A downloadable game

Project APEX is an experiment to see what a collectible card game could look like if it was illustrated by an AI program in 2022. Its proxy cards are designed to work with Netrunner, a critically-acclaimed out-of-print asymetrical card game with a cyberpunk theme. 

Netrunner was originally designed by famous game designer Richard Garfield and is currently maintained by a fan-run non-profit volunteer collective that refers to itself as Null Signal Games.

Notes

  • The text from the cards is taken from the text that is available through NetrunnerDB on September 10, 2022. The cards are provided as they were at that time.
  • The downloads contain card versions with and without bleeds at 300DPI. The versions with bleeds are ready for online printing services. 
  • You are welcome to print these cards but you are not allowed to modify them, distribute them or profit of them in any way.
  • I take no responsibility for any errors on the cards. It is up to you to check all cards before you print them. (If you find any, let me know. I cannot promise any updates, but at least I will be aware.)
  • If you like these and want more, make sure to let me know by posting a comment.
  • These cards are darker and more grim than your regular Netrunner. I tried to avoid triggering topics as much as possible but the cards do feature death and addiction. (If there are other themes that I should warn about, please let me know and I will update this text accordingly.)
  • Some card art might have look a little weird, uncanny or not make all that much sense. This is always intentional. Most of the cards are combinations of multiple illustrations and I used a lot of digital painting to make them look the way they do, but I did want a card set that still looked like an early AI - that does not understand the world all that well - has made.
  • These cards are non-profit fan art and are not associated with, produced by, or endorsed by Fantasy Flight Games, R. Talsorian Games, Wizards of the Coast or Null Signal Games.
