This time it’s Province (1 mile hex), Kingdom (6 mile hex) and Continent scale (60 mile hex).įirst of all, there’s a major error in the section about combining scales: it says that at continent scale, “1 hex represents the same area as 10 kingdom scale hexes.” Wrong.
recommends getting hex paper with five hexes to the inch (so about 2000 hexes per sheet, more or less.) Following in the footsteps of BECMI, the DMG recommends maps at three different scales. From this page, what can we learn about the D&D world? Is it more like a medieval dark age, or the early Renaissance, or is it totally ahistorical? This contains the outdoor campaign mapping rules, into which is encoded a lot of world demographics information. In the 3e DMG we got, like, a chapter on worldbuilding, demographics, and settlement generation. Today I’ll be talking about page 14 of the DMG. I’ll probably find things to unpack in this DMG for a few weeks. Of the core books, the DMG benefits the most from close readings: things that were explained fully in previous DMGs are often presented in complete but compressed form. In fact, since I saw early drafts of DMG sections, a third or more of the book is completely new to me. It’s notable that I didn’t review the acknowledgements section, or that particular spelling error would have never gotten through. OK, first of all: as was the case with the Monster Manual, Rory and my names are in the Dungeon Masters Guide! We’re credited as “Additional feedback provied by”.
