World Building: S&W + Dinosaurs

One of the central conceits of GURPS' Yrth setting is that the "Maelstrom" picks up folk from random worlds and crashes them on it's main continent... Yrth mostly uses this to use real world religions and cultures... but it can also explain just about any cultural inclusion, and can explain non-human sentients of any stripe small enough to be taken by the storm.

A similar conceit explains the micronations of Ravenloft, but adding conceit that it's a prison for the evil leaders thereof.

My own homebrew world has a similar mode... except that the storms are periodic... I set my last campaign of it just after the latest one, which added dragonborn and tieflings.

Thanks for all of the input, folks! I meant to get back to this thread sooner, but have had one god awful day. :(
