[Meta Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Lord Windos]

I have a BIG...

...MASSIVE...

...GIGANTIC update for everyone!




It seems that Version 2.0 of the Pokerole core book has finally been released!  And sometime in the last week, too, given that the latest version was still 1.2.5 a week ago when I made the meta thread.  It seems to include the rest of the UBs and Gen 8, more specific rules for Legendaries and Plot Devices, rules for Mega Evolution and Dynamaxing, various trainer ranking systems and info on rivals, many reworked systems, and even brand new rules on Pokemon Contests (which they apparently decided to turn into a board game of all things)!

I'm looking through the 2.0 corebook as we speak, reading all the new information.  It looks like a massive reworking of the system overall.  And because it's such a massive overall, I'm not sure it'd be suitable to refer to the new rules.  But I'm reading through it to see what's there regardless.

....Call me a ludite in this instance, but I rather we stick with 1.25 version of Pokerole and versions prior to that and not include any new changes in this campaign, if 2.0 is such a radical shake up of the established formula. I'm a firm believer of not only the K.I.S.S. idealogy, but not making huge sweeping revisions to a game all at once unless it happens prior to a Game's start and everyone is warned well in advance about any changes to be made/considered. Maybe we can test out the rules and new additions in another campaign later, or introduce them bit by bit as the story goes along, but not soon or all at once.

That's my take of things, at least. Feel free to act in what you think is the best interests for your campaign and us as your players, mate.
