Netrunner Datapack: Fear and Loathing

The Fifth Datapack in the Spin Cycle for Android:Netrunner is now available. Fear and Loathing is about exploitive businesses and the beaten down and fearful masses they oppress.

It's about time runners stepped in.

The megacorps of Android: Netrunner have granted humanity access to the solar system and its resources, and as they have opened up that access, they have immediately set their sights upon the most efficient ways to attain those resources. Of course, many consider such practices exploitive and fear the impact they may have upon the planet’s ecosystem if allowed to continue unchecked.

Sounds familiar doesn't it ?

Now, the access and abuses accelerate as Fear and Loathing introduces GRNDL to the game. While businesses like NBN and Jinteki invest heavily in their public images, the GRNDL division of a Weyland Consortium subcorporation could scarcely care less about PR messaging. Instead, they work at fracking, and work is good. While bleeding heart environmentalists and media staffers with axes to grind may try to slow the division’s work, GRNDL has plowed ahead, finding and refining all manner of resources. Accordingly, GRNDL offers Weyland players a huge early game advantage, starting with ten credits, though they come at the cost of one bad publicity.

In Android: Netrunner, you don’t need your opponent to love you. But it doesn’t hurt to make them fear you. Wield the blunt force of GRNDL’s wealth and resources, or Blackmail the game’s megacorps. With Fear and Loathing, the Spin Cycle further amplifies its focus on bad publicity, tagging, and the various games within the game. Bluff your opponent, or force his hand. Run the network like you’re on a quest, work to save face, or completely ignore public opinion. Fear and Loathing gives you new tools to play the game the way you best enjoy.

Fear and Loathing is now available in our webshop for 14,90 €.
