None at all. It's basically Heroscape, except it's been heavily modified to fit the theme.

Thanks for the compliment. Not for sale though. Took a few years collecting and modifying stuff. Been a labor of love for me. A lot of stuff came from the aquarium section of pet stores! A lot of pulp gamers have know that little secret for a long while.

[Eraguy816]

Cool. Could you tell me where you can find that stuff?

[Gurei-Ornery]

Aww pickles! I love this game and really want to come, but I'm not sure I can make it. You may have and I just missed it, but a little more notice the next time you are going to run this would be awesome.

[Eraguy816]

Wait. MD isn't that Maryland?

Again, pet stores for most of the terrain. You just have to search for it. Some of it is one of a kind, scratch built. Most of the dinosaurs I use are out of production now. You can still find them but they are probably expensive. This is a pet custom project of mine, has been for several years now. I've been collecting terrain and props for it that long as well.

I know. I wish you and your family could make it as well. The club here on Long island sort of decides what we're going to play on a month by month basis. There really isn't any kind of long term planning, like what you'd have for a tournament. We do plan ahead for IslandScape, but not for our monthly game days. A lot of this has to do with our members schedules. Who can make it, who can't. That kinda thing can sometimes drive what we do.

Heck, a week ago I wasn't even sure I'd have this game ready enough to play again. I've been giving it a once over, cleaning up some of the rules, finding all the parts, etc. I will be running it again the following weekend up at TotalCon so I sort of needed to get it ready. That was really the driving factor of when our group was going to play it again. Hope all that makes sense!

I didn't mean to make you feel like you needed to explain, which I appreciate. I'm just jealous. I really enjoyed the last time we played and look forward to the tweaks. I am working on my wife to go still, she just feels bad giving our hosts such short notice. Me, not so much.

Todays the day everyone!

It's the "Return to the Lost Realm!" the sequel.

See everyone there!

It was just fantastic, as always, Grish! I can't wait until it's totally streamlined, but it's pretty close now.

[Grishnakh]

Thanks X_Marker. I had a great time and it was a really good play test game. I've already tweaked several things:

1. Instead of so many Encounter points scattered around the map I am now grouping them into 15 locations. Each location is labeled 1, 2, 3, etc. and has 8 encounters stacked underneath it. A team can only visit a location once, and when it does it reveals the top Encounter. This way teams have to move more around the board.

2. Really simplifying the dino movement and their options.

3. Still trying to come up with a better way to do gun jams/ammo.

Anyway, here's some picts of the game! Thanks go out to everyone that took a chance on something new and gave it a go! It was a blast!
