Hexcrawl Maps

The hexcrawl map lets GMs and players build a map together. Use it however you like, but it works best when you start small, add a few tiles at a time, and let the map grow as the group explores.

For running a hexcrawl campaign, The Alexandrian's Hexcrawl guide covers the method in depth.

Creating a map

In the World Wiki editor, create a page and pick the page type "Hexcrawl Map".

Patreon supporters can boost a community to unlock more tiles and objects and larger maps. See Pricing.

Map orientation

If you're moving an existing map that uses flat-topped hexes, rotate the map 30 degrees to keep its layout.

To show which way is north, turn the compass in Page Settings.
