JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (OVA 1993-2000): Animated adaptation of part 3 that came out in two blocks, the first one covering the second half and the second one covering the first half. Don't watch this, it's bad.

I feel that since Caesar got in, she might as well be a shoe-in too, but I can't really say that since I even doubt Old Joseph is going to be playable despite basically every other human member of the Part 3 group is in the game so far.

Honestly, there's not a huge reason for Old Joseph to be playable if part 2 Joseph is. Hermit Purple is primarily a non-combat stand, and if memory serves he doesn't actually fight anyone in part 3.

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.

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

Agent Interrobang posted:

Having tried Jojo as an M&M game; emphatically no. M&M is way too focused on combat and far too fiddly to really approximate the loose, crazy-rear end feel of Jojo. Marvel Super Heroes/FASERIP or Monsters & Other Childish Things, though, that could work. Mage: The Awakening too. MAYBE Geist if you reskinned, and I mean reskinned it a LOT.

Honestly, I'd have to say a reskinned Mage is the best way to handle it. The caveat, however, is that you would have to throw out every single bit of Mage fluff and you'd have to throw out a lot of mechanics too (Stands don't really cause anything like Paradox, for example, and most of them would only have one or two spells out of a given arcana rather than an entire one to play with). I mean, I know for a fact you can replicate Magician's Red's power set using one Forces 4 spell (Firebolt) and one Forces 3 spell (Control Fire), and you can come pretty close to Hierophant Green with a Mind 4 (Psychic Sword) and a Mind 5 (Possession).

I actually kind of want to run this now. Stand creation would be pretty amusing, since I'd basically be asking my players to pick one or two cool spells and think of a music reference to name it after. :v:

Eh, honestly it's mostly just that Mage spells already sound like Stand powers, so it would be an incredibly easy reskin with a little thought.

For example:

WoD Canon Index, paraphrased posted:

Steal Lifespan, Death 4 - Steal a year from someone's life

Fortune's Fool, Fate 4 - Store failures to inflict on others

Bread Alone, Life 2 - Create edible food from inedible organic matter

Dream Traveler, Mind 4 - Project into target's dreams

Co-Location, Space 4 - Exist in multiple locations simultaneously

Labyrinth, Space 5 - Mutate space freely in an area; "The mage is capable of sculpting bizarre vicissitudes of place and distance through this level of Space, folding space in ways that defy the senses. For example, the horror-movie staple of causing every possible path of egress from a given locale to instead lead back to isolated wilderness is possible. So is making a road that a person can visually confirm leads to the store down the street, but traveling that way actually leads in the opposite direction."

Temporal Stutter, Time 4 - Push target or self forward in time

Time Stop, Time 5 - ZA WARUDO

Temporal Lifeline, Time 5 - Mark a point in time to return to 24 hours later

These, at least the ones that Araki hasn't already used, would pretty much fit perfectly with the canon Stands. Bread Alone as written wouldn't make a good Stand ability, but if you let it work on living things, like people... :getin:

...pretty much the only thing that spoils is that Jotaro survives part 3, though? "Jotaro has a kid at some point" tells you nothing about the plot of Stone Ocean.

e: also, the heroes having kids who go on to be protagonists is literally the central gimmick of JoJo

Not to mention that Jotaro dying in Stardust Crusaders wouldn't end the Joestar bloodline, so it's a bit of a spoiler.

I mean, there's also Josuke and technically Giorno, but as far as anime viewers know neither of those people exist.

Like, I could honestly see the argument for crying spoilers over those two since they kinda come out of left field, but you can pretty easily extrapolate that Jotaro has a kid at some point just from watching up to where we are in pt. 3 and being aware that other parts exist. This is like when people were crying about the figure ads in the first season because Dio was in one of them... in spite of Dio being the villain of Phantom Blood anyways, and the figure version of Dio not even existing in canon.

According to Jorge Joestar, at one point the town of Morioh sprouts legs and walks around. There's also an army of Karses on the moon because, while each universe reset creates a new Kars, it doesn't delete the last one.

If you're still underleveled by the time you get to Strength, just beat up on the hook that killed the sailor. It doesn't go away after you kill it, goes down in one or two hits, and gives 40 XP and 30 gold every time, along with occasionally a healing item.

I interpreted that as Tenmei just being Araki's nickname for him (note how he says it's still officially Noriaki- guess who's the arbiter of what it officially is?), which would mean the Enya bit is still a misdirection.

If Hollywood got a wild hair up its rear end and decided to make real-life JoJo, Dan Stevens would be a fantastic Dio

exhibit A: Dan Stevens as victorian gentleman



exhibit B: Dan Stevens, jacked as hell



they would just have to get him to do both at the same time and have him be as much of a giant smug rear end in a top hat as he was in The Guest and he would be the perfect Dio

SANA DA BITCH! is easily my favorite (the "OOOOOOOH MY GOOOOOOD"s from the Empress fight being a close second) but my phone swearing at me in public whenever someone calls me would probably not play out well. Mulatto Butts from Archer was awkward enough as my ringtone when I had it.
