this is imo, one of the best threads we've ever had here. Lets get it going again, and how about a sticky so it doesn't fall away.
If it is sticky I'll try to do at least a coiple of hexes every few days.

Heck, I'll add another one since I started it and all.

Hexes 2427, 2428, 2528: The Luminous Plain.  Thousands of tiny points of light dot this plain at night, as if from a huge swarm of fireflies.  No insects cause the glow, however.  In fact, it is unknown where the multitude of lights come from, as no one has been able to get close enough to them to discover their source.  As one approaches the edge of the plain, the lights nearest to them vanish, only to reappear after the person has passed by.  The rest of the lights on the plain act in a similar manner, disappearing if anyone draws too close.  The plain is otherwise unremarkable, not suitable for growing crops, occasionally used to graze small herds of sheep or goats.  It is little more than a curiosity and serves mainly as a landmark to guide those in the area who have travelled off the beaten path.


Edited to make it a little bigger

Hexes 2027,2127, 2227,2328, 2329, 2330, 2230, 2131, 2031, 1931, 1830, 1829, 1828, and 1928 The Swampwood
The above mentioned hexes for the perphery of a somewhat circular forest/marsh area. the area is inhabited by pastoral lizardfolk who survive mostly of the meat and blood of the giant (elphant sized) snails they heard. The lizaardfolk are not picky though, they will happily eat just about anything else, including adventueres.

However, the forest is the only known home of the Giant Crystal Horned Behemoths,  huge reptilian herbivores that subsist on swamp plants and tree bark. Each behemouth has a rack of antlers, similar in shape and configuration to those of a mundane moose, except much larger and made of colored crystal. These horns can be used as raw materials for many things, from goblets to windows and are valued throughout the region, with those of the clear, red and purple varieties commanding the highest prices in the marketplace. They are, or course, really hard to obtain, due to the Swampwood's many perils, and the danger of hunting the behemoth itself.

Hex 2226 - The Whispering Head

A toppled stone head lies on a high ridge overlooking the road. The head is 8 ft from chin to crown, and humanoid in visage, with a wide reptilian mouth. Anyone who puts an ear to the mouth will hear sinister whispers in a long-dead language. A wizard who listens for a full turn will learn the Confusion spell. A wizard who listens for two turns loses a point of Wisdom.

Man do I love crazy giant stone heads.

Please post some name ideas for this region, mine is the Hinterlands. After we have a few I'll make a poll so we can pick one.


Hexes 2628, 2629, 2630, 2631- Hills of Konnos this is a low range of hills, that is not a true landform. It is actually the body of a huge construct of unknown origin (perhaps from the outer eather) covered in sediment and vegiation. in places parts of the construct are visible (A single finger juts high into the air in Hex 2631 for example, but is thought to be natural formation. Beneath the sediment the construct is honeycombed with cavities, some were placed there by the builders, others are the remanents of mining and borrowing. The construct may have been a form of transport, as rumors have drited back of habitats located within it, and hordes of strange and magnificent treasure. The constrct has an internal defense system, not unlike an immune system, and outside creatures have also borrowed into it, making lairs there.


Hex 2219- Ruined city of Jokodu
This is a crumbled, sprawling ruin. Little is known about it beyond that, due to the fact it is known to be a hunting ground for a pair of Dream beasts. Dream beasts are saurian creatures that resemble Allosaurus, but have the ability to excrete an airborne hallucinogen which they use to confuse their inteneded prey. they always hunt in pairs, one of the pair secretes the dream-mist while the other moves in for the kill. If one of the pair is killed the other will not relent until it has slain those repsonsible- even if that means following them across half the world.

Could we compile a list of the hexes already used? To make it easier for newcomers (myself) to add to.

I think this thread is awesome.

In fact, I'm going to do the compiling myself. I'll put together all of the hex descriptions that've already been written, along with the author's handle, and then add a list of which hexes have been used.

Very cool. Thanks in advance.

Here they are.

The first file contains the descriptions and the second has a list of hexes already used placed onto one page.

I did a bit of editing on the descriptions. Nothing big; just whatever jumped out at me.

I can't believe I spent two hours doing that :/

That's awesome, thanks!

No problem. I may find a use for it myself one day.

There've been a few hex-crawl type threads recently, so i thought it was time to necro this thread in the hope of a return to more awesomeness.

I've started to cannibalize this thread for my own one-hex-at-a-time setting (inspired by hazy memories of this thread IIRC) over at EN World (with attribution of course). I hope that nobody minds.
