What is Hex23?

  Hex 23 is a role-playing game blog. It's inspired by the Dungeon23 challenge by Sean McCoy, author of The amazing science fiction horror role-playing game Mothership.

In Dungeon 23, Sean challenged himself and others who wanted to join in to write a room a day for a mega dungeon in 2023. If you kept up with it, you could have a sprawling 365 room dungeon by the end of the year.

I decided to approach it from a different angle. I decided to write a old school hex crawl.

I will be notating this so that it works both with typical old school fantasy adventure games like Old School Essentials, or Lamentations of the Flame Princess as well as with my own OSR adventure game Deathtrap Lite.

I'm using this as an opportunity to build up the country of Tassia and the world of Mondas that make up the default setting for Deathtrap Lite.

By the end, I should have enough material to publish a few free modules to package with the next edition of my game.

I am drawing a lot of my inspiration from the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay module Shadow Over Bogenhafen, which did a lot of heavy lifting of establishing the tone and feel of The Empire in their Old World setting.
