HEXROLL 2E - beta update #10 - solo hex crawling, map pins and quick help

Added 2024-06-30 10:07:55 +0000 UTC

Greetings Brave Adventurers,

Today's update introduces the new solo hex-crawling mode, map pins and a quick help window.

The new solo-mode generator (an online-only feature) is now available on hexroll.app. Solo-mode sandboxes have all their hexes hidden by-default. When generating a solo sandbox, you will be presented with a list of settlements or dungeons to start your character/s journey from. You can then begin exploring and adventuring hex flower-by-hex flower. No-spoilers mode will be set for you by-default as well. Solo-mode is using the same hex revealing mechanism used for VTT games.

Map pins is a convenient way to mark hexes of interest. You can use them together with editing and adding notes to any page (you also have the 'notes' style in the editor for this). Map pins can be added or removed by pressing the P key while visiting any hex in crawl-mode.

Finally, instead of memorizing the keyboard shortcuts, you can now click the help button (or just remember the H key) and get a quick help window listing all available keyboard shortcuts.

Here is today's change log:
