A Bizarre New World: A JoJo's Bizarre Adventure RPG Sign Up & Discussion Thread

I could go with detachable parts for the puppet, or just have it be foldable. The puppet has to be life size for Boris' ventriloquist act to work. Roughly a good feet taller than him would do.

[Yun Lao]

Yun may need to confirm this, but I don't think Stands manifest until the game starts.

Until then, just how would Boris be transporting that thing?

Like Gen said, save for one particular exception, the cast's stands have yet to fully manifest. As of the game's start, everyone has the typical symptoms of paranoia and the sense of being watched associated with post Night-Fever conditions but nothing else.

[bruceleegreyhulk]

I stated in Boris' Bio, how he carries his puppet around. The puppet has detachable parts , and he carries it around in a roller suitcase.

Giving Froggy a few days to get his character sheet going, so game start should be this weekend/early next week.

[Froggy]

For you Froggy, I can make some space.

Cool beans, character should be done by later tonight or tomorrow, I got an idea

Whoa, fancy seeing you here.

How've you been?

ive been alright, working hard to mold the youth in the best way I can. How you been?

It's that time once again, I'm formally announcing my departure from the game. As is customary, after the initial surge of interest in designing the character I have realised I have no interest in actually playing.

Best of luck everyone, hope you all have a grand old time.

[Froggy]

Because of Christmas and Froggy still needing to finish his character, the game will start on the evening of the 28th

[Noldere]

Here's a question for everyone (well, more for the GM than anyone else at the moment as it's not clear how secret the invite to Father Joestar's will reading was):

Given the lads at KnS's... protectiveness of their prime client, what would the best background check money can buy reveal about you?

If I can get a character in order would it still be possible for me to participate?

Depends on a lot of variables, the most important being how much of a presence they have on the restoration of the internet (again, there is still a lot of public distrust when it comes to integrating with technology), and if they live in a matter where private investigators would be able to monitor them effectively.

Now if you're talking about Johannes, then you're going to very disappointed in how much money you've wasted as the man wasn't really subtle when it came to what he did. While the public at large knows just how prolific of a playboy he had been, it is relatively old news considering he had stopped around the same time the youngest of the PCs was born. The only mysteries the man did leave behind was who his children were (this topic has been approached several times with the whole inheritance deal being the latest, but save for this latest one, it's always ended with a cold trail) and the details of his last project.

When it comes to the secrecy of the invitation, then the public does know that there is one and there has and will be those claiming relations, but nothing of note has been claimed prior to the game's start.

[Yun Lao]

Yeah, if you can knock it out before then, then you're more than welcomed to join.

[Siriel]

Thanks, fortunately Christmas is cancelled so I should have plenty of time!

[Yun Lao]

No problems. Look forward to seeing what you bring to the table.

And I suddenly had an incredibly stupid idea involving a BNW version of Foo Fighter where she's the result of Johannes somehow managing to impregnate a colony of sentient zooplankton, which resulted in their "child", a colony of zooplankton that can rapidly rejuvenate damaged parts and merge together into a human at will. Which allows for her to be horribly maimed and dismembered in fights without killing her as she can just put herself back together. The colony of human/zooplankton hybrid does get a Stand.

Like I said, it's incredibly stupid.
