Yugioh rp

Sounds like the gist is that players will play out duel.as if they were competing but meta intervention is going to keep it from just being who has the most OP deck.

I'm not sure I understand how it's meant to work- when you say the winner is random, it kind of implies to me that you can out-duel the opponent, but still lose?? Would skill in the game even matter??

@BenG85

I assume they mean that the winner is not predetermined most of the time, as in it will be skill based for the most part. if there is a story reason for someone to win however then the result will be scripted.

I have a question about the duels though @Blade17. You say we are posting pictures of the cards we play in discord but what determines our draws and stuff? Do we just draw whatever we want from our deck?

[Blade17]

Well it will work like any other duel if u use a real life deck shuffle the card then draw five. Unless like i said if the plot demands it you will get the specific cards you need

[Birdboy]

@Blade17 I am dumb so give me a one-sentence answer, please. When I draw a card do I choose what it is or do I need to use something to determine what I draw?

[Blade17]

Well it would be a random draw

[King Cosmos]

@Blade17

So... are you expecting us to have real decks, which we use for the RP? Because as I said I am only just getting back into Yugioh. All my decks are like five or six years old.

[Birdboy]

@King Cosmos If that's the case I can keep my decks older. My question is how we do a draw. Like unless we use dueling book or YGOpro, or have the real cards, how would I draw a card randomly? Not a critique, more so just looking for suggestions.

[Blade17]

That’s true well I can’t use any of those cause i rp off my phone

[Birdboy]

@Blade17 So how should we draw?

[Blade17]

Idk so you have any idea

[Birdboy]

@Blade17 I am fine with just choosing our draw. As long as no one is a complete godmodder among us. But you are the GM. It just helps keep people who aren't savvy with the new game stay relevant and it keeps duels from puttering out into OTK or having one person whose deck is significantly more consistent than everyone else. This way deck list won't have to be super concise and players can show off new cards to keep everyone on their toes.

[Blade17]

Yea that’s fine with me too

[Birdboy]

problem solved

[Blade17]

Yup

[RickyG85]

Something I once did for an rp? I compiled a list of cards for a deck, each one numbered. To do the random draw, I used a Google app that randomly generates numbers, with the range limited to the number of cards in my "deck".

[King Cosmos]

@Blade17 Is four people enough to start the discord? Assuming everyone who has shown interest here ends up joining?

[Blade17]

Yea everyone should give me their discords

[RickyG85]

Can I assume original/players created cards are out of the question?

[Blade17]

Original cards are alright as long as they aren’t op

[Birdboy]

@BenG85 @Blade17 I would say maybe if you're using origonal cards it would be best to bring them to the GM or to the group first. That said I always like seeing what people come up with!
