A tentative return..

Post by Gavin_Thrace »

Hail! I am a former denizen of the RDI chat rooms starting from around ‘94? ’95? I was rather knew to online RPGs, especially the loathsome task of TYPING out coherent scenes, and learning how to riff off others creativity without rudely moding my way into being ignored as rude or delinquent. (😅🤣)

My dates might be wrong, but I dueled in the halls and Gondar was apparently cresting through his character’s conflicts with the Barony and other such intriguing tension that I was too young to really appreciate at the time.

I’m still in awe that I’ve actually found this community ALIVE! Thriving! And I am hoping to wade into the scene, without being irksome or as lippy as I was just an angry mess of teenager that enjoyed vulgar acts of provocation and conflict, in game, and out of character.

I can still remember many of the moves and countermoves from dueling. If anyone could point me to a chart? Legend? What have you? I know better than to ask anyone for a cheat sheet on the dueling Matrix, (unless that’s changed? 😅 I’m getting the nerve to check out the Discord, however I wanna soak in the nostalgia of the most unique gaming experience that cannot be compressed or commercialized into a fracking app. 🙄

Hey, welcome back!

The matrix isn't a guarded secret like it was back in the days. You can find them for all the sports here: https://www.duelingzone.org/dz/tools/

There's also some practice games to knock the rust off: https://www.duelingzone.org/dz/games/index.php

No pressure to hop into Discord and play whenever you want! Or you can lurk and chat OOC. We're all pretty chill and everyone is helpful, so don't be afraid to come and chat!
