###### tags: `rpg` `pbta` `dino island`

## Concept

> *[**Escape from Dino Island**](https://samnite.itch.io/escapefromdinoisland) is a thrilling adventure game about intrepid heroes trapped on an island overrun with creatures from a lost age - **dinosaurs**!*

> *Will you escape with your life? And what kind of person will you become in your quest to survive? There’s only one way to find out...*

## Aim

> _Players take on the role of everyday people who are brave and competent, but also in over their head. The game is designed to help you create the kind of stories that are full of action and suspense, but in which fighting is **rarely** a good option._

## Tone

At times light-hearted, serious at others, but not grim or dark by any means. There's absolutely room for humor, but too much silliness may get in the way of the suspense, fast action, and mild drama that the system wants.

## Subject Matter

The various movies in the Jurassic Park film franchise are the best exmplars of the subject matter. There is the likely potential for fear, drama, and physical violence, but there is also the possibility to punctuate that with humor, relief, and light-heartedness. Violence has a high likelihood of ending in death, but beyond the occurance itself, death isn't a theme that will be dwelt on.

## Safety

- **lines**
> _hard boundaries that exclude specified content from the game, no questions asked_
- sexual themes
-
- **veils**
> _softer limits where the player is ok with it being included in the game but it isn’t explicitly described_
