I think Judges Guild used the subscale of this in the 1 hex = 55 feet for the village/castle/caves book right?Īnyway it wouldn’t be hard do make the big hex maps for the two lower scales. Maybe the quarter mile scale is good for areas like the caves of chaos and the keep on the borderlands, big areas. Another common use of hex graph paper is for the organic chemistry class. My closest personal analogy I have now is that each quarter-mile hex represents the distance of a NYC avenue block that I can walk.īut even then, wouldn’t most medieval towns, villages, and castles only take two of these hexes. This hex grid paper consists of multiple connecting lines that form smaller. But thinking of hexes as 1320 feet kinda slips through my mental space.

In my mind I can conceptualize hexes of on a map representing half a day’s walk, and I can conceptualize a square on a grid being an area 5’ or 10’ square in a dungeon. You also point out some the reasons why I never really dug hexes on the quarter-mile scale and why I didn’t make it with the other three on the first pass.

The plan is to print B&W line-art maps in a gazetteer and then provide color digital copies or something of that nature. The color maps really are just for looking up close or for on the computer. In terms of readability, with all the crazy digital tools available, it is interesting to tweak the texture of the numbers on the map so it is not too intrusive but still functional for locating hexes. I have to say it is my war-gaming fandom that comes through in my hex-maps. You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post. I think you showed me a diagonal hex grid reference on a map you brought in and my eyes crossed because I had never seen one before. It does have the border, but you can crop the map down per the instructions in Mod Guide 1 on maps. Note that the icons and pattern fills of my maps are slightly different from hex to hex iconography of Hexographer so YMMV. I think it will just take some talking to the ACKS & Hexographer poobahs. I am not personally opposed to making some icons and items for use in hexographer, although I am unfamiliar with the software.
