'''Succubus Daemon''' is a type of game card in the ''Netrunner'' collectible card game designed by Richard Garfield and published by Wizards of the Coast. The Succubus is a type of program daemon which can be used to attack servers and other programs in the game.
'''''Netrunner''''' is a collectible card game designed by Richard Garfield, the creator of ''Magic: The Gathering''. It was published by Wizards of the Coast and introduced in 1996. The game is based heavily on the ''Cyberpunk 2020'' role-playing game published by R. Talsorian Games, but also draws additional flavor from the broader cyberpunk genre. ''Netrunner'' was lauded by critics, such as ''InQuest'' magazine, for its balanced game play and impressive artwork. In 1999 ''Pyramid'' magazine named ''Netrunner'' as one of ''The Millennium's Most Underrated Games''.  According to editor Scott Haring, "among the connoisseurs of the card game design art, ''Netrunner'' is considered to be one of the best-designed games ever."<ref> Haring, Scott D. (1999-11-25). "Second Sight: The Millennium's Most Influential Company and The Millennium's Most Underrated Game". Pyramid (online).</ref>
 
In this game, there is a program daemon called a '''Succubus'''.
 
 
==Game Details==
*Name: Netrunner
*Designer: Richard Garfield
*Publisher: Wizards of the Coast
*Players: 2 to 6
*Age range: 9+
*Setup time: < 3 minutes
*Playing time: ~ 45 minutes
*Random chance: Some
*Skills required: Card playing, Arithmetic
 
 
 
== Gameplay ==
''Netrunner'' depicts cyberspace combat between a global mega-corporation (the Corp) and a hacker (the Runner). The Corp's goal is to complete their secret ''agendas'' before the Runner can hack in and spoil their secret plans for world domination.
It isn't easy, though, as the Corp has strong defensive ''data forts'' protected by malevolent computer programs known as ''ICE'' (short for Intrusion Countermeasures Electronics). The Runner must use special programs of their own (called ''Icebreakers'') to break through and steal the hidden plans - to keep the Corp from taking over completely. All this is paid for in the game by a system of resources called ''bits'' (representing currency), which are earned and spent during the course of play.
An interesting feature of ''Netrunner'' is that each side has different abilities and uses completely different cards distinguished by alternate card backs. 
This contrasts with most other Collectible card games, which usually depict a "battle between peers" where each opponent draws upon the same card pool. While a player does not have to play both sides except in tournament play, it is commonly held that a firm understanding of both leads to better overall player ability.
 
 
==Expansion sets==
* ''Netrunner'' base set (aka Limited, v1.0) - 374 cards - Release Date: April 26, 1996
* ''Netrunner Proteus'' (v2.1) - 154 cards - Release Date: September 1996
* ''Netrunner Silent Impact'' - Never released, development halted by WotC. However, a series of six cards labelled 'v2.0' were issued as promotional cards for a planned, but never released, Netrunner 2.0 core set. Even though originally appearing in Netrunner 1.0, these six cards have been revised for 2.0 and feature new artwork as well as revised game text. The six cards in question are Forged Activation Orders, misc.for-sale, The Shell Traders, Pacifica Regional AI, Bizarre Encryption Scheme, and New Galveston City Grid. Extremely rare and very hard to find.
* ''Netrunner Classic'' (v2.2) - 52 cards from the Silent Impact set- Release Date: November 1999
* The ''Cyberpunk 2020'' supplement ''Rache Bartmoss' Brainware Blowout'' featured rules on using ''Netrunner'' cards instead of the rpg's existing system to simulate netrunning during game sessions. It also gave conversions to the rpg of some of the cards in the base set (the rest having been mentioned in one book or another).
 
 
==Webrunner==
''Netrunner'' launched with a proto-alternate reality game called ''Webrunner: The Hidden Agenda'', which cast players as hackers against the evil Futukora corporation. Players broke through seven puzzle-themed "gates" to get the secret data ("agenda"). The popular game was the first online game tied in to a product release, making the front page of the New York Times technology section.
 
A sequel, ''Webrunner II: The Forbidden Code'', followed on release of the ''Proteus'' expansion. In this, players were cast as security chiefs beset by hackers.
 
 
==Online gameplay==
''NetRunner'' was playable online through [http://www.ccgworkshop.com CCG Workshop] in the past, but it was shut down by Wizards of the Coast. It is now possible to play ''NetRunner'' online using [http://www.mwsgames.com Magic Workstation] on [http://www.runners-net.com Runners' Net], a site which also holds IRC chats and forums to discuss the game. Players may also use other CCG engines such as LackeyCCG or Gccg, which allows players to build and share plugins for different card games and play the games online.
 
==Product ownership==
Zvi Mowshowitz, a well-known ''Magic: The Gathering'' Pro Tour player, attempted to purchase the license for ''Netrunner'' from Wizards of the Coast after the company stopped producing the game. Negotiations, however, fell apart without any revival of the game or transfer of ownership.

Succubus Daemon is a type of game card in the Netrunner collectible card game designed by Richard Garfield and published by Wizards of the Coast. The Succubus is a type of program daemon which can be used to attack servers and other programs in the game.


Setting

Netrunner depicts cyberspace combat between a global mega-corporation (the Corp) and a hacker (the Runner). The Corp's goal is to complete their secret agendas before the Runner can hack in and spoil their secret plans for world domination. This is not simple however as the Corp has strong defensive data forts protected by malevolent computer programs known as ICE (short for Intrusion Countermeasures Electronics). The Runner must use special programs of their own (called Icebreakers) to break through and steal the hidden plans in order to keep the Corp from taking over completely. All this is paid for in the game by a system of resources called bits (representing currency), which are earned and spent during the course of play. A feature of Netrunner is that each side has different abilities and uses completely different cards distinguished by alternate card backs. This contrasts with most other Collectible card games, which usually depict a "battle between peers" where each opponent draws upon the same card pool. While a player does not have to play both sides, except in tournament play, it is commonly held that a firm understanding of both approaches leads to better overall player ability.
