#Hex grid overlay generator generator#

I will spare you the details of my laborious calculations, but thanks to an online hex generator IncompetechВ ,which I gladly present here, I was able to get the desired result. Now we should calculate a proper hex grid scale so that a flat-to-flat hex distance (or height) is equal 1/5 of an inch. And as it is said in the 'Running the Realms' manual that on '1 inch = 30 miles' map 5 hexes equal 1 inch, thus 1 hex equals 6 miles. Surprise again! I could not find a single remark on the web about the actual template of the original hex grid overlay.ДЇortunately, the authors of the box were kind enough to give some general indications of the scale. There surely must be a good template on the web. It consist rows and column based structure and it is easier to design web pages without floating div elements and adjusting its positioning. I assume I will have to load the image onto the surface of a box or something then add another layer so I can see a grid which will contain a coordinate system that I can then manipulate. Grid layout tool offers a css grid system. They were used in the Dungeons & Dragons boxed sets of the 1980s and related TSR products. The hex map has also been popular for role-playing game wilderness maps. As it is not a popular product and as such is not commonly available I thought - let's make one. The map will be a 2d image scanned in - I am not (initially) generating the image, merely I want an overlay of line drawn onto an existing image. The hex grid is a distinguishing feature of the games from many wargame publishers, and a few other games (such as The Settlers of Catan). To my great surprise it turned out that the Grey Box I possess (I can't honestly say own as it is borrowed for an unlimited term) lacks the fantastic hex grid overlay sheets that would be so handy for that purpose. I have recently decided to include map exploration system to my Forgotten Realms campaign.
