Lastly you’ve got the US government covering up for you so you don’t have to worry about having repeated episodic adventures without the public twigging what’s going on.

Plummeting earthwards the chute billowed out behind her and she made as controlled a landing as was possible from such a low altitude. On the surface, everything appears as it does in our real world history books, but if you dig a little deeper you encounter secret societies and villainous organizations, many of whom have a vested interest in the Hollow Earth. Unable to decide what to do next because of too many greedy possibilities, I presented twelve options to my players and the most voted was Hollow Earth Expedition. I bought a copy of Sly Flourish‘s The Lazy GM a couple of months back having watched a great video by A Fistful Of Dice and realised quickly that it wasn’t aimed at a beginner GM however I took a lot of ideas from it and it gave me a direction to aim in. It has even been reported, although apparently without historical documentation, that Adolf Hitler was influenced by concave Hollow Earth ideas and sent an expedition in an unsuccessful attempt to spy on the British fleet by pointing infrared cameras up at the sky.I reason that Academics: Religion will cover more of the ancient gods and Occult the character is focused on, so I devote 5 points to that. There are no maps here, and since every entrance to the Hollow Earth could take the characters to a new and exciting land the GM has a lot of leeway to change the Hollow Earth as they desire. Stopping almost under the eaves of the primeval jungle she drew and fired the flare gun at the pursuing swarm of leather winged horrors. Hollow Earth proponents have claimed a number of different locations for the entrances which lead inside the Earth.

In his recent book Hollow, a religious studies professor who is mourning the loss of his son becomes fixated on the idea that the center of the Earth is inhabited by an advanced civilization. Our current geophysical outlook doesn't leave much room for an inhabited interior, but there's only one way to find out for sure.

Though Symmes himself never wrote a book on the subject, several authors published works discussing his ideas. I think likewise these games (among other stimuli) are helping me to identify directions I would like to explore with the aim of being able to run both these new games and better Pathfinder sessions.

Symmes became the most famous of the early Hollow Earth proponents, and Hamilton, Ohio even has a monument to him and his ideas. For example, in spherical coordinates, let radius r go to R 2/ r where R is the Earth's radius; see inversive geometry. Luck smiled at me: the archetypes chosen by my five players were easily inserted into my campaign idea. The concept of a hollow Earth still recurs in folklore and as a premise for subterranean fiction, a subgenre of adventure fiction. Given the lack of a working compass, radio beacon, maps and the perpetual noon it was accepted that it would be unlikely that a perfect trace of their course would be managed.

I decided to tell you how Hollow Earth Expedition made me think about creating an intriguing story to tell, going against some almost untouchable clichés. I understand this material was left out of HEX primarily because of size concerns, but also because HEX is more about exceptional (but, ultimately, human) people exploring strange new locales.
