I revised the Atlas template dimensions to be 5 regional blocks square. Also dropped Campaign Cartographer 2 from the Hex Template download (the CC3 templates should load in CC2; if it doesn't work, please email me via the Contact Us form).

The Atlas templates (portrait and landscape) are now available in Hexographer format. Download the updated ZIP file (v 1.3) above to get the new templates.

@Jeff Rients : Thanks, Jeff. I'm also thinking this would help illustrate the swath of destruction left by locust swarms. Or (dig this) how big a kingdom has to be given a number of settlements. Or subinfeudating a dragon's territory to various goblin clans.

UPDATE – 3 Mar 2010:
Reworded text and table to clarify the size of monster territory.

Nice work! The colossal category would be useful for tarrasque rampages.

@Brenton : I should point out that I didn't make these icons - just hosting them and making them available. That said, Hex it up!

Yes! Thanks so much, this has been literally the exact thing that I was wishing the Hexographer had. Welshpiper to the rescue!

@deimos3428 : Noted. I think the easiest solution is to put certain creatures in a different category, as suits your campaign. I suppose I could add another size category, but there's a part of me that thinks that 8 may be too many already. I'm working on a batch of creatures for fantasy - maybe some more practical examples will point the way...

I like the idea, though I think the exponential curve fits much better on the low end than it does on the high. Perhaps it’s simply a matter of adding a few more sizes in there, or doubling some of them up.

(I have met a few horses in my day, and they’re closer to four humans in size. Never met a dragon but I suspect they’re much larger than eight humans, as we can easily fit that many in a small conference room at work.)
