sladethesniper Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 OK, going to be taking the CoC/Ravenloft game back to Earth and will wanting to do a "Hollow Earth" style adventure.... Does anyone know of any good Hollow Earth type stuff? I am torn between doing a classic hole in the ground Hollow Earth or turning into a psudeo-planar game where The Underdark is basically a planar location that connects to Arcadia/Commorragh/etc. and the Illithids are the underground dwelling larval form of Star Spawn... Ideas? -STS Quote Vhreaden: Blood, Steel and Iron Will is here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rust Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 The Hollow Earth Expedition roleplaying game contains lots of interesting ideas for a Hollow Earth campaign, although the focus is more on pulp action than on Cthulhoid horror. Still, if you could get a copy, preferably plus the "Mysteries of the Hollow Earth" supplement, you could save a lot of time and effort by using the locations and organizations described there. http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=Hollow+Earth+Expedition&quicksearch=1&search_filter=&filters=&search_free=&search_in_description=1&search_in_author=1&search_in_artist=1&x=8&y=6 Quote "Mind like parachute, function only when open."

Conrad Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Monsters of the Endless Dark is a supplement for the d20 system that details a whole underground ecology of monsters. The artwork varies from tolerable to bad, but the descriptions and ideas are well worth incorporating into a game.

seneschal Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Lands of Mystery details how to create just such a campaign. It was written for Hero System 4th edition but is mostly setting and advice. And it has CoC stats in the back, if I remember correctly.

sladethesniper Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 Well, I bought HEX and although the flavor text was pretty good, I think that I am still going to go with a psuedo-planar type thing: There are several permanent gates to different locations (similar to how the Plateau of Leng is coterminous with both Earth and the Cold Wastes)... The gates I have set up so far: Plateau of Leng = Cold Wastes North Polar Gate = Atvatabar (is inside a dyson sphere, thus why it is a "hollow earth", just not inside our Earth) Gharne = The Underdark (is a rogue planet...has no atmosphere, thus the only way to survive is by being deep underground)...sort of permanent hellish prison for entire races... Congo = Arcadia (filled with elves, a joyous place...that is constantly at war) Valley of Borovia = Ravenloft Need a place for this gate = Commoraugh Still going to need an adventure, but I think that I am going to use Dr. Leviticus Blue's "Incredible Bone-Shaking Drill Engine" as the McGuffin... Plus, the group is already familiar with planar horror, seeing as how they are stuck in Ravenloft double dealing Strahd and Azalin... Ideas welcome for plots. -STS Quote Vhreaden: Blood, Steel and Iron Will is here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
