Disclaimer: Hexton Hills is a Kickstarter campaign by Graven Guild, for more information, please visit https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gravenguild/hexton-hills-tabletop-campaign-map-tiles.
Construction of hexagonal maps using Gravenguild's Hexton Tiles. The main idea is that you can design your game map before printing it, potentially saving on material and giving you a good impression of what your map would look like before assembling it in real-life.

| Add a new tile | Hover over an empty cell and press SHIFT+A |
| Remove a tile | Hover over a tile and press DELETE |
| Substitute a tile | Hover over a tile and press SHIFT+S |
| Rotate a tile | Hover over a tile and press SHIFT+R |
To save the current map, either press CTRL+S or go to File > Save. Maps are stored in a human-readible format with the .htm extension. To load a map from a file, either press CTRL+O or go to File > Open.
