Well designed introductory adventure. Provides useful advice for on boarding beginner GMs.
Asking this to clarify is "Hex Kit" this program off itch.io : https://cone.itch.io/hex-kit or some other program? The screen shots seem to match but I'd want to know for sure before buying a program that it'll open your .map file. Originally I was excited because I thought it was a save file for https://azgaar.github.io/Fantasy-Map-Generator/ (which is GREAT and free but isn't strictly for making hex maps, it's more of a map creator that you can overlay hexes on) but you giving us a save file for any map editing software is an amazing plus and appreciated, it's just if I am going to spend money I want to make sure I am buying the one everyone here is praising so much.
Yep, that is the program. You would also need to buy two tile sets: Fantasyland Tileset and Traveling Through Dangerous Scenery Tileset. You can also find the program and Tilesets over on DriveThruRPG (which is where I originally bought them): https://preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/browse?keyword=hex%20kit. Altogether, it costs 30 USD for the Hex Kit program and the two tilesets.
And thanks for sharing azgaar's Fantasy Map Generator, I had never see that before, looks cool!
Lots to like about this!
The "customize it!" sections offer some fantastic advice.
Extras are fun and useful.
Maps are well laid out and using the keying within the text was a great idea.
Really good teaching dungeon.
This is genuinely fantastic. Its a great setup for a campaign, and I love how you gave a simple quest, and left a bunch of bread trails that should lead there. The expanded Hexcrawl map and followup prompts are just gravy.
There's a good chance that if I can convince my friends to try Shadowdark, I'll use this as the prompt for the larger campaign.
