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.
After having our first gm vanish I've decided to open a thread looking for a new one.
The system is d20 modern for all non-card game stuff, and either DN(dueling network) or a pbp forum method for the duels.
So far we have the following as rules currently(though the g is free to change a few);
System: d20 modern with 25 point buy/DN or pbp for duels.
Misc rules;
Everyone starts with a deck with unknown(but fairly weak) contents made by the gm, this is in order to make deck building more likely.
As the game progresses we can earn more cards(previous gm never stated anything specific, one though idea I had for handling this was using a separate currency from the d20 modern wealth system to handle obtaining cards) with misc assorted random ones being easier to obtain then specific ones.
We each select one card that is guaranteed for our starter deck(this is a new rule that we've talked about since the gm left, but everyone seems t like it so far), it’s up to the gm to decide how to limit the selection(if they do want to limit it).
Most of us also already have characters set up, and the thread can be found here.

I kinda run something like this for my wife, we usually select settings such as
Yugioh
GX setting
5d's Setting
Homebrew setting.
These settings sometimes come with restrictions on cards that may be included, obviously in GX there were no synchros and in 5ds there were no XYZ network cards. It may be easiest to do this on a Homebrew setting but we should probably pick a timeline... just for the sake of how advanced tech is (D gazers vs D wheels). Anyways I can probably do this with some help I get my wife to co DM maybe (will ask) as she would be useful in making decks for starter packs for people as well as maybe involving a storyline/booster pack system.
The one thing I will put forward is that Shadow Realm/Banishment/Evil Soul sucking technique of the time. Will not be immediately available to the players. However it will also not be immediately used against them and will never result in no escape from said world.

I'm probably gonna make..... 10 starter decks... or 15... still thinking on that. I'm trying to think of enough to make it so that there would be few to no overlaps.

For tech level: maybe Duel Disks? Battle City versions that are just coming out.
And Duel Monsters isn't the Only card game/hobby/tournament style thing around to explain why our characters are new to the hobby?

Sounds fine, as does the homebrew setting.
I'm fine with any point in the tech timeline, and we can see what the other's would like.

That sounds fair, your characters maybe played other games but in the Yugiverse it is pretty well established that with this game you can actually make a career and massive amounts of moolah off of the hobby.

Yeah that always confused me about the whole thing because, well Duel Monsters isn't Old, it's fairly recent.
Pegasus had maybe 20 years between discovering the tomb to Duelist Kingdom? I don't know the exact number.
To have either completely wiped out all competition or been the first of it's kind and maintain it's dominance completely is a bit WTFworthy

Sorry everyone
As a secondary Q' since it is homebrew we can ignore timeline restrictions and allow Synchros/XYZ. This will give more card availabilities and decks in the long run. Wondering if that would be okay for everyone.

Some Synchros like "Revived King HaDes" require specific tuners, while others can be any or one of a specific monster type or element.
Xyz is less picky in some respects though like Sychros they require elements and types sometimes.
3 star monster + 3 star monster = rank 3 Xyz monster
Xyz's are summoned by overlapping two monsters of the same level on each other and summoning a monster of equal level/rank on them. The monsters then act as counters that can be removed to activate the Xyz monster's ability. The kinda annoying thing about Xyz monster's is that the stars are called rank not level, as such they are immune to level targeting abilities and effects. ie. Level Limit A&B, Roulette Barrel, Etc.
EDIT: Gonna start working on Starters.

Nice Overview there. I would suggest maybe deciding 10 deck types and distributing them however you are planning, before making them. After all, if we only have say six players that would take four decks worth of work off of yourself. I would also approve of the battle city tech level (In part because I quit watching the show after that and am only familiar with the cards and that one time travel movie)
I would encourage full card playability over the course of the game by witch I mean that I would encourage all cards becoming available at some point.
Yeah that works I've finished 1 deck so far, if everyone to put the cards they want (like select your avatar as Yugi has Dark Magician, and Kaiba has Blue Eyes White Dragon) since I think I saw a few card requests. One thing I will do is the basic starter deck format, 40 cards 5 extra deck, everyone will get a 'Swords of Revealing Light' no matter what deck you pick as those seem staple in all starter decks.

hmm, my characters' name is Ryan Fae, and he is a theater boy. Sooo, either a powerful fairy/light creature as my 'main, or something completely opposite that, like zombies or fiends.
any suggestions?

I'll think about the fae situation. As for myself, I'm going to be running a burn deck which I will probably alter over time. So I need a fire-type staple which can be used in multiple burn decks for an avatar.
My current ideas are, in order that I think they would work
Hello there I'm Eduardo Guerreras' player, and I have no qualms with anything that has been discussed thus far. I had originally hoped to build a dragon or light deck, but in all honesty I'll work with whatever you give me.
As for Eddie's main, I was hoping for White Night Dragon or Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon.
I was going to suggest a Chaos deck. But then I remembered, that deck type has basically been permabanned, except for one or two cards.
However, having a light/dark deck with Chaos Sorcerer seems like it could be really cool.
Chaos sorc and Envoy of the Beginning are still in, and either of those can end a game if the situation is right, so it's still a powerful deck. Also, there are alot of cards that need 1-3 of either light or darkness in the graveyard, and it's easier to make that work when you are working with two types since your graveyard floods more slowly. Chaos is still very workable in other words.

Oh, did Envoy of the Beginning make it back in? Last I checked (Which admittedly would have been around 2010,back when I was doing local tournaments) it was still forbidden.
Maybe just a light/dark that "evolves" into a chaos deck then?

Yep. Still limited to 1, but it should be banned completely.
Also, I say we play in advanced. Otherwise things just get far too broken.

Aye, advanced would be best.
I'll go with Tyler the great warrior as my main selected card(if it's too powerful then I'll go with reaper of the cards), with a preferred theme of....something earth attribute based, not really 100% sure what, though any would be fine(so I'll leave that bit up to the gm)

Okay, forum diving isn't much fun, so would everyone mind reposting your character from the previous thread, along with a brief description, and what you would like their deck/"avatar card" to be
(I'm sure our GM would appreciate it.)
