a modern day "lost world" scenario? I have been watching Primeval on BBC America and thought what a cool idea for a game. Plus an excuse to buy some dino's. What rule set would best cover modern weapons, vehicles, and dino's? i'm thinking my Vor Union troopers would work for the military types...and of course some intrepid investigators, maybe a Hummer or 2 as well. Oh, and of course some raptors, ptero's, and asst'd other nasties.

Saurian Safari by Chris Peers includes (reluctantly) modern weapons. You should be able to manage with them.

There's Apocalypse-D by Exploding Goat games using the Battlefield Evolution license Mongoose recently announced. Never played the basic system, but it looks nice to me. :)

Why reluctantly?

I too would be curious.
Anything that could have a bit of RPG to it as well so the non fighters could be used too?

This is a bit of a revival of an old thread! The 'reluctant' part in Saurian Safari is that the game is supposed to focus on big game hunters, and the idea of bringing in autocannons and rocket launchers is considered a little unsporting. Been a while since I looked at the rules, but IIRC they favour a bit of role play.

Adventures In The Lost Lands by Two Hour Wargames includes rules for cavemen, and adapting colonial era, pulp era, and WWII humans to the rules. Wouldn't be a big stretch to adapt them to modern, near future or even SF realms.

I've been thinking along the same lines for a while and am considering adapting the Dr Who Miniatures Games rules. It already has stats for some dinos and modern weapons. Plus it's free.
