Game Setting: The Last Commute in Pridation

The podcast episode discusses a tabletop role-playing game called Pridation, which is set in a future where an inter-global conglomerate known as SETI sends commuters back in time to the late Cretaceous period. However, the time travel process breaks down, leaving the commuters stranded with dinosaurs. The game starts 100 years after this event, with players assuming the role of descendants of the original commuters. They must navigate a world filled with dinosaurs and try to survive the impending cataclysm that will wipe out most life on the planet. The game offers various character types, such as the aggressive Corns, the knowledge-focused Tex, the versatile Terricks, and the storytelling Austenans. Players can also have dinosaurs as companions, with each dinosaur having its own abilities and personalities. The game incorporates time anomalies that bring in elements from different eras, providing unique challenges and opportunities for the players.
