This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: jan paparazzi;733860You are right. I didn't know Primeval. It has everything you need for a game with dinosaurs. Hollow Earth Expedition is more of an adventure game.

Well, HEX is set in the pulp era, hence all the vehicles and tech in the game are pulp era, though there are rules for weird science IIRC. All in all it would just be a little bit more work.

I do think Primeval's Vortex system - also used in Doctor Who and Rocket Age - would be a better fit, because it's far more gritty/deadly than HEX's Ubiquity.


A guy on the Eden Studios boards did a write-up for a ton of prehistoric creatures for Classic Unisystem. Converting these to Vortex shouldn't pose too much of a problem, since the systems are rather similar in places.

I'd use Spycraft for this.

Porting over all the D&D Dinosaurs for this would be easy.
Blackmoor grew from a single Castle to include, first, several adjacent Castles (with the forces of Evil lying just off the edge of the world to an entire Northern Province of the Castle and Crusade Society's Great Kingdom.
