Beginner Walkthrough - Joining!

Our Rules

Before we get into joining, this is a good time to have a look at our rules!

1. This game is 18+ only, as erotic games are eligible for decks just like any other games.

2. Players are to maintain a basic level of civility. This rule prohibits hate speech, bigotry, threats of violence, spamming, doxxing, trauma dumping, and any other harmful or disruptive behavior unspecified here.

3. Anti-ship discourse is prohibited. This refers to discourse speculating on the IRL morality of someone who likes a 'problematic' fictional relationship or character.

4. Players are required to always have these things in a publicly viewable space, in whatever format the player chooses:

• link back to GGtcg


• the player's name, level, and number of masteries


• the player's cards and other inventory


• an activity log


• a DW post where players can ask you for trades

5. Players must update at least once every three months to be considered active. After three months of inactivity, a player will be moved to the Inactive list. There is no penalty for falling inactive. A player may return at any time, and resume exactly where they left off, provided they still have all their records! If you have fallen inactive and would like to be moved to the active list again, let us know here!

6. Players can update their own status if they will be on hiatus! Please go to your account settings and change your status to Hiatus or Active as needed.

7. Players and mods are to be truthful about cards obtained, handed out, traded, etc.

8. This is not a spoiler-free space. Spoilers may be present in deck names and deck images. However, in discussion spaces, players should hide spoilers for games less than 1 year old.

Making your card post and activity log

Before you can join, you need to get your card post ready! A card post is where you display your cards, your inventory, and other important information. In the beginning, it will be enough to separate cards you are collecting from cards you are willing to trade away, but as you gain more cards, you will probably find it useful to separate your card post into multiple posts for ease of organization. You can check out existing player card posts for examples!

You'll also need an activity log! This is where you track everything that enters and leaves your inventory, cards included.

As you read above, we require certain criteria for your card post to be considered valid. Here they are again, in a little more detail:

• a link back to GG tcg, so others can find the game!
  
• your name, number of masteries, and level (you start at level 1!)
  
• a place to display your cards (separated into cards you are collecting and cards you are willing to trade)
  
• a place for your other inventory items (emblems, vouchers, Player Profile Cards, Trade Trackers, and Constellation Cards)
  
• a link to your activity log if it is separate from your card post

The easiest way to host your cards is to make a Dreamwidth post for them! And we've got templates for you right here! These templates come with a space for everything you need in your card post! Just fill in your own information where necessary and keep the link to your card post handy for joining.

We've got a template for your activity log, too!
