Solo Hex-crawl in FGU - Demo Playtest Notes

Rate this Entry
# INFO

This isn't a real gameplay. I'm trying to figure out how to play Hex-crawl in FGU and brainstorming. More info will be added to comments later.

Ruleset:
D&D 5E (Because of Toolbox)

I utilized

* 25$ The Adventurer's Toolbox, https://www.dmsguild.com/product/263...antasy-Grounds
* ? Dungeon Master's Manual and
* JimSocks' (Free) Content Creator with https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...generator-2020!
* PWYW / 1$ - World Map Hex Tiles: https://2minutetabletop.com/product/...map-hex-tiles/ (Thanks to Trenloe)

Grid Type: Hexagon / Size: 100 x 100
[Check the pic in "1- The Toolbox has Wilderness Generator" to see where to do that]

# Here's the results: More info in chat screen.

I had to use IMGUR links not to exceed pic limit.

# Gameplay Demo (Earlier Version)

1- The Toolbox has Wilderness Generator

Create an empty map. -> Unlock it. -> Check righthand side menu to see the menu button for hex type / size. It's in the far end from Dice icon.
-> Chose hexagon shape in Grid Type. Enter 100 in Size. You're set.



2- I roll the tables to chat and drag tiles into map accordingly

See the righthand side menu and find Grid Snap. Turn it on if it's off. This is important to fit the tiles easily. It's under the menu near "Dice" icon.




3- Active Area Discovery in the Toolbox has some event rolls for areas



4- Some "World Map Hex Tiles" (hexagons only)

Just drag and drop the tile pictures into the map hexes. They should fit.




5- Resting in a small village



6- Didn't Like the Atrocious Quality Shop & Went Out



7- Arctic Terrain & Rocky Outcrop



8- Let's Check Weather: I've got a bad feeling about this

Weather tables are from DMG and they are brutal. Toolbox has better tables.



9- Weather Report: Cold! Wind! Rain!



10- The End: Now "Sports" with Xanathar

Climbing the rock has Survival DC: 12

Gather my horse and weapons, tell my family how I died"

    Brainstorming: I wonder if making a table directly from the tile pictures themselves to roll them for quick access would worth the effort? hmm.

    EDITED: As usual, I forgot to add most important info for beginners.
