Twilight 2000 and Hex Kit. A match made in Heaven?

 

I have taken some steps towards using Hexkit as a way of making fun and fast battlemaps for use in my upcoming Twilight 2000 game.

I think it will work out ok.. I just need to really take the time to make one, it has almost all the resources it needs to do what I want it to do. I just need to find some art that has less of a fantasy vibe to it. But I think it will work. And its fast too.. 10 minutes and I had a nice 24 by 24 map made.

The lighter colors are elevated positions, while the green is of course, lower. We got some bogs and marsh in there. With the Dark Green trees being foliage and lighter green mixed trees as Forests. I just need to add a few LOS blocking items, and I should be all set I think. 

This map is called Bridge Crossing. The players are trying to get back to friendly lines, and they need to cross this river to do it.

HEX KIT: Shem Area Map.

Hi all,

This is a very short post. Today, I received my copy of the map making software for being apart of the HEX KIT Kickstarter.

This program is really pure genius! Very simple to use, very colorful, so very basic, and ultimately versatile. In the realm of kickstarters, there has only been a few when it comes to software that I have really felt happy with. But this one is the rare one, the one rare bird that has taken the number one spot for being the next new thing for me.



If everyone has a style of gameplay that they excel at; then for me I think its the open world sandbox. But to be able to do that, you need to have a sandbox to play in. And I wanted to make something simple, but useful. So after just getting the download for Hex Kit. I figured I give it a shot..

 In a mater of 5 minutes, I was able to make a colorful little overland map of an area that my players are currently in. This is a sandbox area for Shem. I could have made it bigger, but less is better.

Anyways, here is the eastern half of the country of Shem, North is the Mountains of Fire, to the South, the River Styx. And south of that river.. Stygia!
