Dungeons & Dinosaurs

Jurassic Park Inspired One-shot Ideas

A while ago I found some DnD 5e stat blocks for dinosaurs, and decided to make a one-shot featuring some of them. Most of these are at least partially inspired by the Jurassic Park movies, focusing on combat against the dinosaurs, and potentially escaping them.

Jurassic Park:

Essentially the plot of the first movie

A park run by a necromancer who raised the dinosaurs

The park is sabotaged

Find to survive and find a way off the island

Really, any of the movie plots could work

Hunger Games:

The Hunger Games, but with dinosaurs instead of wolves

Players are set to fight each other to the death

Can chose to do that, or decide to work together

See which player (potentially players) last the longest

Little Shop of Horrors

Murder mystery

Again, essentially the plot of the musical, but the players take the place of law enforcement, not Seymour.

Players are investigating a series of murders/disappearances

If the players are not familiar with the musical, have the death of the  blacksmith/dentist spark the investigation

Instead of growing a giant, singing plant, the BBEG is raising carnivorous dinosaurs.

Gladiator Ring

Players are forced to fight in a gladiator ring against dinosaurs and other fighters

Players can try to escape, and take down the ring

They could also attempt to become the champion of the ring

Probably the best plot for a small party (3-4 at most)

The place is ran by necromancers/druids
