By popular demand, the Tropical Coast Hex Tile set is here!
For this release, there are no "maps" per se (other than the free demo map). Instead you can drop these hex tiles onto 4 different background mats and make your own terrain. I find in my games I always need to tweak the terrain layout on the fly, and this set will let you do just that.
There are a total of 75 tiles, each 5 "normal" hexes tall, or 5 inches tall. There are several different sets so you can connect 4 different biomes: water to sand, sand to jungle, jungle to rock, rock to water, rock to sand, and jungle to water. Plus I've included a bunch of single hex terrain features like islands, volcanos, and shoals.

Foundry VTT Module
This tile set was designed to work very well with the Oceans, Islands, and Ships release, so you can mix and match terrain features, coast lines, larger islands, etc. In fact, if you've already purchased Oceans, Islands, and Ships for Foundry, you'll find the module has been updated to include these hex tiles. Head over to that set's page to pick them up.
While those who have the Oceans, Islands, and Ships Foundry module will find this already setup in the module, I found the best way to use these tiles is this:
- Set the grid up for hex columns (flat tops).
- Set the grid size to 162. This is the width of one hex. The height is 140 pixels, and 1" = 140 pixels.
- Drag on tiles and make the 140 pixels tall or 162 pixels wide.
- Rotate and flip them as needed!
- This will make your tiles 5 inches (or 5 hexes) across! Great for hex crawls!
- I like to make my Ship Tokens 1 hex wide by 3 hexes tall.
