Sign Up Yu-Gi-Oh The Dark Seed duels

[JesterSpirit]

If this gets going it will be my fifth Yugi campaign. First off this is a full on rpg, its going to be a long one like all my campaigns. Players will take on the roles of new duelist with only basic decks and will have to earn better cards through actual rp. If your wondering yes there will be a lot of dueling however forget the honor system. It doesn't work so I made my own system for online duels.

Duel Mechanics: I will be a referee for every duel. As the ref I will run the duels. The duelist will PM their whole deck to me and I will decide what cards they draw at the beginning of every round. Everything else is up to the players. This does make duels a bit longer but it also prevents any kind of cheating. Actual rules for the duels are decided before every duel (Sacrifice on or off, lifepoints etc). There isn't a whole lot of randomness in damage so its easy to track your lifepoints. Its a little odd at first but the system does work and you get used to it after a few duels.

I won't actually be dueling in the same sense of the players. All my characters will be the npcs in various tournaments. I will make each of their decks myself. When a player faces off against me things will be a bit different. I could cheat as much as I wanted to but that kind of kills the purpose of running an rpg now doesn't it. When dueling me just be on your toes, I will generally never throw anything at you that you cannot currently defeat with what cards are in your hand, though there are some duels you just can't win (like trying to beat one of the main npcs in your first duel).

Also if someone you wish to duel, or are currently dueling, happens to online and I am as well, feel free to invite us all to a chatroom where we will hold the duel in real time. Afterwards I will post the results.

Character Creation: Everything is pretty much up in the air, but this is the same basic world Yugi is in so I don't wanna see any vampires or weird crap. Just stick to humans. I may accept some magic or other things but don't be surprised if I don't.

Deck Creation: Now the tough part. You must PM me with a completed deck before you can post. This is your deck that you begin with and it can change only through rp. You can choose 45 cards as your starter deck. Remember that everyone starts as a new duelist. You might have some experience but your deck is still weak. 40 common and 5 rare (uncommon, rare, super rare, ultra rare, are all just considered rare in this rp).

New Cards: In an attempt to keep things interesting I will allow brand new cards that the players created themselves. This is mainly to add some originality to your deck and you can expect my npcs to each have atleast a few of their own cards. When it comes to making your own cards, as with decks I have to approve each one before you can use it so don't expect to use that 4000 4000 level 4 monster you dreamed up anytime soon. New cards all count as rare, so you can start with a maximum of five. After character creation, just like with regular cards, you get the chance to make new cards only through rp.

- A guideline for new creature cards. Do not exceed a combined attack and defense of 4250 or I can almost guarantee I won't accept it no matter what level it is.


Deck Evolution: Players can always trade amongst themselves. However you can only get new cards from me. So no posting that your uncle just sent you his blue eyes white dragon. You get new cards by duels that use ante rules, winning tournaments, and the occasional side story.

Plot: This game starts at the end of Pegasus' tournament, Yugi beat him just like the series. About a month afterwards he vanished. Not just Yugi though, Kaiba, Keith, Mako, Weavel, Joey, Mai, Tristan. Just about every major or even mildly experienced dueler suddenly dissapeared. No one could find them or even the slightest clue as to what happened. Duel Monsters almost ended right there, but some people never give up. New duelist have risen in just about every country all over the world. New leagues are sprouting up everywhere and things are moving again. Just about all these new duelist are rookies though sporting nothing more than basic cards, though rare ones are still showing up here and there.

The oddest thing of all are the three duelist that are reviving the game all across the world. They are a trio of duelist calling themselves Dark Seeds. They have incredible decks and have completely dominated the usual leagues. Many people have said they believe those Dark Seeds got their great decks by taking them from the missing Duelers though no one has any real proof. In any case the Dark Seeds have become incredibly popular. They hold tournaments here and there offering incredibly powerful and rare cards as prizes to the winners. They rarely take part in their own tournaments though preferring to crush the competition by competing only in other peoples leagues.

Jestyr, one of the three Dark Seeds, has announced he is holding a tournament in the town of Puyallup. Registration is free and all are welcome. The winnner will recieve two rare cards.

Post any characters and PM me with your deck as soon as its finished. We will start as soon as we have a few completed characters. Below is a description of one of my npcs, just follow that design for your characters.
