Jumpchain CYOA Thread #2001: A Space Odyssey Edition

Yep.

Kenichi the Mightiest Disciple is pretty great if you don't mind hell training. It's a martial arts focused setting and for the Jump where you're given a master to train you (or you can buy into having one of the strongest people in the setting to take you on).

Lots of different things to enable martial arts or training them, impressive martial art displays by Masters, pretty good items. The series is fun too if you can ignore the sometimes excessive fanservice and Kenichi being a weirdo.

Worm.

I thought we pretty much had everything for that? Or did someone pick up Abyssals/3e stuff?

Warhammer 60 million BC, Necrons. I believe in you Wormanon.

In the Fate jumps, did you stick with what's expected for your class? Or did you went as a magic casting Saber sniping people with your spaceship?

I went with changed my class name to Archangel. Seeing Rins face when I told her my name was Azrael was fucking glorious.

A few days ago someone mentioned taking up Uber.
Which is a WW2 story where Germans got there hands on superscience that turns people into giant bulletproof monsters that can rearrange matter around them.

Since I'm thinking about it and rereading it, how do you think an average Hercules Method Student would fare in a 1v1 against a V2 Battleship-class Panzermensch?
I think Students might actually be faster, stronger and have better senses and healing, along with their meat vision and battle precog, but Panzers are so goddamned tough and have the Halo effect, even if they can't fight for all that long and recuperate slowly.
My guess is that they'd be stalemated until either the Panzer was exhausted or got a lucky hit on the Student.

What are the best jumps based on literature? I'm a little tired of anime, comics, and vidya.

I've already done a few builds for Dune, Dresden Files, and Discworld.

Reminder that Martha practices a martial art hyped to be descended from Jacob's feat of wrestling with angels.

I'd like to recommend Lord of Light, The Polity, Dragonlance and The Wheel of Time.

...in hindsight I kinda wish we'd done more for the Discworld jump.
