The only boxed set that I can give my highest recommendation for any campaign world - Aaron Allston's classic of untold adventure! Once your players finally begin to grow weary of your wondrous world of fantasy, and they've plunged into the deepest realms of the Drow and the Underdark, why not give them a shocking revelation - an entire world of wonder magically sustained at the world's core! Best of all, due to its alien nature and absolute forgotten nature, the Hollow World set integrates cleanly in any campaign - be it Mystara, Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, or one of your own devising. The creators have taken this into full consideration, because there are complete conversion rules for AD&D as well. Contents include: The giant 128-page DM's book, a 64-page Player's Book dedicated solely to making fascinating new PCs (or converting veterans), four colossal world maps, and a 32-page book of epic adventures in a truly majestic setting - dinosaurs still roam in the twilight, the horizons curve strangely upwards, and magic known to no one awaits... a wonderful set, highly recommended.

A well-developed campaign world that centers mostly around Bronze Age rather than the classic medieval times, Hollow World features savage gameplay in a world with limited magic where almost everything is observed by the gods that are concerned with prservation of cultural identities. The world features several classic cultures (pseudo-Romans, pseudo-Greeks, etc.) and vast jungle landscapes. Also very well described are the species and cultures, each with its own section on names, customs, and gameplay information. Also included are several adventures. A good buy.
