I like fantasy/adventure books that take place in hidden worlds or have ancient creatures but I don’t really know any books that are similar to Dinotopia
I just saw Soviets video and when I saw what this game is I just have to know if there's a Dinotopia RP Server based off the old TV show Dinotopia?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had a copy or recording or anything of the special feature to the Dinotopia TV series, “Evolution: The Making of Dinotopia.” My Dad is in it as an interviewee of the film, so I wanted to get a HD video or recording of some sort so I can show it at our next family gathering. Thank you if anyone would be able to help me out :)
Reading James Gurney's worldbuilding classic, Dinotopia, I came across an in-story group of filkers, the village of Bilgewater and the Celestial Navigators.
>As I began sketching Marlinspike's portrait, he told me the story of Bilgewater. "Two hundred and thirty years ago," he said, "our ancestors were aboard the Prince of the Seas, the Royal Vanguard, and the Advance. They challenged the Spanish Armada returning from Manila, but they were outgunned and surrounded. It was certain death. They led a chase, and by good fortune they escaped through the outer reefs and storms that surround Dinotopia. Eventually the vessels struck and sank, but all hands were rescued by dolphins. When they first came ashore they though they had been delivered to paradise. In time they realized that life here is long, but not everlasting, nor is nature always kind."
>
>“How were the ships brought here?” I asked.
>
>“Elias Marlinspike, my great-great-grandfather, dreamed of rescuing the ships, for the ships had rescued us. He believed that if the ships saved our lives once, they might save us again one day. We floated the ships with the help of the saurians and brought them overland to this place. Our life is good now. But dark days will return. And when they do, we stand ready for the next voyage.”
>
>“Not a sea voyage,” I observed, noting the telescope, the armillary sphere, and the chart of constellations.
>
>“No, a voyage to the stars. On that day, our ships will rise up and be made whole, and they will bring us to the other side of the sunset, to the buckle on the belt of Orion.”
>
>“When do you expect this to happen?” I asked.
>
>“The ships will tell us. Whenever they sense that we’re in danger, they begin to lift. Whenever there are storms, or floods, or eruptions, they groan and pull upward on their hawsers. If, heaven forbid, Earth itself should ever strike a reef and sink, these will be our lifeboats. Mr. Denison and Bix, others have joined us. You can, too.”
The Navigators are essentially a cargo cult based around the premise of escaping disaster via spaceflight, and yes, they have music about doing so.
Sail Away:
>We'll gather up our brethren,
we'll cast away our burdens,
we'll sail away and make our home in heaven.

Review: Dinotopia by James Gurney
This was originally four reviews on my blog, but I’ve combined them into a single review to be posted here.
Dinosaurs have captured the imaginations of many people, myself included for generations. Wouldn't it be something to get to see living dinosaurs? Preferably, without getting killed. Just what would a world where humans and dinosaurs co-existed look like? Well, in the book series we're reviewing today, all of that and much more is possible. We're taking a look at Dinotopia by James Gurney. We start with book one, A Land Apart From Time by James Gurney.
Dinotopia begins in the year 1862. Father and son Arthur and Will Denison have been on a two year voyage of discovery. They been washed up on a mysterious island following a particularly nasty storm in the South Pacific. Ah, but this isn't just any island, it's Dinotopia! It is an island where dinosaurs survived the K-T extinction and live side-by-side with humans. The book follows the Denisons as they explore the strange and wonderful world of Dinotopia.
Technically, this is a picture book, but it isn't just for kids. The texts tends to be fairly substantive paragraphs, and while there's isn't anything inappropriate, there are a few jokes and references that older readers would be more likely to catch. For example, when Arthur and Will attend a performance of hadrosaurs, Arthur remarks that he hasn't hear such a ruckus since he sat-in on a meeting of congress. The text and illustrations work together to tell the story. As such, I consider this to be something of an honorary comic book.
James Gurney used to work as an illustrator for National Geographic, and it certainly show in his art. All of the illustrations are photorealistic watercolor paintings. Gurney even went as far as to build miniatures and models just to make sure that the visions in his head were represented in their full glory. The man has some serious dedication to his craft, and the book is all the better for it.
I'm not sure that I'd call this book alternate history per se. Other than the existence of Dinotopia, and they made a point of stay out of world affairs, the world isn't too different than our own. It's more akin to those 19th Century adventure stories where the heroes find lost world's and exotic new lands. In fact, the framing story is that the book is an adaption of a long-lost jo
