Paul V. there are three blog posts at http://www.skeletaldrawing.com/ that talk about it. Basically, it seems the back legs are too small and there's some dispute about spinosaurus arms being strong enough to support it as a quadrapedal walker.
But I thought this new reconstruction looked really cool from a D&D point of view. Like some kind of river dragon.
Where did it all go wrong, Casey? I can’t pinpoint it, but it was already too late when they remade 3:10 to Yuma and took a movie that was mostly two men talking about morality in a hotel room and put in a Gatling gun.
This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
Awesome!
ReplyDeleteI still don't understand why the idea of it looking a lot like Baryonyx is controversial.
Do local laws prevent you from feeding the dinosaurs? Like geese that are hand fed bread crumbs, I bet that could get of hand pretty quickly.

Oh, all right then. I thought people were just mad that it didn't look like the old-school "carnosaur with a Dimetrodon fin" look.
ReplyDeleteThe guys on the Tet Zoo podcast were wondering if it maybe walked like a pangolin, with it's hands just above the ground.
