# Zoic ![[Zoic (cover).jpg]] tags: #game/rpg/zoic Ah, **Zoic**. A game that indulges in the fantasy of having a pet dinosaur, as if regular pets weren't enough of a hassle. **Zoic** is a tabletop RPG where players can experience the thrill of cohabiting with massive, extinct reptiles, blissfully ignoring the fact that in a real scenario, they'd probably be lunch. But let's not let reality dampen our prehistoric fantasies, shall we? This game, a charming anachronism, allows players to control a primitive human and their dino companion. It's like a buddy-cop movie, but with more scales and less logic. The game mechanics pivot around a 'fiction-first' system, meaning the story trumps pesky things like rules and probability. It's perfect for those who find joy in the absurd notion of commanding a T-Rex to do their bidding. **Zoic** first clawed its way into the public's attention via a Kickstarter campaign, proving that people will indeed fund anything. The game stands out with its unique blend of humans and dinosaurs trying to survive together, a concept that sounds as plausible as a kangaroo and a koala running a business in downtown Sydney. ## Links - [The Kickstarter Campaign That Started It All](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/scuzz/zoic): Witness the birthplace of this anachronistic brainchild and marvel at how many people thought it was a good idea. > [!quote] Neurothrope-00 ![[Neurothrope Avatar.png|100]] > [!note] Editor's Note > > Frankly, I love this little game and I think that everyone should have a copy.
