WIP mod that plans to add 72 Jokers based off the crossovers from the Friends of Jimbo collabs.
Currently working on Jokers from Sets 1 and 2. See google sheet for descriptions of all Jokers. Sets 3 and 4 are lower priority but suggestions are welcome
SET 1 - All concepts done, needs code and art
The Witcher
SET 2 - All concepts done, needs code and art
Cyberpunk 2077
SET 3 - Low priority, needs concepting for all Jokers
SET 4 - Low priority, needs concepting for all Jokers

I know nothing about half of these games so any help is greatly appreciated
i have one for among us
Crewmate (Uncommon) - When sold, defeat a non-boss blind (reference to doing tasks)
Impostor (Rare) - x1 Mult, x0.5 Mult when a card is destroyed; on blind select, create a Eternal Ghost

queen kestrel
lol

Ghost (Common) - -1 Chip; -1 Chips for every card destroyed
queen kestrel
people prob would use this as a money farm rather than actually use it for scaling i do like it lol

I already have a concept for this, one sec
Quite literally a panic button joker
untold oak
EHH
ehh
losing 1 hand is a bit harsh for a rare
perhaps just make the blind a non-boss one
and remove the downside
wind needle
Imposter: 4x mult, destroys leftmost joker every boss blind. Takes the form of a different joker card until bought. (EI: buying Golden joker and getting imposter instead)
(Could be made by just giving it and destroying new joker with a small percent chance)

gimmick is too similar to Spy from cryptid
burnt thistle
It's one of the new cursed jokers
wind needle
Ah alr
burnt thistle
it looks like another joker but gives you x0.5 mult if you take it
dusky vale
magic skin (isaac), spawns an joker on pickup, on sell, it shows up more frequently, repeatable
burnt thistle
Here's what I have currently for the amogus jokers
burnt thistle
Stardew Valley jokers
Everything else is going to be a lot harder due to my lack of knowledge

Vampire Survivors jokers, these are based off of the arcanas from that game

no broken hearts?
dusky vale
no broken hearts?
How would broken hearts work in balatro?
dusky vale
And hand size could go below 1, making you instantly lose 
dry stump
I can help with Isaac
I'd say Mom's Knife, D6 and The polaroid are like the iconic items from Isaac
but for effects I'd have to think about it some more
vague oar

no birthright? 😢
for me personally birthright is probably the most recognizable item
dusky vale
brimstone 🤑
hasty knoll
D6 effect idea: if the first hand of a blind is a high card, randomize the suit, number, edition and enhancement of every played card
dusky vale
what rarity would d6 be? most likely rare
hasty knoll
probably rare yeah
vague oar
that sounds more like d20 than d6 idk
dry stump
I feel d20 would be would be something like randomize the edition, enhancement and seal of the first high card played each blinds
burnt thistle
Update on what I have so far, I reworked the slay the spire jokers and did some general changes elsewhere
novel silo
look all i'm saying is Rock Bottom could be funny to add in this game
wait
idk how that'd work nvm
what are some items that'd translate well to balatro?
steel sandal
Rock bottom could make scalers that can have their effects decrease or reset not decrease / reset
novel silo
finally
we made obelisk good
ofc make this the rare joker
could also affect jokers that are affected by number of enhancements (i.e. steel joker)
steel sandal
That could be cool with stone Joker and vampire

wait
i just realized why this isn't such a good idea
Hit the Road and Campfire
burnt thistle
Sounds like a joker that would fit well in cryptid
Would be absolutely nutty with some of the cryptid jokers
craggy garden
Tboi i imagine could have Bosses as references to the game, but i dunno, thinking it needs brimstone as its so iconic it got a gfuel flavor based off of it
burnt thistle
For isaac items, here is the list I have narrowed it down to
D6 and D20 are interchangable
Member Card: shops randomly have 1-3 additional items
R Key: Set ante to 1, self destructs
D6/D20: allows booster packs/vouchers to be rerolled every 2nd/5th reroll per shop
Steam Sale: All items cost 50% less
Rock Bottom: prevents food jokers, green joker, etc from having decreasing effects over time
Birthright: gives a special effect depending on which deck you are using
I like the idea of having birthright copy the effect that deck sleeves does when you double up on one deck
R key is absurdly powerful so it can go
burnt thistle
Locking in this
dusky vale
rock bottom might be an issue
burnt thistle
as in balance or coding issues?
dusky vale
balacne
burnt thistle
fair
dusky vale
maybe mom kniofe, like cerimonial dagger but other way, or maybe consumables
novel silo
Binge Eater
Food Jokers appear more frequently, and can take the place of regular jokers.
Gain X1.5 mult when a food joker is eaten.
also i feel like The D6's effect better suits Restock
burnt thistle
How about this for restock
When purchasing a Booster Pack or Voucher, replenish it with another that costs more
formula would be same as restock, base price + 2 + # of times restock is used for that item that shop
voucher could probably scale in cost faster
revised list
dusky vale
coolio
burnt thistle
I'll start making the birthright effects
novel silo
Pitch for Green Deck;
"INTEREST IS BACK!!!! !"
austere rampart
Rock Bottom could be an interesting thing to use to counteract debuffs from other cards
like you can't go below 1 hand or 1 discard
burnt thistle
dusky vale
2 things, checkered deck is negative jokers? and plasma is like so powerful
like sooooo powerful
dusky vale
plasma + birthright + stuntman scores 175175 chips
dusky vale
any other effect for plasma?
im not sure

I had this same concept in the Suggestions thread, so might as well add my suggestions.
Witcher (Based on Gwent cards to make it easy):
Dave the Diver:
Cyberpunk 2077:
Probably needs to be adjusted for balance, but there's a start
burnt thistle
I had this same concept in the Suggestions thread, so might as well add my sugge...
Here's my initial thoughts
Decoy sounds very situational and only useful with dagger, in which case it becomes extremely powerful for a common
Cow is also busted for the same reason
Dandelion is a worse hiker
Norimaki sounds very interesting, good idea
Sharktooth Necklace is also a great idea, though I would change bonus cards to add chips instead of mult
Clownfish sounds very underpowered, negatives are still only 1.5% chance of appearing with the buff
Headhunter is very powerful for a common, I would change it to have to play/discard that rank in order to destroy it
Optics is very niche and entirely reliant on getting the right boss blind
Sandevistan is good, not much else to say
All in all I like the ideas, I appreciate the suggestions
peak beacon
No prob. Half of them were spur of the moment ideas so yeah just consider it some inspiration
burnt thistle
I'll put the ones I like on the sheet with credit
lofty nymph
what does concatenated mean
burnt thistle
what does concatenated mean
instead of 123x456 it would be 123456
iirc a cryptid joker was going to use it but idk what happened to it
burnt thistle
very silly but also stupid powerful
lofty nymph
i love this lol
burnt thistle
made a github page https://github.com/NinjaBanana1/Friends-of-Jokers
burnt thistle
I had this same concept in the Suggestions thread, so might as well add my sugge...
I looked through all the Gwent cards for the witcher jokers and here's what I came up with for the lineup
burnt thistle
Also buffed and reworked some of the birthright effects
burnt thistle
I'm nearly ready to start coding these, that will be an experience (I've never coded in lua before)
burnt thistle
Did some research for cyberpunk and here's what I want to do for the uncommon
Ripperdoc (Uncommon)
Played cards have a 1 in 2 chance to gain a random enhancement when scored
Based on this (ew fandom wiki but its the best I have)
https://cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Ripperdoc
lofty nymph
i was about to say 1/2 was a bit too common but with random enhancements, it sounds about right
can it change enhancements of already enhanced cards?
burnt thistle
I like the idea of it overriding enhancements
burnt thistle
Likely keeping headhunter as the common, might want to do something else for the rare
burnt thistle
heavily reworked norimaki to make it more in line with the dave the diver equivalent, renamed sharktooth necklace to eco gemstone bracelet for the same reason
also updating the github page to have all the descriptions
burnt thistle
readme page is complete :)
https://github.com/NinjaBanana1/Friends-of-Jokers/tree/main
also changed sandevistan to a skip joker that resets if you don't keep skipping
I will stop procrastinating on starting to code these Soon™️
burnt thistle
Friends of Jokers (WIP, need help with code/art)
burnt thistle
Welp. Looks like we need double the jokers now
Ok first priority right now is to work on sets 1 and 2 before working on set 3
lofty nymph
yeah that's definitely true
btw if you want help with art i can see what i can do for ya
burnt thistle
That would be amazing
github page has all the current joker descriptions, though I might change headhunter since it's really similar to Go Fish from extra credit
Might change it to be more like idol
torn gyro
Ah damn
burnt thistle
friends of jimbo 3 is low priority rn
I want to have sets 1 and 2 released before focusing on 3
lofty nymph
that's understandable
burnt thistle
@viscid trench here
burnt thistle
currently need art and/or code for the jokers from sets 1 and 2 (see github page)
viscid trench
are you able to pin posts/messages as OP?
burnt thistle
nope
viscid trench

Decided I'm going to swap the rarities of the cyberpunk jokers
Ripperdoc is now Common, and will be 1 in 3 chance to give enhancements to played cards instead of 1 in 2
Headhunter is now Uncommon and has a new effect, now it will be X3 mult if a card is destroyed during the round
viscid trench
any update on the art? I'm busy for two weeks but I should be able to make the among us jokers

OH SHIT THATS RIGHT
did the common and uncommon and started the rare but never finished it
thanks for the reminder
viscid trench
yw <3
you seem like an isaac nerd (respectfully) so I expect exceptional art for the isaac jokers
lofty nymph
i can't do exceptional art period but thanks for the encouragement
viscid trench
imma try making a narrator voice line for the birthright effects

(I'm way too broke to hire Matthias Bossi)

looking good
viscid trench
idk if I'm qualified for any opinion but I think a glass cover would be neat
also make the drop shadow more visible
and the strip a little bigger
@burnt thistle whaddayasay
burnt thistle
Agreed on the glass cover
viscid trench
darker shadow?
burnt thistle
Darker shadow is fine, strip is probably ok as is
lofty nymph
i'm gonna need one of yous to tell me what a glass cover is

doesn't really make that much sense??
having one of the 7 deadly sin bosses as a joker
esp when binge eater does exactly that in-game
the 7 deadly sins are also weird in theming like wrath is just bomberman and that makes no sense
the only one who fits in is greed and ultra pride
viscid trench
It's not like binge eater does exactly what it does here, but I guess we can keep it like that
burnt thistle
plus I also had a cool idea for the art for binge eatar
In isaac the item is made up from the sprites of various food items in the game, so we could do the same thing but with the balatro food jokers
viscid trench
hmmm
sure why not it's not like I'm the one making the art (pls don't hand it off to me to make it work inside the code)
burnt thistle
I was gifted slay the spire a few days ago so I've been playing that and now I want to redesign its jokers again
this might be a bit ambitious but I want to implement the upgrade system from StS for its jokers specifically

The first ripperdoc you meet in cyberpunk, V's good friend - he even lends V kiroshi optics for his first big job, and overall a based guy
burnt thistle
Alright
I'm down for the name change
we also need a new effect for it since art of the deal already did it
#1327494105168875592 message
viscid trench
Hmmm
I'll think about it
But I was thinking we could also change headhunter to tyrosine injector - an implant that increases damage on enemy takedown
fervent sapphire
alr cool
plush knoll
Oooh, new to this, this is, what? A Common, Uncommon, and Rare for each Crossover from Friends of Jimbo?
burnt thistle
That's the plan
So far I have joker concepts for the first two sets, we are working on having them coded and making art for them currently
the github has more info on what they do
that reminds me, I was going to rework the StS jokers
I'll get that done now
plush knoll
The only thing here I'm familiar with is Among Us,
But I might be able to lend a hand at some point art wise
burnt thistle
We already have art done for among us but thank you
lofty nymph
oh yeah now that i'm... indisposed school wise (i don't want to talk about it) i could probably do the isaac jokers
not this week tho, shared custody shenanigans
viscid trench
nah, just take your time
lofty nymph

but after that i don't know enough about much of the other games to do good art for them
burnt thistle
back again reconsidering existing ideas since other mods are already doing them
burnt thistle
Prismatic Shard rework
peak beacon
Feels like every time I come back to check on how this mod is doing, they add like a dozen more crossovers
burnt thistle
btw if anyone has any concepts for jokers for sets 3 and 4 you can put them here
viscid trench
I'm about to commit atrocious crimes against Lua
fervent sapphire
slay the princess jokers
the stranger
all face cards played are triggered thrice
the thorn
x4 mult, anytime a face card is played lose x0.5 mult
-# kings of Spades excluded
third one coming later
fervent sapphire
first is the stranger second is the thorn
burnt thistle
noted
do keep in mind that the mod's jokers will typically have one joker of each rarity, so they may need to be buffed or nerfed
viscid trench
Should we go overboard and add additional jokers after we're done or should we make a separate mod for that?
burnt thistle
I'm not opposed to having more than 3 jokers per crossover but I don't want the scope of the mod to get too out of control
burnt thistle
Alright I know I said not to focus on working on concepts for sets 3 and 4 but I got really into slay the princess and couldn't help myself
lofty nymph
how would you ever get voice of the opportunist out of the shop? skipping would make it paranoid and using would make it stubborn
burnt thistle
Buying a booster back would lock the possible voices to opportunist and paranoid (opportunist if you take or use the items, paranoid for skipping)
burnt thistle
Yes, has to be in the main shop
lofty nymph
makes sense
oh and im dumb anyway, buffoon packs exist so even if using consumables would make it stubborn there would still be a way to be opportunist
viscid trench
I feel like I have NO IDEA what anything here means
We should make gun that kills the past a thing
viscid trench
Persona jokers? Pretty please? 🥺

Persona jokers? Pretty please? 🥺

Persona jokers? Pretty please? 🥺
cool idea but would have to be its own mod
viscid trench
there is not a balatro x persona crossover
fine I guess I'm making my own FoJ+ mod
burnt thistle
I want to revive this again
motivation has been obtained
Starting by adding framework for all the sets (just putting in empty lua files and having them load for every single collab)
burnt thistle
alright thats done
ok I want to rework shapeshifter
Old: copies a random held joker effect
New: Copies the joker to the left, 1 in 4 chance to destroy that joker instead
burnt thistle
considering making a discord server for this
lofty nymph
you're the boss, boss
that reminds me i never did the isaac jokers, oopsies
i have time next week i could prolly do that
burnt thistle
btw if anyone is familiar with any of the games/franchises from the 3rd and 4th sets of Friends of Jimbo collabs and wants to help, pretty much all of those need concepting
burnt thistle
we back
sick abyss
Oh so your back!

this is so awesome :D
