What should I throw at my roleplaying game group tonight?

[TheMightyFavog]

Keep in mind, this game is set in 1993.

Dinosaurs or the Undead.

[BigMcLargehuge]

1. Rocks

or mashed potatoes. Sort of depends on how much you like them I guess.

[no name no slogan]

2. Real live girls

If they're like my ex-gaming group, that should sufficiently freak the fsck out of them

[TheMightyFavog]

5. There are girls in this group.

Actually, half the group is female.

[no name no slogan]

19. Correction: real live girls who don't have beards

and more back hair than the fellas.

[TimeChaser]

20. Hey now!

Don't insult gamer-girls. I happen to be one :P

[no name no slogan]

23. heh!

just kidding! I've been in a few groups w/ women gamers before. In fact they're usually better than the men at role-playing. :hi:

[Omphaloskepsis]

8. Hey, I was gonna say girls.

[Rob H.]

3. What, no option for undead dinosaurs?!

:P

Edited to add: I voted for the undead. Can't go wrong with the undead--even if the characters don't get kiled and eaten right away, there's the whole delayed zombification thing if they get bitten.

[Book Lover]

4. Well, what kind of weapons do they have?

Did you give them the big guns and lots of explosives, or the usual hand weapon stuff?

[TheMightyFavog]

7. Pistols, mostly.

A couple of shotguns, we have a melee specailist, and a martail arts guy, as well.

[Book Lover]

13. Pistols and shotguns, and you want to give them dinosaurs...

Well, hell, I'm not playing tonight, give them the velociraptors!

[Strange Child]

6. Why Choose?

Undead dinosaurs. Or undead people riding dinosaurs.

Although, getting swallowed by a skeletal TRex isn't as scary due to the 'You fall out of the ribcage' factor

[TheMightyFavog]

9. I have no adventure ready invloving undead dinosaurs.

End of Line.

[Strange Child]

15. Pity...

I'd go with the humanoid undead then. From what I've heard/read, D20 Modern characters might have trouble with the big dinos. The Medium-sized ones might work, but it'd be iffy

[TheMightyFavog]

16. We would be talking medium size.

Think Escapees from a lab doing genetic research for the US Military.

It is set in 93.. Isn't that about the time Jurassic park came out?

[Strange Child]

17. Ok

That should be doable. As long as they don't run into a full raptor pack, it should be fun. And yeah, JP came out abound '93.


I still voted for the undead, but that's because I have a soft spot for them. Must be my inner Darkbond...

[EstimatedProphet]

10. Giant tapeworms. On bicycles.

[LeftyMom]

11. What have they gone up against lately?

What system are you using?

[TheMightyFavog]

12. Modern D20

They've faced bear, feline, dolphin and canine Moreaus, (half human, half animal) some humans, and about 20 goblin security guards.

[LeftyMom]

14. I'd go with the undead

they've dealt with animal threats recently, so you should mix it up.

[khashka]

18. Well if you are DM

I'd suggest switching games when they least expect it

In one case a DM switched from Travellers to Call of Cthulhu - it was really scary as we all tried to find ways to deal with this new scenario.
(But I have an advantage - it's all weird to me. I play as a medic who was forced by the military to become an assassin. Trained to saves lives, forced to take them , brainwashed -bordeline psyichotic when I/he figuresi it out )

So switch games, change the rules in mid stream.

Khash.

[Atmashine]

21. Dinosaurs!

Especially velociraptors.

[democracyindanger]

22. '93? The Republican Congress.

[TheMightyFavog]

24. OK, I am pissed.

I had four ghouls gang up on the martial artist character who botched his first round, kicked himself in the face, and knocked himself down.

He stayed prone for ten rounds (Fight lasted 16). I rolled like shit. I think the ghouls (Who have two attacks a piece) landed three blows on him.

I had to put up with Chuck Norris references ALL NIGHT!
