Title: Looking for Hex Paper
Post by: John Wick on June 27, 2001, 10:39:00 PM
Anybody know where I can download hex paper?

(Sorry I couldn't think of any other forum to ask this in. It's for one of the forthcoming WICKED PRESS products, so it's _kinda_ on-topic...)

Thanks in advance,
John

John--

Check out http://www.seankreynolds.com/rpgfiles/HexPaper.pdf. It's one sheet of hex paper in PDF format.

There's a spiffy shareware program (Windows only) for MANY variations of graph/hex paper printouts at:

http://perso.easynet.fr/~philimar/graphpapeng.htm

A "small" and a "large" ASCII version of hex paper are available at:

A DOS command line hex .BMP generator (you can set the size) is available at:

I couldn't find anything that'd output numbered hexes (you know, 0101, 0102 and all that?)

Oops.

Between me reading Clinton's message and posting a reply, two more people dropped in to help.

Thanks _everybody_!

Just a caution - sometime around when I downloaded the programs listed in my previous msg, my machine was infected with a virus - FunLove, not terribly destructive but a bear to get rid of.

I'm not saying it came from one of those programs, but I figured it couldn't hurt to warn folks . . .

Cumberland Fontworks also has a nice Graph Paper font.  I didn't try it out, since I don't have a lot of need for graph paper, but it looks appropriately flexible.
