Inkwell Ideas Releasing Hexploration Decks & Map Tiles At Gen Con 2025!

Several tiles, features, and rivers and coasts. — Digital version of a sample map using the tiles, features, rivers, and coasts. Plus the front and back of one of the Hexploration Deck location cards.

We’ve been hard at work finalizing text, art, layout, and coordinating printing—doing everything we can to ensure our brand-new Hexploration Decks and Map Tiles are ready for Gen Con. These are evocative, system-neutral tools packed with ideas and beautiful art to help you bring your fantasy game world to life!

And the hard work has paid off: the decks, laminated terrain tiles, and reusable static cling overlays are all on track to arrive within the next couple of weeks. (Bonus: Since we print in the USA, we avoid the usual headaches of overseas delays and tariffs.)

That gives us plenty of time to fulfill orders for our awesome crowdfunding backers—and still bring loads of copies to Gen Con!

Find us at Booth #150, along the left wall near the side entrance (if you’re looking from the main doors).
