Hence the usefulness of guidelines to figure how far you can see distant terrain.

Hexcrawling is abstract enough that I figure it's not too hard to find a 40-50' rise somewhere, and it's more important to me that the players are able to see the surrounding hexes so they can make informed decisions about where to go.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07090296806321882601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904133056957353312.post-2317735592657918172013-01-24T14:04:18.027-05:002013-01-24T14:04:18.027-05:00You might also want to include peak hexes, mountai...You might also want to include peak hexes, mountain peaks that are significantly taller than other nearby mountains. They can serve as long distance navigation aids.<br /><br />Locally, from the right place, I can spot peaks easily 50 miles away (and some even father away for example, there are places in Portland OR where Mt. Rainier, some 100+ miles away can be seen).Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15855679156477779666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904133056957353312.post-13885566897011995552013-01-24T13:53:58.134-05:002013-01-24T13:53:58.134-05:00You bastard ken ;-)
