The game has been pushed back to Friday.Welcome to the Miscellaneous D&D Collector's Guide! Update: Things came up Wednesday that prevented us from playing. I may order Dinosaurs That Never Were to see if it kick-starts any ideas. Not only do normal dinosaurs walk the valley, but there's also fire-breathing and/or two-headed dinosaurs, and a variety of Mythological creatures show up, so that's Carte Blanche for anything. NPCs can be sucked in from period in history, and even other worlds or dimensions. Pylons can do all sorts of metaphysical and scifi craziness. Throughout the series, it seems that perhaps the pocket dimension is falling apart. The tribal magic and ignorance of the lizardmen leads to many of the same issues the Pakuni can generate, but Sleestack are conveniently sinister badguys. Sa, Ta, and Cha-Ka sure caused some headaches in the series, with their tribal magic and niavete. Food is a little odd, and there's all those darned dinosaurs. The following list is more for my benefit/brainstorming than your entertainment: There's several different themes in Land of the Lost, which I'll be flipping between as I plan/run sessions. Well, in an RPG, there's an infinite special effects budget and my wife's certainly no child, so this has some potential. After all, the concepts in Land of the Lost were awesome, it was technical faults of the special effects and child actors that made it silly and not stand the test of time. As I researched and prepped for Og, though, I just kept thinking how much fun it would be to do something more serious in the setting. I threw several Land of the Lost references into my Og one-shot. Speaking of Og, that's actually what made me realize I wanted to run a Land of the Lost game. More importantly, that means she can only fly short distances/durations, with long recharge times, so the various dinosaurs aren't completely without threat. She took the Flight Power from Savage Worlds for the character, so it's not permanent mundane wings it's more like magical Flight. She picked one with wings, which complicates things mildly, but should be fun. Knowing we'd be using minis, I told Sarah to flip through the figs we have and pick any 25-30mm humanoid figure to base her character on. I don't expect it to be combat heavy, since that would conflict the themes of the source material - not to mention T-Rex's are pretty nasty in Savage Worlds. It also gives me a chance to test out my proposed 1 Hit = 1 Wound rule, which should make Savage Worlds less dangerous for one-player.
Savage Worlds pretty much assumes miniature-based combat, and it mixes genres well, so it was a natural choice. I had a bunch of dinosaur and megafauna minis I'd used for Og a while back, so I figured I'd want to do a version with minis for combat/chase scenes.

In the series the main characters were just 1970s average joes, but supporting cast included Cavemen, Ape Men, Dinosaurs, Lizard Men, Medusa, a Yeti and a Unicorn, a Psychic Alien and his Robot pet, a Civil War Confederate, a NASA testpilot, and Talking Skulls from a long-collapsed civilization. I told her that as long as she doesn't abuse it by retiring characters every third session, I'll let her retain accumulated XP whenever she makes a new character.Īnd boy are there character options. If she does get sick of her character, but we're not sick of the setting yet, she can escape via Pylon Gate and be replaced by a new PC. Sarah will get to develop a character over time, while I (as GM) get to riff all over the thematic map.
I have a strong fondness for the setting, stemming back to childhood, and I must admit I bought all three seasons on DVD a few years ago. However, episodes were written by well known SciFi authors such as Ben Bova, Larry Niven, Theodore Sturgeon and David Gerrold, so there's some real gems in there amidst the rough. The show was pretty crazy, and some would say dreadful.

So, as mentioned in my previous post, I'm about to launch a campaign based on the old TV show Land of the Lost.
