The hex crawl is about exploration. To be sure there is geography to be explored, but more importantly there are personalities to be discovered. As a GM I've never felt comfortable beginning a campaign unless I had a dozen or so NPCs ready to go. For me, relationships drive play. With this cover concept, Jay Penn has reduced the Hex 005 down to its core. I love it!
We're looking at a mail date of Monday, April 16. It's going to feel good to get this issue out the door. :)
Those look like some tough customers, but my money's on the owl!

ReplyDeleteNow if we could somehow convince Jay to make the NPC Portrait a recurring feature.... Something like the old Dragon Magazine did for a while (PC Portraits). I know I'd love a page of 5-6 NPC portraits (or PC portraits) to use; no stats needed, or even names. Just generic, individual pictures. Hmm....
ReplyDeleteHmmm, Indeed! What do you think Christian? I'm game if you are and if we can fit them in...
ReplyDeletePerhaps a 'preview portrait' of a character that'll appear in the *next* issue could function as a nice teaser?
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased that people think I can actually think ahead from one issue to the next. Sadly, I can barely put my shoes on the right feet in the morning. ;)
ReplyDeleteWe're supposed to wear shoes?!?!
DeleteNo wonder my feet hurt all the time...
Heh. :) I still have a Balor I need to send you. Dang, my addled, forgetful mind!
DeleteI've been a miniatures sinner... I'm hoping to get my desk area cleaned up to get back to painting, so ship 'em on over!
