My irl group has done some simple structureless dnd 5E dungeons and boat travel, and a heart delve, but I want to run them through a hex crawl and then a dungeon crawl. Give them a good taste for procedurally mediated exploration (gameplay rules for exploration). Any recommendations of either modules (any game) or games (any kind).

One Canuck built the #ttrpg tag and the #mecha tag. And that was me.

you (rhetorically, I mean I here) can just run the Midgar opening of ff7 in ICON. You (again, I) can just do it. The optional rules for Trek give you (me, see previous parenthetical) the tools to organize the opening into a series of plot beats/obstacles for players to run up against (remember heart delves? remember the dungeon rules from Perilous Wilds?) while still leaving space for player choice. But if you already know what your players want (you have been communicating well) then don't sweat linearity, go for collaboration.
Best bit is at the end where the author is taking distinct mapping methods and sharing how they can be incorporated in different scopes of the game.
