I only vaguely remember the first reveal ages ago of it being the game where you can shoot and eat Pokemon. Might not even be the same game.

Normally, I don't care about Pokemon-type games, but I've seen at least two respectable posters [read: cohosters I follow] marvel at how bad Palworld is in non-specific terms WHILE it has a fucking banner up on Steam. So I'm now interested!

"... [T]his is the hill I will die upon, in such spectacular fashion, that no living soul will survive approaching within a kilometre of the epicentre of the crater that remains when I am done dying on it."

You have horror stories so old they predate OSR - when the O was the only S and needed no R - of GMs pitching a fit that the players won.

A GM wins not by beating the players, but by presenting a challenge to the players that, by the end, is so good that the players will never shut up about it to anyone that will listen.

How that meshes with ideas like Tucker's kobolds, I don't quite know.

Gonna try and write the review today - and then it's off to the volunteer editor, so it will probably be out before the game's second anniversary!
