I am still on RPG, so do feel free to message me. Just don't have the time or energy to actually join any RP's right now. Focusing on a LOT of other projects, including getting into Audio Drama.

Sorry for disappearing for 2 months. Life kinda went to shit and RPG was pushed to the back of my mind.

@Lord Wraith Well, one of the things I would like to request from the next few posts is clarification that T'Challa is NOT king yet. Primarily because that would make him a pretty shitty king if he just ran off from his royal duties to another country and although I do plan to make him flawed... Not that flawed.
Having T'Chakka be king would be a central part of the story and I don't think would change anything from your last post. Storm'd still be T'Challa's GF.
Also, instead of the Xavier Institute (Being that it doesnt exist in this timeline... Yet...) I was gonna have her having lead the Morlocks during her time in America. With them being her in.
I'm not gonna tell you how to run your story, but I would request you at least leave the door open for these ideas.

@Ezekiel Yeah, I had already just about given up on the Super BFFs sheet I had been working on and with that, im officially giving up on it. Currently busy with a lot of shit going on. Gonna be on holiday next week, coming home to drop stuff off before heading straight to a funeral and then next day going to be getting shitfaced at my dad's birthday party.
So yeah, in 2 weeks I may make a "Black Panther and Storm running the Mutant Railroad" story I've been thinking of.

Banned for being an alien.
Well, i just posted the latest episode of "Dotty doesn't live in the same universe as everyone else."
Also, if anyone wants any of the songs i'm using for their characters, do let me know and i'll edit them out. I'm kinda hogging the monopoly at the moment.

Dotty saluted to Taivas as he gave her her "Special secret mission" "Poodlewolf, you know what this means?"
"That the hopes and dreams of this kingdom and are entirely dependent on you and your ability to concentrate?" Zen-Aku responded. She scowled at him in response.
"No, silly. It means that i have been chosen by the party to take on a difficult quest with only you, Poodlewolf to guide me. WE GOT A QUEST!!!" She jumped around in a circle, far too excited to even pretend to hold it in. "I GOTTA TELL MY FIANCE!!!" She giggled, looking around. "Hubby?" She called, before looking around again and saw only Briar Rose. "Yo, Lady, where did the tall drink of water go? The hot one with the scarlet cloak and the dreamy eyes and the cute hair..." She sighed with longing. Briar didn't respond. She walked up to her and tugged her dress. "Oi, lady!" She tugged again. Briar looked down at her.
"Oh, i'm dreadfully sorry, young one." She smiled, bending down. "How may i help you?"
"I asked what happened to Tall, Dark and Handsome?" She asked again, getting slightly annoyed at this woman who was making goo-goo eyes at her man. Briar looked off longingly.
"He said he needed to inform his father of what was going to happen?" She smiled. Dotty smiled in response.
"Oh yes, engagement after such a short time is always a whirlwind. But love is love." She cooed longingly to be held in his arms again. Briar nodded.
"Indeed, i will need to tell my guardians." She smiled. Zen-Aku watched Yuna, Rikku and Paine zooming off towards their home. "Come, you are to be my protector?" She smiled, humouring the little girl.
"Could beat your butt with my mask." The little girl scowled, grabbing it. Zen-Aku's spirit grabbed the mask to prevent Dotty from putting it on. Dotty scowled at him, before remembering the quest. She rolled her eyes as she slung the mask back around her back. As Briar danced gracefully through the forest, Dotty followed her. "I don't get it, Poodlewolf, why is she so happy that he is marrying me?" Zen-Aku looked at her.
"Perhaps... She is under the impression that he's going to marry her?" Dotty looked around, shocked and appalled by such an accusation.
"MARRY MY MAN?!?!?!?" She screamed. She looked back at Briar, watching her not paying attention to the puppies freak-out. "Look at that tramp!" She growled. "Look at how happy she is at the idea of stealing MY man! Just because she has a perfect figure and..." She looked down at her own flat chest. "Being old enough to actually have babies..." She shook her head. "She's so confident in her perfection. I mean look at her." She growled as music slowly wafted through the air. "I bet she wakes up every morning looking to break another girls heart, stealing another man..."
Zen-Aku stood looking at the huffing child as she finished her long tirade of accusations of Briar's infinite vanity. "That's it. No more Sugar before missions."
"NO FAIR!!!!" She screamed.
"That the hopes and dreams of this kingdom and are entirely dependent on you and your ability to concentrate?" Zen-Aku responded. She scowled at him in response.

Roight, it's been too bloody hot these last few days and now i'm in somewhere with my laptop and AC so i can think.
@Ryik Honestly, all good questions.
1) Still deciding on story, as i said this is an Interest Check in the literal sense of "Who would even be interested in something like this?"
2) To be fair, in freeform RP's like this, there is always that problem. "How does Superman act as an effective character in this DC RP when he can literally just laser someone's face off the moment things get spicy." And the simple answer is that we are all subject to the rule of Narrative. Think of it like Duelist Kingdom. Duelist Kingdom has no rules. They are literally "What we need them to be for this episode to work. The Panik fight especially so. Point is, if characters are going to win battles, then the narrative will shift to help them win the battle, regardless of other factors.
Pretty much: "If Yajerobi needs to defeat Broly in a 1v1 in order for the story to progress, then you'd best believe Yajerobi is gonna beat Broly in that 1v1."
This is just how narrative works.
3) As i said in the first post. Characters decks wouldn't be a set thing. Pretty much, if you set your character up as having an archetype then you reasonably get any card you need from that archetype as you need it. Allows players to mess about with some of the crappy cards, super-situational cards. Think of Jaden's deck with all of those cards that only work with 1 specific hero.
Again, as in the first post, it avoids players from having to build decks based on the current meta in order to have a chance of ever being allowed a win in a PVP battle.
Pretty much, spaced is warped and time is bendable, most of this is "Don't worry about it."
@Darkmoon Angel
My last game of Yu-Gi-Oh! was when they first released Dragon Rulers which convinced me to never play the game ever again, i have no idea what a "Rush Duel" is, but i don't see why not, unless there are specific mechanics that prevent Rush Exclusive stuff from working in the main game?
@Product
As i said earlier in the post, this is mostly going to be narratively driven, so don't worry about going nuts with rules.
But definitely want to lean into the Duelist Kingdom style insanity. Definitely at least need 1 cardgame on motorcycles at some point.
@Digmata
They made another format for Yu-Gi-Oh! I mean beyond Advanced and Traditional.

While it won't have players actually playing the game, imposing guidelines like "GOAT/Time Wizard" or "Edison" could also keep things under control, and ease some players' "analysis paralysis".

So, how is the Collab post going? I'm busy today, but gonna try to make my next IC post with Dotty tomorrow.
Creator's note: This is a literal Interest Check in the sense that i'm not sure if i want to run this, but i'm checking interest in the concept.
So, i've been recently rewatching the Yu-Gi-Oh! original anime and thinking to myself "Wow, you can tell this is fiction, because people are playing this card game and actually having fun and dynamic battles." Because, let's face facts, most Yu-Gi-Oh RP's i've seen are ruined by the fact that this game has become a 1-turn game where early game is meeting your opponent, mid-game is shuffling and deciding who goes first and end-game is showing each other your opening hands and deciding who's gonna pull out their insta-win combo first. I like that universe the show created, i like the lore and the idea of the game they play, but the simple fact is that the actual game isn't that game. Hell, i owned my own card game shop for 10 years and all of my YGO players agreed "We don't play this game because it's fun, we play it because Sunk Cost Fallacy has taken control of our lives"
So, i'm thinking of making something based on the VR arcs from the first series, specificially both of the arcs dealing with The Big 5... Kinda more along the lines of Digimon. Where the idea is a bunch of kids and their decks get sucked into a fantasy world where their Duel Monsters Decks and the monsters and cards they play are the only things capable of protecting them. Where it doesn't matter that one player decides to have a Kuriboh deck and someone else is playing the latest Centaur-Ions, because story dynamic decides duels, not the meta, meaning that player interaction is the important thing, not "Well, i'm playing the latest meta, meaning i am literally incapable of losing any match-ups with other players, because they wanted to play something else." that 90% of RP's like this end up being.
I'm currently thinking of having deck creation be like:
So, anyone got any thoughts on this?
