Hexploration Kit: Map Tiles & Inspiration Decks

Build an unforgettable setting for your next tabletop role-playing game campaign! Five 56-card decks have imaginative art, lists of evocative ideas, and useful random charts or hex exploration guidance. Plus laminated hex minimap tiles and static clings allow you to build a map! 

More About the Decks

• Settled Lands - Focuses on cities, towns, villages, castles, and other settled locations of a fantasy world.
• Into the Wilderness - Features strange paths, spooky wilderness, isolated shrines, a hermit's hut, and so on.
• The Underrealms - Has ideas for locations in intriguing underground kingdoms.
• Stranger Places - Spins fantasy locations like a city on the Plane of Fire, magical floating islands, and improbable architecture to list just a few.
• High Seas -  Focusing on port, pirate, sea, and ocean locations.  

• Location cards provide a picture on one side, and a series of options on the other. Use your own creativity to customize and expand the result to fit your setting. 40 cards in each deck are Location cards.
• Trait cards can modify your locations to make them even more distinctive and interesting. You may have a haunted graveyard... but now it also hosts a criminal element–or maybe it is a base for a warrior tradition. Each trait has multiple prompts to ensure more flavor for your sites. 10 cards in each deck have Traits.
• Reference cards provide distilled guidelines, advice and more useful charts for how to get the most out of creating and exploring your map. Topics include running a hex crawl, creating unique underrealms species & cultures, an island generator, and jobs-in-town generator! Five cards per deck are Reference cards.

Minimap Tiles

Our hex minimap tiles are just plain fun to play with!  And we've got Dungeons & Dragons cartographer and long-time Inkwell Ideas collaborator Dyson Logos creating them! 

• Sturdy Material: Printed on thick cardstock then laminated to give a thickness and feel similar to a driver's license. The set has 80 tiles, double sided. There are 140 designs plus 10 light blue "sea" sides and 10 white blank/fully customizable sides.
• Customize Them: The lamination makes them water resistant and re-markable! Sketch in coasts, rivers, and roads. Re-use the tiles by using a dry-erase marker. Or even mark towns, villages, and dungeon entrances, but--
• Clings! Add over 100 static clings of towers, towns, and other special features. Plus over 30 clings of rivers & coasts. 
• Make More: Print more! If you want to customize them or create even larger maps, we bundle the digital versions with the pre-printed tiles.  Or order more than one set!
• Useful Size: Each tile has a sub-hex grid three hexes across (seven full sub-hexes, plus six partial hexes).  Each individual sub-hex is 1", making it them useful for other games or scales.
• Save Them: Use the tiles to lay out your map area--take a picture of them in case you want the map later. 

Note: The PDF is set up to be printed duplex (two-sided), 4 cards per page.  So the upper right card on the front side of each page matches up to the upper left card on the back side. There is also an extra area (1/8") on the edge of each card called a "bleed". It is intended to be cut away. It allows a card to still look good even if the cut isn't perfect or if the front and back prints aren't perfectly aligned.  A PDF is also included with each side of each card as a 3.75"x2.75" page (3.5"x2.5" plus a 1/8" bleed) so you can lay it out as you wish.
