Palworld Mystery Dungeon (Alpha Build)

Genre: Dark Fantasy Version / Mystery Dungeon Premise: Humanity vanished 7000 years ago, leaving behind ruins and weapons. Now, Pals rule the archipelago. In this Open-World RPG, you play as a Pal in a world torn between nature and ancient industry. Rebuild: Join the New Horizon Guild to restore civilization. Conquer: Battle the tyrannical Ascendant Dominion. Survive: Manage Hunger, Sanity, and Crafting while exploring 40+ Dungeons. Beware: The Stalker watches.

Author's Note & Disclaimer I’ll be straight up honest with you: I am still figuring this out as I go. This is a very rough, passion-project attempt at making a Palworld version of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon. First, a huge shoutout to JenLynx, who made the original Pokemon Mystery Dungeon on this site. Playing their world is exactly what inspired me to try making this Palworld version, so definitely go check theirs out! The Future of this Build & "Craft" Updates on this specific version are going to be very slow, or paused entirely. The developers are launching a new platform called "Craft" soon, and I plan to wait for that to drop since it will have better systems for this kind of game. Because maps and monthly subscriptions do not transfer over to the new platform, I want to sincerely apologize to anyone currently playing or paying on this version. It didn't feel fair to keep hyping updates here when I will have to completely redo the map over there. In the meantime, I am taking a break from this to work on a new Cyberpunk world and experiment with some different game mechanics. Open for Cloning! Because of the platform move, I am treating this build as an open foundation. I have enabled cloning—so if anyone wants to copy this, work on it, fix my map errors, or make it better, please go for it! You have my blessing to take this groundwork and run with it. A few quick heads-ups before you play: Bugs & D&D: I am very new to D&D systems, so trying to translate Palworld mechanics into D&D has been a massive learning curve. You will find bugs. (Note to self: copying the exact same stats over to different characters causes weird effects!). AI & Text: I used an AI assistant to help organize the lore and clean up my text (which you would probably notice quickly anyway!). Names & Maps: I am notoriously bad at coming up with names, and I noticed after the fact that I accidentally grabbed the wrong map for some areas. Bear with me! Rights & Fan-Made Pals: I do not own the rights to Palworld. Aside from the 12 custom, fan-made Pals I created for the story, this is purely a fan project. If you want to jump in to explore dungeons, craft guns as cute animals, and fight evil empires, give it a try!
