Howdy Ben, Welcome to the Guild.

If yopu are interested in making Hex maps, you might want to look at Hexographer (or hexgrapher...or hexmapper...or something like that. The memory, she not be so good) that a member here developed. I believe it has a free and pro version. Try a forumn search for hex maps and I am sure that it will show up.

Have fun here and good luck with your project.
