Nels Anderson of Campo Santo and Jesse Turner of Slick Entertainment have at least two things in common- making video games and playing a lot of Android: Netrunner, Fantasy Flight's superb living card game. Terminal7 is a podcast where they discuss Netrunner, sometimes in the context of video games, sometimes just in terms of strategy, design or anything else fascinating about the game.

October 6, 2015 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.

September 22, 2015 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.

September 15, 2015 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.

August 27, 2015 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.

August 11, 2015 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."

July 7, 2015 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.

June 30, 2015 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.

June 9, 2015 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!

May 12, 2015 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!

April 21, 2015 Netrunner's art director Zoë Robinson of Fantasy Flight Games joins Nels & Jesse to talk about the creative and visual design processes behind bringing the game to life. Everything from working with freelancers to what sounds like the world's best meetings to how to an artificial intelligence sees itself in cyberspace. And if that didn't go deep enough, a long-shared but hitherto unknown family secret between Nels and Zoë is also revealed!

April 14, 2015 The SanSan Cycle begins in the biotech hub of northern California. The Valley hosts the best and brightest biotechology companies in the world and their breakthroughs are now available for both corporations and runner. A new Jinteki ID has one of the three different abilities, secretly selected by the corp at the start of the game. Runners can now splice their genetic code to be smart, faster, better. Cyberware is tired and primitive, the future is modifying the very programming of life itself.

March 31, 2015 Picking up where things were left off all the way back in episode 23, the discussion of deck archetypes return! This time it's subtle but dangerous Jinteki and the wealthy and unscrupulous Weyland. What are the most common archetypes with each faction and what IDs enable these archetypes? Nels and Jesse discuss this, plus an exciting announcement that Terminal7 has fully sold out! (Note: not really)

March 17, 2015 Live from the Terminal City Tabletop Convention, Nels and Jesse are joined by Eddy Boxerman and Dave Burke, the creators of the new competitive (but non-LCG) card game, Karmaka! As big fans of Netrunner, Eddy and Dave talk about how Netrunner influenced Karmaka, how they differ and what their experience has been like designing a competitive card game.

February 17, 2015 Continuing to the Anarch half of Order & Chaos, Quinns from Shut Up & Sit Down returns to throw caution to the wind and live like there's no tomorrow! Little unifies the Anarchs beyond their proclivity for destruction and oh boy, does Order & Chaos ever offer up destruction. Between Kim's hammer, Valencia's truth-at-any-cost and MaxX's two finger salute, Anarchs have never been more varied or more vibrant.

February 10, 2015 Order & Chaos has finally been released! Netrunner's newest deluxe expansion focusing exclusively on the Weyland consortium and the Anarchs is here, providing myriad new options for both factions. Not to break with tradition, Quinns from Shut Up & Sit Down joins Terminal7 to discuss these new developments. In this first of a two-part O&C extravaganza, the new acquisitions of the Weyland consortium are discussed. Replete with credits and infamous for their sometimes harsh measures, O&C sees Weyland aim for the stars with extraterrestrial facilities, ICE and initiatives, perhaps this is a more charitable, progressive Weyland. Then again, they're "liberating" people from tyrants they didn't even know they had, so perhaps not.
