A downloadable sandbox generator

HEXROLL for 5E is the 5E conversion of my online sandbox generator - designed to randomize skeletal content for table-top role-playing games. It is currently in public beta.


Here's what you'll find in HEXROLL for 5E:

  • An interactive hex map with dungeon maps, cave maps and settlement maps that you can zoom into and interact with.
  • Plenty of randomly generated content, NPCs, monsters, treasures and quest hooks with clear & terse description.
  • Built-in VTT with hex map, dungeon maps, and ready-to-use fog of war — no preparation is needed. Tokens library and 3D dice included.
  • Solo-mode — generate a sandbox and go out on a solo adventure.
  • The option to re-roll sandbox pages and individual sandbox entities.
  • Rich-text editor for any sandbox page so you can change the content or add inspiring images.
  • Hexroll Backpack — an offline viewer (electron-based, read-only) for sandbox snapshots so you can use your sandbox without being connected to the app or keep your ephemeral sandbox before it expires.

Consider using 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.
