Die Begegnungstabellen Das zentrale Thema einer West Marches-Kampagne ist die selbstbestimmte Erkundung einer weitestgehend unbekannten, Hexfeld-gerasterten Wildnis durch die Spielenden mittels ihrer Spielfiguren (SF).

Wie sich meine Begegnungstabellen in unserer #WestMarches -Kampagne zusammensetzen, wie Spieler:innen mit ihren Spielfiguren unsere Spielwelt beeinflussen und was das mit #ODnD und #ADnD zu tun hat:

I'm working on an adventure within the setting we're writing on stream, and I just got done with the hex crawl map yesterday. This adventure is meant to be on a similar scale to something like Lost Mine of Phandelver, so nothing too crazy

I'm going to try and do a little mini series on the podcast talking about hexcrawls, and have started off with a short one beginning to look at populating a hex. www.podbean.com/eas/pb-sxbvp... You can find Sabre Rattlings on most major podcatchers. #ttrpg #dnd #hexcrawl

"Why is it quite so... tall?"
#dnd #ttrpg #fantasymaps #hexgrid #hexcrawl #hexagons

Powers of 10, in this case.

The overlay [big grey hexagon] is 10 unit hexagons tall. If you had a 30 mile hex on something like the Greyhawk map and zoomed in, the units in this grid would be 3 miles.

a rectangular grid of hexagons. these were designed to be 18mm hexes when printed on US Letter/A4 paper. there are 13 columns of hexagons, each six or seven base hexes tall.

quick morning edit before work. (another 'white box' -- the grid is supposed to disappear behind art and terrain but this is a little silly as a thumbnail)

literally the same image as posted above but with edits

A hex board. Or hex map blank. Or a sheet of hex paper. If printed on US Letter/A4, the individual hexes would be 18mm, depending of course on your software and printer.

The hexagons are oriented on their "flats", meaning there are two sides parallel to the top and bottom of the image, and corners 'point' to the left and right.

In the base grid, there are 13 columns. The center column is tallest, 'measuring' 13 base hexes tall. Each column left and right of center is shorter by one, which follows in a line until the outside columns (the 1st column on the left and the 13th column furthest right) are only 7 base hexes tall. 

Another way to visualize the base grid is to start at the center hex, around the center place 6 additional hexes. Around that ring place 12 hexes, a ring measuring three hexes on a side —corner, connecting hex, and corner —and sharing a center with both the original center and the first ring. Continuing in this fashion we add rings of 18 hexes (4 to a side), 24 hexes (5 to a side), 30 hexes (6 to a side), and finally 36 hexes, the outer ring with 7 hexes to a side and completing the board.

A hex board assembled this way can be called a "hex flower" or "hex rose" and named by the number of rings around the center [a 6-rose] or the number of rings counting the center as 1 [a 7-rose, "7" also matching the measure of one side of the outside ring]

Sharing a center with the hex board, a single large overlay hex has been added. This large overlay shares the same orientation as the grid, it is a Hexagon "Flat", with a top on bottom that are parallel to the top and bottom of the page. 

The orientation is noted because it can seem offset by 30° from the 7-rose Hex Flower [the hex board considered in total] though it shares the orientation of the base hex grid.

The overlay measures 10 base hexes tall. The corners of the overlay are the centers of the six sides of the 7-rose hex board.

The base grid is colored a pale blue, the overlay is a 50% gray.

So the original is a svg I did in inkscape [leaning heavily on github.com/lifelike/hex... ] but I was able to zoom in/blow it up, take a screenshot at something like 4k, and save a 2000x2000 png

IS SOMETHING LIKE THIS USEFUL.
