So this is Umwelt, my female (I hope) Asian Forest Scorpion. She's exploring her new set up after I upgraded her tank after getting frustrated with an ant infestation. Now she's ant free and has a front opening tank!
You guys have been great to me when it comes to finding maps! Just wanna toss some I've made your way! Thank you guys as well as the creator of Two-Minute Tabletop for the assets!

So I'm working on a dinosaur ttrpg. One that focuses primarily on playing prehistoric creatures. Think of a non-human oriented Primal. Or Darbi the T-rex? Or just a violent land before time with higher elements of scientific realism.
The game itself is modular and its like a blend between the dice pool mechanics of year zero system from Free Leagues, the target number mechanic of Warhammer, some aspect of Wurm, WoD, and even Lancer to bring the dinosaurs and etc alive.
Been working on this game on and off for the past two years. And right now I'm starting to get a little stumped.
So each lineage (Tyrannosaurids, Spinosaurids, Titanosauria) gives you a Skeleton of traits and flaws. Generally three base with negative traits giving you additional positive ones. Or some traits balancing themselves out by having negatives and positive within themselves. These base traits are mainly common traits derived from facts we can derive from skeletons.
Once a lineage is chosen it gets fleshed out and customized with a few added traits to create your character. I did this so there is flexibility to keep maintaining scientifc accuracy if that is desired but at the same time allowing people to entertain GMs with speculative imaginations.
Oh, you want Tyrannosaurus to have a komodo dragon-like bite. Go ahead and select one of those sort of traits.
My question is with the paravians and avians. Should I bother making distinctions between them? Or just make a base skeleton for it?
And let people customize their little birds themselves.
So far I have Archaeopteryx-like Lineage, a Confusciornis-like, and a Enantiornithines. But I feel like they may just be better served being mashed together into a single bird lineage to build off of.
Obviously Microraptor just takes the Droamaesaurid lineage and tacks on bird stuff.
But thoughts?
So first off I've already acquired the soundtracks and etc for the games and the anime. So the question is what do you use after that?
So far I've enjoyed using these artists:
Grendel - The New Flesh - Maelstrom
Gorillas - Clint Eastwood (Instrumental/Karoake) - For Downtime
Pertubator - Just the band in general. Just so applicable.
The Midnight - Good for sappy stuff.
Moon Deity - Neon Blade 4 (If this song doesn't make you think of bikers beating each other at highspeed on a high way I don't know what to tell you.)
Babymetal - Oddly appropriate for Danger Gal.
