Why GMs use Hexus
- Fantasy map tools can be beautiful but slow when you only need a playable region.
- Battlemap tools excel at rooms, not always sandbox wilderness crawls.
- Generators give landmasses — Hexus helps you paint the geography in your head.

From blank grid to session-ready

- Paint the frontier — Block forests, hills, water; place points of interest.
- Export for play — PNG/SVG for VTT or print.
Built-in tile art is for creating and playing maps in Hexus — not for redistributing or selling the artwork. Commercial games need your own or licensed marketplace art. See the Exports tab for licensing detail.
