It's all I ever played. (Not by choice.)

2021-02-23 23:13:17 UTC  

Oh, it was miserable.

2021-02-23 23:13:38 UTC  

I got all the books for 5E and resources up for a campaign

2021-02-23 23:13:42 UTC  

It's a large part of what inspired me to create my own system.

2021-02-23 23:14:06 UTC  

The running joke in my campaign was that the conspiracy theorists at the taverns would say that the Underdark doesn't really exist, it's all a hoax, and would suggest the players look into "Solid Earth Theory."

2021-02-23 23:14:40 UTC  

XD uhm, hollow earth is it's own system and setting based on the old pulp series

2021-02-23 23:15:05 UTC  

Right, but it's also a conspiracy theory with 100% convinced believers.

2021-02-23 23:15:14 UTC  

would be funny to add "Solid earth" conspiracy theorists

2021-02-23 23:15:46 UTC  

They seriously believe mole people are a thing living in a massive civilization below ground, with a giant light-bulb energy source.

2021-02-23 23:15:56 UTC  

will say the creators of the system get props for not apologizing for their use of nazis in game

2021-02-23 23:16:49 UTC  

Anybody who apologizes for using Nazis in their games is stupid, I don't care how offensive they are, everyone fucking loves killing Nazis.

2021-02-23 23:17:20 UTC  

these are pulp fiction nazis so you get some craziness like indiana jones face melting nazis stuffs

2021-02-23 23:17:43 UTC  

Pulp is awesome. You know what Dieselpunk is?

2021-02-23 23:17:47 UTC  

mhm

2021-02-23 23:18:37 UTC  

stuff isn't dieselpunk but it could easily be translated if it weren't for the rest of the setting like the dinosaurs or the atlantean prison in Antarctica

2021-02-23 23:19:27 UTC  

or traveling to mars and meeting 8 foot tall 4 armed women

2021-02-23 23:21:44 UTC  

Sounds like the old Jules Verne/ Edgar Rice Burroughs stuff.

2021-02-23 23:22:11 UTC  

that's what pulp is, or at least the stuff that the creators of the hollow earth system took heavy inspiration from

2021-02-23 23:29:24 UTC  

here's a list of what they used for inspiration

2021-02-23 23:29:44 UTC  

the list of books is on another two pages

2021-02-23 23:32:18 UTC  

Yeah, I know what pulp is. I grew up with it. LOL

2021-02-23 23:32:31 UTC  

I'm just a little medicated right now.

2021-02-23 23:34:28 UTC  

ah, I'm still kind of ignorant about like 99% of the settings but I know they did quite a bit with it

2021-02-23 23:35:54 UTC  

Sort of funny that they used all the old pulp sources *except* the books and pulp magazines.

2021-02-23 23:36:10 UTC  

the books and magazines are on another page

2021-02-23 23:36:31 UTC  

takes like 2 pages

2021-02-23 23:36:36 UTC  

Durr...Sorry, my mistake.

2021-02-23 23:37:37 UTC  

Walking away before I embarass myself more.

2021-02-23 23:38:00 UTC  

(Not fast enough, apparently. LOL)

2021-02-23 23:38:04 UTC  

nah you're fine man

2021-02-23 23:38:06 UTC  

Hey, if you're doing a DnD game, why not add the Mongoose and Meerkat from Jim Breyfogle's series? They're characters in a series of sword and sorcery short stories published by Cirsova Magazine. Last year a collection of those short stories was produced and content for DnD campaigns drawn up. You can find out more about it here: https://cirsova.wordpress.com/2020/04/21/and-almost-finished-with-game-content/

2021-02-23 23:39:01 UTC  

I'll have to look at it later, built a west marches that I'm trying to get off the ground

2021-02-23 23:40:56 UTC  

when you spend a month worldbuilding a west marches campaign and no one will play it

2021-02-23 23:44:18 UTC  

Heh. I spent two months putting together a short Ghostbusters run last year, two days before we were supposed to start, everyone bailed.

2021-02-23 23:45:20 UTC  

west marches have no set schedules it's literally just a "Play as you go" kind of deal, and even then

2021-02-23 23:45:29 UTC  

Wait, ronin, I know you.

2021-02-23 23:45:52 UTC  

Height, hair color, eye color, and favorite firearm. What are they?

2021-02-23 23:46:00 UTC  

LOL

2021-02-23 23:46:10 UTC  

I don't like guns.

2021-02-23 23:46:31 UTC  

Yeah, well, the story has guns and you ain't runnin' around with a katana.
