Survival in Jurassic Park

[Guest DRL]

This is the Discussion thread for

the Survival in Jurassic Park RP.

Feel free to post any ideas

or questions regarding the RP!

I think I could help by drawing an 'overlay' of the whole island. Like the top view of the island's layout. I'll post it here maybe tomorrow, or somewhere this week.

If Geo indeed wants to draw the geographic overview of the island (Make sure to make it quite big, and with LOT of enviromental variety), it would be an easy task for you to decide where the various creature enclosures and buildings will be placed. Might be a good idea to keep that from us, so it comes as a surprise when we suddenly stumble into "Raptor woods", or "Big-jaw river". :wink:

[Geo Stelar]

Don't worry. I'll do my best for the island's design, and after that you can put some additional detail or remove some or replace some. I'll start drawing the map tonight.

Another great idea as well, Asper!

Thank you for your contribution to the RP,

Geo!

So far I do not plan to give spoliers but there will

as metioned before the RP will have dinosaurs from

all 3 JP movies.

If anyone has additional ideas and

such phearps now is the best time to do so.

|EDIT|: Also, I have been trying to simplify the

            rules so they are do not take long to read

            and are yet clear. If anybody finds a rule too

            long or confusing, please tell me.

One thing, if you make a Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus come and make a mess of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, I will haunt you in your dreams for the rest of your life.

I never liked the Spino. It might have been big, but it's not as special somehow as the King. That sail on the back was a huge weakness as well. The bones supporting it was connected to his spine, so breaking the sail meant breaking its back. If you somehow tried to teach him to roll around, it would die. :facepalm:

That makes sense to me.

Actually what I was thinking of the Spinosaurus

was like getting close to the sea. Since the

Rex is far better in land, they might not

meet at all.

Also killing one of the bigger dinos will

make things easier for players,

and I certainly want everything

to be on 'Mean Hard' difficulty.

A fight will still happen if they meet, althrough

honestly in a Spino vs. Rex I think the Rex

has serious advantage.

Fine I'm in as Krystal no staff just her Pda which will proabably malfuction or run out of battery power. can she have her telepathy? (Which will be completely useless in navagating  the island.)

[Guest DRL]

That solves it.

her Pda which will proabably malfuction or run out of battery power.

She can have her PDA, but it will not

work for: Calling for help, maps, or

any kind of communication.

As explained in this rule:

°Your Communicator/PDA/GPS will not work

  for communiating with others, as maps, or

  as means to call for help.

  Find, power up, and use the ones in the island.

Feel free to use it take notes/pictures or as

your personall log.

can she have her telepathy? (Which will be completely useless in navagating  the island.)

Unfortunately, that conflicts

with a rule:

°Dinosaurs are not affected by magic,

and your 'special powers' will not work as

long as you stay in the island. Note that

special abilities (Such as Telekinesis)

are also disabled.

Telekinsis/Psych Powers/Telephay are

considered special powers. As such,

they are disabled as long as you stay

in the island.

A Triceratops - Rex battle would be cooler for me.

Herbivore with horns versus a Predator with big jaws will be an awesome fight

Anyway I just started the map; Are you planning that the island have an 'Exit'?

[CrypticQuery]

Out of curiosity, what types of vehicles will be on the island? Normal S.U.V.'s/armored vehicles/etc

Well, in the movie the 'intended'

exit is the same as the entrace.

Doubt if it will be the exit at the

end of the RP, however.

Out of curiosity, what types of vehicles will be on the island? Normal S.U.V.'s/armored vehicles/etc

There is a rule that states what is

and is not available on the island:

° No 'custom transport'. You will travel to the

  island using John Hammond's, regardless of

  who your character is. So, no UFOs, Landmasters,

  Arwings or similar. In the island you might still

  be able to find jeeps and such, but no military

  vehicles such as tanks.

As much an APC,

althrough

cetainly not in

the starting area.

If you'd like advice on what species of dinosaurs you'll have on the island, or vehicle models for that matter, feel free to PM me and I'd do my best to help you.

Thank you, that will certainly

make a better Role Play.

I will PM you soon.

[Geo Stelar]

I have a suggestion

Once they enter, all characters are trapped forever, so to get out the characters will have to go through a set of terrains with different types of dinosaurs they have to at least disable or defeat before facing either the T-Rex (land) or the Temnodontosaurus (water) at the end point of the island in a sort of a final boss battle before they can re-open the entrance gate and get the hell outta there...

But when they close the entrance gate behind them, they face another island full of dinosaurs they have to survive  :shock: :shock: :shock:

... and at the same time they must discover who set them this deadly and fatal trap

[Kursed]

I'm goingto switch characters to my fan character Tala Raibyde a white wolf she usally has telepathy ,but because i rarely show her using it she'd be a better character for me to use. Hre equipment inlcudes a pda and macro binoculars. can they have a compass?

Actually once in you are technically trapped, I think.

You do not have any 'easy' means to communicate with

the... outside world, nor of escaping the island...

...As for the exit, well, there are going to be different ones

and different ways of leaving the island, all of them require

something to be done before you actually succed.

As for the boss battle, I am not sure. If you saw the first movie

you will remember that rarely anyone had a weapon, and the

security guy who had one got ambushed by a Raptor.

I think it will be more like outhinking your enemies.

O-Kay, but remember, PDA's do not work

for calling for help or as maps.

Telepathy is not allowed as it would give

you an unfair advantage over the other

characters.

Binoculars and compasses can be considered 'survival

gear', and besides, it is likely these can be found in

the island.

[Kursed]

okay just the PDa then although  Tala is kinda a bird whactcher though.

andyes no telepathy the point of me changing chartersis krystal isn't krystal without telepathy. and since I rarely show tala using her telepathy it'd bebetter if i use her  so that i don't start using telepathy.

Cool!, I will add you to the list then.

Also the RP has still room for improvements,

so if you have more ideas feel free to post here

or PM me. Questions will also be answered, so if

in doubt of anything do not hesitate to ask.
