I noticed some discussion on getting maps on the Writers’ Support Thread. I’m here to share some tools which might be useful. Azgaar has a fantasy map generator here: (This tool is open source) > **[Azgaar's Fantasy Map Generator](https://azgaar.github.io/Fantasy-Map-Generator/)** > > Free web app that helps fantasy writers, game masters, and cartographers create and edit fantasy maps * * * Procgen Arcana has a series of map making tools which are available here. Outputs can be used for commercial purposes (but please double check the license on the FAQ page). > **[Watabou's Procgen Arcana](https://watabou.github.io/index.html)** > > Collection of free map generators for tabletop role-playing games and worldbuilding. * * * Watabou (from Procgen Arcana) also has a few other generators (maps or otherwise) on itch. Feel free to take a look and also be sure to double check the licenses before using anything. > **[watabou - itch.io](https://watabou.itch.io/)** * * * Some maps: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/choiceofgames/original/4X/1/e/f/1ef92a82637c0ddbbe102c128e2e6035aa5fcfa1.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/choiceofgames/original/4X/e/4/b/e4b7ee08262a119d6f1821eda5fe61658a309061.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/choiceofgames/original/4X/b/6/3/b635604dd1e6e03fa3394def2e8f69264c5ce643.jpeg) Most of these tools rely on procedural content generation rather than Generative AI. Procedural Content generation is a much older technology which uses randomization and algorithms to generate content. Similar to how games like Civ can make new maps at the click of a button. If anyone wants to share any other creative tools here, feel free to do so. Please share licensing terms if possible. If you want to share generative AI tools, I won’t stop you, but please disclose it clearly. ---

I lost many of my old bookmarks when I had to format both disks, which is fine, because much of it was outdated garbage that I was too lazy to sort through and clean. But I _did_ remember correctly that Donjon has a [Fractal World Generator](https://donjon.bin.sh/world/) which is quite fun. ---

Thank you so much, I was considering drawing a rough sketch of the town I had in mind.
