Jurassic Park RPG?

[Reynard]

I'm literally running a "reroll" of Jurassic Park using Genesys, and it's been fun so far! We're only one session in, but the players are liking the dice mechanics (and the setting is just so good).

Do you mean the players taking the roles of the film protagonists?

Yes! It's basically doing what the Film Reroll crew does (they're great).

The basic idea is that the GM creates the character sheets and hands them out. Then, because players are players, the 'movie' completely changes (often in unhinged ways).

I've rerolled a couple of films with various groups: IT, Fast & the Furious, and the Fellowship of the Ring. All were great fun.

Xak Tsaroth definitely has some survival horror vibes.

Bill Paxton as Tanis: "game over man game over, we aren't going to last 17 turns"

Sigorney Weaver as Raistlin: " this little gully dwarf survived with no weapons and no training"

I have always wanted to do that with Star Wars and just see where it goes.

There's actually an official (i.e. licensed) Jurassic Park RPG. But it sucks. If I were to run a Jurassic Park adventure/campaign, I'd use the Primeval RPG.

Same, especially with the wild original script of Star Wars that Dark Horse made into a very odd comic a few years back.

yeah, that book is bonkers.

Depending on tone at the table I'd go with GI Joe (you're a big damn hero like Pratt's character) or Twilight: 2000 (you're doomed to die like just about everyone else).

C’mon, Raistlin is totally a Burke…
