Here is a small blank hexmap.

PHASE 1

Each person chooses a blank tile and posts its terrain. Once all the tiles are filled we move on to phase 2.

To start I've added a fungal forest in the middle.

An impossibly tall glass mountain with a golden wall around its peak. Rumor has it that those who scale the mountain will find a garden , and whose fruit grants eternal life, behind those golden walls. However, A great serpent is said to dwell within and none have ever returned from attempting to climb the mountain, while the land around it, while verdant and green is littered with the bones of those who sought immortality.

A rocky and gelid beach lies here - inhabiting it is a horde of man-eating white apes. They have a paleolithic level of technology, although they live amidst the ruins of a seaside port. This place is the only location in the world that permits the growth of a hallucinogenic root plant that allows for astral projection, though it is most often used as a potent magical catalyst. Said plant is called a "Dream Yam"

0905 is a mountain at the peak of which is a large, overturned decanter of endless water. It is from here that the river flows.

07.06 should probably be an ocean, extending as far as the eye can see. Those who venture beyond its southernmost regions will find themselves forever lost in an impenetrable rolling fog.

Rumor has it that a crazed wisard once opened a portal to another plane, filled with horrible, unearthly creatures in an attempt to use them to take over. All we know for sure is these creatures wander the earth here, kept at bay only by a barrier sustained by a contingant of highly traine clerics.

@09.06 one can find the mountainous homeland of the rare and elusive hammerspace dragons.

These legendary creatures grow smaller as they age, but have impossibly large appetites and extradimensional stomachs that only grow as the years go on. If tamed young, they make excellent living bags of holding.

Unending mountains stretch to the west and fog-covered oceans lie to the south.

@04.05 Spires of sandstone rock jut out of the landscape. Though water is hard to come by in the sun blasted, arid mountains, many merchants travel The Golden Road, a highway of salt wagons hauling from the south in 04.06 for sale in the city at 08.05. This road is beset with danger, as thieves pray on all travelers.
>>
The Golden Road continues out of the mountains and into a deep forest rising above the swampy marshes to the north. The woods are believed to be possessed by angry spirits of a bygone age. Bandits hide in the forest, and anyone lost in the woods will be magically drawn to clear water creeks where mermaids try to drown them

@6.06 A very cold sea with many icebergs floating within it. Every iceberg has its own tribe of abominable snowmen, who have an ancient tradition declaring war on any iceberg that collides with their own.

A giant termite mound casts its forboding shadow upon a broad yet semi-arid valley. The mound is three hundred meters tall and is inhabited by hundreds of thousands of goblin-sized humanoid termites who are remarkable at woodwork and papermaking. The termite-men are ruled by an autocracy, and they have recently learned how to make ships wrought of pine wood to ply the waters of 02.03 so that they may scout the island.

In this steppe-like region, the sight lines can go on for miles. The intrepid adventurer notices a large metal disc , rising up out of the plains, sunlight glinting off it's many facets. Unfortunately, should they choose to approach it, by the time they get within a kilometer, they begin to sweat and itch uncontrollably. 500 meters, and they begin vomiting. 300 meters, their vision blurs and they experience the most splitting headache of their life. No man has ever gotten within 100 meters, and lived to tell the tale. Anyone who tries to leave the lethal field surrounding the disc will experience a horrible illness over the coming weeks, where the skin flakes off in bunches and tumors erupt over the body.

It's a crashed spaceship. The reactor housing took a nasty crack during the landing, and an elephants foot has formed in the lower levels. If you get inside without dying horribly, you should be able to find some laser pistols and alien corpses.

Sorry if this doesn't fit the hexcrawl theme, but I've had this idea in my mind since 2015 and I haven't had a group to spring it on.

Order of the Serrated Knife, a group of rangers focused on jungle survival, stealth and poison use, have turned this patch of swamp into a proving ground for new recruits.

3.04, the remnants of an ancient aquatic civilization. Although once completely submerged in a massive ocean, much of the water has drained into the whirlpool at 3.03. Now, the landscape is made up of many basins of clay, and draining ponds, covered in the husks of the civilization's jellyfish homes.
Living fishfolk still live in those jellyfish, gone feral from dehydration, killing wayward travelers and bathing in their blood. Despite the risks, poachers enter the nation's jellyfish halls to hunt fishfolk, and sell their jagged bright scales as ornaments or as weapons.
It is said that the oldest of the fishfolk will trade ancient bits of knowledge in exchange for mushrooms, which were once a delicacy that could be found on the ocean floor.

00.02
A large tract of salt flats that are impossibly smooth and white, to the point that care needs to be taken to not lose direction, as once one is deep enough everything looks the same. The deeper one goes, the more arid and toxic the land is. The large lakes near the center are hypersaline, have dangerous levels of arsenic, and are extremely hot.

From here the savanna starts to get more green as you move left. A lush valley surrounds the river. The cliffs are extremely steep where the river meets the borders, resulting in two waterfalls. The waterfall on the northern border falls up instead of down. Those who are foolish enough to try and catch a ride from the "water-rise" end up being shot into the sky. This usually results in death.

a great pit, none have found a bottom.
or, at least, none have found a bottom and returned
still there is life here though.


at first plant life of all description clings to the walls.
lower these give way to fungi when the sunlight is insufficient to sustain the plants.
further still, where sunlight never falls, lighting is provided by strange variants of fungi which glow with their own light
beneath even this layer, bizarre fleshy buds not found on the surface replace the fungi.
no reports of what may lay beyond this have been received.


most fauna of the pit can fly, or at least glide.
those in upper layers resemble normal birds, bats, and insects.
further down the pit, stranger things lurk.


many of the lifeforms in the lower reaches have unique and valuable alchemical properties.

In the northern part of the dry steppes, a race of bronze skinned, burly, oryx-horned people live. They keep raptors as livestock, which are used for food, clothing, and as (unreliable) transport. Due to a lack of metals, the people use their long, sharp horns to make weapons and tools. It's not uncommon to see a horned man brandishing one of his own horns as a spear or knife.
The tall, blood-red grass that grows everywhere in the steppe is used in medicines in many different forms. It is also chewed recreationally, tasting of sweet violet flowers. As such, it is a cornerstone of trade between the horned men and foreigners.
Currently, the horned men are fighting back against an invasion from the north. Bright blue lizards have been ravaging every village and town they've come across. What the horned men don't know is that these beings somehow feed off of the cold, heating up their environments. They're heading south to the frozen rainforest.

think:

the hole is the size of the hex
latitude says around 45degree sunlight
so:
~ 100 km before there is not enough light to support plants
another 100 km till you cant see by reflected light and flowing fungi start
another equal depth till the fleshbuds start
similar thicknesses for following layers
consider:
the international space station orbits at an altitude of 400 km

On these occasions one can see strange lights deeper within the forest and hear voices in an unknown tongue, but none have ventured far into it and returned to tell the tale.

A truly massive castle takes up almost the entire hex, rising like a huge mountain above the surrounding lands. The castle is constantly growing, with new walls, towers, and keeps appearing only to be eventually grown over by new constructions. Locals shun the place, and none can say who is doing the building or where they get materials for it.

PHASE 2:

We flesh out the crawl with factions, encounters and other details:

Quote another post in the thread and add a detail to it (a related encounter, an NPC, a bit of lore, a location within the tile)

OR

Quote two (or more) posts in this thread and connect them together in some way.
I will post the pdf of what I have so far soon.

Every so often, abandoned ships drift out of the fog and beach themselves in 08.06 >>57855330 or else are wrecked among the ice floes of >>57871896

The ships appear to come from foreign lands, bearing figureheads carved in the shapes of dreamlike creatures and laden with the tattered flags of unknown kingdoms. Sometimes, these ships bear strange treasures—swords with seven whip-like blades, bolts of sheer fabric only visible to those that have cheated death, incense whose smoke slowly burns away the sense of self...

This ships always appear to have been adrift for a very long time.

Will Trump loves to boast about the riches he has amassed throughout his daring adventures, and occasionally invites trustworthy folk for a private viewing of his fortune at the top of the Trump tower. Among dazzling, rare jewels there lay a rather unassuming obol set with a blue gemstone in its center. Unknown to Trump, this is the obol that belongs to the powerful wishing well in tile 05.00

If someone delves the depths of 01.03, they may find an ancient, barnacle encrusted ceramic stopper. It is the match to the urn found in 09.05.

If the urn is ever stoppered, the river shall run dry in a month's time. As years go by, untold ecological damage could be done to the swamps, wetlands, and hexes through which the river passes.

Will Trump is concerned about his wealth due to the high activity of scavengers, thieves and bandits in tiles 03.04, 04.05, and 05.04. He is planning to build a wall that isolates Trump tower from these tiles, but needs more manpower to get it done.

A skinny, ratty man with a peg leg and singed blonde hair is digging in 05.01.

Behind him is a wheelbarrow laden with live ordnance. If approached, he informs the newcomer that it is his favorite time of year: Harvest Season. If they accept his invitation to join the absolute madman, they are given a shovel and offered a cash reward for every landmine brought to him.

Evil individuals may opt to instead rig the wheelbarrow to explode. The ensuing chain reaction kills the perpetrator.

It is rumored that one of the glass buttes scattered throughout 03.01 is made of a significantly different kind of glass. Visually, it is indistinguishable from the others, but this one is harder and has a much higher melting point than steel. Perhaps most curious, this glass is entirely frictionless.

I’m using a hexcrawl /osr/ made for an area in my campaign. Its going well, though i added a lot of my own spice

By the road at 06.05 lies a small town dedicated to fishing and farming. The town is most famous for a band of explorers who have somehow salvaged an ancient scuba diving suit from 06.06, and they are using it to explore the iceberg-riddled sea, whilst avoiding the yeti tribes. So far they have salvaged a radio, a watch and a periscope. They are known as the Gelid Plungers of Sobal, after the town that funds them.

The slave gladiators of the city in 08.05 are the elite, wealthy slaves. Lower class slaves work the salt mines at 04.06. Slaves, slavers and indentured servants make up most of the travelers on the salt road.

Bordering 07.05 there is a black volcanic ash boundary where the lava meets the frozen sea of 06.06, and along the foggy coast of 07.06. Mining on the strip can produce diamonds, but fire elementals are lured by the activity

The dwarves of 01.04 are dominated by a tentacle faced psychic from another plane. They make war on any termites from 02.02 they encounter while sailing the gigantic lake between them. The dwarves do not yet know where the termites come from, and lack the autonomy to find out on their own. The termites only know that some of their scouts have gone missing and are looking for the cause. Any adventurers are suspect

The termites consciousness comes from their hive mind, and they are immune to psychic domination

These two ships crashed here long ago, after falling from the sky in a climactic battle.The people of this land speak of the battle over heaven as legend, as ending the fourth world and beginning the fifth.

>>57875705
Symbiotic nanites have leaked out of the crashed ship, infecting and altering the lake's life. The altered organisms have formed a hivemind that now seeks to make the jump to human hosts.

03.01 is sees many races, as it is mined by Termites from 02.02, and Goblin wartribes from 03.02 who use the obsidian to forge weapons like the Macuahuitl, an obsidian sword.

>>57908432
Iron, copper and coal is mined in particular in 03.01, although they pile outside all stone, including gems as they have no need for them. They are solely used to make crude but effective tools and equipment, most often pickaxes, hatchets, adzes, daggers and maces. What they are most reputed for mining is the massive mycelium of mostly-subterranean fungi named Clate which is used to grow reinforcements.

Iam really digging that this world seems to be covered in crashed ships that are creating bad side effects.

The salt flats at 00.02 were, a long time ago, once similar to still water of 00.03, and sometimes retain the strange, illogical properties of the magic "stillness". Strange geometric patterns appear in the crystalline salt, local rumors say navigation charts can be divined from such patterns, allowing safe travel through 00.03.

Aside from this, strange fossils of massive sea creatures are often found in the salt flats, whose magical properties would be valuable to interested parties. Some say that the secrets to 00.03 lie in returning these bones to the central waters, but that seems like a really bad idea.

in the bottom of the maelstrom there lies a dormant Hydra with shiny obsidian scales. Its blood has powerful antimagic properties.

Not only the land dwellers seek the garden of eternal life that sits atop the glass mountain. Every now and again, strange gel-like creatures of different shapes and sizes but of similar constitution to the Great Slime will detach from it's shores in hordes, attempting to absorb the garden for themselves. It's assumed the great serpent that guards the garden manages to beat these slime-hordes back, but every horde is slightly larger than the last.

Adventurers that stray too close to the Great Slime's shores are left missing before they even reach the serpent. And the more adventurers that go missing within the Slime, the more humanoid the slime-hordes appear when they attempt their incursions.

The castle in 06.00 is even more gargantuan than it seems; it grew from a great pit alike the one in 9.00 with steep, winding streets and stairs all the way down to the bottom.

Essentially, the castle on the surface is just the tip of a godlike fortress reaching down a long, deep shaft to the underworld.

Awesome thread. Could we get the compiled PDF of everything ?

We're still doing encounters, sublocations and connections. There might be a third phase as well. So, not quite yet.
