Eidolon, Become your Best self!
Ok so, quick note: if this game sounds interesting to you, the version on Itch is 1e, it is much more traditional than the version I will be describing using traditional dice and the like, the 2e version, what we will be talking about, is up on their patreon for a price lower than the itch version, got it? cool
Gee, Jojo, that sure was a Bizarre Adventure we Stardust Crusaders went in
Genre: Shonen, Fantasy
Touchstones: Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, The Persona Franchise
What is this game?: Eidolon is a game about super-powered individuals fighting using powers that are as bizarre as they are strong
How's the gameplay?: Eidolon (2E) uses a system of tarot cards instead of dice to roll for anything, characters draw cards equal to their relevant stat in the roll, then choose one out of the cards drawn, each card has a Forecast and a Polarity, Forecast gives you a rough vibe on what's gonna happen if you play it, and Polarity tells you if its negative or positive, for example "The Magician" is a Positive Card, and its forecast is "You achieve the impossible"! Characters may also choose a Resonant and a Dissonant card, both must be Neutral cards, Resonants and Dissonants do not have forecasts, instead having a unique effect based on the character's playbook, not only that but if you draw a dissonant, you MUST play it. Now for the fun part: Eidolon creation, each playbook has a template for how to create your eidolon, for example the alchemist's template says "My eidolon can turn any blank it touches into blank", those two blanks can be replaced by literally anything you'd like! Get creative!
What's the setting (If any) like?: Eidolon's setting is entirely generic, however the world requires a few universal constants, specifically the Undertow (a supernatural underworld that form the foundations of the universe) and Eidolons themselves
What's the tone?: Chosen by setting!
Session length: 2-3 hours, drawing cards is a bit slower than rolling die
Number of Players: I think you should keep the number of players low, 4 players including the GM
Malleability: You could theoretically run any setting in this
Resources: An online character sheet is available, you may use your own personal tarot deck if you wish
