Go with the book characters though

[Kassiopeia]

I've read the book only once, so my knowledge on the characters is more than a bit iffy. Hm.

[Kuciwalker]

Well, the differences are important. Of the top of my head...

Dr. Grant was the same.
Dr. Satler
Timmy was the computer nerd, who also always had "dinosaurs on the brain"
His older sister was a sports person
Hammond was a bad character, and died
Muldoon was black, IIRC
Nedry was about the same
Wu was a much bigger character, and was a "bad" character (he died too, IIRC)
In the movie, the lawyer was actually a merger of two characters. I'll look them up later. Both were evil, but only one died
The vet, Dr. Hardy, was a bigger character, but about the same. I forget if he dies or not.
Malcom was even cooler in the book (can I be him?)
Arnold was about the same, though a bigger character (they were all bigger, of course, cuz it's a book)

That's twelve. I'm sure there are a few more that I've forgotten. We can also have technicians, the helicopter pilot(s), the captain of the ship, etc.

Adagio: No... not the thumbs down!

Ah, if you couldn't tell, I was mostly being silly, although if Kass wants to be silly as well, he's certainly free to use dinos as characters.

Kuci: Seems about right. The other bad guy was the public-relations guy in the lawyer merger... what was his name? (shuffle shuffle) Ah, here it is, Ed Regis. I don't recall Dr. Wu as being "evil" so much, by the way. He had a cute tiny elephant with a cold! Which he used to attract investors. Awww.

I don't know what they were thinking with Hammond in the movie. He was Captain Evil Capitalist in the book, caring only about making tons of money, while he was senile ol' Grandpa in the movie who only cared about giving dreams to children, or some sillyness.

Oh, and let's not forget about the random Asian cook. I forget if he or she had a name or not.

It's not appropriate for the book, but we could also stick Lews Dodgson on the island as well, the guy who hired Nedry to do the industrial espionage. Came to check up and make sure the job was done right, or something.

[Kassiopeia]

I was thinking of trying to set up an entirely new set of characters with some characters, shall I say, strongly inspired by the "real" ones. So you'd have the evil capitalist owner there, but he wouldn't necessarily be old, a man, or called Hammond. That sort of thing. (Of course, that means more work for me. Hmmm.)

Year before last we analyzed the book in English. He's "evil" in that sense - like, he was a "bad guy" from Crichton's POV.

I'll sign up but only if we don't do multiple personalities.

I think it would be more interesting with real characters from the books.

[Tuberski]

I'm in, if there is room.

ACK!

[Frozzy]

I'm in, if there is room.

[Kassiopeia]

I think it would be more interesting with real characters from the books.

But I don't think I have enough knowledge of the books. If someone else, like Kuciwalker or you, wants to GM with Jurassic Park, go right ahead. Then again the knowledge supplied before probably suffices, it's not like I'm writing a novel or anything.

[Kuciwalker]

I could try it...

[Kassiopeia]

If you will, I will take your player slot. Always nice to have a new GM. Are you fine with 24 players?

So the list would then be:

1. Whoha
2. Spaced Cowboy
3. Method
4. Gamecube64
5. Jonny
6. rah
7. Ljube-ljcvetko
8. SnowFire
9. Hercules
10. Kuciwalker/Kassiopeia
11. loinburger
12. joncha
13. FlameFlash
14. Ben Kenobi
15. Skanky Burns
16. Duke o' york
17. Adagio
18. DrSpike
19. gjramsey
20. Tuberski
21. DarkCloud
22. Kalius
23.
24.

Or we could go ahead with the 22 we have now.

[DrSpike]

Let's start.
