Yu-Gi-Oh!: Perils of the Night

well, I don't know about all of you, but I had an ok weekend! looking forward to getting started!

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Perils of the Night

I'm somewhat interested but I want to ask how much knowledge of the TCG itself is required? I mean, I know the basic rule but I've only played casually, and I really last played during the synchro era

@Randomguy

My aim is to lean more on good role play, but some more up to date knowledge would only help. Fortunately, the links I provided include the current rules, YouTube has a wealth of informative videos, and some of the links I posted also give you access to the card database!

I'm honestly not that far off from your position, and frankly, I'm not very good at the card game! I'm not just aiming to simulate gameplay, and a high skill level is not going to be mandatory, I assure you! That'd be like demanding my players have an academic background in creative writing to participate in my rp XD

I mean, it was Joey, Mai and Serenity wasn't it?

@King Cosmos

See? I made it obvious:P

If I try this "guess who" thing again, I'll have to make it harder

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Perils of the Night

Also, bragging rights for the first person who can identify all the original characters I reference in the original post! I like to think I made it obvious, but here's a hint:

It was only 3 of them

"Traditional" is having all the forbidden cards at limited instead, basically. It could be interesting, in that it could power up archetypes that would otherwise be weak played pure by giving them cards banned for other decks sins (I can be trusted with Electrumite, I promise), but it's up to you.

Oh, where is this RP set by the way? I know it's Old Domino City, but what country? Not-Japan or Not-America?

@King Cosmos

Alright, knowing that, I'm comfortable with Traditional.

@The World@Double

Also, uh, let's say the location is Not-Japan

So is this not the anime setting, then? I was under the assumption that cards like the Egyptian Gods, Sacred Beasts, or Earthbound Immortals would be off-limits due to them all being one-of-a-kind and in some cases possessing apocalyptic levels of power.

@Double

I feel like reading the post answers this, but here it is:

It's a combination of the two; it's closer to the real world, in that the card game as we know it, exists. The main characters and their home town exist, but because this setting more closely resembles reality (on the surface), duelist kingdom and all that, either never happened, or were just normal card tournaments. Another overlap with the anime is that they still call it "Duel Monsters".

Does that clear it up for you?

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Perils of the Night

I'd like to run my custom card by you while I still think over this, since it being accepted or rejected will decide what deck I go with if I join. So I'll come up with something and throw it in a hider here or pm, whichever you prefer. (Since you said to pm CSs, after all)

For the record, I haven't read the entirety of the opening info yet, I'm trying to get mechanics info before story info, so sorry if you answered this in the story section, but: is the banlist Advanced or Traditional format? It doesn't really matter for me personally, but it might be useful to know for others or for second decks.

And lastly, are there any story-banned cards? I'm guessing the Egyptian Gods are banned, for example?

@The World

Reading the whole thing would answer most of these questions, but I'm going to be cool about it: we're using master rules 5, I provided a link for the rules.

We're using the latest ban list, including limited and semi limited, I included a link for that too. Regarding the "advanced or traditional" question, I have to admit I don't know what you're talking about. I posted a link to the latest banlist, and I'm not aware of any different versions outside of updates and different formats.

The settings based limitations are, admittedly, only given a basic acknowledgement; nobody is trying to escalate to where it's open duel monsters warfare, with casualties and massive property damage because for one reason or another all 3 "factions" are incentivized to keep this all secret. Deferring back to the rules and ban list, there's nothing stopping people from running Sleifer or whatever, but when you consider the setting itself, a giant monster appearing anywhere, especially the middle of the city or something, is going to draw unwanted attention. So, I guess a "rule" on that would be, Power Rangers; don't do it unless not doing it becomes the worse option. Within the intro, for example, "NotJoey" pulled a troublesome stunt in the eyes of The Duelist Society, but, it was literally life or death, backed into a corner. He also got out of there and avoided getting involved with the authorities, who are going to make up their own plausible explanation for what the hell just happened.

I'm very interested to see what you have in mind for a unique card, and character, once you've read the provided material. PM, please

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Perils of the Night

Yes, decks are allowed to be changed over time or swapped completely, just be sure to roleplay it, even just a brief mention is fine.

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Perils of The Night

<Snipped quote by RickyG85>

Oh I was referring to the latter. I spotted the link above after I hit "send". xD

@Double

lol, no worries XD

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Perils of The Night

If I may offer a thought, the description of plot sounds like something that would take place in like the late 1800s or early 1900s. You know like something akin to Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Or even Sherlock Holmes with an occult magic twist to it.

@Double

Hmmm... An interesting take, considering (in the ooc) I mentioned a parking garage/structure, and the clockwork duel disk being out of date. Not to mention the excessive lighting in the city, and the portable phone.

Are you referring to the OOC, or just what I've described in this thread? too late for me to change it, in any case
