Just checking, is there an update date on printing of the new decks? Never received the Drivethrurpg print on demand code for the second set.
Project Update: The Crowdfunding it over. Long live the Crowdfunding--New Decks Launched!
But now that we close this chapter, we start a new one...
The next wave of Hexploration Decks has just launched on Kickstarter! The campaign page includes full details, sample downloads, and a link to the free web-based hex map HexLands tool.
- Along the Way: Discover roadside attractions, curious encounters, and the paths and trails that connect your world.
- Strongholds: Populate your campaign with unusual forts, castles, towers, and other fantastic structures.
Like our previous Hexploration decks, each new deck includes:
- 40 Location cards – each with evocative art on one side and charts of related prompts on the other.
- 10 Traits cards – each packed with thematic tables you can apply to any location (imagine a Hidden Evil Chapel or a Magically Warded tower).
- 5 Reference cards – filled with general charts and helpful advice tied to the deck’s theme.
Back it early for a bonus 8 hex map tiles & a 10+ clings--if you're getting any physical product. (So if you already have the tiles, you can still get a few more even if you're just getting the new decks.)
Here's a sample of one of the new cards:
Previously backed this creator's crowdfunding project
I backed the project for the physical + digital pledge level, received the tiles & cards, and everything looks fantastic. But I just realized that a pdf of the tiles was not included in the $100 physical + digital pledge level. Is there a reason it wasn't? Seems odd to have a digital + physical pledge level that does not include all the digital files
Project Update: Hexploration Decks Along the Way Free Preview
Aside from 10-15 folks who haven't submitted their surveys (if you're in that situation our messages must be going to spam or something so send a note to support at inkwellideas dot com) we've shipped everyone's rewards! And most folks should have them as most shipped before Gen Con or very soon after.
BTW, if you didn't back the original Hexploration Decks crowdfunding (or want more for a friend or extra tiles) they are now available in our store--don't forget to use the coupon code at the top of the store pages.
In case you missed it, we're launching two new two new Hexploration Decks next month. If you're interested, please do follow the link and click the "notify me on launch" button. Knowing how much interest there is will help me understand what I can do with this next phase. This time we're pivoting back to Kickstarter to see how things are going over there.
And now about this post's title... see this link for 10 cards from the "Along the Way" deck! The deck will focus on trails/roads and interesting locations along the way. :) The second planned deck will be "Strongholds": forts, castles, towers, a great wall, and so on. Then if this does well, we do plan to make something for other genres down the road.
Happy gaming!

I got my tiles and decks just fine and they're beautiful. Some time ago, I came across a scrap roll of kitchen linoleum with a hex pattern on it. The day the tiles arrived I had them out to see how they fit and it's a perfect match. I see much arts and crafts in my future.
