Hex Talk #5 – The Return
“A hex crawl is really just a dungeon where every room has six exits.” -Eric Hoffman
“(dumb stares)” -Jason and Jose
They’re back! After a long hiatus, Jason, Eric and Jose have returned to service all of your hex-crawling needs! In Episode 5 of Hex Talk, the guys answer some questions from a long-time fan (Cody loves our nuggets), and they reveal their new shared-GM hex-crawl setting, The Forlorn Shores. The guys discuss why and how they created the Forlorn Shores, detail how each GM manages their respective areas, and laugh about first-session follies. If you enjoy this episode, leave a review and let the Hex Talk guys know what else you want to hear!

One thought on “Hex Talk #5 – The Return”
Hey guys,
Just wanted to say that I love the podcast and that it and you all have given me the push I needed to get going on a hexcrawl of my own.
I’ve always been enamored with The Isle of Dread and I enjoy the new Tomb of Annihilation adventure from WotC as well. When I heard Hobbs taking up The Treasure Vaults of Zodabod I decided to pick that up as well. Low and behold it is also awesome.
So I’ve decided to combine my favorite parts of all 3. I’m using the original Isle of Dread map but replacing some of the keyed encounters with my favorite things from each module.
I have a few queries though:
-Do you have a suggestion for Region size? Or do you usually let geography dictate?
-Hazards? Do you suggest this being it’s own table or part of the regional encounters? Also, suggestions would be awesome.
Keep up the great work guys. I’m enjoying every minute of it.
