Quintonir rated Hexcrawl Hex Tiles

Quintonir rated a asset pack 2 years ago
A downloadable asset pack.

I tend not to do online reviews, but I felt I had an obligation with this product. 

This is a mandatory purchase for anyone who:

  • wants to run a hexcrawl;
  • wants to keep asset bulk low (and avoid analysis paralysis when creating maps);
  • wants to give their players their own cartography tool in-Scene on a VTT (great for West Marches);
  • feels overwhelmed by the various mapmaking softwares and just wants to be able to on-the-fly make amazing looking maps directly in-game on their VTT or at their table;
  • just likes beautiful things.

The creator has clearly put considerable effort into the design direction here. Not only does each tile look sincerely perfect, but they overlay nicely with one another to create depth and variety on a single tile without adding unnecessary asset bulk by offering hundreds of different-but-not-really-different options. Just perfect clean, scalable design. Dictionary definition of "great design principle". 

Legitimately the best thing any GM could buy for their VTT. When the designer has completed all the packs to offer 6-12 options per major terrain type, you're looking at a steal for $30. As it is, $2 minimum is an unbelievable entry point; the pack without any future development would be a must-buy at $10 and a good deal at $15.
