    Hexcrawl suggestions?

    What does everybody use?

    Being more specific an overgrown area with multiple ruins, former settlements or small towns or cities. 

    So far I have considered;

    AD&D DM guide and/or Wilderness guide
    Rules Cyclopedia
    d30 Sandbox Companion

    Thanks

    Re: Hexcrawl suggestions?

    Old Judges Guild products had a bunch of hexcrawl material too: Wilderlands, the Village, Island, Castle, Temple and Ruin supplements. I have a fan-made compilation of them, which appears to be only on the Internet Archive, so not sure where it originated.

    It's a good start , one day I need to make something specific to ASSH, including the encounter tables.

    These are the ones I have found helpful, mostly for hex building. 

    Evidently there is a difference between "hex crawl" and "hex explore".
