Based on the TTRPG, immerse yourself in a system made to replicate the over-the-top stakes card game anime like YGO. Create a character with unique, custom cards and duel!

Disclaimer:

There is A LOT of reading to be had. Comical levels. The rules are laid out across multiple starting messages. I am not forcing you to read them, but I am (begging) recommending that you at least skim the parts that stand out to you and work with a sheet that has one of the classes/playbooks you like.

Background:

Following the discovery of ancient card gaming about ten years ago, the world had a paradigm shift when it came to cards and their power. No more were the days of expansive, separate brand-owned card games where one could only battle another if they subscribed to the same titles. These bygone rules from the Athens, now successfully implemented, brought into the spotlight a card game that was so inherently cross-compatible that it put everything else to shame, garnering a world-wide phenomenon.

In the heart of it all: Shuffle City.

People, across many different age groups, now held their battle disks close, and their cards closer. Whether you were a college student at Shuffle City University stuck in a Card Design course, a business man working in the 80-story skyscraper that was Dimensional Mechanics Central Tower, a lowlife plotting beneath the city's hub port Mulligan Shipyard.

Your cards aren't just cards, they are an extension of yourself and everything that you are. It doesn't matter if you're an amateur designer who only knows enough to make rinky-dink cards for yourself, a talented and world-wide card maker who only makes masterpieces, or just a person who bought a few packs at a bodega across the street. As long as you have your deck with you, you have a shot against anything: Five-time tournament winners, a hoodlum, or a world-ending calamity. This game is much more than meets the eye...

Extra:

Obligatory 'I am not sponsored by these people' and 'I have zero affiliation with them'. However, if you wish to actually play the TTRPG (and maybe invite me... please?), the link to the store page is right here. The rules I laid out here are noticeably lighter than the full book (I got stuff from the Demo Kit), so obviously this bot does not have 200+ pages of knowledge, but it should be more than enough to do most things as long as the pieces are in place. I had no hand in the setting and characters you may come across. During duels, the bot might explain what NPC actions it's taking, I wasn't sure whether to keep it or not since it does technically help keep track of what actions it's taken. If you're not a fan of that, try telling it to shut up about it. Another thing, while the rolls should be true RNG, the cards you draw might not. Hopefully, it shouldn't make a big difference given the starting deck size, but it's something to keep in mind. The written starting scenario takes place in winter, hence winter-themed, hence thank you for the badge~

hi

Miss me? Question mark, exclamation point, heart emoji.

I'm not back back. In fact, I'm likely even more swamped than before. I only be making this bot because I keep getting teased by my so-called friends that we're going to play this system... only for them to hand off actually hosting the game to me. HELL NO. In my heart, I am a player. Just let me have my cool deck and stuff, I don't wanna make villains and shit! So, where does that leave me? That's right, making something for myself so that I can actually fulfil my fantasies. (Pretty much what I do already)

Can this count as my 52 follower special? I'm not going to put it to a vote. I am the ultimate decider of this, you subscribed to my ramblings and iron fist tyranny. Yeah, this is my 52 follower special bot. Mhm. |Cue card telling you all to applaud| YAY!

Also... don't say it, I already know it. "Why tf is a whole ass TTRPG bot LESS tokens than the Spring Cultivation bot?" Dawg, I don't get it either! THIS IS THE UNOPTIMIZED BOT IN COMPARISON! Ugh...

Okay, so before I sign off or whatever for the next few months or idk, if there are any of you who chatted with the bot and had some card designs you wanted to share, I would love to see some in the comments. And, uh, stupid idea here, what if I just made a version of this with all the PM Lorebooks? That's a hypothetical. Don't quote me on that. Speaking of PM, no, I'm probably not going to make anything Canto 9 related or update stuff regarding it. I haven't even touched it yet.

Going back to Umamusume now, hoping I get Tamamo Cross in the first pull in the future. Bye bye!

(Edit but not really since I haven't even posted this yet: While trying to get this bot out, I had an older tab opened of JAI on my phone and accidentally updated it into a version of itself from days ago. Thankfully I had a PC tab that I was able to recover and an old chat, but damage control was hard, about 100~ tokens have gone missing and I had to rewrite the scenario. PLEASE ADD A BOT UPDATE HISTORY, JAI!)
