What is this French book Hollow Earth Expedition: Raiders of Adventure? Looks cool. Is it a French translation of one of the HEX books or is it a new French-only book?
(see it here or here )
The translations make it seem like its a new/separate book. If it is a French Exclusive, any chance it could be translated and released here (here as in USA)?

It was mentioned here in the forums. There is some discussion regarding an English translation in the thread, but nothing definite.

Yes, this is a French exclusive production and it's full of pulp pictures and a lot of stuff for HEX... and other pulp games as adventures have only stats for npcs. No skill tests for example, just some leads/tips. You do as you see fit with you own game. My only regret is that there is no Pellucidar-like adventure.
For your eyes only :

Thanks for the pics! Looks great. I also like the margin tabs ( I presume they are per chapter- useful!)

The other discussion's description mentioned something about a Pellucidar article. Is that actually included?

This is only a passage from Tarzan at the Earth's Core. There is a lot of fluff in this book and a lot of "pulp spirit" that floats above all this good stuff. But this concerns essentially the Surface - except for one adventure. I hope the publisher will release Raider of Adventures 2 with more HE stuff!

| Huh. This looks like an interesting supplement. How would you rate it, Pistou? It sounds like you like it. Does it measure up to the HEX stuff we get in English? |

Here is a feedback on this supplement. It is filled with good fluff but my concern is that this is a generalist pulp supplement more than a really HEX supplement. Even if there are articles for the HE and the Surface, I shall have preferred to read a direct exploitation of what is presented in the previous supplements of the line. There are a lot of stuff and and many leads and for that it's great. It remains an recommended purchase... if you like the french touch!  |

I was looking into this book in more detail and was wondering if it might at least be made available to us English speaking HEX lovers as a pdf?
