@ItIsJustMeQuestion: will you be expecting a character sheet of some sort, and if so, will you be providing a template? Or do we just step in with a name, and flesh it out over the course of the narrative?

Uh... Why?

@Zoie Hart I guess that depends on what you think "rage quitting" is, and why/how you're doing it? Generally, the answer is no, don't do that

Why do robots make terrible casting agents? Because they're always missing parts!

time to browse all the interest checks... I don't think I'm going to find anything that grabs my interest, but it's something to do.

@VarionusNW@Double@The World@Product@Randomguy@Kero@King Cosmos
Hoo boy, I've got a big important update to make, based on everything I've been seeing.
To start, sorry I haven't been as active in these posts- my day jobs' scheduling has been difficult, and I'm just getting used to it again, which has interfered with my posting.
secondly, my city got hit with some heavy snow last night, which not only messed up road conditions, but delayed school start times(relevant to me because I have a 9 year old son), knocked out the power multiple times, and the only reason I'm able to be typing this up is because I drove 30 miles to the neighborhood where I do my dayjob in order to find functional phone/internet signals (I've never seen inclement weather interfere with weather or not my smart phone plain old functions, so, that was weird). Might I add, that heavy snow was super localized; several inches were still on the ground in spite of melting rapidly when I left my house, but here at my work you might not even know snow happened. Super weird stuff.
so, to start, I'm seeing more interest than I'd anticipated! That's awesome, but it's also going to force me to close applications, for now- don't worry, if you've expressed interest prior to this post, I'll still accept, review and (hopefully) approve an offered character/s, but going forward (for now), I won't be accepting any new applicants. I can only handle working with so many individual players, to address the why of this decision.
I was originally hoping to have the opening written and posted by yesterday, but events plus some things apparently not being clear force me to hold off on that. My tentative goal is to get it written and posted sometime this weekend, at this point.
To fully illustrate my PVP system, this is the method I've seen some success with:
You have your deck list; number each individual card.
pull up google; there's a random number generator tool.
Set the parameters for random numbers from 1 to whatever the total number of your cards is (minimum range 1-40).
open a blank writer document, keep track of what numbers are in the hand, in play, in the graveyard and banished/removed.
That's for PVP and some PVNPC, but NW is correct in their speculation that dealing with the monsters is more PVE, and all the dueling has the potential to run like an "Action Duel". Running around the environment as your engaging an opponent is encouraged, and the opening in the OOC displays this. Depending on what's going on, of course, as per the element of "show some discretion" within the setting.
I would encourage thematic decks instead of meta, and somebody mentioned some "heart of the cards" shenanigans? I think that's an interesting idea, and I already know a way to impliment it- "Bennies". In every new scene, every player has 3 "bennies", which can be used to "Heart of the cards" a duel (as in: fudge the draw to get the card you need), once per duel. These bennies can also be used prompt a character aspect to in some way steer the narrative in a particular direction-
Example: Kaiba wants to needle at Joey, specifically to provoke a rash decision from him, and make an opening to humiliate him. Kaiba's player can offer Joey's a benny for this, and if the latter accepts, he triggers the Brooklyn Rage and challenges Kaiba to a duel that, if he were thinking clearly, he would know he's going to lose.
You can also offer me one of your bennies for something in particular to happen, and I can do the same with y'all. I can also award bennies for good roleplay, such as making a good show of playing in character, clever ideas and actions, and even instances of unexpected but overwhelming success (Exodia; Obliterate!).
What do you all think of this? Did I miss anybody in the mentions?
(and of course, I greatly appreciate all these questions, as their catching my apparent blind spots in setting up this rp, and I appreciate the honest constructive feedback)

I don't think I've ever tried to rp a survival situation, myself. Could be fun
<Snipped quote by Double>
Okay, no, but for real though. I don't mind removing them if it'll fit the RP more. I guess I'll leave it to GM @RickyG85
Hmmm... I think a fair compromise would be to pick 1, based on the responses I'm seeing.
I leave that up to you, whether or not you take it is optional, since, again, the response hasn't been all that bad
I haven't heard anything from anybody else, so I'm going to go ahead and write up a simple intro, aiming to have something posted by Wednesday @King Cosmos@Double@The World
@Randomguy, still interested?
@Randomguy, still interested?
well, I don't know about all of you, but I had an ok weekend! looking forward to getting started!
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
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
<Snipped quote by RickyG85>
I mean, it was Joey, Mai and Serenity wasn't it?
See? I made it obvious:P
If I try this "guess who" thing again, I'll have to make it harder
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
It was only 3 of them
<Snipped quote by RickyG85>
"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?
Alright, knowing that, I'm comfortable with Traditional.
@The World@Double
Also, uh, let's say the location is Not-Japan
