Hey folks!
After some feedback from the very kind Caffeineforge I've realised that I had laid out HAWKER in a way that reduced readability in the printed-out version of the game. To combat this I've reduced the map to 36 hexes vs the old 72 hexes and bumped all the body text up to 8.5 pt. I've also moved around some layout elements to ease this change!
Hex Map
The new 36 hex map leads to (quite obviously) a smaller game map, but this means that rolling for locations for Contracts now only calls for 1d6 + 1d6 versus the old 1d6 + 2d6. The game can still be played on a larger hex map and as such, I will keep the Old Printable hex map and add rule clarifications to that for a larger/longer game of HAWKER. Perhaps in the future, I will create a larger Renown track to help create a longer game.
Layout Changes
The new layout might look a fair bit different. There have been multiple changes to make up space to increase font size. Situation cards have increased in size and Retirement questions have been given their own space!
Sorry to all those who have already printed the game out, I hope these changes make the game more readable!
