Dang, how can I forget! This part of the guide is dedicated to LordEntrails for solving my map obscuring problem in seconds.

EDIT: I should mention Rob Twohy for I used his pre-gen characters to showcase the pics. Thanks for your generosity and Rest in Peace.

In Hex-Crawling style, themes can be the content of your Hexagons in a map or what your PC will experience in those hexes.

UPDATE for using Line of Sight: It can be done from GM screen: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...l=1#post723669

OG EDIT -- [nope!]: "but playing from player window could be more immersive." [/nope!]

EDIT: Found it! Randomizing Maps part is my version of Paul Bimler's Solo Adventure Resource: The Dungeon Oracle. It is a complete method to play Published Adventures Solo.

EDIT: I think I learned Randomizing Maps from one of the books I've read. I remember somewhere like Paul Bimler's The Toolbox's but I couldn't find any mention in there. If only pen and paper had ctrl+f function. I have the module, it's not there either.

Added to Resources: Laerun's Solo Player Hexploration with ChatGPT: https://chatgpt.com/g/g-vIDKY931L-solo-hexploration

It is a free (ChatGPT) resource by Laerun to flesh out your hex-crawl maps.

EDIT: There is a limit for ChatGPT usage, though.

EDIT: I finally found the source of this, but the usage is older than the video. Of course, with GreatGM's explanations it's way more enlightening.

EDITED x2: Free SRD Rules contains a Bestiary for monsters.

EDITED: I polished this entry up a bit.

UPDATE: I was testing JimSocks' Content Gen 2020 for my guide's module and I'm having problems on generating from templates. It might be because I borked the campaign by first loading extensions then removing them. Or the gen is old and the new theme update has conflicts. DndSpeak tables still have enough content though. I will open a topic about it in forums later.

EDIT: It's working. I just broke my campaign.

EDIT: A Solo RPG System includes everything in here in one book but with its own setting. I'm not in that loop since forever so I can't remember all the settings I tried but Ironsworn and SoloDark are two recent ones. There are old and new Hex Crawl (Diablo Style in an empty hex map + random tables) solo systems, too.
