This tool, using Spwack's list to HTML generator, will make a largely system-agnostic 10x10 hex key for a classic D&D region. It does not generate a map image. If you were planning a campaign with this too,l I would recommend labeling bolded entries on a hex map and very little else.
The region will be dominated by two random types of landscape, with a few outliers. It will also describe various settlements and inhabitants, assuming a Human-majority world. Each region will have a couple "motifs," recurring contents meant to give a sense of continuity to the region, so do not be surprised if the same entry shows up a few times.
The generator will suggest naming conventions, but has no way of applying those to all the people and places that are generated. I suggest using the search feature of this website, which should have all types of names that the generator suggests. Omissions in naming conventions are based on the fact that I wanted to suggest names that were easily searchable.
This has been a labor of love, and I can easily imagine spending a lot longer designing this. A future version may one day arrive that includes details like treasure hoards, expanded lists, and greater variety of motifs.
I see an error in which some features will get stuck between generations. Until I fix this, you should reload the page each time you want to generate a hexcrawl.
