I am totally open to brainstorming but I was just checking to see if there was any interest in a Yu-Gi-OH! RP? Would most likely be based off of GX and the original anime/manga. Feel free to ask any questions I don't really have a story yet which is why I need your help! I was thinking we all make our own characters? But again I am totally open to ideas! Sorry for the vagueness.

Interested!

Im not sure how it Will work but i am interested.

Neither do I! At least i'm not for sure yet! I just wanted to make sure there was interest and that way we can all decide on something that'll work for us!

Interested, but if you've seen me hovering around before you'll know I have questions more pertaining to how we play the game. (Custom) Banlists, meta decks, how duels are actually going to be played out, OCG-exclusives, etc;. I play a lot of YGO with friends, so I'm kind of... yeah. Funny you should mention GX though, that series was where I actually got my start into YGO. (Though having a dorm system, combined with how the game works and how the RP would work and stuff... I wouldn't think that'd end well. Elitist ideals inbound.) Uh... Hm... Yeah, that should be it from me. A school setting _could_ work, but again depending on how things would be organized it has the potential to backfire. I dunno, really. I'm fine with whatever, honestly.

Okay, so, I am interested, and if you are at all interested as well, there's a place where you can play YuGiOh online and build your own deck by looking up cards. All we would have to do is put a ban list in place and restrict it to cards you could realistically have. The cards don't even have to be strictly GX, though the setting could be. There could be newer cards, though. If this is a dynamic you'd be interested in using I could tell you the site.

Well I was thinking TCG strictly, I am not really familiar enough with OCG to really dictate it. Though there will be of course exceptions if somebody would be willing to inform me for the time being. For the banlist I was thinking everybody but the semi-NPC villains in the RP would have to follow this [Ban List](http://www.yugioh-card.com/en/limited/). That being said there are some cards on here I would totally allow through, even "change of heart" for certain circumstances XD. The dueling is one of the big iffy parts for me... Now I was thinking in particular that MOST DUELS would be basically staged! Everybody would make a deck send a picture of it to me or a screenshot (depending on how you make it) and I would review it! Then they could use the deck in a staged collab with a pre-determined winner of each match. I just feel it would make the RP more enjoyable if we had at least a few duels where the victor uses a total unorthodox strategy to win in the last second? (Like the show XD). This is totally up to you guys as the players though. If you want to do duels through PMs or cyber-duelist. Or some other method just as long as i'm informed and preferably can supervise the duel somehow that would be awesome! For setting that is totally up to you guys! Though I would like to spend sometime in Seto Kaiba's virtual reality game? :D

I would be open to newer cards though I would have to learn how to use the new XYZ pendulum cards and such haha! I would be open to learning if you guys want to use those though!

> Okay, so, I am interested, and if you are at all interested as well, there's a place where you can play YuGiOh online and build your own deck by looking up cards. You mean Dueling Network/ devPro/ YGOPro? A lot of people use them and it's pretty easy to set up duels there, so I'd be all for any of those. I'd prefer that to staged duels, mainly because dueling people is fun (and I mean it's a show about selling trading cards- if the players don't play, then it's a self-defeating marketing strategy). I'm usually up to date with things on the OCG, but seeing as how TCG is getting former-OCG exclusives like Noden, Nyarla, Datenshi, Nebra Disk and all that new Star Seraph support (Star Seraph Satellas inbound hoooo boy) I don't know how necessary this is. The OCG metagame is like... An entirely different place. While the TCG has Burning Abyss, Shaddolls and Qlis to worry about the OCG has Nekroz kicking the ol' Dolls out. A few of their big players (like Manju, Senju and Unicore) were hit to one but the deck remains relevant. It hits the TCG mid-February, which I'm actually looking forward to. As with the TCG, the current metagame revolves around removal (and the anti-Djinn Lock, which makes enough sense). ANYHOW. Uh. Feather Duster is Limited in the OCG, along with a lot of other errata'd cards (Chaos Emperor Dragon, Crush Card Virus, Temple of the kings, Sinister Serpent, etc;). Qlis are, as always, beating the everloving crap out of almost every other deck other than the mirror match. Uh... Change of Heart is like... Really abusive. It's worse than Brain Control, mainly because it's a free plus. It's a pretty OP card in a ton of scenarios, so I wouldn't recommend that card of all things lol. Giving people free pluses is not fun for the side who's getting their big boss taken from them. At all. Supervision in any of the 3 is pretty easy, as each of them have a spectate function. Alternatively, designate a co-GM or have another member spectate the match if necessary. Like a judge of sorts. Er... I dunno, I'd probably still prefer a more conventional YGO RP- that VR game was a bit weird, and given what decks people have available not compared to back then... Er, yeah. (Not to mention people can just run 3 D Pris, Raigeki, spot removal, etc;...) Edit: Wow that was an essay on YGO lol. I can teach pretty quickly if you need someone for that.

Whatever the OP wants, I'm down for it. Personally I am fine with just dramatically doing duels _within_ the RP. I mean, this is a role play, not like we are virtually trying to draw each card and this and that. But pretty much I'm fine with whatever the OP is good with. I personally think Monster Reborn and Change of Heart are fine, but whatever the majority decides is fine with me. I mainly care about character interaction, fun story and stuff like that. If people want to do actual duels outside of the RP, I think that would be most practical. But whatever works!

Exactly my thoughts water akira, but OCG and TCG is fine by me in that spectrum of things though! I am just saying I would like to maybe do some stuff in the virtual reality whether it be a separate group from the main or just a cameo! Though cards are like basically the center of the universe I am pretty open to whatever! PKMN BOY, You seem to more up to date on cards and things than I am maybe, we could just take things as they come? Make sure the duels are fair when RPers are actually dueling? I do realize that this is probably a bad way to handle things but I feel it will be more efficient in getting the actual RP started if we decide on a story and such first? I don't necessarily care about how the dueling is done as long as I know beforehand how and I am able to review it or supervise it! (And as long as it doesn't hold up the entire RP). I am more interested in the RP spectrum of things so I will duel both ways I just think a nice good collab with a staged duel would be fun to write! Though not all may participate that way I would still like to keep it as an option!

I am totally interested in this and I even have some deck types in mind.

Ah... Fair enough. If both ways are available and it's agreed on mutually by the parties involved, then I don't see an issue either way. Hm... I guess the VR thing could end up as a sideplot or as a basis for the main plot, though once again I'd rather not have the rules as they were in the anime- Deck Master rules have a chance of going sour really quickly, especially if you flip Solemn or Bottomless onto someone summoning their big boss monster. Yeah. Instant loss. But uh yeah. I'm really up to date with the game as of late, so if you need a rundown of any of the newer mechanics just ask.

Yeah. Instant loss. > > But uh yeah. I'm really up to date with the game as of late, so if you need a rundown of any of the newer mechanics just ask. And oh yes you reminded me! I would rather play with these rules [Yes I realize it is a 5D's rulebook but it is one I could find with ease](http://www.yugioh-card.com/uk/rulebook/V7_English_Rlbk_lores.pdf) I will read up on XYZ if there is a demand for such but I would prefer to stay before then just to keep things simpler on everybody's part

Mmm... Well, XYZ summoning's pretty easy. The card has a summoning condition of 2+ monsters that fit the prerequisites of the card; both monsters have to be the same level in order to 'Overlay' the XYZ on top. The two monsters are placed onto a single monster zone and the XYZ is placed from the extra deck on top of the two+ cards. They also have ranks, not levels (so things like Gravity Bind... They really don't care about). I'll use Evilswarm Exciton Knight as an example. It's a generic rank 4 XYZ that requires two level 4 monsters to summon, so I need those two out on the field before I can use them. I can overlay Exciton on top and, if I fill the requirements for his effect, I can detach (aka remove materials from under the card) to activate it's effect. And given that we're using 5Ds rules... First turn draw six? Oh boy.

Now for story everybody are we thinking make your own characters? New villains?

And thus, the return of the turn one super dominant field... I thought original characters and villains would be kind of a given. An entirely original story would be nice imho. But that requires a bit more planning and thought. Uh.. Ideas, ideas... Well, let's see. School setting is always an option. A tournament spanning the globe is something I haven't seen yet. Uh... I dunno, something involving the DT world? I haven't a clue.

I'd be interested if we are allowed to take liberties with lore.

> I'd be interested if we are allowed to take liberties with lore. Of Course! I would just like to be in the loop and be able to have them ran by me ahead of time if that's okay? Okay so whole new cast, we could do a school setting or a tournament setting where all of our characters stay in the same hotel? Just to keep interaction flowing?

Disregard post.
