#card hell

pokemon may have more interesting illustrations and rare cards in their tcg and better rewards for competitive players and a more comprehensible game but they don’t have cupsy yummy. so.

thinking about a concept i would have to call "card game apocalypse world" which is just a version of the world where duel masters and yugioh r taking place in the same world. concurrently more or less. genuine hellscape I think like really really bad. so many people are dying

It took me until a friend pointed it out but Duelmasters IS unexpectedly dark/violent for the target audience it is for. I’m so numb to cardgame violence. This is normal to me however Yugioh is a shonen and Duelmasters is for elementary school children and they’re at fairly comparable levels of violence and murder and kill. The experience is not unwelcome but it does make it jarring when the humour pops up and THAT is glaringly aimed for little boy’s hash tag Corocoro comix gags

had my first "why are we talking about Mai rn" moment with the duelmasters lads (protag's mom is named Mai. and I am a visitor from the duelmonsters)
