Hextml Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Phone maps

  Https://hextml.playest.net/ works, it's not that great though. Personally prefer just printing out maps instead. Source: 12 months ago

• I turned old map of Tyria into a Hexmap. (more info in my comment)

  If anyone is interested, I can share the .psd file and the https://hextml.playest.net/ .html file. Source: 12 months ago

• I read ALL of the lore. This is a rough idea of how all Tyrian locations relate to one another. (AoF).

  I'll probably use https://hextml.playest.net. Source: 12 months ago

• What are some really simple map making tools?

  I'm terrible at map making. So, I'm taking a very hex-based map approach and planning a hexcrawl campaign later this year. For that, I really like hextml. But, if you're looking for something prettier, I've heard Wonderdraft is good. Source: about 1 year ago

• Show me your hex tile!

  I've mentioned this before, but try using https://hextml.playest.net/ to map out your design. Source: about 1 year ago

• Hexagon tile backsplash installation

  It was definitely easiest to do the tiles with points up (like in all the photos). We ended up using HexTML dungeon mapper (https://hextml.playest.net/) to plan the entire layout ahead of time, including every cut tile and how it would need to be cut. Yeah, it's for creating dungeon maps for RPGs, but it's a great way to plan out hex tiles it turns out. We definitely had to lay out the entire design and check it... Source: about 1 year ago

• Any sites for tracking Party travel on a world map?

  The way I do it is by using a specific stamp on hextml. Then again, I build the map on there as well. Source: over 1 year ago

  This might help with the Hexcrawl: https://hextml.playest.net/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Help with organizing hexcrawl info

  I made http://hextml.playest.net just for that. I wanted to do a west marches campaign but, at the time (I don't know if it has changed), I couldn't find any software that was simple and did what I wanted. Source: over 1 year ago

• Custom 6-mile Hex map?

  Hextml works on mobile. I'm sure it's probably not the easiest to use on a small screen, but if you take your time you should be able to get something usable. Source: over 1 year ago

• I used a DnD map tool to organize my setup

  So I used this website. I edited the dimensions to be 10x11 and blacked out the irrelevant squares to replicate the map on the game. Source: over 1 year ago

• Hex Crawl maps

  Https://hextml.playest.net/ is one I've found and used. It has a lot of neat features, like nested maps and tons of room for notes on individual hexes. Source: over 1 year ago

• Can anyone recommend a piece of software that makes hexmaps, has note making, and has multiple levels of zoom to make large but detailed maps?

  You could also look into the playtest of hextml which allows the use of submaps but is browser-based: http://hextml.playest.net/. Source: over 1 year ago

• [West Marches] Collaborative map-making app for the players, preferrably online?

  As for world maps, my recommendation is HexTML. I find fancy drawn world maps are entirely overrated and prefer function over form. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Help needed.

  Personally, I stick with simple hex maps created in HexTML. I don't need it to be art, I need it to be functional. Source: almost 2 years ago

• HexTML - Hex-based Browser Maps with Random Option (Day 8 of 31 Days of RPG Map Gens)

  This one has been my go-to but the UI is a mess and a bit bloated. Source: almost 2 years ago
