I'm going to be running a Valley of the Thunder Lizard game at Recruits in Lee's Summit, MO next month. My game will be Friday night starting at around 6:30ish. If anyone from the boards wants to reserve a spot just PM me.

keep us informed! I love dino hunts. I've never got around staging one myself and am really curious how it works out.

Outstanding board set up. Dino Hunts are absolute mayhem, especially if you throw some odd encounters in.

Great themed board. Please post images of the game you play on it!

One more thing...I have room for a couple more people at the playtest game this weekend. So if anyone in the KC areas is interested, send me a PM.

Chuck's game last night was a smash hit, there was all sorts of Mesozoic Mayhem, or, more correctly Hollow Earth Horror. I think everyone had a great time, and the dinosaurs were much nastier than in the playtest, as we all seemed to score lots of head shots.

I have pictures I will post probably on Sunday after the convention chaos is all over.

Please do so. That's what I love about the Rattrap stuff: the chance for absolute mayhem and yet it feels so familiar once you have seen a couple of movies.

Being the idiot I am, I forgot my camera last night so we will have to wait for UncleRhino's pix. The agme went very well. Lots of mayhem. Two of the hunters kept making head shots. I think a total of 5 or 6 Dinosaurs were dropped in one shot kills by two different players. While the other hunters kept getting leg and torso shots on the cowardly T-Rex. I think the adult T-Rex and a juvenile T-Rex were the only Dinos to fail Guts checks during the game.

Well, here goes with the pictures, Chuck can tell you more about them, but I will give you my version of the story.

1. Chuck, being the self-proclaimed idiot that he is, got to the convention and carried in one box set it on the table and says to me "well, this ought to do it, whaddaya think?"

After some deliberation, it was decided that maybe he should set it up like it was during the playtest, as it would be very difficult to seat eight players around that box, this is what he wound up with.

I think he wound up having six players total, as I was busy off rummaging through the cheap minis bins looking for a big score. Several of his players were young folks, but they were ambitious and eager to get ahead.

Correct me if I am wrong, Chuck, but is it true that NOBODY chose the group with The Legend? I thought this was complete b.s. and so here is a picture of said figure of legendary exploits. I am actually kind of proud of the way this one came out, the shadow effect turned out nice, goes to show you I can get a great picture now and then.

Seems like lots of folks were rolling ONES as often as they liked, this even extended to the dinosaurs, one wound in the leg and this king of the dinosaurs was heading for the hills...oh, the shame. I think he came back and ate the offendor, I don't recall.

These are pretty much the pics that actually turned out, there were a few more, but they were either not so great, or had a teenager holding up a peace sign in front of them.

Seems like the teenager gaming crowd wants to do two things: Kill and Maim, and they would prefer to be able to kill and maim other players, if possible. I don't recall being that way, but I am sure I was.

Chuck got lots of comments on his game and I got more on Saturday, I had about three people ask me when the "cool dinosaur game" was going to run again.
