's been able to pull off.

[@MrZeroKage]

I ordered the whole Nisei catalog from DTC. there was and maybe still is a great deal on it all. I can't wait to get it. just got into netrunner after watching yours and SU&SD video on gateway. I'm in Vancouver and the netrunner scene has blown up in the last bit

[@andrewjolly319]

When you play with Midnight Sun, play some startup runners vs HB with SkunkVoid with, and without Pinhole Threading and see how you go :)

[@TonganJedi]

So glad to see some Netrunner play. It's been too long.

[@Hellblazer1897]

So excited, just got my new data tokens in the mail

[@teamcovenant]

Yes! Thank you Sam!

[@WayOfHaQodesh]

Sold all my Netrunner collection for 300 bucks Australian to a mate, kept a few decks though just for the nostalgia games, haven't bought into Nisei as the whole legal issue is a moral dilemma, and now having bought into FaB, I doubt I could get back into Netrunner unless these legal issues were solved, and you guys offered subscriptions etc. The cards seem fantastically well balanced and really in the classic netrunner feel. Great stream.

[@jkennethking]

I used to use the Covenant subscription service to get all those packs as they came out. Good times. That and then GoT 2.0... even though we don't have a very big LCG community where I am. Really enjoyed these games none the less.

[@joesolo1836]

I always hate when you two do a Netrunner stream... all it does is make me want to put all other games away, ignore life, and go play Netrunner!! This game is fantastic, easily top 5 game for me. I haven't played a game of it in yrs, but when NISEI took over, I made sure I was buying all the packs; never know when a game can happen. Both of you, enjoy your trips!! Bermuda and Paris are, obviously, both great destinations.

[@zip_zipskins]

i could just watch yall play netrunner all day long

[@teamcovenant]

We would love to play Netrunner all day long! Cheers Nathan.

[@hadzhere]

pretty sure that's the first vid i saw of yours...been subbed ever since

[@Guyinkgo]

I'd like to see some more games! 🙂

[@la_la_lasagna]

Ah yes the grey man, loved by both audiences and critics.

[@NullAndBoyd]

I loved Netrunner, but it was very hard to get people to learn the original. The amount of traps and splashes made new players scared to run. The System Gateway really helped balance that all out and it's been way easier to get new people to play.

[@Sz4r1ej]

when are the tokens coming back to the shop ? ❤

[@teamcovenant]

Join the waitlist - we do reprints periodically!

[@Teachermook]

Guys.... I'd like to request a formal tourney in netrunner... the rules are simple. It is a best of 5. You create a deck for each role, as best as you can, including the catalyst and the syndicate. When the tourney begins you choose a deck at random for round 1. For each round after that you switch roles (Corp one round, runner the next) In the fifth round you flip a coin and winner chooses which side. Decks will use what I call Legacy of the New Order, which would be only cards from NISEI, none from fantasy flight or wizards. The loser presents the winner with a trophy card!

[@FlackMonkey61186]

I regret selling all my Netrunner content, is it worth starting over with all Null Signal/is it comparable?

[@NullAndBoyd]

man I miss playing Netrunner.

[@Awesomecase]

The new set is great, I've only ever played the new Nisei stuff. Really, I only play the new startup format .It's been a blast

[@lovepiecozitsawesome]

I'd order the tokens in a heartbeat, but shipping to EU is almost as much as the tokens are :(

[@talon4lifeable]

Do you guys think L5R LCG will be continued by fans like Rage and Netrunner?

[@Thomazbr]

Its already happening. The Project is called Emerald Legacy. They released two sets of cards I believe

[@PumpkinJack88]

What is Rage?

[@Thomazbr]

@@PumpkinJack88 old card game based on the Werewolf RPG side of World of Darkness

[@brunosassonetorcello444]

I'm so delighted that you guys are doing some netrunner... tho you need to respect an actual meta card like pinhole threading (imagine it would have let you trash caprice back in the old days)

[@teamcovenant]

But Caprice isn't around anymore, right? Pinhole being good in relation to a busted card might not make Pinhole good! But yeah, surely it's quite solid.

[@brunosassonetorcello444]

@@teamcovenant annoetic void took a similar role in last years meta, so pinhole rn its a 2 off in most decks 🤓

[@Dreadnote-pf7of]

Maybe Im wrong, but doesn't this video get cut TOO much? Right now its start in a middle of conversation, with couple of cards already on a table and one of the currently being reviewd.

[@teamcovenant]

It absolutely was. Looking into it.
