Square Hex Maps

[Tywyll]

So I recently saw a picture of Gloomhaven's map boards. They were nice squares with hexes. They looked perfect.

The thing I don't like about hexes is that they don't conform to natural shapes which makes mapping a Dungeon or whatever difficult.

So other than buying a copy of Gloomhaven, does anyone know where one can pick up Dungeon boards with normal shapes that have hexes on them?

Get a box of sheets for printing overhead transparencies at staples and print clear 1.5 inch hex overlays. Then you can use any maps you want.

Of course I could do that. But that's not what I am looking for. Surely there M St be something out there that fits the bill.

I like using offset squares for hexes in this case. I have a battle mat with this pattern.

Warehouse 23 has two sets of dungeon tiles for GURPS that would work. No megahexes and not 1.5 inches, but...

Here's one of the sets

You know. I actually have the physical versions of those from years ago. I just never wanted to cut them up!

I hear that. A couple of years ago, I picked up a sealed cardboard heroes fantasy set, then decided I didn't want it cut up, so I started buying the pdfs, too.

Sadly, I lost that W23 account (don't even remember the email address I used) so I have them carefully backed up :)

I wonder if someone at SJG can figure out your old account and transfer the contents? It's a shame to lose access to your stuff.

Gaming Paper sells single 1.5" hex sheets. They are blank.


BattleMats does a number of rpg related maps and many of them come with a 1.5" hex option. You need to print them out and they can be found on Drivthrurpg.

Hope this helps.

You could always create and print out your own, using mapping software that supports hexgrids (e.g. MapForge).
