I am currently engaging in a real-life hexcrawl of Jeff Rients’s Wessex campaign setting.
Now, Jeff made some mapping errors, I think. Hexes 0113 and 1004 are both hilly as fuck, 1004 especially. Most of the line between 1310 and 1403 isn’t as hilly as depicted. But also, the roads are wrong. Here is a rough sketch.
Also, the City of Christminster, in addition to housing the invisible college of wizardry, perhaps with Roger Bacon as its master, harbors Wagon Pixies who set cunning traps for outlanders. To wit:
The discerning eye will notice that, due to the slope, you not only have to find Reverse, but have to be going really fast to overcome gravity. But if you mis-shift into First Gear, that means you will smash into the lower car. If, however, you manage to get into Reverse, you will race back into the wall. Either way, you must Save versus Liability at -5.
Maps of an Anarchy-period keep, Tintagel Castle, and Merlin’s Cave to follow next time I get wifi, which may be after I get back.
