This is the map you guys purchased. It depicts Havenford and then everything within about 50 miles (10 miles per hex).
027.011 — Havenford, the westernmost reach of the empire. Everything to the east of here is safe and boring. 026.012 — The Sinkhole Dungeons 027.016 — The Shadowfang Caverns 026.008 — Marshview, a fishing village 023.010 — The Ruins of Thornwood Abbey Unmarked Locations 025.013 — The Crystal Caverns (The program crashed before I could place the icon for this location) xxx.xxx — The FeyWild Glade is rumored to be somewhere in the deciduous hills to the southwest of Havenford.
Owing to some incredible my-computer-must-hate-me luck ... the program I was using to create the map crashed before I could save a copy.
I was able to get a screenshot for posting prior to it crashing though.
We'll probably stay on this map for a bit before pushing beyond any of its boundaries ... if only for the silly reason that I will have to go back in and create the whole map again from scratch.
That's what I like to see in a world. Sometimes I feel like so many people are isolated and lonely and it just makes me sad because I know what it's like to just fester in hate and anger and it's truly no fun.
Those are such touching words. You speak with a lot of compassion and excitement in your words like a gentle undimmed flame.
ah oh man this took me so much time to respond but thank you!!! I didn't know what to say other than it means a lot to me. also I like the touch of metaphor you added in there very niceee
Without getting to much into personal backstory (read this with like a meme effect that silly echoing one) life has always been weird. financially and personally. ya know. I just try to take what happens to me and just go with it. It's been a hard to thing to process and I've learned a lot over the years from it especially in 2020 when I graduated high school. some girl cried in our school's virtual town hall when we had no prom/no graduation and I just didn't care? felt like I was just doing things to get things over with. then I started thinking about how kind of callous I was becoming and had to really figure out who I am and what I should do. never really went to therapy (my school has only 10 free sessions) just sort of figured it out on my own and still working on it. I'm trying at least. more than I did before.

Ooh nice! Not that your computer attacked your work of course. Me has 0 experience with hexcrawling, so Ive never seen a map like this. Now I feel dumb dumb for not using such a simple and effective traveling method. I could show you maps I created for other games if anyone is interested but the crux of it is: many hours, not even all fancy.
Im excited to explore. How many owlbears will be in our first random encounter? Answer: All of them!

NICE MAP *dora's 'I'm the map' song plays*
very good map making skills, SVA (School of Visual Arts)! fits your name well hehehe
it's honestly really detailed and helpful! I once went camping and was lost for an hour since we went without maps and just looked at the tree markers (very bad idea). so even in a game nobody wants to be stuck being like 'oh no which way to go'
thanks for taking the time and making it for us!!! that sucks about the computer :/

Hexcrawl, here we come! Magic Realm would be proud. :)
... If he's not in the same group, he'll cautiously head toward them.
@Bird, can you clarify what you mean? Yaudara is advancing on the frog-men or heading closer to his own people?
Closer to his own people, to protect them, if Yaudara's not currently in the party group that's closest to the frog-men. If he's already in the party group that's closest, he'll stay put and wait for Toadstool or someone else to try and speak with them.

I think it was meant that the frog men and our party were 80ft apart, not that the party was split. It took a bit for me to parse that as well
@Miglasezis, I will assume the current Charisma (Persuasion) roll is something to the effect of 'convince them that we are not a threat.' In the future, please be a bit more specific with the 'I am trying to ..." portion of when a skill check is made.
Onward. Since you do not share a language with the creatures, the roll will be made at disadvantage.

Ok, thought I was specific enough. Sorry. Not really trying to talk to them, but use non intimidating body language and a gift to show that we mean no harm. If you still think that disadvantage should be in place, I accept.
Now with 100% more MAP!

Hola! Soy Dora! Can you say "You're lost on in a meadow with knee high grass and pack of toads is attacking you?"
Hexcrawl, here we come! Magic Realm would be proud. :)

Samhain - I subtracted 1 potion from Toads inventory so you can add 1 to yours.
Understood, thank you for clarifying. There are two groups, the adventurers and the frog-men.

I have added the potion to Rinn's character sheet.
Ok, thought I was specific enough. Sorry. Not really trying to talk to them, but use non intimidating body language and a gift to show that we mean no harm. If you still think that disadvantage should be in place, I accept.
Anyway - I think they're friendly :D
No worries, and no need to apologize.
Whoopsies, pulled a typical "Balen" move.
Guess we fightin.
I have added 10 goodberries to Toadstool's sheet. He will begin this encounter with them in hand.
@All, please let me know when you make your next post what, if anything, your PC is holding (weapons, shield, etc)
Glorious map BTW. Really pretty.
Also - the bullywug that is in the same space as toad is riding it?
