Dusting off some world maps that were stowed away in the corners of my hard drive, I created a hex-based version using Inkwell's Ideas Hexographer. If you haven't used the demo version on the website, go try it...If you have, go buy it! With a straightforward interface, it is quite easy to churn out a hex based map in no time.
Once complete, I used Photoshop to tweak and polish it up. Each hex is 25 miles, but after thinking about it I'm going to change it to 50 miles. This should make it comparable (roughly) in size to the upper half of England.
I intend to develop this into a usable campaign map, complete with a few fleshed out hexes and ready-to-go sandbox style adventures. Keep an eye out for further developments.
Next Time: Adding towns, cities & other landmarks.
Was this the world that You and Marc were working on together?
ReplyDeleteThat's actually quite nice. I've always had a love/hate with hexy, but what you've done with polishing it, it makes me want to try it again :)
