Thanks Emily, and glad to hear that you're enjoying them! I'm excited to return to hex tiles some time soon, and will keep your requests handy. :)

Emily Vogel

Hi! I'm using these for a hex crawl I'm planning and love the art so much. Just wanted to put a request/recommendation if you come back to this pack or add a new themed pack. I'd love to have some of the man made buildings be themed like a norse/Viking, Roman, sci fi cities, apocalypse, etc theme. Love your work!

Ross from 2-Minute Tabletop

A good idea, thanks William :)

William Goley

These have been great. I recommend a set of basic land tiles/tree tiles, basically any terrain you've made - that gradually transitions between different colors. Like for the North of my map, I'd love a green/white transition as the forest shifts into a snowy landscape. Just an idea. Thank you!

Not elegantly, as they won't snap to any kind of hexagonal grid unfortunately

can these work with wonderdraft?

Mitch Kelley

Where is the guide for these?

There are tiles in the World Map Hex Tiles Pack that are not in the dungeondraft files, like the lush versions of the wetlands and the cursed versions of the forests and buildings. Will those be released in a dungeondraft file, too?

Ross from 2-Minute Tabletop

I do think we'll be returning to these some time – thanks for the encouragement!

I absolutely love these tiles. The guide for how to use them in Dungeondraft was a lifesaver, it was very easy to use after that. I really really hope for an expansion of this set! I could use a Mesa set. Maybe even with carved out cities (styled like Petra in Jordan or the Lycian Tombs in Turkey). Aside from that, more variations of existing tile types is always welcome.

Ross from 2-Minute Tabletop

Thanks for your feedback, Peregrin! Especially as we find ways to make these more easy to use, the chance of an expansion goes up and up...

Peregrin

I'm definitely enjoying using these to re-make my world map. My only gripe currently is the lack of variety in the mountains, I could use a few more in-between sizes and variations on the different styles. Otherwise, so far so good!

If you are using a VTT like roll 20 setting your Cell width to 87.5 pixels seems to fit the top of the hex tiles into a grid very nicely.

This is the post you're looking for. Have fun! https://www.patreon.com/posts/2024-packs-97606867

Where is the dungeon draft version of the World Map Hex Tiles PACK with the extra tiles?

Furkan Meriç

Totally agree with this comment. Aside from that these tiles are amazing dude.

Ross from 2-Minute Tabletop

I hear ya – I hope to revisit hex tiles and either create a tool to manage these annoyances or tweak the images themselves. Stay tuned. :)

Johannes Monz

Alright, looking forward to it. I do think just leaving out the bases would be a good first step, even though this does of course not solve the overlapping issues completely

Was super excited about these but quickly got frustrated. It's the 3D bit that's causing problems. If they were flat it would be fast and easy to build. But those chunky edges make it unusably clunky. I would love a version of this without the 3d tile bit, or having the 3d tile but separate so I can add it to the final tiles on the map. That would actually be LESS tedious. Love this idea, excited to see some improvements, hoping for more variety, not just new biomes, but also more variations of current biomes.

Ross from 2-Minute Tabletop

Thanks Mathjis! We're looking into it actually, and the community's made some progress on Discord already.

Ross from 2-Minute Tabletop

I'm afraid they've got the be placed in order from top to bottom right now, but I hope to come up with something better for a Pt.2 :)

Ross from 2-Minute Tabletop

Not yet, anyway! Definitely a contender for a Pt.2

Mathijs Verheijen

It would be very cool if these tiles would work with Hex Kit. It's a hex map making program with the option to add custom tiles. So maybe that's worth a try

Johannes Monz

I'm really sorry to say this, but I don't understand how I am supposed to use these. Because of the bases that are present, I dont see how youre supposed to efficiently place the tiels without the bases overlapping other tiles. Is there some trick to this that I am not sseing?

Charles Esque

Ok...I absolutely love these...so much...but...no jungle?

Ross from 2-Minute Tabletop

Thank you for your excellent feedback, Felix! The cropping was *supposed* to make them easier to use by (in theory) snapping them to a square grid, but something's gone wrong along the way. I'll have to revisit that idea. I'll see what I can do about the bases too. I'll get home to my proper work PC in the middle of the month and then take a good look.

Ross from 2-Minute Tabletop

Right now we just have image editors like Gimp/Photoshop/Paint.net in mind, but I have some ideas for other tools. Hope you'll stay tuned. :)

Colleen Robertson

This is amazing! I’m so excited to start using these for my campaign!!

Felix Klengel

These are super cool, but after messing around with them for like 2-3 hours, I realized they're kinda fiddly to use as is and I will probably stick to my current ways of map making. The main issue is that the bottom part get in your way when tiling and you have to keep messing with the layer order when tiling them. I'd wish there was a version without these. I love the look, but probably won't use them much because of the hassle. Also, why aren't they cropped to the actual tile size? Ends up you're always clicking on some transparent part of a layer above. Managed to work around it by batch cropping, but it felt a tad clunky. And a quick asside, since it might just be an oversight: the mountain tiles are the only once that are not centered/positioned within the file like the others.

Matt Sherwood

I'm curious too! Normally use dungeondraft but would like to know other programmes that can use these assets

Saturnine

I was really excited to see this pack included - so versatile and broadly useful. A little repetitive to build, but this has a great variety of tiles and it'll allow for so much flexibility. Much more feasible to make regional maps for me with something like this.

Victor BRET

I really like these too ! But I wonder what would be the easiest way to use them? I feel like getting the assets aligned might be tedious. I am missing some obvious tool ? I am currently using Wonderdraft to draw worldmaps (with many 2MNTT assets ;) ) and I am not sure how I could switch to these ?
