Hello there DnD subreddit. I know that some here have strong oppinions about using AI generated art and content in their games but I am a starting DM with limited resources and AI genersted content would be a real asset for me.
Are there any good AI programs that are good for generating Maps, Art and content?
Hey everyone, I'm Thomas, and as a passion project I've been developing Fantasy Town Generator. It's a free webapp that DMs can use to create detailed, customisable settlement maps - from villages to cities. In addition to the map, it creates the buildings, people, and factions in the city. You can see some examples in this imgur post.
I started this project as, as a DM, I struggled to keep track of the various tools, tables, and notes I was using to handle improvised city content when my players inevitably went off my planned path. Using FTG, everything is now centralised so I can quickly answer questions like: Where's the nearest tavern, Who's there? Where do they live / work? Where's that person from last session?
Here are some other stand out features:
Powerful customisation options, for example drawing water features, and custom races
After generation, everything can be edited
People have schedules, and will move around as you change the time
Random events to provide interesting encounters in the settlement
Note - you don't need to create an account to use Fantasy Town Generator, however if you want to create a settlement that is permenantly saved in the cloud, an account is needed.
I've now been working on this for a few years, constantly tweaking and adding new features. I'd really appreciate it if you checked it out - I hope it will serve you well! If you have any questions or other feedback, please let me know!
Once again, heres the link: Fantasy Town Generator

Does anybody know any good (preferably free) city map makers/generators for fantasy settings?
Thanks in advance
Hey fellow adventurers and Dungeon Masters,
I'm on a quest to discover the magical world of AI-generated battlemaps for our beloved Dungeons & Dragons campaigns. Have any of you brave souls delved into this realm and emerged victorious, with battlemaps conjured by the power of AI? If so, I beseech you to share your secrets and experiences!
🔮 What AI programs or tools did you use to craft your battlemaps?
📜 What advice can you offer to those aspiring to harness AI for this noble cause?
Roll for initiative and share your AI-powered battlemap sagas below! 🎉
Hi everyone! I’m the creator of Fantasy Town Generator, a free tool for generating fantasy settlements, from tiny hamlets to large cities. You can create a settlement in seconds, and then explore the buildings and people that have been created for you.
Some key features:
Many map options - rivers, coasts, districts, walls, and more
Clickable buildings - see what each one is, what it sells, and who’s currently there
Detailed people - appearance, personality, relationships, and stats
Time simulation - change the time of day and people will move around
Factions & events - secret meetings, conflicts, and story hooks for DMs
Fully customizable - edit everything, including the map, or start from a blank canvas
Foundry VTT and Roll20 integration - share maps with players for interactive sessions
It’s free, and no login is required unless you want to save settlements to the cloud. Note, there is a premium tier that unlocks unlimited settlements and some other features.
I’ve been working on this as a passion project for the last few years, and I’m still actively working on it. You can join the discord to get regular updates and share feedback: https://discord.com/invite/RrUNpebjGD

I’d love to hear what you think, and I’m happy to answer any questions!
If so...I'd love to see your prompt(s) if you're willing to share.
I've been trying to so an isometric world map or even a single continent/country with borders for nations/countries, but have been unsuccessful.
Any help would be appreciated, but I do own Campaign Cartographer but am always overwhelmed when trying to start out.
Are there any city generators I could use to create a list of all the buildings and NPCs in a city/town/village? Generating the map can be optional - I just want to take the list of folks and their shops and put them into an existing city map.
I posted a question like this in one of the D&D subs and I must've worded it poorly - didn't really yield any answers. So I thought I'd try here, too.
Thanks
Watabou's Medieval Fantasy City Generator is a pretty amazing city and town map generator.
Automated Infinigrad Suburb Generator for generating content.
Another Eigengrau Generator for fantasy city content.
Modern City map generator and block description generator.
I think this is what you are looking for more or C less. It fleshes out the city for you and if you go through all the customization options it’s pretty good.

Straight forward question. Does anyone know of an application/website to procedurally generate City maps? Up to this point I’ve just been stealing real city maps of actual cities and removing the labels, but it feels kinda cheap.
I recently stumbled across https://www.kassoon.com/dnd/town-generator/ (which is awesome and I recommend it btw), and was wondering if there are any similar sites you all particularly enjoy/use to help running games. Thank you!
I'm looking for something that produces a random map, kind of like what donjon can do.
A lot of resources give you the details of a city, but no map. The things that produce a map don't really give me what I'm looking for.
I'd appreciate the sharing of the knowledge. :)
Might not be on as big of a scale as you're looking for, and since it uses tiles it might end up pretty uniform, but the information it generates about the businesses and such could be useful: http://wizardawn.and-mag.com/tool_ftown.php
When comparing to donjon, do you mean its awsome hexagonal map generator with all the geographic goodies?
I'm running a spooky October game and am looking for the best map maker for creating a village. Does anyone have a go to for this or should I just sketch things out myself?
Thanks for the input 😊 I don't generally use map makers so any advice helps
