I loved the original Sid & Marty Krofft series when I was a kid... wonder what I'd think of it now? But tell me this link to Geography & Technology of the LOTL doesn't inspire your appetite for Brontoburger!

Gates, dinosaurs, "undead", hidden subterranean god-creature, crashed spaceship... Sandbox, anyone? The quintessential sandbox - there is no "beyond the borders"! You're going to have to keep track of every single looted Sleestak crossbow bolt, because there is no Town, no Trader Caravans... also, no Hirelings, no Temples (well, one!)... In short, no "support", only what you can scrounge. Gold and gems would hold little value, but any kind of survival tool/aid would be priceless!
I'm DOING this!
Encounter Tables: lots of dinos, of course, giant-sized critters seem to "fit", perhaps a few more monstrous beasties underground, plus the occasional non-native, anything from 60's Surferboy (bad wave, man) to Judge Crater to a cunning Mind Flayer... subtable for determining if they are n00bs or long-term residents
Pylons: the keys to finding a way out, perhaps several or all must be discovered and used toward this end, perhaps each controls a certain aspect of the Land (seismic stability, temporal stasis, gravity, weather...)
Lost Vehicles: crashed WWI biplane, 1990 Jeep Range Rover, Egyptian Galley...
