Below are some 2D6 (or in one case 2D7) 19 Hex Flower game engines that I’ve stumbled across. It is interesting to see the direction people have gone with this idea. I think this reveals how useful and flexible a tool it could be in procedural adventure generation …

      Hi Daniel – Nice!

      I see this uses a straight D6 roll (instead of a 2D6 with a bell probability curve) and does not use the wrap-around mechanic.

      Of course, it works as is, but the bell and wrap options could be included in this system. I’m keen to take a closer look at this in any event!

      Thanks for sharing
      :O)

    I just discovered these, and I think they’re fantastic. I’m trying one of my own making this week with my group–the PCs are investigating the kidnapping of a scholar in a city. I’m still putting it together, and it may suck, but I definitely want to try.
