02-08-06, 08:08 PM Are there Dinosaurs in Forgotten Realms? I am asking, because a player of mine wants to play a druid, and I need to know if they are in Faerun for the Wild Shape ability. Thanks.

02-09-06, 02:59 AM They can be found in the Jungles of Chult, so yes there would be dinosaurs, but unless the druid is from that region, or from a city that likes exotic "bread and circuses" they might never have even heard of one.

Ditto.

Many people think of Chult as an African setting...but it's not.

It's more of an H.G. Wells Lost-World-type of place.

02-09-06, 12:18 PM Which movie are you talking about... I remember the B&W one, the first technicolor one and its sequal, that one that was cut up and shown at a certain time for three days, and then there's the one that was made into a TV series.
