In Part One<\/a> of my overview of my weird science-fantasy campaign, I highlighted some of my S&S fiction influences of the setting, but not the more pure Sci-Fi and graphic art elements that helped to shape the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see in the Artume Campaign Guide from the previous article, the setting takes place in a hollow world created by a chaos godling and has certain features that were inspired by fiction and film. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hollow World of Artume<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The idea of a hollow world lit by an internal sun is certainly nothing new in science-fantasy fiction. French author Jules Verne published Journey to the Center of the Earth<\/a> in English in 1871, Willis George Emerson wrote The Smoky God<\/a> in 1908 and Edgar Rice Burroughs brought us the world of Pellucidar<\/a> starting in 1914.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interior of Artume is divided into different domains that are stages for me to host the sandbox RPG adventures and they each have a distinct environment and “flavor” to them. The Lunar Wastes and the Moondust Sea are influenced by the novels and films of Dune by Frank Herbert<\/a>, the oddball ’70s film The Boy and His Dog<\/a> (adapted from a Harlan Ellison story) as well as the anime film Nausica\u00e4 of the Valley of the Wind<\/a>. The look and feel of the wastelands was also shaped and influenced by the artwork of Moebius<\/a>, Philippe\u00a0Druillet<\/a>, and Wayne Barlowe<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
