Looking for some help with this document! The Hexcrawl Rules, under "Event" have: 1-2 Encounter; 3-5 Nothing; 6 Discover POI.

BUT - Under the Hexcrawl Terrain Generator, under "Features" you see: 1-2 on a d6, on 6 create a settlement instead. 

SO - what are people using as Points of Interest???

Yeah, this confused me at first too — it looks like “POI” and “Features” are being used a bit interchangeably, but they’re not exactly the same thing.

From how I understand it:

• POI (Point of Interest) in the Event table is more of a broad discovery trigger. It just means the party finds something notable in that hex.
• The Features table (Terrain Generator) is what you actually use to define what that “something” is.

So in practice, when you roll a 6 → Discover POI, you would then: → Roll on the Features table to determine the specific type of POI (ruins, landmark, dungeon, etc.)
→ And if you hit that special case (like rolling a 6 again), you generate a settlement instead

That means settlements are basically a subset outcome of POIs, just handled with an extra rule.

So people aren’t really choosing between POIs vs Features — the Feature table is what fills in the POI result.
