Oh wow, I was just pointed to Matt Strom’s blog, Ice and Ruin. Not only does it have a cool name, but Matt is also super enthusiastic about Hex Describe. I had forgotten all about it until Whidou reminded me of it on Lasagne Social.
Wow!

Hey Alex. Your program is amazing. I love the maps its made, and my players are stoked to play an old school hexcrawl. My brain has run out of fuel this last year and I couldn’t even begin designing a map being burnt out.
Your tool is amazing and it’s definitely re-inspired me. I had a question regarding posting in custom tables. I’m trying to use this site https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1RitCJ--w_ao4NOSdj8lo2DHT9CgdUN-nKQz802k_0Jk/mobilebasic
https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1RitCJ--w_ao4NOSdj8lo2DHT9CgdUN-nKQz802k_0Jk/mobilebasic
But posting the URL doesn’t work and I cannot copy/paste the entirety of the form. Do you have any advice on what I may be doing wrong? Thanks again for your crazy mad work.

Hi Paul. I think at one point I integrated that document already. So here’s what I suggest you do:
1. Visit the Hex Describe site
2. Above the text area, click the link in “Load random Smale data.”
3. Below the text area, below the Submit button, click the radio button “Matt Strom (best for Smale maps)”
4. Now click the Submit button 🙂

You’re welcome. Thank you for the kind words. 🙂
And sorry for the usability issues of the software. I only see it when I have to write down how to use it. 😅
