Leo Duel School (often shortened to LDS), one of the biggest and most prestigious Duel Academies in the world. A year and a half ago, the first Pendulum Summon was performed by a youth known as Yuya Sakaki. Since then, Pendulum Summoning has become one of Leo Duel School's pillar Summoning Courses.
You are a student (or perhaps a professor, or in one case, a janitor) at LDS. Your life is pretty normal for the most part. Just like anyone, you strive to be the best at what you do. That may range from simply being the best of your course, or being the best in the school. You attend one of the seven LDS Summoning Courses: Tribute Summon, Special Summon, Fusion Summon, Ritual Summon, Synchro Summon, Xyz Summon, or Pendulum Summon. Of course, nothing is never as simple as it seems at LDS. But hush, I didn't say anything about that.
Ladies and gentlemen! (as Yuya Sakaki would say) I present to you, the Yu-Gi-Oh! Summon Masters Roleplay, where all forms of Summoning run amok! Firstly, let's lay down some ground rules.
Firstly, understand that we will be scripting our Duels. If using a Random Number Generator would make you more comfortable, then feel free. We will also be incorporating Action Duels into this RP. Now for some ground rules.
1) Don't power-play all the time. We understand that it's fun to obliterate our opponents in a single turn sometimes, but try to contain yourself. There will be consequences for those who overdo the unrealistic power-play strategies.
2) As this takes place in an anime setting, we will be using the anime-based 4000 LP counter rather than 8000. This also helps with not having overwhelming walls-of-text for a single Duel.
3) Follow your Yu-Gi-Oh! Rule Guide! With this said, understand that there are some new rules that came into play toward the end of ZEXAL and the beginning of ARC-V. For example: The player who has the first turn skips his/her draw phase, and two Field Spell Cards can be in play at the same time.
4) You may attend ONE (and ONLY ONE) Summon Course for the moment. That means that said course will be your major form of Summoning. This does not bar Tribute Summoning from players who focus on another form, or the Generic Special Summoning, but please try not to use an overwhelming amount of other forms.
5) We will follow the most recent TCG Advanced Format Forbidden & Limited Lists. However, I will allow each character to have ONE Forbidden Card each, and only ONE copy of that card.
6) Please stay away from using cards that were painfully rare or unique in the anime. I won't argue with someone using a Blue-Eyes, but things like Signer Dragons, Egyptian Gods, and Numbers are difficult, if not impossible, to duplicate. If possible, please refrain from using them, as this is in the anime setting.
7) Anime-Exclusive and Manga-Exclusive cards will be available within reason. If I state one as unfair, then I will place it where appropriate on our personal Limited/Forbidden List. That said, some of them will have modified effects to make them fair.
8) During Action Duels, the Action Cards received will be RANDOMIZED. There is no exception. The reason is that there are detrimental Action Trap Cards that no one would grab if it weren't randomized. A list of Action Cards with Random Number Values can be found below.
9) RPGuild rules still apply. No exceptions.
10) Keep things rated PG (at MOST PG-13, but preferably PG). Yu-Gi-Oh! IS NOT something that should be for more mature audiences.
11) Have Fun! If you're playing an unfair deck that's not fun for anyone (*coughpropheciescough*), then why play? Please do this for entertainment, not for a 100% imaginary win-record.
