Solo Hexcrawling 2.0

Solo Hexcrawling 2.0 is a hands-on guide for solo players who want to explore vast, emergent hex worlds on their own. Spanning beginner-friendly introductions to advanced techniques, this book gives you rules, templates, conversion tools, and digital workflows to create unforgettable solo hexcrawl adventures. It is a complete, table-ready toolkit for charting wild frontiers alone.

Inside you’ll find a clear Guided Start that gets you playing in minutes; robust wilderness and dungeon procedures (watches, travel pace, survival rules, modular room templates, and a d6/d10 oracle suite); plus a compact standalone ruleset so you need nothing else to begin. Start small with a printable one-pager, then expand into factions, journaling, and long-term campaigns. Or use the System Glue framework to graft hexcrawls onto popular solo games like Ironsworn/Starforged, Blades in the Dark, or Four Against Darkness —without losing their unique identity.

Who is it for? Curious newcomers who want a frictionless first step, busy veterans who crave a reliable solo loop, and designers searching for sharp, reusable tools. Whether you have twenty minutes or a long weekend, open the map —your next story is just one hex away.

This is not a minor update of the earlier Solo RPG Hexcrawl. Solo Hexcrawling 2.0: A Standalone Guide to Solo RPG Exploration is a fully revised and greatly expanded book. It adds a complete standalone ruleset, integrates wilderness, dungeon, and campaign procedures, and includes advanced material for faction play, long-term journaling, and even optional AI support.

If you own the previous edition, think of this as a new book, not a light revision. While some core ideas naturally overlap, every section has been rewritten, streamlined, and expanded to provide a sharper, faster, and more flexible solo hexcrawl experience from the ground up.

For those who prefer the earlier approach —including co-op play or the original beginner-focused presentation— Solo RPG Hexcrawl: A Beginner’s Guide to Solo & Co-op Hexcrawling remains available. Both books stand on their own; this edition is simply the next step forward for solo hexcrawl players.
