1/2 inch Hexagonal Graph Paper — Letter
At 1/2 inch, hexagons are roomy enough to write or draw inside each cell, making this the standard choice for tabletop and hex-crawl game maps. Each hexagon comfortably holds a terrain symbol, a number, or a short note. Dungeon masters and wargamers favor this size because tokens and miniatures sit cleanly within one tile without crowding neighbors.
