History Roleplay / DinoAttackRPG

''Dino Attack RPG'' is the longest-running LEGO-based RPG on Website/{{BZPower}}, its host site. The original ''Dino Attack RPG'' could be found [[http://web.archive.org/web/20121010225505/http://www.bzpower.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=181493 here]]. After the [=BZPower=] forum upgrade, ''Dino Attack RPG'' was finished in the form of ''Dino Attack: At War's End'', which can be found [[http://web.archive.org/web/20131023191722/http://www.bzpower.com/board/index.php?showtopic=3955 here]]. Unfortunately, ''Dino Attack RPG'' ultimately got ScrewedByTheNetwork on both fronts; the original ''Dino Attack RPG'', along with the rest of the [=BZPower=] Forum Archive, was lost in a hacking incident, while ''At War's End'' was turned into [[http://www.bzpower.com/board/index.php?showtopic=3955 an unreadable wall of text]] following a formatting update on the new forums. As a result, for those who may be potentially interested in reading the original RPG, [=BZPower=] is not the website to use.

[[http://dinoattackrpg01.wikia.com/wiki/Dino_Attack_RPG_Wiki Has its own wiki]], [[TheWikiRule obviously]]. In fact, during the DevelopmentHell between ''Dino Attack RPG'' and ''Dino Attack: At War's End'', the writers kept themselves busy by writing this very TV Tropes page on the wiki.

->''"One would think that the two Dino Attack agents had the upper hand due to their sniping post, but the veteran agents knew that one should never believe in impossibilities in a war where Mutant T-Rexes could lay eggs in banks and not break much... a war so chock-full of personal stories that the database read like a convoluted TV show that made LOST look simple."''

Instead, [=PeabodySam=] and [=Andrewnuva199=] compiled the RPG into two downloadable archives for ''[[https://dinoattackrpg02.fandom.com/wiki/Downloadable_Archive Dino Attack RPG]]'' and ''[[http://www.mediafire.com/download/k3ks468uis6ono8/AtWarsEnd_(2).zip Dino Attack: At War's End]]''. These archives include editor's notes to establish continuity and canonicity, as well as filling in [[MissingEpisode gaps]] for the original RPG.

Starting in 2016, a ComicBookAdaptation titled ''[[https://andrewberm.wixsite.com/mustachemaniacs/comics-2/Dino-Attack%3A-Saga-of-a-Conflict DINO ATTACK: Saga of a Conflict]]'' was being developed by [[https://andrewberm.wixsite.com/mustachemaniacs Mustache Maniacs Film Co.]], a group best known for making [[StopMotion brickfilms]]. A trailer can be viewed [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3pQjlBRhoc here]], advertising the comic and the tie-in playsets. More playsets were planned but ultimately cancelled in April 2018, while the comic was reworked into an introduction to the RPG rather than a complete adaptation.

... [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids Wait, this is based upon an unpopular half-year]] ''[[Franchise/{{LEGO}} LEGO line]]''?

''Dino Attack RPG'' is a [[PlayByPostGames text-based]] RolePlayingGame revolving around the conflict of Man Versus PrehistoricMonster... [[RecycledInSpace in a]] [[AfterTheEnd post-apocalyptic setting]].

Instead, [=PeabodySam=] and [=Andrewnuva199=] compiled the RPG into two downloadable archives for ''[[http://www.mediafire.com/file/9n1q4k6fcauzhm2/Dino_Attack_RPG_Archive_v2.1.zip/file Dino Attack RPG]]'' and ''[[http://www.mediafire.com/download/k3ks468uis6ono8/AtWarsEnd_(2).zip Dino Attack: At War's End]]''. These archives include editor's notes to establish continuity and canonicity, as well as filling in [[MissingEpisode gaps]] for the original RPG.

To commemorate the RPG's fifteenth anniversary in 2020, [=PeabodySam=] released ''Dino Attack RPG: Director's Cut'', with an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hx7-n2T9l4k announcement trailer]] on [=YouTube=]. The Director's Cut is an extensive ReCut of the original RPG with consistent formatting and canon for an improved reading experience. The Director's Cut can be read on [[http://www.bzpower.com/board/topic/29405-dino-attack-rpg-directors-cut/ BZPower]] or [[https://www.deviantart.com/peabodysam/art/Dino-Attack-RPG-Director-s-Cut-Chapter-0-847366424 DeviantArt]], or downloaded in [[https://www.mediafire.com/file/y2m2uptbrnujejj/Director%2527s_Cut_v1.1_%2528DOCX%2529.zip/file DOCX]] or [[https://www.mediafire.com/file/42141j6t3o568he/Director%2527s_Cut_v1.1_%2528PDF%2529.zip/file PDF]] format.

First created in 2005 in a small corner of the internet, the ''Dino Attack RPG'' defied expectations and proved popular enough to run over seven years. It followed the life stories of [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters hundreds of characters]] all at once, and occasionally the paths of the characters would cross and result in team-ups or ridiculous conflicts. After a dark age in which the RPG lost most of its audience, it rose from the ashes with a new system that forced players to team up on [[StoryArc overly-long drawn-out quests]] that [[ShaggyDogStory sometimes end in failure]]. In addition to being confusing as heck, it's full of [[AnyoneCanDie death]], [[TrueArtIsAngsty despair]], [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder betrayal]], [[FamilyUnfriendlyViolence violence]], and [[ApocalypseWow destruction]].

Directly inspired by ''Roleplay/AlphaTeamMissionDeepFreezeRPG'', this {{Play By Post|Games}} RolePlayingGame takes the idea of [[Franchise/{{LEGO}} LEGO's]] shortlived ''[[Toys/LEGODinoAttack Dino Attack]]'' line and runs with it, depicting the entire LEGO Planet in a [[AfterTheEnd post-apocalyptic state]] thanks to the rampages of these [[PrehistoricMonster Mutant Dinosaurs]]. In addition, it creates [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters a wide cast of characters]], each with his or her own extensive backstory, as they band together to take on the Mutant Dino threat. This war takes the cast to {{Nostalgia Level}}s inspired by everyone's favorite LEGO themes while creating new and original storylines. This AdaptationExpansion answers many of the original toyline's unsolved mysteries, such as the origins of the Dino Attack, and brings it to places DarkerAndEdgier than The LEGO Group could have possibly imagined.
