blank province, kingdom, and continent hex maps for 5e

provincemapI just talked about the DMG map scales for 5e D&D: province (1 mile hex), kingdom (6 mile hex), and continent (60 mile hex).

Maybe you want to try drawing up a new continent for your brand new 5e game. I’ve made print-resolution blank hex map PDFs for the three map scales. As suggested in the DMG, it’s 5 hexes to the inch.

Province map has kingdom hexes overlaid on it so you can easily place it on your kingdom map.

Kingdom map has a continent hex overlay.

Continent map is just a plain hex grid.

Here’s a zip of all three.

    Well done! The overlays are a great idea. Should make “zooming” very easy. If I can get my 5E campaign up and running, I will almost certainly make use of these!

    Just awesome. Many thanks!

    Looks good.
    Question: is the size (1 mi, 6 mi, 60 mi) measured facet to facet or vertex to vertex?

    Why use hexes for overland maps? They don’t divide evenly into squares as far as I can see. A 5 ft square grid likely will never line up properly with a 1 mile hex grid. Or the other way around. They are completely incompatible shapes, as far as overlap goes.

    I know the hexes have history going back to OD&D, but I don’t see why they stick around.

    Thank you, truly. This is excellent!

    This is great, any chance of a landscape format? (rotating it rotates the hexes obviously, an actual landscape option would be nice)

    Jillette discussed his weight loss in more detail in episode 158 of his podcast, Penn’s Sunday School. He said that he found himself in the hospital on Halloween 2014 (October 31), because of various complications of being fat. You might remember Season 5, Episode 1 of Penn & Teller’s television show Bullshit!, “Obesity,” in which we learned that the obesity epidemic was “bullshit.” But apparently Jillette has…
