This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Need help finding a Sandbox and Hexcrawl Build Blog Series from years ago

Good Morning,

Inspired by the recent talk of a Hex-a-Day project, I thought to revisit a series of blog posts I followed years ago that showed the step-by-step construction of a Hexcrawl. Because I can't find the link in my bookmarks, I'm relatively sure it was from 2019 or before.

If I remember correctly, the author posted about one hex a day or so and built it out as a hex flower. I think the map was built in Hexographer (maybe Worldographer if closer to 2019). Each hex had about one page of material written for it. I think the terrain was more arid and one of the more memorable features was a mountain range called something like, 'Spine of the World' or 'Backbone of the World'. Maybe?

The series went for at least five rings! I liked the series so much that I copy-and-pasted some of the work into a pdf but stopped around the third ring or so. I think I even reached out to the author to share the work I did. But I can't find that either. That's why 2019 makes sense. I moved and the computer I was using at the time is still packed away.

I've tried googling everything I could think of, but no hits. This is pissing me off because I have all sorts of D&D stuff saved (in multiple places), but this one seems to have slipped through my archiving. Any help in directing me to this series would be greatly appreciated.
