Silver Hills Regional Hexcrawl Project
I've been running a Revolver Hex Crawl for a few weeks, and I thought publishing it here as I work on it would motivate me to clean it up and continue working on it. I'll try to flesh out at least one new hex a week and link them here. By the end, there will be a gameable hex crawl one can use or steal parts from!
