It's not all hexagons, lots of other parties this month! March also features GM Day/Mardi Gras (same day naturally), Read an RPG in Public Week and Pi Day. Plenty to be getting on with...
This may make me look like a newbie, but why are hexagons related to roleplaying? Keep in mind I'm not a D&D player...
ReplyDeleteBtw I'd love it if you took part of the 'game' I suggested on my blog, where you post a word and base a character or story on it

Hexagon grids are what early editions of Dungeons & Dragons used to use for mapping large-scale wilderness maps and Traveller (a classic sci-fi RPG) used hex maps to map space sectors. This was borrowed from earlier wargaming products. This has survived into computer RPGs as well.
