He coined the "Lost World" genre with a novel brilliantly titled "The Lost World." It takes a group of Victorian adventurers to a plateau in South American where dinosaurs still existed. Part of his Professor Challenger series. A decent read.[mild spoilers on Verne novels & movies]The Verne novel is the other half of this coin. In it, they never do make it to the Center of the Earth. They find themselves in a series of caverns and eventually emerge on the coast off of Italy through a volcano.There was a cartoon series called Journey to the Center of the Earth in the 70s. Had some cool ideas and some silly ones, like the giant bees that were going to cook the adventurers into their honey. I recall at least two movies. One was a Ray Harryhausen one. I only have foggy memories of that. The other came out in the 80s I think, with Peter Cushing as one of the stars. They did find themselves in a cavern with dinosaurs, etc, but I don't remember if there was a sun or not.These different legends possibly also came together with other stories of hidden lands and cavern dwellings. There's part of an old DC comic book that mentions Eden as at the South Pole and being sunk into the ice. In the old <a href="http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showbook&bookid=1535" target="_blank">Lands of Mystery</a>  supplement for Hero Games there was a lengthy bit about a hollow earth that I adapted for a Justice Inc game.But to answer the question, no, I hadn't thought about it for my current game taking place on a round world. (Leaving aside the one taking place on a universe of roads.) <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
