Geeks rule.

I have a buddy who is teaching his young daughters math skills by... playing AD&D. Temple of Elemental Evil, no less. Srsly old skool. (They're loving it, btw.)

He decided he needed hex paper. He couldn't find cheap hex paper anywhere. He found pricey hex paper, but not cheap.

So, being a geek... he made his own. With proper numbering. And 30-hex uberhexes.

With PostScript.

And a text editor.

I am in awe.

Yeah, I wrote one of those for my final project in a C class in college. Best part? The rand() function I was using (Coherent Unix, ca. 1990) always started with the same seed, and about the three-hundredth iteration of rolling 6x3d6 resulted in six scores sixteen or above, including an 18/47 STR.

Got an 'A' on the project. Sadly, I was only auditing the class.
