Diesel and Dinosaurs, Powered by Charge
A downloadable TTRPG
Is a rogue tyrannosaurus inciting panic in a local settlement?
Have velociraptors wandered into a neighborhood causing a safety hazard?
Did an earthquake spook a herd of triceratops which are stampeding towards a local settlement?
Ride into the Parazoic
Diesel and Dinosaurs is a powered by charge RPG combining dinosaurs and post apocalypse settings and inspired by the cartoon Cadillacs and Dinosaurs and the comic Xenozoic Tales.
Humanity has spent the last 600+ years in bunkers while the planet recovers from a massive climate crisis. Those bunkers began to breakdown beyond the mechanist's abilities to keep them running and eventually humanity began to return to the surface. They found a world once again reclaimed by dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals, and began working to settle this untamed land.
The Charge RPG system is a streamlined approach to Forged in the Dark, simplifying a lot of aspects in a way that I find more approachable, whether you are familiar with forged in the dark or not, you should be able to easily step into this game and get comfortable in this system!
Not Set in Stone
Diesel and Dinosaurs is a fully released and ready to play game with over 100 pages of content. The current release edition has some placeholder art or is lacking art in spaces, that art will be added as i gain time to work on it.
I also would love feedback that i can help clarify in the game. Is there something you feel is missing? some guidance you feel would be helpful? is there something you want to see an example of or something you want to know how to accomplish?
I'd love to update the game to make it clearer for everyone involved!
