Dinosaurs Rule

I promised you some dinosaurs, so here we go. For quite a long time my Dinosaurs in Miniature page has contained the line Rules (coming soon) so I figure why not do something about that? As this blogging every day thing is very taxing, I’m presenting a skeleton list here and asking you good people to help me flesh it out. What am I missing? What have I got wrong? I’m only after more or less professionally published rules here.

Wargames focussed mainly on prehistorics

• Saurian Safari – probably the best known dinosaur hunting wargame.
• Tooth & Claw¹
• Try-to-survive-asaurus
• DinoMight
• Tusk
• Prehistoric Settlement
• Thrilling Expeditions: Valley of the Thunder Lizard

Wargames that feature prehistorics

• Mammalian Mayhem
• Voyages Extraordinaires
• G.A.S.L.I.G.H.T – maybe? I’ve heard of people using these rules for dino hunting games.

RPGs focussed mainly on prehistorics

• Og
• Tooth & Claw²

RPGs that feature prehistorics

• Over the years various Monster Manuals for various games have included all sorts of dinosaurs and other prehistoric beasts.
• Volume III of Marcus Rowland’s³ Forgotten Futures concentrates on Arthur Conan Doyle’s Professor Challenger novels including The Lost World.
• One of the best known scenarios of all time, The Isle of Dread for D&D featured prehistoric creatures heavily.
• Blackdirge Publishing produce a series of D20 system PDFs under the banner Animal Archives: Prehistoric Animals
• Phoenix Command – the favourite game of gun crazy maths nerds features stats for Dinosaurs in its Phoenix Command Expansion expansion.
• Dark Continent – a few cryptids like the Nandi Bear make an appearance and there may be something much bigger lurking as well…

[1][2][3] Tooth & Claw is a miniatures from Chris Peers, a prehistoric RPG from Memento Mori Theatricks and a dragon based RPG from Marcus Rowland.

And look what I picked up on eBay a little while ago. It was advertised as being from HLBS and by a process of elimination (i.e. what I don’t already own) must be their Utahraptor figure.
