Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sword of Spirit" data-source="post: 6817280" data-attributes="member: 6677017">Okay, I ran across what seems to be (kinda) the answer to my question.In a different part of the 5e DMG, it refers to an area 50 miles across for mapping purposes, which would mean at least 10" in one direction. In another area it refers to the kingdom scale map as being 6 miles to a hex, and says that it is about the size of Great Britain, or half the size of California. The map would give us a 300 miles across, which is little too small for width, and way to small for height, but 10" and 50 hexes is significantly larger than I was expecting, so it's at least closer to that area than the other options. (There is also a spot that refers to a 180 mile across area as possibly defining the the area you are detailing on a map of that scale...which is really inconsistent, so I'm discarding that statement).That would also put continent scale at 3000 miles across, which it a pretty good size. So I'm most likely going to go with 50 hexes across. I'll shrink the size of the hexes if I need to print it so I can make the area square, but one could make it work with say 8" across the other direction to print it on letter sized paper.</blockquote>
