Oh, hey look. A reboot of someone else's RP. So not too long ago, this RP called the Duel Tower came into existence and died down. I've taken up the banner, however, and am fully ready to revive it better than ever!

As you can read in the little prologue, this RP will take place in a large skyscraper-esque building called the Duel Tower, situated in a desert. We'll all be playing first year students attending this place for the first time for various reasons. It'll be the first of a three year study period, so the characters will be aged 14-17 depending on when they decided to join the academy. The focus will mainly be on the interactions between all these different characters and their different skill levels, evolving and growing over time. This isn't to say the entire RP will take place INSIDE this building however. There are a few locations situated outside of the tower, such as various arenas who focus on different styles of dueling. There's also another skyscraper, already half broken down... The old building. Insects and animals roam the place and use it as shelter, so it's strictly forbidden to go there.

Naturally, I plan to add some form of danger to the RP later as to not have it be stale. But that's for the future. I'll be honest, I can't say I'll completely stick to what I have planned as I am curious to see what the characters do and will happily adjust some elements of the story if it doesn't quite line up with what is happening at the moment, or if certain personalities don't allow for it. Players will be able to earn cards over time, but don't worry! I've made sure that no matter if you win or lose a duel, you can always buy two card packs. This is so that the progression isn't too slow and we don't constantly see duels where people use the same deck over and over, as that wouldn't be fun. Part of the appeal is that while you may start with one theme, your character can grow and evolve over time with something entirely different.

There are certain things I am not quite sure of, however. There's the issue with Life Points for example. Some people prefer to fight with only 4000, like they do in the show, but others feel like sticking to 8000 is the way to go. What do you guys think of this? I've also added a feature to make this academy feel like one, and that is the option to have your character study two courses. These courses will be chosen at the start and justified in-story. The general gist of it is while everyone will have these dueling lessons, those who choose to specialize have more general hours in that subject and will also be learned new tricks, or be allowed to nominate themselves for exhibition duels so that the school may show off their best. For example, someone who specializes in Turbo Dueling will be taught more in-depth on how to ride a Duel Runner on manual, as well as be allowed to duel with Auto-pilot off. I would like to add this feature, but if you guys don't want it then I won't add it.

That's the general gist of it all! Sorry if it was a bit much to read, I just wanted to share the idea and make it sound more appealing. Everyone is welcome to join, no matter what experience level. You're attending a dueling school after all, so making mistakes is allowed! If you have any questions or concerns, ask them now and I'll do my best to answer them. But right now I have a question for you all: Who is interested in joining?

I guess I'm in for the ride.

i'm staying... after a little lecture of adding more uh... details if someone minds giving me that...

At last, Reth rises from the dead

You said Duel Runner and mentioned Turbo Duels, but my question is will Action Dueling (i.e.: ARC-V) be available? And if you're including more Anime-esque environments and storylines, I would stay stick to 4000 LP. Duels go faster that way as well. Personally, I'd love to be the Yugo kind of character, who rides around on a Duel Runner during Action Duels. Quite epic, actually.

IDK if I'd be along for the ride, yet, as I need more details (how are our opening Decks decided, how does the randomness of opening a booster pack work, while we're at it, how many cards in a pack, what limitations are placed on players in Dueling [RNG'd Draws or we choose based on storyline purposes], etc)

Many questions to be answered.

EDIT: If we're allowed to choose our opening Decks, could I build my Yang Zynchron (Yang Zing + Synchron) Deck and upgrade as I go along? Not starting with stuff like T.G. Hyper Librarian, Stardust Warrior, Accel Synchron, and other such Synchros, but perhaps upgrading to include such? Also would Stardust Dragon be available despite being a unique card in the anime? Just wanting to know how all this will work.

Ideal Yang Zynchron Build (works, at least for me, even competitively)

Action duels will be available, yes. I've included all three main ways of dueling into the academy, so you don't have to worry about it. I'm also REALLY on the fence about riding a Duel Runner during an action duel, as combining those two just doesn't make any sense to me. Part of the reason why I like both is because one removes an entire type of card and adds it's own instead, while the other opens up more flexibility in how you play.

You claim a structure deck, and nobody else can claim that structure deck. They can be custom built, but have to adhere by the rules I posted here. I open booster packs for the players when they buy them to prevent cheating, and the way duels work I've explained here.

Hoo boy... Alright, let's start with the major one first. No plot cards ever, for anyone. This is set in a universe where all the story lines have happened, and PC's shouldn't have access to those cards because of it. So also no sidegrades like Stardust Warrior. Also that deck... It exceeds a lot of limitations on what I'd allow in power. Keep in mind we're playing with STRUCTURE decks at the start, who stand no chance against actual competetive decks. If you want to make your character's deck look like that by the end of it that is fine by me; granted you can justify someone knowing to look for those exact cards. You'd need to start with a more thinned version of that I'm afraid, while Structure Decks allow multiple copies of a certain card they also usually have more than 19 unique cards in there.

EDIT: And thanks for the note on LP! I'll chalk that one up as the only vote right now. If nobody else objects it'll be 4000 then (though I personally think it's a little too fast.)

EDIT2: Alright, after mulling it over a bit I've decided I'm going to add an Action Turbo Duel arena, but the lessons there fall under Turbo Duel course standards because of the dangerous tricks you have to do to get the harder to access Action cards.

A place where I can specialize in turbo dueling? Count me in! I have been needing to bring in my character from another dueling rp that didn't get off the ground so this is perfect

@Ammokkx
Question what structure decks are their to pick from? Cause I have a certain deck in mind that I want to duel with

@Ammokkx

Any TCG/World wide structure decks available or a custom one(With the rules for them being posted here.)

Guess I am back in for the ride!

@Ammokkx
Then I call the dragunity structure deck but I'm going to change a few cards when we start

Time to dust off the ol' Parshath deck.

Shall I Bring back Dragons Collide or maybe just use those custom chaos emissary cards I never got to use.

I can't allow that, sorry. A structure deck has to be what you get (Plus replacements for banned cards, naturally) or something original. Otherwise you could claim it as a custom deck, then another person can run around with Dragunity. You're allowed to take a card pack and edit it with cards you get off of that, though!

Okay, tough choice but I'll stick with the structure deck. I'm not going to custom it just cause their are one or two cards I don't like.
So officially in cashing the dragunity legion structure deck @Ammokkx

Time to dust off the ol' Parshath deck.

Know what, ignore this. This was stupid.(edited)

So when do we start boss?

So when do we start boss?

Unless there's a large demand for it to start now, in two days. I don't like jumping the gun because that's exactly what killed the previous RP.

I'm also REALLY on the fence about riding a Duel Runner during an action duel, as combining those two just doesn't make any sense to me.

ARC-V Episode 47 is what I'm referencing when I say this. Not necessarily an Action Turbo Duel, though that also happens in the Synchro Dimension story arc. If you don't want me scaring the crap out of people by racing toward them at 100 mph during an Action Duel, I can understand and won't use the Runner during one, but I figured it might be fun lol

And what I meant was not to start with the Deck exactly like that, but finish with it very similar, or perhaps exactly like that, though if we have to specifically choose Structure Decks, maybe if I started with Structure Deck: Synchron Extreme and added some Yang Zings and some of the other cards as we go along? After all, much of what the Deck entails is based on Synchron Extreme.

EDIT: Looked at your custom banlist (I'm assuming based largely on TCG Advanced Format, as certain cards like Monster Reborn are allowed in OCG), and banning Kozmo, I can understand as they've not yet been touched by the banlist (though that day is coming . . . I hope), but something like Nekroz has been so heavily hit by the banlists anyway, it's not nearly what it used to be. Same with Qlis and BA. (BA was the most OP of that trio and surprisingly they didn't even get a mention.) Also, so Xyz-based Decks can't use Numbers, I'm assuming, and also no Dimension Dragons (Odd-Eyes, Dark Rebellion, Clear Wing, and when it comes out, whatever the frick the Fusion Dragon is, and their upgrades)?

Also with Pendulum Domination coming out in a matter of days in the OCG, should players, especially those who come in with a late start, have access to it, and therefore, the D/D/D archetype, or is this TCG-only?

EDIT2: If not Synchron Extreme, then perhaps a Superheavy Samurai custom Deck? That recipe is far underpowered compared to my more competitive Superheavy Sam build. (My competitive build can defeat my brother's D/D/D and Performapal Deck, which have both defeated meta Decks like Nekroz and Burning Abyss before the most recent list, as well as Kozmos since then, among others.)

Wait, during an actual Action duel? That's even more wrong. First off, with how irregular the fields are, you're probably going to crash into a lot of walls and second off you'd need to be good at riding manual for that, so you'd be in the Turbo Dueling course and not the Action Dueling course. Granted you can do action duels as a turbo duelist, I think you'd just be shooting yourself in the foot trying that on a Duel Runner.

Also, I don't care what you end up with. That's up to the players. I just want a level playing field at the start. Preferably you wouldn't make a deck that crushes everyone that tries to duel you, but I have enough fate that players are respectful enough to not do that to others.

Edit: Also note, if you do take Synchron Extreme, you'd need to find a replacement for Stardust Warrior.

Oi. Varionus' Banlist =/= my banlist. I'm relaunching the thread. There's some changes to it. Also, if I consider an archtype strong enough to be banned it will be banned no questions asked.

EDIT: And keeping in the spirit of things, no OCG. It'd confuse the ban list anyway.

EDIT2: And another note, I'm allowing certain numbers in the form of custom card copies,but not all of them. The powerful ones will remain banned and won't get a copy in all but name and appearance.
