110 Hexes Give or Take

07 Jan, 2026

If you have not joined the Antarctic Adventure Jam, you should do so RIGHT now as we still have 50ish days until the deadline. Even one hex would help fill out the map!

This is about a quarter of my hexes. I am using Luke's Wolves Hexfill Procedure. This is written for a Wolves like system and I still need to go through them. I joined the jam without a strong idea of a setting or lore in my head and just started writing. Through the course of writing I have had this faction called the Militant Sophists creep up as well as some impending end of the world due to stars falling from the skies. We will see how it ties together in the end. Drop some of these in your campaign, rip shit out of them, get nuts. Check back in around March and this region among dozens of others should be fully playable.
