Hex23

[@Wibstozbin]

I will use this idea. To me, this is a great way to get a game world started with very little preparation. Also, if you have a friend do one of these, you could agree to have the maps meet up with each other on one of three sides. Roll a d6 to see which side that your friend's map will overlap yours.

My 10 year old and I are using Moldvay to build our 23 project but will be utilizing 1e dungeon generation and our Hex rules to do so. Last night we found a living carpet of mushrooms guarding an herbalists hut and it isn't looking good. Them damn Venus Carpets. Realistically using those rules or something like Ruins of the Undercity for Dungeon/lair creation is a great way to go. Great minds brother.

Parsec23... I suppose I can do a starsystem a day... for Traveller, yikes, that would take up all my time. But I have considered doing a book of one-shot ideas for Traveller gamers.

[@TKFKU]

After decades of gaming I have dungeons out the wazoo. Mega,mini,funhouse,meat grinder, they go on and on. #Hex23 sounds like a much better idea.

Never heard of Scarlet Heroes before. Will have to check it out. Good idea on doing a year of hexes.

[@半蔵-x5h]

I just got scarlet heroes so this is perfect timing. Starting late to the *23 party but damn does it sound like a good time. Really love your videos man thanks.

[@TheBasicExpert]

Thanks and good luck with scarlet heroes!

[@brucelombardo]

I really like the idea of Hex23. Congrats, John.

[@TheBasicExpert]

It was Sevanwints idea on my the Guilded server. I can't take credit. I just have a platform to spread a good idea.

[@stoneworkmegapup215]

Great idea!

[@28mmRPG]

The prompts are pretty cool in Worldographer.

[@reedmiller4654]

I should do this one year and then fill out the dungeons the next year in D23

[@scrapperlock9437]

This is a cool idea. I considered it, but my current solo game is an urban one, and I'm in the middle of it... and I do not have time for two. I could still just do 1 hex a day but I decided to go with the Dungeon23 challenge because I think, for me, it will be harder. I'm better at wilderness maps than dungeon maps, so I am using it to improve my dungeon-map-making.

[@WinterDomeFly]

Personally I'm going over a world that I've generated and making maps for all of the lairs and interesting points, nothing massive like a mega dungeon but bits and pieces here and there maybe every day maybe not but in theory I should have way too many maps by the end of the year

[@Orang3zRPG]

Really like this idea. 🙂

[@MrSteveK1138]

Dungeon23 or Hex23...why not do both? Because I'm a Madman Across the Water.

[@mykediemart]

Hex crawl ok I thought for a minute we were goona do witchcraft ... World building is probably more useful then making a megadungeon for most DMs.

[@TheBasicExpert]

Yeah hex23 does sound spooky too haha.

[@martinbowman1993]

Can you show how to build a star wars D6 hex crawl?

[@unicyclepeon]

Do you think at the end that you might tweak the locations and move or change some, to make it more cohesive? I somewhat wonder if it will feel too random in the end.

[@TheBasicExpert]

I'm doing some editing as I go. But so far it hasn't been too bad. Scarlet Heroes usually gives enough space between points based on how it works where there are empty hexes in between.

[@Axiie]

How's your Hex23 going? Is there a follow-up video?

[@TheBasicExpert]

Lol. Not very good. Macuahuitl sort of took over my life. I do plan to record more solo games in the future though.

[@Axiie]

I did catch this pretty late, currently on a watchthrough of your library. This one caught my attention. Might be a smidge late to this party, but I'm sure I could catch up :D

[@Athelion123]

What's a recommended size for the world map or an average size? I like the idea and want to give it a go but I'm never sure how big to make the map for solo play.

[@john-lenin]

A lot of sibilance makes this painful to listen to.

[@TheBasicExpert]

Yeah it's my damn blue yeti. I've tried to get rid of it. It's only bad with headphones unfortunately. It gets a lot of noise.
