This is the first of hopefully a monthly ca sual Saturday session (last Saturday of the month) at Bristol Independent Gaming (BIG). The current intention is for runners to either i) learn to p lay with System Gateway learner decks ii) play full system gateway only or iii) play startup format.

Doors open at BIG at 10am and the sessi on will "\;officially"\; run until 5pm\, with an overspill potenti ally to 7pm when the doors close. The price is £10 for the day. I'd aim t o have games going by 10.30\, although people can turn up anytime\, since there will be no structured format (think learning to play stalls at a gam ing convention). Hence exactly how it goes will be contingent on experienc e and numbers of players\, but casual games will be the expectation for th is session at least.

\n

Further down the line there will hopefully be supported startup format tournament events.

For those who aren't aware\, System Gateway is the base Netrunner product by Null Signal Games (who took over as the community driven developer after FFG stopped develop ing it) and contains training decks as a subset of the complete base set. The 'startup' format consists of the base System Gateway product and 3 oth er expansions - the recently released Elevation expansion\, and the two Li beration cycle expansions.\nGoing forwards\, I would add option iv) playin g from just the core set\, comprising System Gateway and Elevation.

\n< p>BIG's website is https://www.bristolindependentgaming.co.uk/ and is loca ted in South Bristol with easy free parking and also on bus line 76.

\n

This event is coinciding with a general TCG learn to play event\, so pe ople may want to try others (I think Star Wars and Flesh and Blood are bei ng pushed\, possibly others).
