Dinopocalypse

Lots of zombie apocalypse games out there. Strikes me as an interesting idea to come up with a comic book science reason why dinosaurs have come back and have destroyed civilization as we know it. Kind of a Reign of Fire meets Jurassic Park.

D20 modern would be an interesting system to use.

Re: Dinopocalypse

Evil Hat published a trilogy of novels and a tie in adventure that does something like that. The system it was created for is Spirit of the Century, but could easily be converted to FATE Core.

The adventure is a free download on Drivethroughstuff.com. http://www.drivethrurpg.com/pr...he-Century-Adventure

The novels are pulpy fun and the adventure looks reasonably good. But, I haven't had a chance to run it yet.

Re: Dinopocalypse

I would like to play, d20 modern is a just fine system.
I know there are a lot of players that don't like it but hell I'm in.

Re: Dinopocalypse

D20 modern is simple enough and has a large selection of dinosaurs to select as enemies.

Re: Dinopocalypse

I would definitively join this kind of game. There are never enough dinos, even during a dinopocalypse !

Re: Dinopocalypse

Are you looking strictly for a dinopocalypse? Would you consider something like Dino Crisis? How about being transported to a "lost world"?

Re: Dinopocalypse

Dino Crisis sounds like it is just Jurassic park or thereabouts. Transported to a lost world doesn't really get to what I'm looking for. The idea is to have Dinos taking over our world. The interplay between the ruins of a modern world and dinosaurs is what I'm interested in.

Re: Dinopocalypse

Just saw Jurassic World and am still interested in this concept.

One thought is to have a Jurassic Park built in a major city and they have a breakout. Like Maybe in Central Park or on the lakefront in Chicago.

We watched at the Drafthouse and they show old movie clips before the show. There was a clip for Dinosaur Planet, a terrible 70's movie about a space crew who crashes on an Earth-like planet. Could do a Planet of the Apes type setup where at some point the characters realize that they are actually on Earth in the future.

Could also do a Land of the Lost type of creation.

I'm open to systems on this - nothing too crunchy, I think.
