Terrain, weather, and severe weather dice for RPG hex crawls.
Because we needed more dice. No really, we needed more dice...
-
Ken's prepping for an overland journey in his Shadowdark campaign, and thinking about weather.
The weather "hex flower" approach at Goblin's Henchman is pretty cool: it's like a hexcrawl ... but for weather. The webpage includes several variations on this theme, including season-specific flowers. https://goblinshenchman.wordpress.com/2019/06/03/hex-power-flower-weather/

Just cataloged The Isle of Dread (Module X1), the original TSR hexcrawl that started it all!
29 keyed hexes of dinosaur-infested jungle in a Lost World adventure set in the Thanegioth Archipelago. Designed for B/X D&D and historically significant as the birthplace of the Known World (Mystara).
A classic that taught DMs how to run wilderness exploration and deliberately left hexes empty for you to make it your own.

Finally remembered to turn on hex numbers. Now my notes can actually specify where things are.
Aberash Keep is in 14.37.
Also learned how to make a GM layer.
Of course noticed a typo in Kondwani City.
Most of the Marsanne lands.

Aberash Keep
2 Inner Gate
The inner gate used to be barred, but the fastener rusted and the goblins haven’t repaired it. It’s heavy enough to take an action to open. If the goblins are alert and manning the murder holes, any character between the two gates takes 1d4 damage from dropped rocks, shivs, and other garbage after their turn. Plus the goblins in the guard posts could fire arrows through the slits.#AberashKeep #NSR #DysonLogos #OutlawsOfTheNorth #GMPrep #HexCrawl #Adventure

Since my Outlaws of the North map is based on the PNW, I keep renaming cities vaguely inspired by the actual location.
So I have this little fishing village where Aberdeen is. The small town in WA, not its more famous Scottish cousin.
It is where Kurt Cobain was from, so I’m tempted to just call it Nirvana. Is that too obvious? Anyone think of something related but cleverly obscure to use instead?

Last week, I released a trio of hex-map templates. They’re a couple of bucks on Itch (or free for paying patrons). Any monies go to support the channel. If you need some hexy templates, check them out! https://hexed.press/publications/handy-dandy-hex-map-templates/

@eldergoblinhighmage
Not sure if you're still in need, but I came up with these very generalized rules for hexcrawl and similar types of travel and exploration. Feel free to crib any bits you think might be of use:
https://kisnerp.itch.io/travel-exploration-rpgThe rules there are significantly inspired by Nate Treme's "In the Light of a Ghost Star":
https://natetreme.itch.io/itloagsAnd a bit of "Ryuutama: Natural Fantasy Roleplay":

My zine of OSR encounter tables, Hexcrawl Horrors is now also available on Drivethru RPG so you can get it there if you prefer it over Itch.
-
I made a zine of ten D100 encounter tables organised by terrain type, called Hexcrawl Horrors.
It uses the monsters from Basic Fantasy RPG because that game is free, so if you play a different OSR game you could download the BFRPG books and use it in your game anyway.
It's out now for free/pay what you want on itch:

I'd like to integrate a #hexcrawl into my #Pathfinder1e game. Ultimate Campaign suggests 12 mile hexes so I'll likely use that, though I've heard elsewhere a recommendation for smaller hexes.
I want to run a hexcrawl experience in the Hungry Mountains of #Ustalav. Canonically the Hungry Mountains contain the One Hundred Haunted Vales, very diverse isolated environments spread across the mountains, so I think a hexcrawl fits there.
-
Need to add color, but here is the Human kingdom and neighbors.
At this size it’ll probably take 30 sheets to map.
I might have gotten too ambitious.
