Hexcrawling 101, Class 05: What's the Best Starter Hexmap Setup?

[Todd]

The guidance we’ll look at today:

• ChicagoWiz’s “Just Three Hexes”;
• “Hex-based Campaign Design (Part 1)” from The Welsh Piper; and,
• “The Gygax 75 Challenge” by Ray Otus.

I came out of this stream thinking that all three of these sources have merits to the guidance that they provide and they actually mesh pretty well. The next step is to smoosh them all together into one Franken-hex starter kit…

We put a combination of this guidance to work and created a starter hexcrawl.
