Netrunner Staples Stickers

If you, like me, are working on several Netrunner decks — maybe because you want to bring samples of several factions and styles with you to show off the breadth of the game — you will probably have to face a terrible truth: there are cards that are 2 or 3-of in almost any deck (looking square at you, Sure Gamble and Spin Doctor).

Proxies — quickly, cheaply printable proxies — to the rescue. The Staples Stickers archive includes black-and white PDFs made to be printed on 2"x3" stickers and optimized to be highly legible even when printed by low-DPI thermal printers.

On top of ready-to-print files for several commonly used cards, you will find the Sketch app source document that contains the full layout system, allowing anyone to build proxies for other Netrunner cards in a matter of minutes.

Game Format Iconography

Extensible card games have formats, which, I think, is one of the things that elevates the genre: not just single games, but families of games, catering to different wishes, different contexts and different tastes. Each format has a mood and a place, and I wanted to celebrate those moods and places by producing iconography that you can use to refer to each format in your sites, UI, and so on.

Format iconography is available for Netrunner, for Null Signal-supported formats plus a few common 'fan' ones, and for Magic: the Gathering.

For Magic: the Gathering, you get symbols for the formats that are rotating (Standard & Alchemy), nonrotating (Historic, Explorer, Gladiator, Pioneer, Modern, Pauper, Legacy and Vintage), or casual and multiplayer (Commander, cEDH, Oathbreaker, Historic Brawl), and for limited environments.
