Presenting Hex Quest, a free to download 3D printable, low-poly-ish world mapping system created for paper and pencil RPG systems such as D&D, Pathfinder, etcetera. All 1-inch tiles have been optimized for 3D printing to require no supports, and have been tested and re-tested with an FDM printer equipped with a 0.3mm nozzle for detail quality and strength.

How you use this system is up to you!

-If you don't want to use the provided grid, glue pieces of sheet magnet to the backs and make maps on magnetic whiteboards, or your fridge!

-Make big maps for your group's world, glue everything down on a board and hang it on the wall!

-Make little maps at the table for small campaigns! (Mini maps!)
Let everyone grab tiles and build your world cooperatively!

-Have adventure hooks prepared for different unique location tiles, let players replace Mystery tiles on your map from a random draw bag maybe, who knows?

If you want to make your own tiles, you have my blessing!

Suggestion: Print forests, paths, and river tiles in green, then color in the roads and water with a bit of paint, colored tape, or whatever you have available. Mountains in brown, oceans in blue, you get the idea!

This was a couple weeks worth of modeling exercise, and I had a lot of fun. I hope some of you manage to have some fun with it as well!

I only had gray PLA on hand to print the test tiles out; if you'd like to help me get more colors and encourage me to make more tiles for this system, as well as more D&D minis, consider donating to me through tipping or buying me a coffee!

If you liked this model and want to show your thanks, you can buy me a coffee!
