OSR Commentary On The Lexicon Geographicum Arcanum vol 1 Species of the Hollow Earth By Andrew Marrington For The Lamentations of the Flame Princess Rpg

  Lexicon Geographicum Arcanum vol 1 Species of the Hollow Earth By Andrew Marrington is one of those campaign setting books that deserves more time in the light. Years ago we did a review on and then nothing. 

The campaign's review is something that I'm going to stick by; "What the 'volume of Lexicon Geographicum Arcanum' does is provide the Dungeon Master & his players with a richly detailed setting book that sets up the traditional Mentzer Dungeons & Dragons races into a social wedding cake of civilizations, cultures, etc. that all hit the high notes of mythology & pop culture. This is based around the take of the author/designer Andrew Marrington who does an excellent job for taking a home campaign series of notes into a fully fleshed out setting book. The lay out is exceptional & the artwork very nicely done." What makes The Lexicon Geographicum Arcanum vol 1 Species of the Hollow Earth By Andrew Marrington exceptional is the attention to details; ' These empires don't simply include the usual Dwarven, Elven, & Halflings. Instead we have Formorians & Neanderthals whose might is both black magick itself & very subtle within this inner Earth. There a consistency of alternative PC classes & solid work here for the players to digest.'

And yesterday I was looking into possibly using 'The Lexicon Geographicum Arcanum vol 1 ' as buffer with Rafael Chandler's 'World of the Lost'. There's so much crossover potential here because of the Hollow Earth aspect. 

Crossing these two fantastic LoFP resources could potentially give the DM tons of options to set adventures within an LoFP Hollow Earth with competing non human empires with the LoFP player's PC's trying to exploit the situation. You know this isn't going to go well at all. 

Between getting in dutch with the dinosaurs, the dwarven nation, and more it's only a matter of time before the inner world locks in on events happening in Europe. And yes we're looking England Upturn'd here. Because of the English Civil War's events the Hollow World and it's armies might just have an easy time to take the upper world quite easily. Between plague, violence, and more it doesn't take a great deal strikes against Europe to take the entire chess board. And what a campaign that would make.
