A few ideas for a Yu-gi-oh! RP

[VarionusNW]

i never been good at yu-gi-oh nor have i been keeping up with it.
i did get a favorite thing called madolche not competitive but i like it

@Satoshi Kyou

actually, that was a top-tier deck at one point. Not for long, but still.

[Satoshi Kyou]

@VarionusNWyeah but i dont know how to make a good yugioh deck myself and i just threw every madolche card there is into a deck with a couple trap and spells cards

is it a requirement or a bonus for fitting your character with the deck? anime tended to do that (like the dog and cat decks having a cat lover and a dog lover)

@Satoshi Kyou

No, you don't have to do that at all, though some people tend to do that. If you want to, go ahead.

[Satoshi Kyou]

@VarionusNWso duels in these rp's how do they go? like i get how it goes in real life but in a rp i dunno how

[The Red Seelie]

I am expressing interest,

(and yes some cards/archetypes are sometimes overpowered as heck.)

Still I am a fan of the Traptrix cards (although the H.A.T deck bores me a little (so I'll think of something new to use them with)

[Ammokkx]

I'd be tempted to join this depending on how much time I have, though I do have a few suggestions to make people start on even ground if it's to your liking. The basic idea is that everyone has a low-powered "Starter" deck of sorts, though it can be geared towards one archtype or another if preferred. Say, for example, you had a warrior themed deck which about a third of the cards are X-Sabers. Throughout the RP you'd obtain more and more X-sabers until you got a full-fledged decks, though you start out with a few useless or just not as good as they could be cards like... I dunno, Gravity Axe - Grarl.

Also to prevent god-hand draws you could always make a spreadsheet off all the decks and number each card, then for draws and opening hand roll a dice and PM those who are dueling the cards they drew as determined by the dice. Both of these are just suggestions, though I think they could be fun. I'm down for this thing either way.

EDIT: Also, if you could squeeze in Turbo Duels in one form or another that'd be sweet. I love those.

@Ammokkxwouldnt mind those turbo duels myself. but where would a duel academy fit a turbo duel setup

@Satoshi Kyou

Either simulations or racing tracks built into campus. Not that hard to imagine. Duel academies were in 5D's, after all.

[The Red Seelie]

The starter deck idea could be the academy supplying it to new students

(and cause budget they are obviously just on the low end of the spectrum)

[Satoshi Kyou]

@1Charak2im glad people are welcome to the starter deck idea i had to the gm. but im not the GM but hey the GM seems alright with it. makes me wonder... @VarionusNW would structure decks also count as starters?

@Satoshi Kyou

Actually, starter decks are generally much worse, and much less numerous than structure decks. Any structure deck/starter deck is allowed, as long as any number cards, signer dragon related stuff (such as stardust warrior in Synchron Extreme) is replaced with any card of the same rank/level that is on relatively the same power level (You aren't turning a Utopia into a Castel). As well, any reference to the show/Specific characters in the deck's name should be changed to something generic (This is just for any point at which you might refer to the structure deck in character)

I will allow for custom structure decks, as long as the theme you want has not been used before. Custom cards will also be allowed in these. Just make sure to include a few good cards, some meh cards, and some utterly shit ones, because that's the way Konami has always done it.

@Satoshi Kyou

The Duel Tower is a Duel Academy in the middle of a desert, therefore there is only 1 option. Dune buggy turbo duels. Actually, let's just call them Duel Buggies.

Oh yea, Pendulums will be banned in their entirety. Fuck those.

http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Structure_Deck This page has the Structure Deck definition, as well as a list of starter and structure decks. We will only be using TCG and Worldwide releases.

@VarionusNW

Any given reason beyond just "Fuck pendulums"? 'Cause I find Xyz's to be a much bigger game breaker personally.

@Ammokkx

mostly Arc-V's plot, really. Since they weren't a card type until Yuya suddenly made them with magical MC powers, we can just stay away from that.
Xyz aren't really broken as a card type, but certain Xyz are certainly broken to hell. Though, after looking through them, most of the OP Xyz are numbers. I guess Cxyz will also be banned, since those were specific to the Barians.

@VarionusNW

I guess I can see the reasoning. Personally I find it a bit silly to ban them considering the only way they'd be useful this Rp is Qli's anyway, and let's be fair, nobody wants to be that guy who plays Qli's.

[Satoshi Kyou]

what about we just do that this RP takes place before Arc-V. its a academy if it takes place during/after Arc-V you'd have to implement a lesson for that cardtype

[VarionusNW]

@Satoshi Kyou

basically, that is what I am doing. I am working on the OOC right now. This might take a while.

[The Red Seelie]

Well I am gonna make a traptrix structure deck (hasn't been done)

because they are good cards and such... but

it seems all four of them are rares...

(according to the wiki (which im using for the images))

so i guess that means rarity is like this

1 - Ultra rare
2 - Super rare
38 commons

[Ammokkx]

Reminds me. If we DO create our own structure decks we have to follow the rarity rules, right?

@VarionusNW

So, I wanna make a Wind-Up deck, but I'm not too sure which cards I'd have to wait to get.
Definitely Wind-Up magician and Shark, as well as Juggler, as well as probably half the Wind-Up Xyz (Arsenal, someday you will be mine). Also, are we using the most recent banlist for this?

[Satoshi Kyou]

since its a RP... what about the card that has been banned and unbanned way too many times. Monster reborn?
