An endless hex map for your fantasy world, living inside Obsidian.

Paint continents one hex at a time. Watch forests, roads, and rivers join themselves as the map grows. Name hexes and features, track your party on the map, and reskin the whole world with custom tilesets.

Features

  • Zero setup. Open the map and click. Very easy to use, and fully supports touchscreens.
  • Prepare the map or uncover it one hex at a time. Add terrain, then add features to it, roads, rivers, give it a name if it's memorable.
  • Make it yours. Default tileset not covering your story's needs? Add your own tilesets with terrain or features as a folder with PNGs, and use it on your map immediately. Also, use your own player or party token if you want to.
  • Easy controls. Double click, right click - it's all there.
  • Configurable. Many things can be changed through built-in plugin settings menu.

Install

  1. Copy main.js, styles.css, and manifest.json into <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/vpahexcrawl/.
