What programs do you use for making hexmaps? I want to make a map for my players but my art skills are very lacking

I don’t make hexmaps, but I’m quite fond of Dungeonscrawl. IIRC, it supports hex-backgrounds as well as hexagonal rooms. It’s pretty straightforward and easy to use, ymmv for hexmaps tho

Oof. Hex is tricky.

Dungeondraft is, IMO, phenomenal for mapmaking (and has a huge community of asset creators), but it is designed more for square grids than hex.

It'll still work because you can turn off the grid and then layer over your own, but all the snapping and stuff is built around rectilinear alignment.
