Finding Players (Recruitment)Look for players for chatroom, play-by-post, or even real-life games here. Threads will expire after 3 months, so be sure to move important information to your OOC thread.
Vylons (Fairy themed) have several synchro and even an XYZ monster that prioritize equips; either through Equip Spells or Monsters that can equip. Armed Samurai - Ben Kei is based around the Monster Card of the same name, which involves equiping the guy will several cards like Mage Power and United We Stand and attack multiple times in one Battle. Best thing is that he is a warrior and level 4, so he can easily be searched out. Morphtronics (Machine/Thunder themed) can do the equip stuff as well with their synchro ally Power Tool Dragon.
You could also make a Gemini deck as it is known to use Equip Cards like Supervise to and can be decent beaters.
I think I'll try an armed samurai Ben Kei/Gemini deck then, in order to try a new style.

I'm known on DN for zombies. Trying to decide if I want to go that route for this. I have a Zombies XYZ and a Wights deck that are both pretty mean, and wights can be used from game start...
Hmm... Alternatively I'd probably do a burn deck because I've never made one but would like to. Either that or a mill deck, or remove from play. :3
Here is the easiest way for me to do this, and I think it would be the best.
Every character is going to be introduced into the game of Duel Monsters in different ways, but this will be your first time ever playing. Since this is your first deck, you will describe how you got it, either finally saving up enough or even getting it as a gift.
Your deck will be a surprise as to what cards are in it, but you are welcome to modify it. Throughout the game, you will be awarded and able to purchase booster packs. More and more will slowly become available, and what you receive will be random. With this, every player will have their own trunk, and trading will be encouraged, so teamwork will help. :)
As for the more detailed rules, I am still flushing them out. So they will be posted in the OOC once it goes up. For right now though: Choose your deck.
Starter Decks:
Black
Red
Green
Blue
White
Yellow
Pink
I will have to draw the limit at 7 players, wither you travel with the main group or not, and your position will be secured once you have posted a complete character sheet and claimed a deck. No copies please.
I'll go with the yellow deck(and work on a backstory on how my character got it).
I'll get my character sheet up soon(stats are done, just need fluff, one thing I was wondering about and wanted to find out before I wrote the fluff; what age range would be good for the characters? I was thinking of going with 16-18 for my character, but wanted to check first(I could also go older, but I would prefer not to go much younger with his age) (link to sheet, no fluff yet)

I'll have a sheet up by the end of the day probably in a few hours.
I haven't played in years though, like since before the original series with Yugi finished (before GX and the Duel Academy) so all the stuff about Synchros is new to me, I hope that won't be a problem.

Sorry everyone
Well, this looks fun. I'd like to join this, however I must say that I'm at GMT+10 for time zones. If that's a problem I'll drop out and let someone else have the slot.
Here's my basic character sheet.
I'd like to have the green deck please. I've only done a brief discription and I haven't done my background yet, because I'm just about to go to work, and I haven't done my equipment yet, because I haven't generated starting wealth yet. And I assumed the standard 25 point buy for character creation.
I've added some fluff, just need equipment next.
roll for wealth score: (2d4+1)[6]
edit: also, which of these two selections of languages known do you think would be more useful to someone who learned them in order to be able to read and restore old/ancient texts?
English
Old English & Celtic
with either
Japanese & Latin
or
Old Norse & Old English.
(or Latin and Old English)

Latin would definitely prove useful for reading and restoring, seeing how it was in use for a very long time across most of Europe. The other language really comes down to personal preference or what you think the museum would most likely have.
Ah yes, wealth rolls. I was wondering if we would be doing them here. Now I suppose so.
Also, sorry Necron, I didn't see your post until today. Funny fact, we posted the exact same minute.
Liam will be the World Champion Chess player from Germany. He is also the heir to an incredibly wealthy family. The source of their wealth is something of a mystery but some say they trace their nobility to before the rise of the Holy Roman Empire.

Now done, also reposting my claim on the Black starter deck.
Huh... taking a look at the otehr character sheets now and I'm realizing that everyone else seems to have used point buy... am I allowed to use the scores that I rolled? Or do I need switch to a point buy or roll here on the forums?

I think at the very least you would need to roll here on the forums, but I'm still waiting for official word from the DM on how we are supposed to do stats. My stats are more or less placeholders until I find out.

And for my Wealth: [roll0]
I'll go with english, latin, old norse(or perhaps something else, not 100% sure, may switch it to old english, since it seems like that one was common for quite a while), and celtic then

If anyone wants to get some practice in before the game starts, I'll be trying to get a grip on the basics of burn decks in Duel Network from about 7 tonight. My Username is identical to the one on this site.
