D&D General Best Hexcrawl Resources?

[Xeviat]

Hi everybody!

I'm wanting to run a hexcrawl for one of my next games. Does anyone have recommendations for good resources? I have Level Up of course, with it's great wilderness exploration encounters, and I've digested a few articles and YouTube videos, but I think it's high time I pick up a dedicated Hexcrawl resource.

I have a few... here's two... will see if I can dig up more...

1. Old School Encounter References (B. Scot Hoover)
2. The Perilous Wilds (Jason Lutes & Jeremy Strandberg)

I really love these:

I think Dark of Hot Springs Island is a master class in hexcrawl design

Also here is the first of a video series I am working on where I discuss some hexcrawl design elements I use

The Alexandrian has a short series on it.

I am so glad I get to post this. It's free if you just read the posts, but it is also available as an updated PDF on Drivethru (link in the posts somewhere)

I wanted to keep some of these separate. I love this first post because it is the exact opposite of Rob Conley's System.

And finally, if you need something like an original Judges Guild like product:

Ah, I remembered another good one! Tim Bannock – who is active on these very forums, cannot recall his @ – wrote Old School Hacks Vol 1 Hexcrawling Wilderness Exploration and Random Encounters. It's about half stuff I was able to use right away, and half general guidance / tips about how to handle a hexcrawl.

Are the instructions for the kit on the Bat in the Attic site?

Oh, it's a set of assets. Derp. Nvm
