Default Re: Card Sharps (Yugioh RP)

can we roll for the Japan only sets?(most of the Japan only ones came with only 5 cards per pack according to the wiki, with english sets usually being two Japanese sets combined, with the cards per pack increased to 9)
I do sort of like the idea of rolling for cards in a smaller, more specific set, but wasn't 100% sure what the Gm's ruling on that bit is.

I can say for sure the 8 rolls was a typo. We checked and saw there are 9 cards/pack but between my appointment and getting back from it yesterday, we were both too weary to change that. So it is 9/pack thus 9 rolls ....

I'll let him decide on the Japanese packs though if he said stick to 2002-2003 packs, lest you go for a very specific card, I'd stay with those.

I wanted to ask, because the DM mentioned it before, but when it comes to dueling, could we maybe not require the DM to be present for every duel? I think it should be satisfactory for pvp duels if we just get another player to sit in as a witness or something like that.

Going to roll for a few more packs. Got a couple of cards I really want to draw before the game starts.

EDIT: Guess that explains why nobody does that here.

Should've done [rollv*]XdY[/rollv*] instead of [roll*]XdY[/roll*] if you want to see the results of each dice roll rather than just their sum. Like so

(9d256)[99][166][158][205][4][201][197][153][162](1345)

Ah, much appeciated. I'd really like to get a confirmation or denial on whether or not we are allowed to trade our cards out with other players at this point. I'm toting around quite the trunk.

Rolling for a few more packs(I can remove the bottom four cards from the pcg ones if Tsumeken ends up ruling that we should roll differently for those);
500KP remaining

Legend of the Blue Eyes White Dragon(TCG);
Spoiler


Struggle of Chaos(OCG);
Spoiler


Power of the Guardians(OCG);
Spoiler


Pharaoh's Servant(OCG);((edit: used a die 1 result to large, so reducing the results by -1))
Spoiler


also buying a black luster ritual for 1000KP



Adding a link back to the recruitment thread in case we need to access it for anything


edit: also, should we make a thread for cases where we end up wanting to run a duel but can't meet up for using DN?, I just realized there's no reason we couldn't use both a pbp method and DN(play-by-post may also be useful for duels that might end up with a lot of roleplaying, since it's somewhat awkward to rp on DN)

I was just watching for the most part, since the game is more player driven then DM driven with duels/interactions/etc I'll post up some plot in a sec, just gotta pull up the plot sheets and figure out which one sounds funner.

Sorry I haven't been on much lately, they changed up my roster at work for a bit but it's settled back down to normal now.

Also, if you're doing some pbp dueling, I still have my blank template around if anyone would like to use it.

To prevent re-rolls, we used to strike out drawn cards, renumber the deck and roll the new deck size. So while the first 5 would be 5d40 with rerolls, the first draw would roll 1d35, the next 1d34 and so on.

Is Jar of Greed really useful for you Necron? I understand the idea is to generate hand advantage to better utilize Muka Mukas but you are using a card to draw a card which is mathematically (-1 to +1) so while it might be useful for thinning the deck, or maybe bluffing it won't make your hand count any higher. Plus it's a trap so it has a decent capacity to be negated before or during activation. Just curious about your reasoning.

Jar of Greed was in my starter deck.
I need Pot of Greed (Spell card, draw 2) to inflate my hand


Although Jar's main purpose is to bluff and inflate my Grave. There are a few cards I have my eye on that need traps in my Grave

Interesting that you bring it up, because it raises a question. Pot of Greed is banned in TCG advanced. It has been since... pretty much always.

Are we playing with card bans in effect or not? If I remember correctly we are, under the pretense that there is some pretty damn broken stuff out there.

Jar turtle could be useful for drawing, though it needs to be face up for it's effect to work. Legacy of Yata can be useful as well, if you end up with a lot of spirit monsters.

I've never seen Pot Turtle before, but 2100 defense on a four star monster with no draw backs is pretty decent in and of itself.

So what is the relationship between the 3000 points we started with and the 500 shown on the duel disks? Do we have 3500 points total or what?
