This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: K Peterson;628658You probably wouldn't like it anyway, Pundit. Bruce Baugh has a writing credit in it (1 of 7 writers). ;)

I thought so, yeah...

Seriously, Pundit, I'd give it a try sometime. It's definitely no storygame, unless you count the use of Drama Points, which I know you don't. And man, does the author ever get Lost World pulp.

Well sure its not a storygame. Baugh doesn't write storygames (at least, to my knowledge he hasn't), he's known for writing pretentious white-wolf-Swine RPG material.  Lots of stuff about how significant the game is, an implication of smugness and superiority, and very little of anything to really differentiate it from any other rpg when you get past all the bullshit claims of profundity.

Ah, I see. Well, I can assure you that there's nothing remotely pretentious about Hollow Earth Expedition. It's all about exploring lost civilizations, running from rampaging dinosaurs, and fighting Nazis. Total movie serial stuff.

Honestly, Pundit, while I wouldn't claim to have a lock on your gaming tastes, I'd be mildly stunned if you didn't like this one.

Its possible you could be right; I honestly don't know, having looked into very little about this game.  But I don't know that I feel much need to do so either, since I have my pulp needs pretty much filled.

Fair enough. I just didn't want to see you pass up a game I think you'd like based on a mistaken perception.
