Jason Hibdon’s Rockhome, 8 miles per hex
In April 2020, Jason Hibdon began posting a wonderful series of maps to the Mystara Reborn group on Facebook. He used Campaign Cartographer 3+ to draft the maps, basing them on the Atlas of Mystara 8 mile per hex series. The result is a stunning conversion of Mystara’s traditional hex art to a modern art style.
Jason then revisited his early maps the next month to match his evolving style, de-hexifying the borders, adding a background texture to the hills, and making light forests look less regular. Both versions are presented below, beginning with the latest one, from May 2020.
Rockhome followed Alfheim as Jason’s sixth map. The mountains look rather majestic, don’t you think?
