fatherboxx posted:I thought Jojo had nothing else to amaze me with but then SBR dropped a Brewster's Millions-based stand on me. Unfortunately, I have to agree. It's still one of the best parts for characters and writing, and the stands owned, but I'm seriously having a hard time remembering a lot of the ways the battles were won. Plus "spin" was even more magical only-occasionally-consistent than "ripple", somehow.

I love that they notice all the characters in the first line have a whole bunch of Jo's in them but they don't realize that's because they're all JoJos.

That reminds me of this article. http://kotaku.com/5945151/run-over-people-with-cars-in-jojos-bizarre-adventure quote:JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle unleashes manga-inspired attacks, such as running over people with cars.

I have no idea how many of you guys are tabletop/pen and paper players, but I've been working on a JoJo RPG for the past week or so. I'm just testing it to make sure Stands aren't broken (in the bad way) and then I'll see if there's interest in a playtest or something.

Playing with a lore/world set I'm already familiar with might make that easier.

The Shadowrun 5E summon rules are really reminiscent of stands.

I don't see how the Time stop stands won't be completely broken. You just have to get within a few feet of someone, stop time, kill them.

Someone posted a FATE edit for JoJo a while ago in this thread, lemme find it. e: Here it is! Thanks to the Mighty Dicktron for making it. I'm planning on running a campaign with it, the aspect system seems pretty fitting for JoJo.

amuayse posted:I just started Jojolion. Kinda. It kinda becomes hard for him to be socially awkward when there are people trying to kill him all over the place (of course, that doesn't mean it goes away, but there are more important issues. Besides, some other characters are even worse at being creepy goons)

It was better when the series was focused on hot teen jugs instead of this mystery imo.

Which series was considered the best, incidentally? I'm rather fond of Diamond is Unbreakable myself. All of the characters in it are pretty great, even Kira, though he's disturbing as hell.

Stardust Crusaders is by far the most popular, and what people remember when they think of Jojo. Though my favorite is Diamond is Unbreakable too.

Nowadays, a lot of the tropes it introduced have become played out, but it was a nice breath of fresh air to the genre at the time. The fan favorites amongst Western fans are Steel Ball Run and Diamond is Unbreakable, while the Japanese like Vento Aureo a lot.

Yeah I'm another Diamond is Unbreakable fanboy. I feel like I would have enjoyed Stardust Crusaders alot more if I read it like a decade ago, too much anime and manga has taken stuff from it that it just didn't feel particularly groundbreaking reading it nowadays. It's still good though.

SunAndSpring posted:The fan favorites amongst Western fans are Steel Ball Run and Diamond is Unbreakable, while the Japanese like Vento Aureo a lot. The fangirls do at least. Pretty boys will win you a lot of fujoshi clout, but it's usually all about Part 3 otherwise. But around here it tends to be Parts 4 and 7. 7 is generally considered to be the most solidly written JoJo, but I've always preferred 4 because I think JoJo functions better as a setting than for plot.

I think we can all agree that, while Part 6 isn't the best Jojo, it does contain the best Jojo.

It's still good though. No JoJo arc is bad, which is really amazing considering Araki has been at this for almost three decades. And I think what adds to the charm of Diamond is Unbreakable is the Duwang translation that was the only one available for a while. It's so weird how everything can be so grammatically broken and yet still manage to retain the personality of the characters in the process.

I really like part 7 for really good character writing and an actually well written friendship between two male characters. Also for being a really nice breath of fresh air after how complicated part 6's stands were. Part 4 is totally great though and a really close second in my book.

7 was really good, I felt some parts of the ending were Araki being mean for no reason, though. Lol, that kid Gyro was trying to help didn't get executed but he died of a cold shortly after. Owned.

Should've guessed. Anyway, I like parts 7, 4, and 2 the most. 8 is shaping up to be nice, although I'm dying having to wait a month for each issue after having binged my way through the rest of the series.

Doesn't Mage: the Awakening pretty much work as a JoJo game with a little houseruling?

I actually always liked that little stinger at the end because I felt is summed up the whole journey well. Terrible things happen to good people, but it is important to keep moving forward and to grow from it. I'll agree with you that it is a downer, for sure though.
