The heroes, natives of the Hollow Earth (plus one surface world dweller that found herself lost in the Hollow Earth), must fight their way out of the slave pits of Atlantis, through the back alleys and dark catacombs of the ancient city, and into the halls of ultimate power on a quest to save the girl, and expose an eons-lost secret that will shake Hollow Earth civilization to its core!

Can you let me know when you are? I can't access ENWorld from work, but I want to call dibs as soon as you say we can!

Cause I may not be able to have coffee, but pulp game first thing in the AM.... Instant Caffene!

Curse you and your accursed feminine wiles!

The issue is that I'm torn as to what to run.

OK, here's the deal: I have TWO different HEX adventures I want to run. One is insanely action-driven, with a fair amount of character interaction (some of it even potentially PvP!), running the gamut from a hair-raising encounter in the British Museum of London concluding with an epic battle in Antarctica.

The other is a more character-driven, potentially hilarious romp set in 1936 Haiti as a film crew, in which most of the characters really dislike one another, are making a zombie movie... that goes horribly wrong. In a very funny kind of way.

So... there you go. Until I figure out which one I want to run, any dibs on the game might be pointless.

Thoughts, input, preferences?

Well Tom, I'm dibbing YOU. So descriptions of your game matter not.

That said, they both sound really fun and at the moment I have no preference. I got to pepper spray a party member this gencon and that is the extent of my pvp action. It could be fun though. Course, anything with the word romp in it it usually fun too. So, yeah.

Think about the potential groups you'll be running for and then pick the game yourself.

I would like DIBS as well. ... Both of the ideas are liquid awesome with a pulp twist!

I will bake you a Tom only tin of mint brownies if you let me play whatever one you choose!
