Title: Dinosaur survival game - We Played God - Blacksite Studios
Post by: anevilgiraffe on June 17, 2025, 11:07:13 AM
watched this last night - needless to say a Jurassic Park/World game is instant interest, but having watched the demo, it's seems a lot of effort for 3 turns and done...

lovely terrain though.

Keeping an eye on this. I've liked BSS products so far (Lunar is pretty nice and I've got Don't Look Back inbound as I type this and I'm really interested in Demon Ship as well) and this might be another reason to put my Drowned Earth dinosaurs on the table...

I was able to watch it through...  lol

Looks interesting, but I would like to have seen more of what could make a scenario different than the previous one...  :)

Black Site Studios are on my "no buy" list, so I'll be passing, despite "dinosaurs"

I had a Lunar figure where the mould had slipped while casting and there's about 1mm difference between the halves. It should never have passed even the most basic quality control, but did :(

Spectre Games did the "not our problem, it's up to BSS" response and, despite a prompt about a month after the issue, 6 months or more later nothing has happened.

Spectre Games are also on my "no buy" list!

The figures that were fine were great, but be aware that their quality control isn't the best and they suck at responding to issues.

Which is why I'm planning on doing STL & PDF only purchases from them ;)

Watched the demo on YouTube, but the rules for the dinosaur felt way too random and the whole stress part also felt meh. Easy skip for me.

I have never bought any of BSS's games, so I can't say anything about the rulesets.  I'm turned off by the 32mm scale.  Why not use the standard 28mm?  I know, I know, it's not necessarily the "standard", but if you're going to be close and not go up to a display scale or down to 15mm or below, I just don't get it.  In my experience, a 25mm human with a 28mm human works out okay, but I'm not so sure about mixing with the 32mm.

I have a lot of BSS's lasercut terrain and I think they do a great job with that.  I really like Black Site Studio for the terrain, but I'm old school and like metal or hard plastic minis.  Resin is not for me, if I can help it.

These rules for a dinosaur game though, I don't see the innovation.  One could do a dinosaur hunt/survival game with just about any other miniatures agnostic game out there (Fistful of Lead, anyone?)

Agree with that, for sure. I will likely not be buying it unless I see lots of favorable reviews or play throughs that change my mind.
