Well, I don't think it...Thanks, Christopher! Well, I don't think it's about standards per se. If I want a map, Hexographer is a good tool to make one. But the B.R.T.G. is more about producing a setting. I could use Hexographer to make a map of that region, but there is also a topographical map in those numbers and a history. It even has political borders. With Hexographer I could maybe visualize half of the information I got with this system.<br /><br />But there is more (and yet more to come ...). Add B and C to get indications about the weather. You'll get a number between 2 and 20 and it illustrates the mix between Elevation and complexity of a given hex-field. The higher the number, the more likely it is that the weather stays. Roll above the difficulty and the weather moves over the field (roll a D20 to find out). What I'm saying is, there's a lot a DM can do with this other than keeping track of everybody moving around and get a hint what the scenery looks like. In an ideal case this ends up being a world engine, where everything that happens is chance and not DM fiat. A true sandbox, if you will.Jens D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18394303166081684904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6617677799085549365.post-38242442373436516542015-08-07T09:26:31.915+02:002015-08-07T09:26:31.915+02:00I'm finding this very interesting.
