I’ve been playing Pathfinder Second Edition and I think I’m just about ready to put together some thoughts on that. Make sure to check back for the next post.

Get out there and play with Hextml, it’s a fun, free tool. That should be all the changes necessary to get you on the same page with the rest of the Worldbuilding Process Posts. And don’t forget to save your map so you can load it up later. The last step to getting our Hextml map ready to go is using the paint bucket to fill in the ocean. Hextml doesn’t support layers so we won’t be able to layer a map of Earth on top for reference, but you can create an image of your world map to scale and view them side by side. Regardless, once we start filling in hexes with biomes the major latitude lines will become easy to distinguish.
Another thing you can do is print out a blank map and make the important latitude lines yourself with a pen. Unfortunately, Hextml doesn’t support guides so we won’t be able to notate the important latitudes with guidelines. It’ll just take a little extra brainpower to fill in the biomes in future steps. But if you’re a die-hard, column-aligned hex fanatic more power to you. That way I can keep my latitude bands easier. I set up my hex maps with the hexes row-aligned. You should now be able to see the zigzag line of rows that will be out latitudes. On left sidebar click the change orientation of hexagons button.Click clear (This clears all the hexes and gives you a blank map).Set the height at 30 and width at 60 (Same dimensions as the Photoshop grid).Point to Point: 7 degrees (420 nautical miles).
Step One: Longitude & LatitudeĮverything from the original post works as is. All this information will work if you’re using a different hex mapping solution such as Hexographer.

So, for this update I’ll be working off of Hextml. Actually it takes it a step further allowing you to convert maps between squares, column-oriented hexes, and row-oriented hexes. It’s free, it’s online, and it allows you to save your maps to load for later and print as images.īest of all, Hextml allows you to make tile maps using hexes. Lately I’ve been using the program and I really enjoy Hextml. It seems like second nature to me, but definitely isn’t a tool everyone has at their fingertips.

Additionally, as a content creator I’ve had a version of Photoshop on my PC for over a decade. I’m blessed to work a nine-to-five with easy, regular access to Photoshop. Speaking of Photoshop… Reason Two: Not Everyone has Photoshop The reason I didn’t originally use hexes was because I was using Photoshop and that’s more difficult to accommodate than a simple square grid. Maps made with hexes look better and feel more organic than their square counterparts. All the Right Angles in All the Right Places Reason One: Some People Want to Use Hexes
