So I'm most of the way through Part 3 now. It's sure something.

But, mostly I came to say, Iggy :(

e: Also, is Ripple just straight up not A Thing anymore after Battle Tendency?

Now I have completely finished Part 3, and I come to a crossroads.
Do I read Part 4 in English, or DUWANG? (Probably English)

I really love Spin. Ripple is fine, but Spin is so JoJo in that it's a simple concept taken to insane extremes in practice.

I'll look forward to it. I can't think of anything I've read or watched that's quite like this.
Right now I just learned about the Stand Arrows. I had to ask my monitor what the poo poo it was showing me for a few seconds.

I think it could go a bit longer. All the fights went really quickly and some could stand to be fleshed out a bit more.

I heard that Vento Aureo is not a good part, but I'm 10 or so chapters in and it's still great.

Is there a point where it stops being great?

I would've been perfectly happy if it was just Mista and Bruno.

Also, Stone Free is so much cooler than Gold Experience.

I could've sworn that an interview with Araki a couple pages back said that they aren't the same universe.

e: Yeah, he said this: "The town of Morio-cho appears in Parts 4 and 8, but they're in parallel worlds, so they aren't linked in time or space."

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.

Not going to lie, I'm reading Part 5 now and I'm not really getting into it. Moody Blues and some other Stand that deflates people just got introduced.

Does it pick up later, at least?

I definitely think 5 is worth finishing, though I think Bruno is one of the coolest main characters out of all of them. There are also some really cool fights right before the final boss.

But yeah, it would depend heavily on the creativity of the DM and to a lesser extent the players. Araki probably spends all day every day thinking up weird poo poo; it would be harder to do on the fly, especially for us mortals.

If I were running it, I would have a player come up with 4 character concepts, roll one for them to use, and the rest can be possible bosses.
