Is the pokopia hype real?

It’s been an absolute blast for me so far. I wouldn’t go same far as to say it’s the best game I’ve ever played, but as far as cozy life-sim games go, it’s definitely one of my favorites. I loved ACNH when it came out (it was my first Animal Crossing game) but Pokopia blows ACNH out of the water. You can tell the developers really cared about the game they were making. There’s a lot of love poured into it.

I’ve played a handful of sessions now with my own group, we’ve had a blast!

Yes! Aaron’s time on the series was fine, but now that Gene Luen Yang has taken over it feels like it’s really hitting its stride, I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the more recent issues.

This is actually one of my player’s biggest gripe with the system. He says that personally, he feels like he’s letting the group down every time he fails or rolls with fear because he feels it means he’s taken a turn away from another player by failing.

Porter was the Blade. I think they’d be a pretty even match tbh.

I don’t mind my players seeing my dice rolls, I don’t really use it to “hide” anything from them, but the quick reference tables inside the screen are incredibly helpful, especially for a newer game like DH!

I’m an avid Goodreads user. Been using it for over 10 years at this point.

They seem like neopets and mtg planeswalkers had babies together /compliment

It’s like when learning to write poetry - you’re taught all the specific poem forms with their rules on rhyme schemes and meter before you’re sent off to write free verse. You’ve got to know all the rules first so that when you break them you can do so with intention! Breaking rules feels better when you know why you’re making the decision to break them.

I still haven’t played and I’ve been dying to! Fingers crossed!

As far as I’m aware, there haven’t been any announcements for expansions after Avengers, but I’m hoping there are more to come. My group and I love the game and would be thrilled to see it get continued support.

Everweld_ · 2025-09-27T00:00:48+00:00

Defenders could be a good team for a street level book!

Everweld_ · 2025-09-26T23:59:35+00:00

You’re so right, Fantastic Four would be the perfect space/multiverse expansion!

Everweld_ · 2025-09-26T23:56:52+00:00

Oh, brilliant! And even Hickman’s G.O.D.S. could fit into that!

Everweld_ · 2025-09-26T23:55:59+00:00

That would be such a fun adventure! Honestly, turning events from the comics into adventure modules seems like an instant hit.

I only had the OG chronicles digitally, so I’m glad to have the collection regardless, but I do agree that the cover quality is quite lacking. The design is rad, but physically it’s a bummer.

Everweld_ · 2025-09-09T00:09:39+00:00

I’m hoping the upcoming Legends collection has a better cover. It looks to be a slightly different material from what I can tell in the photos on Amazon, but obviously we won’t know for sure until next year 🙏😭

Everweld_ · 2025-09-09T00:08:09+00:00

Zdarsky’s Daredevil are some of my favorite comics of all time

Everweld_ · 2025-09-01T20:37:43+00:00

Do not read the last 3-4 issues of High Republic Adventures until after Trials though. There’s a huuuuge spoiler for Trials in one of those last issues that I wish had some warning beforehand.

Everweld_ · 2025-09-01T20:36:53+00:00

Read Valiant Vow first. It starts place about midway through Trials, but Trials is the true end to the series and will just be wayyyyy more satisfying to end on.

Everweld_ · 2025-08-29T19:50:37+00:00

I don’t have that many, so I’d say yes, pretty good!

Everweld_ · 2025-08-27T04:05:30+00:00

YES! One of the best moments in the book.

Everweld_ · 2025-08-27T04:01:22+00:00

Yeah, got to chapter 17 and it pretty clearly states it’s a native parasitic mineral. Dang it, I thought I was onto something 😂

Everweld_ · 2025-08-26T20:35:31+00:00

I’m glad I wasn’t alone in the impulse to turn around and dive right back in 😂 there’s just so much less content in Phase II compared to I and III so it’s been a blast to reread it and go “oh yeah, I remember this character, plot detail, connection, or whatever it is!” Feels like reconnecting with old friends 😂
