Dmg Dnd 5e Map Hex Code

DN Map 08 - Smiling Beggar Inn and Tavern - Drunken. Category:Courcle - Mabinogi World Wiki dnd 3.5e - Accurate Population Scale of Forgotten Realms. DnD 5e Player Handbook. Dec 05, 2014 In case it was missed in my mammoth review, I made a set of hex maps to be used with the 5e mapping system as outlined in the Dungeon Master's Guilde on page 14. 5e mapping system. I designed them so that they nest side by side. The master grid and the sub grids are on layers so you can turn them off if you don't want them.

I have a question regarding measuring distances on a hex-grid map, such as the regional map found in the Lost Mine of Phandelver adventure (from the Starter Set; that map has a scale of 1 hex = 5 miles).
When the scale states '1 hex = 5 miles', which part of the hex measures 5 miles?
1 - Is it the sides of the hex that are 5 miles long?
2 - Is it the distance between two parallel sides of an hex?
3 - Is it the distance between two opposed pointy corners of the hex (opposed as in going across the hex passing through the center)?
4 - Is it some other measureable aspect of the hex that I am missing?
Obviously, when measuring 'squares', there is no such question since all sides measure the same, but I'm not as clear on using an hex (although from my various google search, I get a feeling it's probably answer 2 from my list above).

For a full-world map, such as those generated by the site you linked, a larger hex size is obviously called for, so that you don't need hundreds of thousands of hexes. I haven't counted the dimensions of the maps generated by that site, but the 250-mile hexes you came up with for an Earth-sized world sound about right to me.
Characters simply move from hex to adjacent hex, changing direction as they like. To determine the distance between two hexagons, just count hexes by the shortest path (in most cases, there will be a number of equally short paths). Using a hex-based grid changes relatively little about the game, but it poses a mapping dilemma for the DM.
