Dinosaurs?

Unread post by jcherry33 »

Hey, wondered if anyone would know where I can find info on dinosaurs in the palladium library? I want to have some time shenanigans in my game (stuff being pulled to the present from other time periods, stuff like that). Thanks!

Alien Unlimited Galaxy Guide (one world has dino creatures)
Trans-Dimensional TMNT (timetravel book, has partial stats for various prehistoric creatures. might need boosting to be dangerous to superheroes. also has stuff on 'future animals' as well as tables for adding some diversity to critters)
Palladium Fantasy Monsters and Animals (has some prehistoric animals, as well as dino like critters. also has regular animal stats that could be adapted to various prehistoric animals)

Rifts Worldbook 7: Undersea's (has some prehistoric like aquatic animals, some alien critters, and a 'build your own critter' table useful for making other alien critters)
Rifts Worldbook 14: New West (has MDC dino's, as well as some alien critters.)
Rifts: worldbook :dinosaur swamp (MDC dino's and alien critters)
Rifts worldbook : Dinosaur Swamp Adventures (reprints the New West Dino's, adds a bunch of additional Dino's and alien critters/plants.)

the rifts books are MDC, and not all have SDC stats provided. however a 1 to 1 conversion works pretty well and should leave the animals interesting to encounter but not too powerful.

Transdimensional TMNT has by far the weakest stats for prehistoric creatures.. but it has tons of other useful rules and ideas, so i'd suggest it anyway. the timetravel system makes adventuring through time fun without being too powerful (fewer paradox concerns), and it has details on future timeframes with animals, plants, and machines that would make interesting HU encounters on their own.

In addition to the above, certain printings of the original Rifts Main Book have a random dinosaur table on the very last page, which could easily be converted to S.D.C. rules.
There you go man, keep as cool as you can.
Face piles of trials with smiles. It riles
them to believe that you perceive the web they weave
and keep on thinking free.
