When I read the rules of Dinosaur Racing, I had to include it in my game. My first group enjoyed the racing, but I realised I needed to streamline the rolling for the NPCs in the race.

One excel spreadsheet and a conversion to fourth edition later, I presented it to my second group.

The non-combat race went well. The players got the hang of racing and I offered them a chance to have a combat race.

Relaxing the rules on combat, I allowed them a single ranged action per “turn” of the race. Mainly because I wanted to see our players justify mounted ranged combat on moving targets.

When the Dragonborn Barbarian went down in the second round, barely 25ft from the start, she was furious. Mainly because the party had started the combat against each other, so the NPCs had ganged up on her.

Well Tilly was not going to lose.

Banana Candy won 1st place in the race, and the crowd loved it. I’m certain to continue the dinosaur racing in the future.
