Hollow Earth Expedition RPG

ADD TO WISHLIST >

First we discovered that the Earth is round.

Then we discovered that it’s hollow.

Now we must keep its secrets from falling into the wrong hands.

Explore one of the world’s greatest and most dangerous secrets: the Hollow Earth, a savage land filled with dinosaurs, lost civilizations, and ferocious savages! Players take on the roles of two-fisted adventurers, eager academics and intrepid journalists investigating the mysteries of the Hollow Earth. Meanwhile, on the surface, world powers and secret societies vie for control of what may be the most important discovery in all of human history.

Set in the tense and tumultuous 1930s, the action-filled Hollow Earth Expedition is inspired by the literary works of genre giants Edgar Rice Burroughs, Jules Verne, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The subterranean action is powered by Ubiquity, an innovative roleplaying system that emphasizes storytelling and cinematic action.

Definitely interested in a new run of hardcopies for the books in this system, assuming a revision isn't in the works. Hope a Kickstarter for one or the other is possible one of these days. Until then, I'll also keep an eye on a bundle package for the jewels of the HEX system PDFs. :)

So, has this been updated to read well on a tablet? I’d like to get it, but not until I understand what I’d be getting.

Nope. This is still the PDF of the earlier 8.5" x 11" version of the rules, and it's about 20 MB. If EGS would simply upload the PDF of the most current edition of the rules, which is a handy digest sized book, that would help a great deal, and it's been brought up more than once in more than one context, but for whatever reason, they seem unwilling to do that.

Thanks for replying. Frustrating it’s not updated.

My copy wouldn't work on a tablet either. Smallpdf.com is a free online PDF file compressor. I went there and compressed the HEX PDF from 40.8M down to an easily manageable 16M. It only took a few seconds. The compressed HEX works great on my tablet with no noticeable loss of resolution.

Very badly optimized! Impossible to read on a tablet with 20 sec loading time per Page.

Why does the PDF cost the exact same as the hardcopy? I would like to get this (already own paperback) but there is not way I am paying the same cost for the PDF.

I second the motion for an updated PDF. The smaller size would display better on my computer screen, it would have errata incorporated, and it would match the pagination of my physical book.

Is there ANY movement on this at all? Now that I'm moving more and more to PDF gaming, and own a tablet, the digest sized rulebook would work SO much better for me.

Just picked up the new paperback version. I love it. I would like to see an updated PDF to reflect any changes made for the new edition, preferably one that doesn't cost more than the dead tree version.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
