A blog featuring the game related ramblings and ideas of a role-playing gamer since 1980. My interests include many games and gaming related topics, but my main focus will be on Open Ended Original Edition Old School Fantasy Adventure Sandbox Role Playing Games (OEOEFASRPG™) The Open-Ended Sandbox Exploration of Dungeons, Wilderness and Cities. Occasionally, other topics outside of gaming will be discussed here as well.

Land of the Lost
I remember watching Land of the Lost when I was growing up. It used to be part of my Saturday morning ritual when I was a child. I realize now that it would make a good premise for a campaign. None of us ever made the connection back in our youth but I would definitely dig playing in a LotL campaign even now. My suggestion is to only consider the original series canon. The update by Nickelodeon in the 1990's was not nearly as good and the recent movie was - let's just say there is a special spot in hell reserved for people that trample upon the childhood memories of others in such a fashion.

ReplyDeleteFor this reason Michael Bay will burn...
I think you became my new favorite with this blog. All hail the sleestak.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah the old Land of the Lost!
ReplyDelete@David: I couldn't agree more. What would you say would be his biggest offense - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Amityville Horror, The Hitcher, Transformers, Friday the 13th, or A Nightmare on Elm Street?
ReplyDelete@Tim: Thanks! lol...indeed, all hail the sleestak. The original sleestak looked great. The ones in the Nickelodeon "update" from the '90s were meh.
ReplyDelete@ Eldrad: I see you are a fan also? I have all 3 seasons of the original TV series on DVD.
ReplyDeleteI have the first two seasons on DVD, myself.
DeleteI simply couldn't justify spending money for the third season.
Too bad the Krofft brothers went for the lunch box marketing, rather than stick with what got them there (in relation to Land of the Lost); superb science fiction writing.
Notice I said writing.
Wesley? Pfft.
I only have the third season because I'm a completist and found it cheap at a used movie place. The third season is horrendous and I would never pay full price for that junk. The dad disappears and is replaced by the uncle? Garbage. Chaka stops speaking in a primitive manner and starts speaking English? More garbage. I don't even need to go further. My brain hurts just from recalling the despair from toughing it through season three. I think I feel a migraine coming on...
DeleteLUCKY!
ReplyDeleteHey Transformers was really good! Especially part III!
I just lumped Transformers in there so it would be a complete list of Bay updates...lol. I like Transformers also.
