It always blows my mind the random corners of the internet I see SoB: Hexcrawl pop up. Glad to hear it led to a dive into Youtubing. I'm on a similar quest of endlessly trying to organize my collection. My current thinking process for organizing the game is to break everything out as much as possible. So instead of trying to throw everything and the kitchen sink into one big pile, I've broken everything out by OtherWorld and Keywords, essentially every game is themed (Map tiles & Threats). I try to get everything setup before a game starts, which does cut down on the "Anything can happen!" part of the game, but makes it easier to gather all the components that I need beforehand.

Nice playthrough! I am waiting for my Ultimate copy to arrive. I think you are not using their original Walls, correct? As far I could seem, they are very tall and block the player's view. What is the height of the walls you are using? I will try to proxy them. Many thanks!

@JohnSmith-yz4xc2 ай бұрын
@@TheGrumpyMeeple @TheGrumpyMeeple Which WizKids tile set in particular? I found several dungeon tile sets from Wizkids, but the half walls still have a section beneath them to connect to the WizKid dungeon floors.(aka the warlock-tiles-expansion-pack-1-in-dungeon-straight-walls) Yours don't seem to have any lower part and comfortably rest on the map at just the 1 inch height. Can't seem to find those.
@TheGrumpyMeeple2 ай бұрын
@@JohnSmith-yz4xc ah yes, that’s because my walls are actually two walls deep. So for each wall section, I take two walls, turn them inward so I can snap them together at the bottom. That way they are more stable, fit better into the grid and you don’t see the connections on the bottom.
@JohnSmith-yz4xc2 ай бұрын
@@TheGrumpyMeeple Thanks for the extra detail. I like your idea of snapping the walls together for stability and filling the tiles space. I'm still not sure how your Wizkid walls are so low though. Do you have a Wizkids tile set you use? I can't find anything close to what I see in your video. Wizkids half wall Dungeon Wall sets that I've seen for sale only rise up about 1inch with an extra connection section on the bottom. Such as these: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZaXfIuwfbmNe80 Yours still look very low in comparison. What are you using?

My FLGS takes in a lot of used games and sells their non-OEM organizing materials for super cheap. That's where I get a lot of my organizational containers - lure boxes, folio boxes, card storage, etc. The last game I organized was Aliens - Another Glorious Day in the Corps. Using a variety of containers I organized the whole thing into a single mid-sized tub for transport to cons and game store games. Then I take the original boxes, put them in a marked, sealed tub and store it long term in the garage. I'm working on getting Shadows of Brimstone organized now. What a nightmare!

I agree on how much component management is arduous. I have been digitizing SOB. Character sheets incld tokens, conditons, gear/artifact cards, etc. Also made tables out of the depth carts, enemy threat cards, loot/scavenge cards, etc. Also player aids and a list of persistent towns. This has dramatically cut town on the fiddeliness and the number of physical components I have to deal with. Game play is much smoother. Plan on adding frontier town locations, growing dread and darkness tables next.
