100 descriptions for exploring empty hexes


Kingmaker


Greetings,

I'm trying to set up a large table of random scenic but otherwise unimportant small descriptions for when my party explores an empty hex in the stolen lands.

I'd love to have short 1 to 2 sentence entries that would be thematical to the land.

I already have a couple about lovely brooks, animals mating, meeting a local fisherman who sells his catch, and so on.

Thanks!

I could compile them in a list


There are a lot of GMs in this forum that have had similar ideas. A search such as "hex descriptions" on this Kingmaker forum can help point you in that direction, if you're interested. Here's a few of the previous efforts that I found:

Thanks that's really helpful !

Having run it 1x (Pathfinder rules) and currently (5E rules), one universal remains on hexploration that I cannot stress enough!

Abandon it, at worst, part-way through the 2nd module.

I had a table by terrain, largely from these forums, and I'd have something unique (might lead to adventure if the PCs make it an adventure) and mark where (e.g. North East of Hex Q).

However, after the PCs have a kingdom started, it will become more of a chore and less of an adventure to catalog hexes filled with meaningless flavor text about beautiful waterfalls. They should have hunters, Jubilost, and others doing that 1st level stuff for them.
