My dad is from Sheep's Head Bay, but back in the 50s the whole borough was either Jewish decendend (German, Polish, etc.) or Russian non-Jewish. Crown Heights does sound familiar though. I've heard one half is Hasidim, or Orthedox, while the other is non-Jewish. I'm Conservative.

Yeah, in general stuff like Kaiba's BEWDs, the God Cards, the Five Dragons etc. That's good. Just checking, even Vanguard has a few cards you need to be careful around, namely Blaster Blade and Alfred. I'll just treat this RPG as seperate canon and make nothing restricted that way.

Sounds good so far, just need name for the RPG and a character. I assume you'll be joining if I get this up?

As for Murmur, sounds good, I'll put it in.

Hm, well considering how much I like Vanguard, perhaps the tourney arc-type would be a good idea, but then I have the problem of where I put everyone and how many per team and everything... hm. As for supernatural, problem with going there is we then enter 'why are they using card games?' territory... which to be fair will always be a problem.

I quite like the application of the tournament plot. I can probably bleed in the supernatural that way if I go there, ala Vanguard, which would help things start out fairly goofy and get more serious later. I think I'll go Legend Champion Victory-esque and then gradually go over to main-series type with the sort of supernatural elements we get there.

That sounds good. Any thoughts on possible flaws there? And are there any sort of canon-restricted cards I should know about?

Hey there. I'm making vague plans in my head for a Duel Masters RPG, but since right now I'm still quite not-very-informed with how stuff works, I'm not quite sure how to go about a plot? Should I go for the supernatural stuff, or keep it mundane? Tournament RPG? Big villain threat of doom? Collision of the human world and the Duel Masters world? Yeah. Ideas. Confusion for me.

Think you could help me brainstorm up a decent plot? I work better when I have someone to bounce ideas from, and since I hear you're the resident Duel Masters expert, I figured you'd be the best person to ask.

Already had half of the Knight stuff, and half the Samurai stuff. I'll have to eschew Nebula Wing on the Samurai end, I'm trying to keep the Civilizations clean-cut with the Decks to make my life a bit easier when writing the games and not having to pull contrived draws to make the Mana work right with the cards. Tri-Civilization is probably as far as I'll go unless I want to give Rainbow a try.

Heh, Super Spark looks neat. I'll do some work with that. As for Bloody Shadow, I'll work on that. I've got Glory Gate, Gregorias, Maximillian and Arcadia Egg, while for Samurai I had Infinity 'Hidden Blade' and Bolshack Yamato. If I'm putting in Super Spark, I've move out Magic Shot - Chain Spark for that, and Bullet Vice for Dark Soul Creation. Out of interest, why Murmur?

And on the Samurai front, I'll edge out something non-Dragon/Fire Bird for Cocco Lupia. I do not know how I missed that card...

Well, from spending five days rewatching some episodes of Duel Masters, running over the rules on the Wiki, and plotting out fanfic details, I've more-or-less recaptured my DM knowledge from all the years without it. I've been laying out character Decks, with a few pretty fun comboes. The fanfic's main runs Knights, basically a Light/Dark/Water hybrid Deck.

The Lancer-type is the XX guy I mentioned, but his Deck's been changed to one based around the 'Ken' evolutions, the ones which go from Ken, Crimson Lord ~Journey's Beginning~ to Ken Geki, Absolute Ruler ~Final Flare~. Found them, thought they're cool and all.

The main's rival, to contrast the Knights, runs Samurai, a Fire/Nature hybrid. Plenty of Dragons, Bolmeteus 'Kensei', Bolshack Yamato... the works.

The Lancer's rival is quite fun for comboes. He runs a defense-oriented White Knight Deck. He essentially combines lots of Blockers with Lightning Five Star, Heavenly Luck Awakened. Blockers which win every battle.

I'll read it now, I was afraid I would sound too harsh or rude since english is not my native language lol

Hello ^-^ How are you? :D Can I know where do you found the image of your avatar :x3: It' sreally cool the image black&white of VJump Wall !!!

You know there is a colored version of that avatar you have there from the previous month VJump?

But from what I see, the only Psychic Evolution Creature is Storm Genji XX. Heh. You'd use the stronger to call out the weaker. Fun. But yeah. As for Diabolos, which one? Annihilation Awakened or Evil Awakened? There's two, Diabolos Zeta, Annihilation Awakened, and Devil Diabolos Zeta, Evil Awakened.

I can't honestly see anyone giving up Last Storm for Storm Genji XX, heh. But yeah. I get the point though. But yeah, I'm working on cards, I've started looking at the Hyperspacial Spells to choose which ones I'll go with. Out of interest, if a Creature has multiple Civilizations and it's a Psychic Creature, I can still summon it with, say, Hyperspacial Bolshack Hole if it's Fire/Darkness. One of the XX Psychics, Storm XX Temporal Storm, is Fire/Darkness Civilization. And its flip-upgrade, Storm Kaiser XX the Awakened Kamikaze, is pure Fire Civilization. Huh. Does that happen quite a bit with Psychic Creatures? I've been focusing on the Fire ones and I've seen a few like that.

Looking over the Fire Birds and such, I've found some useful ones. Chai Aini, Eagle Aini, the Explosive Wing, Chain Aini XX, Reppi SP Aini, Reppi Aini, Shobu Aini and Galaxy Cross Aini, Sky Dragonmech. Neat cards and all of them work well with the Psychic Theme I'm going for.

Ah, right. I'll give those a look.S

So essentially, you only pay Mana when you Summon a Creature, activate a Spell, generate Cross Gears or Fortify Shields? And Psychic Creature Awakening is free? Ah. Okay. That makes sense to me now. If Awakened Psychic Creatures cost nothing, why do they have a Cost then? Do all cards just have to have one? But yeah, this makes more sense now. Thanks.

Don't you have to tap Mana when you flip a Psychic Creature, then? And what about Storm Genji Double Cross' Super Infinite Evolution, don't you tap Mana for that? I knew about the Hyperspatial Spells, but you can't use them to summon Psychic Creatures with Costs higher than 10 at best. I'm confused. Been out of this game a long while. As for the Deck advice, I wasn't necessarily going straight for them because of Last Storm. I just like the cards as a whole, not just Last Storm. Any advice on non-Double Cross cards to include if I were going pure Fire Civilization?

Heh, I know. It is pretty awesome for me since now I'm rediscovering it. I remember playing it when I was younger a lot better now.

I kinda guessed Awesome But Impractical for Last Storm XX considering it has a cost of forty. How do you even get that?! That's your entire Deck unless you run more than minimum! But I do like the Double Cross cards. Any advice on building a Deck with them for a fanfic, like other cards to add outside the group and such? Now I need to look up more cards. It's been a long while. I think we were in Set 4 when I lost Duel Masters here where I live. Thirty-five sets and god-knows-how-many decks and promos since then...

Heh, yeah. I can see why considering the Civilizations are Expies of the Magic colors and all.

Urgh, I know the first type. I've come across a few types like that in other games online. Looking at the Banlist, that looks fine. Nothing on there looks like it's something I'd be thinking of using anyway. But yeah, it's annoying when you come across people who don't follow the rules and lose it when you point out that they're breaking them.

I hope I get the latter.

Heh, I wouldn't know. Never played it, but from what you say, I might not enjoy it all that much.

Heh, I like them. I'm already considering a DM fanfic, and if I get to it, one of the mains is so running a Fire Deck based around those neat Double Cross cards. Strongest creature in the game FTW... though I'm guessing Last Storm Double Cross, the Super Awakened comes under Awesome But Impractical, heh? Nice to see a fellow troper!

Does Trade Cards Online go up to the latest set? I want to try out using the Double Cross cards in a Deck, they look pretty neat for Psychic Creatures. Again, strongest card in the game FTW. Heh, what's life without self-advertising?

Ah. That's a pity, I really liked Duel Masters while it was over here. Though to be fair I have never once tried Magic: the Gathering... because no shop anywhere near me stocks it. I'm not sure if that's good or not. But I hear Duel Masters is still going in Japan?

Man some of these new cards are insane. Psychic Creatures? That is one cool concept Duel Masters has going for it. I may just go back into this game alongside Vanguard. Pity the cards aren't out over here anymore, and I gather there's no online thing I can use to play like I do with Vanguard?

Hey. I have a question, since I used to really be into Duel Masters when it was on TV over here (I remember when I had the cards, actually). What was the fail Wizards of the Coast did with marketing it? I've asked Scarlet Weather, but he essentially pushed me in your direction and... yeah.

I've also been looking up cards on the Wiki. Man this game is huge. Might get back into it if I can. Ever since YGO died on me, all I've really had is Vanguard...

PLease direct me to Janime's manga section for download

I think you of all people will be happy to know that I've gotten an addiction of sorts to drawing motorcycles...
