Valley of the Azure Ziggurat

[geezerdm]

This is a mini-sandbox hexmap for an RPG campaign. Created entirely in GIMP, save for the Hex overlay, which was taken from a public domain source, opened in GIMP and to which I then added the hex-numbers.

I created the hex icons myself. The dragon, featured on the icon in hex 0903, originally was from a PD picture, but after major shrinking and the necessary, subsequent touching up, looks nothing like the original picture (and just barely looks like a dragon. )

First off, welcome to the Guild Geezerdm! Second, about the hex grid, I don't know if you are aware but there is actually a GIMP plugin that allows you to render Hex Grids in GIMP (here's a link). Third, are you planning to run a "Hex-crawl" style adventure? I've been itching to run one myself ever since reading Justin Alexander's wonderful blog post on it.

I'll check out that link, thanks. Yeah, it's the starting area for a hexcrawl.
