In this very special video, Jesse sits down with one of the most personable and knowledgeable faces in gaming, Steven Wooley of Team Covenant, to chat about two games that we both love - Android: Netrunner and Flesh and Blood.
-
Steven and the Team Covenant crew have been loving Flesh and Blood, the new card game from Legend Story Studios. Jesse and Steven chat about howFlesh and Blood compares to our all-time favourite card game, Android: Netrunner.
-
We cover a range of topics such as:
-
The core game mechanics: heroes (vs IDs), cards, resources (vs credits) and action points (vs clicks)
-
Tempo in Netrunner and Flesh and Blood
-
Organised play and the Legend Story Studios player and LGS engagement model
-
Attack and defence, 'runs' vs 'attacks', and 'blocking' vs' rezzing ICE'
-
Card types in Flesh and Blood and how they work
-
Building for the long game - managing resources over time via pitching vs defending and playing cards, and the difference between managing resources in Flesh and Blood versus managing board development in Netrunner
-
How different factions manage resources and gain advantage
-
Design space in the first 24 months of Flesh and Blood

After being hit by a global pandemic and somehow coming out the other side, Jess Horig and Jesse Marshall are back to discuss everything of note in the world of competitive Netrunner, with exclusive spoiler rights on not one, not two, not three, but four new cards premiering in the upcoming System Gateway expansion.
On our agenda:
- Year in Review part two! As the world was shut down during the pandemic, Netrunner had to move to cyberspace, and Jess and Jesse discuss how that affected their interaction with the game, and living through such strange modern times.
- System Gateway Spoilers! Michael P of NISEI was kind enough to give us four incredible cards, focusing on NBN, that all call back to older cards and explore new avenues for strategic play in modern Netrunner.
- Review of System Gateway and System Update, and predictions on the new format! Jess and Jesse look at their new favourite cards of those revealed in System Gateway and System Update so far, and take some stabs at what sort of strategies will be viable, both in Core Set-only play and in combination with the full cardpool.

After a hiatus of some time, Jess and Jesse are back to discuss everything of note in the world of competitive Netrunner.
On our agenda:
- Year in Review! Jess and Jesse mention what they've been up to over the past little bit, including some Twilight Struggle, two World Championships, and a whole lot of Snake Draft.
- Uprising Spoilers! Morgan of NISEI was kind enough to give us two powerful cards - one crisp and tasty hardware and one best friend of a genderless void. Both cards are unique replacements for rotating effects, and we look at the historical context that these cards have been designed in, as well as which other old and new cards might be especially well suited to work with them.
- Throne of Eldraine discussion! As a bit of a change, Jess and Jesse talk about their second favourite game and how playing new things might help your Netrunner game improve.

On our agenda:
- It's been more than just fun, and it's been more than just a game. We are so, so grateful for the community, our listeners and supporters, tournaments, travel, testing, decklists, tournament snackfoods, technical difficulties, 150+ Skype linkups, wonderful guests, and lifelong friends. This game has been a part of all of our lives for the better part of 6 years, and now the ride, at least the official FFG-endorsed ride, is over.
- We reflect on the life of Android: Netrunner and the past 3 and a half years of TWA! Brian Holland, Hollis Eacho, Wilfy Horig and Jesse Marshall sit down to discuss it all and what the game and the podcast have meant to them.
- It's an emotional farewell from us, replete with nostalgia, camaraderie, a plethora of shoutouts, feedback and emails from our listeners, and a good dose of gratitude to Patreon supporters, listeners, and the whole Netrunner community.
- Thank you to each and every one of you who've joined us at any stage on this journey. The podcast and the game are things we will treasure forever, and you have all helped us create memories we will never forget.
Peace and love
Wilfy, Jesse, Hollis and Brian (The TWA Crew)
