Introduction

Welcome to the world of Cretasus! Cretasus is the setting for

Dinosaur Planet: Broncosaurus Rex , a game world where cow-

boys use laser rifles to hunt dinosaurs. If you haven’t read the

Dinosaur Planet: Broncosaurus Rex Core Rulebook, you might

want to do so before continuing in the Cretasus Adventure Guide.

You could use this book in any d20 setting, but it is best suited to

Dinosaur Planet: Broncosaurus Rex .

We have divided the Cretasus world into several volumes.

This first, the Adventure Guide, will give you all the information

you need to start adventuring in the planet’s Main Valley, the most

settled area of Cretasus. Future works will cover new dinosaur

species and specific regions in greater detail, as well as some of

the other great valleys of Cretasus.

For those of you unfamiliar with Dinosaur Planet:

Broncosaurus Rex , it is set in the year 2202. Dinosaurs have been

discovered on the planet Cretasus. The two main factions in

human politics – the Union and the Confederacy – rush to estab-

lish a military presence, even as pioneers from across the galaxy

come to farm, hunt, and domesticate the dinos.

Settlers on Cretasus have identified hundreds of varieties of

dinosaurs virtually identical to those once found on Earth.

Prehistoric mammals have been sighted in neighboring regions,

engendering theories that the planet’s massive surface area has

created numerous micro-climates separated by mountains or other

impassable terrain. Some micro-climates have remained “frozen”

in evolutionary time or have evolved along unusual lines, while

others have evolved more normally. The result is widely different

ecological results in close proximity to each other.

Some of the dinosaurs are the classic dumb brutes we all

know so well. But most are not. Velociraptors have near-human

intelligence. They live in organized tribes which loosely connect

into larger nations. Tyrannosaurus rex live in widely dispersed

family groups whose members remember genealogies for hun-

dreds of years. Triceratops travel in large herds with rigorous

social organization. Almost every species has its own language,

and the more intelligent ones have dialects specific to each region.

Even though Cretasus is far outside established political bor-

ders, it has been brought to the forefront of galactic politics by its

Earth-like environment and abundance of dinosaurs. The

dinosaurs have great potential as weapons and beasts of burden, a

point not lost on either the Confederacy or Union generals.

Although the Union and Confederacy long ago ceased open war-

fare, they have never ended hostilities. Now the battle for Cretasus

threatens to re-open a centuries-old conflict.

Characters can choose from six new character classes pre-

sented in the Broncosaurus Rex Core Rulebook: Bronco Rider,

Machinist, Soldier, Spy, Two-Fister, and Wild One. They can be

Union or Confederate, staunch loyalists or complete impartials, or

they may hail from one of several independent factions.

Adventures abound on the newly settled planet, with aliens, warp

pirates, the dinosaur nations, intergalactic trade, and rustlers,

ranchers, robbers, and wranglers to round out the universe.
