  • 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
