HEXROLL 3
A downloadable RPG sandbox generator for Windows, macOS, and Linux
HEXROLL 3 (early access) is the latest version of the award-winning fantasy sandbox generator, now a standalone, open-source application.
What's inside:
- A fantasy sandbox random generator with an interactive hex map, dungeon maps, cave maps and settlement maps.
- Keyed locations with plenty of randomly generated, inter-connected content: NPCs, monsters, treasures and quest hooks with clear & terse descriptions.
- Built-in VTT with hex map revealing tools and ready-to-use fog of war and dynamic lighting - no preparation is needed. A stylized tokens library and 3D dice included.
- Solo-mode - built-in support for playing a solo campaign.
- Don't like something? Re-roll it.
- OSR and 5E random generator models included.
New in this version:
- Local storage - your sandbox is offline & truly yours.
- Built-in hybrid hex map editor/generator.
- Dry-erase tool, movement measuring ruler and other vtt goodies.
- Ability to rollback destructive changes.
- Multi-level dungeons and underground city locations.
- Ability to add/remove locations inside settlements.
- Optionally pair and use your current online non-ephemeral sandbox.
Use Hexroll if you want:
- Randomly generated content that you can peacefully sacrifice ("..that dragon just wiped out a village..").
- Zero or near-zero game prep time.
- Terse descriptions, easy to read-and-work with on the spot.
- Enough room to improvise and fill-in the blanks.

Question, where is it stored locally and how you you delete a sandbox? I've made a couple while playing around with it and I can't figure out how to delete them. I though you might need to delete the actual file but I can't figure out where it is.
Data is stored in your operating system user's data folder.
On Linux:
$HOME/.local/share/hexroll3On Windows:
C:\Users\[USER]\AppData\Roaming\hexroll3On MacOS:
$HOME/Library/Application Support/hexroll3I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS LET'S GOOOOOO :D
