Re: Hollow Earth --Not!

 

Perhaps the Tunguska blast destabilized the rifts and they all closed...

Their re-opening could be part of a modern camaign or something set in the inter-war years. :thumbup: Crimson Skies over Pelucidor!!! :eg:

 

 

 

Actually, some kind of limited, open thousands of years ago, reopened now access to alternate world/lost continents would work for any era, and that suggests a thought.

Modern gun bunnies play Dark Champions instead of Pulp, because the modern world is just too durn serious. An interdimensional warp in the basement (and, yes, I know it's been done by S. M. Stirling. Can you see me sticking my tongue out from here?) or up some valley in Afghanistan changes everything.

The beautiful priest-princesses of the lost city of ape men wants to sacrifice the redblooded hero for spurning her advances, but Allah teaches compassion, and there are people to be saved from mind-controlling intelligent pterosaurs. And when he's down to the last round in his Swat-made .303 Lee Enfield and the bayonet is bent and bloody --he's rescued by a Predator firing Hellfires.

Of course, then the Mac Wangari will insist that the Taliban fighter and the CIA operative duel to the death to settle their rivalry before the survivor can be a blood brother and lead them on the warpath. "East is East and West is West," but that doesn't matter when "Two strong men come together, though they come from the ends of the Earth."* It takes two men to run a Stryker, and who cares about the concerns of the Old World when there are cave princesses to be rescued?
