There are several homebrew JoJo games.

Here's one

>>49417004
Isn't there a thread on here which regularly make custom Stands and other things?

>>49417132
Yeah, Super Stand Saturday

Stay in your containment thread. Or better yet, just stop spamming your shit series at every available opportunity.

> shit series
There's no helping your shit taste, anon.

Gonna get some flak for this, but...

Pathfinder had the synthesist summoner that wears a translucent summoned creature in combat like power armor.

When fused with their Eidolon, a synthesist gets all it's natural attacks and physical stats, while still being able to use their other class abilities (spell casting with somatic components requires the eidolon to have hands of course).

Cross-classing gives a wider range of abilities the synthesist can use while fused.

If you want to make it straight up JoJo, you'd only need a minimal amount of rule changes.

For example, make class abilities a function of the Eidolon instead of the player character, so they have to fight with it.

Normally an Eidolon dies and is sent back to its home plane when it's HP reaches 0 for a synthesist. If you have the Eidolon and player characters starting a health pool, then you're back on target.

As for forcing a power theme, most players will impose this on themselves (eg: I'm an evocation wizard. My specialty is fire, and catching EVERYTHING on fire)

>>49417803
Holy fuck, NO. JoJo takes place in modern times so even if there's a Pathfinder build that fits the concept of a stand, Pathfinder would be god awful to use outside of its own setting.

>>49417893
While you are correct...

>takes place in modern times

JoJo is TIMELESS, you fool! Whether it's stand battles in the crusades, on space colonies in the distant future, or in the 80s, JoJo is still JoJo. You can run a campaign of JJBA in any time period!

>>49417923
But not in a fantasy world. There has to be some grounding to actually make the cast stand out from the world.

>>49417417
>i like dumb fags

It's too bad being either stupid or gay aren't crimes in your country, because you are one dumb fag who enjoys one hell of a dumb fag series.

>>49417935
I never said anything about a fantasy world. You specifically specified "modern times", not "earth."

>>49417803
>When fused with their Eidolon, a synthesist gets all it's natural attacks and physical stats
That would completely defeat the point of stand combat.

The stand itself is powerful, but the user is a completely normal human.

>>49417893
>>49417923
>>49417935

Keep in mind that most of, if not all the rulebooks are for enemy/player building primarily. And if you attach all abilities to the Eidolon, the setting could very well be anything.

If the stand is the only thing swinging swords and slinging spells, it's pretty much spot on.

>>49417964
Then I guess regular summoner may be the better starting point for the suggested changes, as the Eidolon would be a separate entity.

Sharing the hit points and having the eidolon be the source if all class abilities would still be necessary though.

But some stand users in the series certainly had stands akin to the synthesist.

One of us has shit taste, and it isn't me.

>>49417955
Hey, buddy, your idiot is showing. You might want to do something about that.

>>49417367
SONO CHI NO SADAME
JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOJO!

>>49417004
I feel like you need mallable systems to do Jojo. This means either something autistically detailed like HERO (okay, possibly GURPS), or something free and narrative like... hmm, I'd personally recommend a refluffed PbtA supers game, Worlds in Peril

Look at the fucking JoJo thread.

>>49418157
If you don't like JoJo, maybe you should, oh, I don't know, filter it and not participate in the thread? I know you're new and kind of special, but surely you have enough brain cells to bang together to figure out filters.

>>49417367
>>49418157
Filters exist for a reason, fuckwit, that way you don't have to be reminded of all the WRONGBADFUN that other people are having and we don't have to hear the ass-pained whining of a four year old who can't wrap their head around the idea of people liking different things.

>>49418243
>>49418423
I'm one of the people helping make a JoJo tabletop. I just think people should look at the catalogue so they don't fill the board with useless threads.

>>49418464
Word it like that, then, not in a way that sounds like "WAAAA, PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING I DON'T LIKE!"

>>49418524
I just told them to look at the thread in a rude manor. Not my fault you assumed I wash trashing the series.

>>49418464
We really don't have that many JoJo threads, usually just /sss/ and one or two "What if [non-JoJo character(s)] had a stand?" or "Stat [JoJo character], /tg/!" threads that aren't even a guaranteed several per day thing.

>>49418547
>Not my fault you assumed I wash trashing the series.
There was no real reason to assume otherwise, just saying.

>>49417367
JoJo fans are like bronies.

>>49418590
You mean daily spam from jojo fags.
Fuck, these guys are so retarded.

>>49418423
Other boards exist for a reason, dipshit. Stop forcing your shit series here.

>>49418648
See >>49418423

>>49418669
How about you stop being a fag? You think your spamming is sneaky or some shit?

>>49418660
JoJo has more fans than quest did. /JJ/ when?

>>49418660
Filters, that way you don't have to see all that awful WRONGBADFUN that upsets you so much. This may be hard for you to believe, but people are allowed to have tastes that differ from yours.

>>49418678
no u

>>49418679
Never, there isn't enough of it to justify its own board. Besides, you know that there'd be more "Your loli futa priestess wants you to gangbang and impregnate her and then sacrifice her to the tentacle rape god so you can save the world, what do? Also, she's a fox-person. NO, THIS ISN'T A FETISH THING, I SWEAR TO GOD!" threads that'd rush in to fill the void. Do you really want that?

>>49418803
Same exact thing quest fans said.

>>49418803
You forgot "She's also a tsundere redeemed succubus."

>>49418822
And unsurprisingly, that kind of thread was then made by butthurt questfags.

>>49418679
Just keep jojo in /a/. Or, at least stop making dumb threads JUST to spam jojo.

Also, having more obnoxious fans does not mean having more fans.

>>49418888
Then they'll bitch about the mention of anything that sounds even remotely RPG related, because roleplaying is for nerds and losers, unlike anime.

>>49418922
They won't, because you guys barely ever actually talk about RPGs here, outside of the few guys in the SSS who are not complete fuckwads like you.

I think Jojo is the dumbest shit ever, but I have respect for the guys who run the SSS because they do their best to keep the discussion in the realm of traditional games, as well as to keep all jojo in that thread.

You jojo spammers, on the other hand, can go fuck off.

>>49417004
That's a pretty trash pic OP

much like jojo bandwagoners

>any board on 4chan shunning Jojo
I don't recognize this place anymore.

>>49417964

Reminder that JoJo human protags are anime protags, and therefore have crazy toughness.

Also, one a vampire's son.

>>49419008
I'm starting to feel that way too. It used to be you could discuss shit without a million people coming in just to scream "Everything you like is the worst thing ever! le dank frog maymay"

>>49418978
Before this there'd got detailed with whining about jojo being on /tg/ it was someone asking what system would be best for a jojo game.

>>49417004
Anima

>>49419038
Tougher than regular people, but it's the stand doing most of the heavy lifting, as opposed to being trained martial artists. Joseph in his prime was probably the closest to being superhuman because he had hamon and a stand.

I would actually argue that the Jojos have gotten progressively weaker physically, culminating in the second most recent one being a literal cripple.
