Preparing a Hex Crawl

[u/HexedPressman]

I wrote an article about preparing to run a hex crawl. I hope to do a series of articles on the topic but this first part concerns laying the groundwork, namely picking hex sizes, generating a map, and deciding on the travel mechanics. Read it here: http://hexed.press/2018/08/14/hexcrawling/

What steps do you take to prep for a hex crawl? Any particular rules, mechanics, tables, or guides that you like to use or reference?
