I've noticed that we're kinda short on Yu-Gi-Oh! RPs around here, and I had an idea just sorta pop into my head earlier that might actually work. Just bare with me for a spell, I'm not horribly good at writing detailed/descriptive stuff.

The basic idea is that most, if not every duelist in this world has their own unique guardian monster that they can summon in a pinch to help turn the tide of battle. The summoning conditions vary from monster to monster, but they can each only be summoned, as previously stated, if the duelist they're serving is backed into a corner.

It's kinda weird to explain, but the monsters themselves don't actually appear in their respective duelist's deck. They just sort of sit on the sidelines and help them in their time of dire need. The monsters automatically summon themselves when certain conditions are met, and usually require an additional cost to summon them. For example: One monster might require a tribute of monsters from their protected player whose total levels equal 12 or more, and can only be summoned when that player has at least 3 monsters on the field.

In terms of actual plot, I'm not 100% sure on what I want to go for, but I was thinking something along the lines of the Battle City arc from the original series, i.e. Super rich guy holds a tournament so he can gather together as many of a certain kind of super powerful monster as possible. Something like that.

If anybody is interested, I would love to have a Co-GM that I can work on plot-related things with and basically function as me if/when I'm not around.

With that said, I'd love to hear you guys' thoughts.

I can Co-GM. Honestly I've been needing to get back to writing, and working as a co-host could help.

I'd really like to see what you have planned for for these special monsters. And I presume regular dueling is just going to be devpro vs, or do you have something else planned?

Well, the Guardians would all be custom, naturally. Each player only gets one that they create themselves, and they can vary greatly between a Level 1 Monster with a clutch defensive effect or a Level 12 monster with a powerful gimmick that effects all players.

Duels would be done post-by-post. Players can opt to use Random Thing Picker or a random number generator to decide the cards they draw and whatnot and/or they can use PiratePad. It depends on what people would be most comfortable with.

Uh. There's like two YGO RPs going on already(mine and KO's). Most of the hardcore YGO RP community is inside of those. That's also 2 more than most sites. You might have some difficulty finding players.

I'm one member of that YGO RP community, and I'm currently in both, so I can confirm. I'd join this too, but I already have enough RP's on my plate, so sorry bout that.

I'm fully aware of both RPs, don't worry. Again, this is just an interest check. So if I get some people who can handle multiple YGO RPs/are in KO's and want one more but can't join in Ammo's because reasons, great. If not, at least I tried.

I'll see if I can't get at least 1 or 2 more people to voice interest in this. If they do, the OOC should be up by Saturday of next week.

If not, oh well. At least I tried.

It should be a thing. I'm just looking for at least 1 more person, and if I get any more takers, I'll put up the OoC on Saturday.

@GarlandDaHero
I was thinking maybe it would be a good idea if we put some limits on cards? Most decks now a days are so aggressive, even with randomly generating numbers a lot of the duels could be finished in three or four posts. Plus, the long combos would take forever to describe. It be better if most rounds had a player active one or two cards at a time, tops. For example, maybe everyone would get only one kind of card they could have three copies of, and two cards they could have two copies of?

I see what you're getting at, but that last idea seems WAY too stupid, considering how many cards in the game you can have 3 copies of and how little of everything else there is in comparison.

I think a more traditional banlist, with a few adjustments, would be a smarter idea.
