The Hexanomicon is an in-game setting creator. Random tables are used to determine the contents of hexes as you play. Stickers make filling in the hex map easy and fun. Actual locations are determined by the judge and players. This tool creates the spaces in between.
Most landscape is only a matter of time but some are important parts of the story. The party may need to face The Wastes of Dag'Ballah to reach the wizard's tower. Evil landscapes are inhabited by strange beasts that the players have never seen before. Random tables determine the names of these chaotic hexes. Generating names such as The Blighted Crags or The Womb of Sadness. Other tables create the denizens. Below is a simple monster created by the Beast-O-Matic. Your players will not face generic owlbears in these lands.
