   My sense is that Mastodon is full of nerds who might like this and find it useful!

   If you have a TeX installation it should have access to the package via CTAN. Just use your package manager to download "gridpapers."

   If you don't use LaTeX and just want the pdfs, you can grab some pre-made papers here:

     And if you use Overleaf it is available there, too. Here is a working example that produces one of the pages shown above: https://www.overleaf.com/project/638f8deb7b66ee5cf5e1bd63

     Obviously the number one use case here is long, involved physics calculations.

     Custom hex grids for D&D wilderness maps is a close second.

     If you use this package to do either of those things, or anything in-between, I encourage you to post a comment or image here!
