Jurassic Dread
The Premise
Everyone knows Jurassic Park. The pinnacle of genetic engineering in park form,
which allows people to view dinosaurs in their natural habitat. Until something
goes wrong. In the midst of a tropical storm that brings the island down to a
skeleton crew, Dennis Nedry shuts down the park’s power in an effort to steal
dinosaur embryos, other people missed the boat out of the park, which was forced
to leave without waiting for them as the storm made it too dangerous to stay.
These four must try to survive in the park long enough for power to be restored to
the park.
Threats
The Storm: Early-game, you can have the players make some pulls to navigate in the
storm, avoid losing their footing, and run despite the pouring rain. This can
stack onto later pulls when the characters are fleeing from dinosaurs.
The T-Rex: There is a T-Rex roaming the park. He is big and scary, just like in
the movie. If, for whatever reason you don’t want to use him in this game, but
still want a big and scary dinosaur to chase the players, Baryonyx is basically a
sail-less Spinosaurus, and was mentioned in the book. In the book, there was also
a juvenile T-Rex, which was about seven or eight feet tall, and a cat-like
predator, despite its size.
Velociraptors: In the movie, there are only three velociraptors in the movie, but
in the book there are many more, so I would recommend using the book for this.
Partway through the night, the power comes back on, but it goes back off a little
while later. This is because the park was switched to auxiliary power, which could
not handle the full park’s capacity. The second power outage is what releases the
raptors, so they are not there at the beginning of the game. They are inside and
around the Visitor’s Center, and should basically be used to keep the characters
from holding up there.
Pterodactyl: Not mentioned in the movie, there is an atrium area with a ton of
these flying creatures, which technically aren’t dinosaurs. They are very
territorial and will swoop down and attack with little to no provocation. The
characters could end up in this area and having to run for their lives, meaning
lots of pulls.
Dilophosaurus: You remember this guy, right? The one with the frills that spits
poison and killed Nedry? In the movie, it was a juvenile that attacked him, in the
books, there are two adults. They still spit poison, which is not lethal, but
burns the skin and blinds you, and they are fast and have sharp claws. These guys
should be almost as deadly as the Velociraptors, should they both end up in your
game.
Herbivores: The following herbivores are in the park. Triceratops, Stegosaurus,
Parasaurolophus, Ankylosarus and Brachiosaurus. While most of these will not just
attack the characters, there are several ways that they can be used. They can be
used as a threat in their own right, such as a stampede or as a territorial
dinosaur (I recommend using either Triceratops or Stegosaurus for this), or they
could be used to alert the characters of a different threat right before it
happens, giving them some time to prepare.
Compsognathus: These small dinosaurs, also called “Compies”, are chicken-sized and
skittish. They move in packs, similar to rats, and can climb trees and the like.
They probably won’t be used in a threat, but they could be mentioned as there to
add another layer of immersion or something. Although, they do have venom that
causes paralysis, and in the first book they do manage to kill and eat one person,
as well as in the second movie, so they might have some use after all.
