Raptor Ruckus RPG

by Snapback Game Studios

Claw your way through a park on the edge of extinction. A survival horror tabletop game.

This campaign has a very short amount of time left but I really like and wanted to give it a boost as the first in a new column looking at crowdfunding campaigns. The Raptor Ruckus Kickstarter campaign finishes on September 25th 2025, although for anyone interested after that date I’m sure you’ll be able to pre-order (or even order if you’re reading this after August 2026!) the game through details which should be supplied on the campaign page by then.

In the meantime there are some free downloads for you to browse, and try, Free Downloads: Quickstart PDF, Character Sheets, & Extinction Team Bravo Fiction

Welcome to Raptor Ruckus––a rules light, d20 tabletop roleplaying game where the fences are down, the power’s out, and you’re back at the bottom of the food chain! It’s survival horror by way of Dinosaurs circa 1993.

This is a self-contained game that uses the award-winning MÖRK BORG framework but overhauled, expanded, and re-imagined. Getting into a bloody fight will be the last thing on your list of priorities.

Here, you’ll be focused on scavenging supplies, counting bullets, and evading carnivores; all the while trying to push that rising panic further into your gut. Heck, you’re just a dude/dudette trying to find your way out of this amusement park from Hell.

Best case scenario? You solve one of the dozen or so mysteries around the island, maybe steal an embryo or two, and manage to get off this rock with your skin partially intact. 

Worst case scenario? You’re still alive when they start to eat you…

Raptor Ruckus is everything you need to play. It’s a Survival Horror Sourcebook with easily hackable ideas, tables, and tools for use in any RPG set where life is cheap in the modern era. It’s also an homage to vibes and storytelling from the 80s and 90s, especially stuff Dinosaur and monster stuff!
