Up to around GX, so none of those Synchros and Xyzs. I might decide to keep Hieratics and such, but Synchros and Xyzs are almost definitely getting the boot, unless someone can tell me a god reason to keep them.

Thank you, the game will be a lot smoother without all that nonsense. You summon a card with tributes, not all this new bullshit about synchros and ranks.

Don't even get me started on Pendulums. I can't make heads or tails of that stuff. It uses some 'Pendulum meter' thing to determine what can and can't be summoned.

[darkpaladin109]

eh, Syncros aren't horrible, but they do take away from pretty much everything the past "generation" were building up, pretty much, so I agree on them getting the boot. Besides, the series where they're from is basically a lot of time in the future or whatever, so it makes sense that they wouldn't appear as well.

That wouldn't have flown in the hood back in the day. YuGiOh was clear cut and ferocious, not all these additives they had to put on, which I'd guess is just a means to sell more cards. Maybe that would have been alright for Pokemon, but definitely not the Y Game. (Not disrespecting the Pokemon TCG, but it was always perceived as more of a thing for suburban kids. Cultural/socioeconomic differences and all.)

So, in addition to dueling will there be a whole school aspect with actual classes and socializing with other students?

Yes. Yes there will.

I don't think I even know what synchronization stuff you're talking about.

For XYZ, are you talking about XYZ Dragon Tank?

But, but....I like machine-type decks! How can you have a machine deck without XYZ Dragon Tank?

Nah, XYZ Dragon Tank is fine. XYZ-Monsters though, they're part of the new stuff. This is how they work, see if you can figure it out.

[Rolepgeek]

...what the shit. I barely get it.

I think Synchro Summons are alright, but I also never had a special investment, so I just don't really see how it ruins whatever's being builton or whatever.

But also/mostly, I just know that in order for a lot of card games to stay interesting, they have to introduce new effects and mechanics sometimes, otherwise you just reach the limit of the variety of cards possible. Every block does it in MtG. Just, maybe not as drastic of changes as Yu-Gi-Oh does, with new monster card types and whatnot.

The only reason I think Synchro Summoning is okay is because it actually makes decks focusing on low level monsters a lot more viable, alongside cards that increase levels
So BlitzDungeoneer, where will we be playing this, once/if it starts? On that forum linked in your sig or here?

We'll be doing this here, as that forum is an open RP forum.

[BlitzDungeoneer]

Now, only thing left to decide is whether it will be a multiple character game, or a Suggestion Game. Which one? Or should I just make an OOC thread now?

I came up with a fun idea for a card game. You are one of several guys telling bullshit stories in a bar trying to score free drinks, represented by playing cards. The players are divided into three teams and with all of them trying to tell the best story while making sure the other teams don't win. In a turn, you can tell your story to get more respect, add a grain of truth to the other player's stories, or cause an outside circumstance to change the game's situation.

Spoiler: Rules (click to show/hide)

Basic Rules
The game is divided into Rounds, which are further divided into Stories, with them being divided into Turns. At the start of every Story, everyone 1d4 new Story cards from the deck with 1d4 Truth Cards. A 1d20 is rolled: if you get a 1, you get a Joker card.

The goal of the game is to get the most Respect Points. Respect Points are gained by placing Story Cards. The number on the card represents how many Respect Points you will get from playing it. You can only play one Card per Turn. The Round ends when there are no more cards to play.

Story Cards
Diamonds: Something succeeds.
"Yeah, I managed to kill that asshole in a kickass knife fight. I then set him on fire and threw him off a hill. Good day, good day."
Hearts: Something happy happens.
"So I found my wife in a mass grave, and she was completely fine. Little shaken up, but you can't ask for everything."
Clubs: Something fails.
"She stabbed me a ton and then set me on fire before throwing me off a hill. It's a lot less painful then you think, but it's the principle of the thing."
Spades: Something sad happens.
"I got buried alive in a mass grave. I still have nightmares about it. There were so many, many bodies. I had to crawl my way through them to get out."

Truth Card
Diamond: The story is backed up.
The Story Card's number is added to by the Truth Card's number.
"Yeah, it happened, I was there when it happened!"
Hearts: The story is added to.
The player's points are added by 1d(card number).
"I heard the hostages got rescued anyway, so it all went okay in the end."
Clubs: The story is subtracted from.
The player's points are subtracted by 1d(card number)
"Yeah, you may have been the guy swinging on a rope onto the boat like Errol fuckin' Flynn, but I was the guy who got you onto the ship in the first place."
Spades: The story is denied.
The Story Card's number is subtracted by the Truth Card's number.
"Hey, I was there, that didn't happen!"

Joker Cards
Diamonds: Everyone suddenly forgets their place.
For a turn, all the players may take one card from the table and put it in their hand.
"Now, where was I? Oh yeah."
Hearts: A story is conclusively disproved.
For a turn, the player who plays a card may permanently destroy a card.
"Hey, if that happened, why does this newspaper say the guy who burnt down the house was a tall blond?"
Clubs: A detail is remembered.
For a turn, all players may take a card from the pack and add it to their hand.
"You know, when I think about it, I forgot something..."
Spades: One of the storytellers gets temporarily incapacitated.
For a turn, a player may silence another player. They are unable to place any Story cards for that turn but can deploy Truth and Joker cards still.
"You're saying that I'm not a nice guy?! Motherfucker, you're going down!" *stabstabstab*

What do you guys think? Any critique? Who would be interested?

[BlitzDungeoneer]

It seems like an interesting system, to say the least. Definitely interested in this.

[Digital Hellhound]

I'm all for a storytelling game. Is there any actual gameplay difference between sad/happy, success/failure? Like 'the atmosphere is melancholy for this turn; gain +3 Respect Points from Spades'?

[darkpaladin109]

Sounds interesting enough.
