Publication history
Hex Sheets was published by Games Workshop in 1978 as a 50-sheet pad.[1]
Shannon Appelcline explained that by the late 1970s, Games Workshop "expanded its publishing arm beyond White Dwarf and reprints of American products. Among their first original products were a pad of character sheets (1978), a pad of hex sheets (1978), and the Dungeon Floor Plans (1979) gaming accessory, each of which carried the Dungeons & Dragons trademark; they were some of the few licensed D&D products ever authorized by TSR."[2]: 139–140
Games Workshop later produced a set of Wilderness Hex Sheets in 1982,[3] as a pad containing 50 A4 paper sheets printed with 6 mm hexes.[4]
