Dinosaur Park: The 1986 Tabletop RPG
Digging through the attic of gaming history, the team at Sanspants Radio stumbled upon a genuine artifact: the Dinosaur Park: The 1986 Tabletop RPG. What began as a curiosity, a quick game to see how this forgotten rulebook actually played, quickly became an obsession. This podcast is the hilarious and chaotic audio record of that discovery. You'll hear a group of friends trying to navigate the charmingly clunky mechanics of a game where dinosaurs roam a theme park, embracing its earnest weirdness and spinning it into unpredictable, comedic fiction. The adventure didn't stop there. The hunt was on for the elusive sequel, leading them to the post-apocalyptic wasteland of Dinosaur World and, eventually, the cosmic frontiers of Dinosaur Universe. Each campaign is a standalone journey into a different era of niche game design, all filtered through improvisational comedy and a genuine affection for the source material. It's less a formal playthrough and more like eavesdropping on a very funny, slightly confused archaeological dig, where the fossils are rulebooks and the treasures are terrible dice rolls. Tune in for the unexpected narratives that emerge when a silly premise is taken completely seriously by players who absolutely cannot manage to do so.
