Persona and Yu-Gi-Oh Inspired High School Trading Card RP

[Ammokkx]

Did you get the planetary elements from Golden Sun by any chance?

Either way, this looks decently fun. I'd like to voice interest in the 'Hell on Earth' deck, if you'll have me once you get your OOC up.

I'm still a little confused about how to play the game though, considering there are no numbers on the card themselves. How do you determine how much damage something does on a clean hit?

@Dynamo Frokane
Yep. Yep

[Nightwing95]

@Dynamo Frokane Sadly, I'll hae to be the first to recant my interest in this one. Wish you well guys and have fun.

I haven't read through everything in it's entirety, but I saw Persona and Yu-gi-oh, and I had to put my interest out there ^^

[AngelofOctober]

I'm interested, but the current decks aren't peaking my interest. I'd like to see a good zombie deck like Bones from Yugioh or even more famously Bakura and a deck that's structured on locking opponents plays. As that is also the type of card game player I was back in the day when Yugioh was popular.

Also, I don't see the Persona Part. If it's the part where they use real world magic to summon monsters, that's Shin Megami Tensei. Persona has always had themes about your personhood. It's the reason I suggest Leader cards like in Gwent or MTG Commander decks or even the Planeswalker.

As your Persona was a representation of your greatest fear, insecurity, etc. And currently I don't see the persona part besides summoning shit and that's any SMT game.

[Dolerman]

Okay weve lost some interest but also gained some interest, so I think I can justify going ahead with it.

OOC is taking a little longer than I thought, I was going to go with a map, and multiple locations, but the battle system is complicated enough so I might keep the free-roam simple.

A zombie deck is definately possible, I made a good chunk of undead cards when I started building the library.

Its persona based because a bunch of high schoolers have access to a transforming ability that allows them to tap into supernatural abilities, I'm sorry if thats not persona enough for you, but its the game that comes to mind when thinking about the slice of life/part time summoner genre.

@Ammokkx

So yes no numbers, its not a strict card game, the damage is all done in percentages, because I literally 'ref' every battle, you declare which cards you are using and how, and I let you know how each attack is resolved and how much damage is done. Every battle needs a third party to judge this.

-A zombie deck would be nice, it's what I'd like to play if you could make me one I'd adore you

-You missed the fundamental key component in a Persona game though. The demons are representations of their inner demons. I mean in Persona 3 to access their personas they must shoot themselves. Nothing gets more inner demon than shooting yourself in the head. I have played all the SMT games, Persona 1 up to 5. And all the Shin Megami Tensei Games. I came here because I thought that would be the fundamental understanding of the SMT Persona series is that the demons were representations of each of the other characters inner struggles.

Persona has always had a great highlight of featuring the insecurities of the people you are playing. Where as the SMT series in itself has always been about deep seeded philosophical issues and moral, even ethical quandaries.

I'm still interested. Just seems less Persona. And more Not Yugioh Yugioh. Which is fine I like Yugioh. I love Yugioh in fact. When DN was still a thing I played massive amounts of Yugioh.

@AngelofOctober

Indeed you are right, hence why I labelled it Persona and Yu-Gi-Oh Inspired and not 'Persona x Yu-gi-oh Universe' mainly to control expectations. But if you have a Persona RP coming up I'd love to play it. But until then, this is the game we are going with, the similarities are justified enough to give people a rough idea of what sort of world this is in. So to refute your earlier point I haven't missed anything.

@Dynamo Frokane

I didn't mean it in a rude way. Just making a conversation. As I tend to go for heavier characters or characters with a lot of weight to them. And the Persona inspired I was hoping for that. Not the silly oh "the heart of the cards" and more like inner torment and dark dwelling thoughts meets card game. Which is cool.

And I do have several Persona based and Persona RPs. I actually considered bringing one from another website to here.

@AngelofOctober

Well I'd probably advise against that, as you've pointed out, this isnt a persona RP, and trying to fit a character so deeply tied to that narrative in a completely original world might not provide the desired results. Its probably just best to wait until the OOC so you have a better Idea of the tone and direction of the RP, before any solid character concepts.

@Dynamo Frokane

I always try to use the interest check as the plotting and planning zone. But I can wait for the OCC. Again it wasn't meant to be rude, just a talking point of my tentativeness.

But if you're solid on making a zombie deck, then I am solid to join.

@AngelofOctober

I'll put a deck together today then, should be ready after the OOC is done.

[AngelofOctober]

Awesome fantastic. Thank you.

[Dolerman]

@Rai@Satoshi Kyou@AngelofOctober@Tenma Tendo@jynmi88@TaroAndSelia

OOC is all good to go, I'm going to add more locations and if you have any questions about the city and its history for the purposes of your CS bio, please don't be afraid to ask.

[Black24Star1]
