A demonstration of why Palladium’s system doesn’t rule the world. 😋
Also evidence that not all “old-school” games were simple, rules-light affairs.
It feels like most “old-school” games were over-burdened by rules upon rules, good or not. I believe our Blue Planet series covered this a little bit, talking about how it went from a very simulationist, what can we do as characters sorts of games to what is our character’s place in the story of the world to, nowadays, what is the story for my character directly. It’s been a very interesting evolution of game design mindset, and it’s very exciting!
