I think if it's anything goes there may be more people interested. My main job at the end will be to make it all fit together as best I can. Yes, travel rules will be added if needed.

I am in the process of creating a hexagon map of about 20x20 hexes in size. The idea is that it will form the beginning area for a campaign which can be expanded later. I know everyone runs their own style of campaign but lets delve into this together. If you read Wayne Rossi's OD&D Setting PDF http...

Okay cool. We are all on the same page then. A new map inspired by OS map. I think 20x20 hexes is a good start for an intro. We can always expand it later.

So you think we should use the actual OS map?

I haven't printed it at that size But I highly doubt it. It would have to be changed in some way. Either change the size a bit or perhaps split it in two.

I strongly recommend looking at the text of a game like Pits & Perils if you want to see short and simple descriptions of this or that bursting at the seams with flavor. :!: :idea: Okay, these folks don't have a free version of the rules :( What book has flavor text you are referencing? I would lik...

I posted about this a couple weeks ago on G+. The outdoor survival map is exactly what I was thinking about. I downloaded hexographer so I'll get to work on making a map. Then start to fill in hexes with what I have already. I'll post the map here and anyone who wants to contribute some hexes can do...

I don't own the fiend folio so I need to buy it. I think also adding some needed monsters from the S&W monster book would be a good idea. So a combination approach would work best for this I think. But we can table this one for now. We can come back to it after the hex crawl is finished.

I have two ideas. One is big, the other is small. The big one would have all terrain and be inspired by Wayne Rossi's OD&D setting PDF. The smaller one would be way smaller, like maybe 60 x 60 miles. I think the big one would work better with lots of contributors. But I doubt we could get enough. So...

Okay, let's do the hex setting next. New monsters and small adventures can be placed in it. If anybody wants to contribute content then you can contact me with the heading Hex Crawl. It will be large enough to add what I have already and anything that you folks send plus have empty areas to add thin...
