Dinosaurs and Other Prehistoric Creatures
 |
 |
Hundreds of dinosaurs¸ described with complete scientific accuracy (the book has been approved by The Dinosaur Society!). Take a trip back to a time when the toughest player-characters went by another name Lunch.
Filled with information about all three periods of the Mesozoic¸ mostly fauna¸ but there is also some flora information. Describing most of the major classes of dinosaurs¸ this book was absolutely fascinating¸ and informative (as many GURPS supplements are). Any GM who plans on running a time-travel campaign would also be urged to buy this supplement.
Tyrant Kings! Giganotosaurus¸ the largest carnivore ever to walk the Earth... Packs of Deinonychus¸ the "terrible claws"... Triceratops¸ armed with shield and spears... 65-ton Brachiosaurus¸ tall as a four-story building... Ankylosaurus¸ the living tank... the fearsome Tyrannosaurus rex... cunning Troodons... the deadly Utahraptor... Their fossil bones inspired myths of dragons and other monsters. Their images still terrify us today. Visit their world - or have them visit yours. GURPS Dinosaurs includes: A detailed bestiary of the world before human history¸ with more than 100 dinosaurs¸ plus pterosaurs¸ sea monsters¸ other reptiles¸ and prehistoric birds and mammals. A chronology of life on Earth¸ from the Cambrian explosion to the Ice Ages.

Maps and background material for the world of the dinosaurs. Plot and adventure ideas for Time Travel¸ Supers¸ Horror¸ Cliffhangers¸ Atomic Horror¸ Space¸ Survivors¸ Fantasy¸ Cyberpunk¸ and even caveman slapstick campaigns!
