You are speaking nonsense - your words almost sound like they imply that the Story King's right to make rocks fall and kill people is contingent on their actions or circumstances, but that's heresy.

Switching back, since this is totally serious business that requires voter-politics to try to pick the best winning option.

You know what's cool? Rags to riches stories. You love the underdog beating the big guys, and thus you want to make that the default gaming experience. So you make the enemies tougher than the typical PCs, so they have to think on their feet to beat them. You make sure the list of equipment is long and detailed, and most of it is out of the reach of starting PCs, so they have something to look forward to.
You've made all the major decisions and it's time to publish. You need to think about a way to sell this game. You need... a title and a selling point.
[ ] Write-in. Describe this abomination and give it a title!

Not sure of anything else, but...
Xvorzieatia Saga.
Because it is a saga, an epic unseen since the days of the norse sagas, and the players should know that going in. And it's mostly about the fascinating world you created, and 'ia' is totally a valid ending that makes it look cooler, don't judge me!

[X] Xvör'zieatia Saga: An epic RPG gameline that gives the players the potential to do great things across a wide, detailed, and lovingly created world, which evokes bronze age mythology, new-age fairy-tales, space operas, and steampunk conventions. Sure to have something for everyone, Xvor'zieatia Saga is clearly the gamebook of the year! With hand-drawn pictures from an artist friend you know who hasn't read the book.
Points for people who note my deep and subtly hidden references to other tabletop games.

-In the alien world of Unpronounceability, you are the lowest of the low. Depending on what you run into, this means you are Food, Entertainment, or an Experiment. (Food is the best option.) Reach for the stars to change your destiny, because all things are possible. Unfortunately, most of the possibilities are bad.
Can you avoid being an hors d'oeuvre?

I think our hypothetical Some Guy isn't completely stupid and will have a name that is at most incredibly pretentious and kind of dumb, rather than literally unpronounceable.

Ehh, the 'lowest of the low' sounds too much like it knows it's a garbage/joke RPG, whereas my vote, except for the last line with the artist thing, sounds like it's an actual sales pitch.

Yeah, I have to agree there. I don't really like the tagline given for Saga.
