Tabletop role-playing settled on a one-inch square standing for five feet of dungeon, because a 25 to 28 mm figure on a one-inch base fits it exactly. Print at actual size and your minis will land on the grid the way they do on a bought mat.
The hex overlay exists because squares and hexes disagree about diagonals. Some systems count a diagonal as one square, some as one and a half, and some avoid the question with hexes. Printing both lets one mat serve either.
A3 gives you a usable playing area; tape two sheets for a bigger encounter.
Every sheet here is free, adjustable and prints at exact scale.
Yes, if you print at Actual size (100%). A one-inch square takes a standard 25 mm round base with room to spare.
Games that measure distance in hexes avoid the diagonal problem squares have. Printing hexes over the squares lets one sheet serve both kinds of rules — or turn the overlay off entirely.
Fine lines dividing each square into a smaller grid, so you can place a figure or a piece of terrain part way into a square without guessing.
