As the topic asks... hex maps?
YAY or nay?
I always felt that they were better for mapping the great outdoors, but not so great for more confined spaces.
They also rock for Battletech. ;)

That is a bit of an odd duck question. Me and a friend of mine gave hex maps a try with 3rd edition some time back. What we found was a bit of a mixed bag.
Mechanically we much prefered it over hexes because you had actual arc's in front of your character and there was such a thing as behind and directly behind. It just felt more natural.
An odd side effect was laying out maps. It takes either a lot of fudging (no you can't move onto that hex) or a lot more time drawing it out. The bottom line was that squares were simply easier to make into buildings and interiors than hexes.
