Azgaar's Fantasy Map generator has a lot of depth to the controls and if you tweak the settings enough, you can arrive at a map that fits your needs. https://azgaar.github.io/Fantasy-Map-Generator/ Watabou has some good tools for procedurally generating maps, not a world, but you could stitch together some of the realm maps to create a world. You can then generate maps for towns and cities in the world. https://watabou.github.io/ Songs of the Eons is a game that is in development that procedurally generates a world and several maps including geological, topographical, climate etc. It is free while in development. https://demiansky.itch.io/songs-of-the-eons There is also Inkarnate which has a free version. It is an online map making app. https://inkarnate.com/ More on reddit.com

Hello all, I am starting to build a campaign I am making and I wanted to use a Map Creator online that is free to make the map of my continent, if anybody ha... More on dndbeyond.com

My method is to jump back and forth between Azgaar and Donjon and screenshot all the shapes I like - I find Donjon better for large, Earth-like continental masses and Azgaar better for large islands and archipelagos. Then I slap them together in whatever photo editor I have handy, and that's my first draft. I typically ignore any topology that's generated; I'd rather work out some tectonics myself and put in my mountains that way, but that's just me. Knowing a thing or two about tectonics will also let you spot any parts of the map that look unlikely to occur naturally, so you can revise it for future drafts. I make heavy use of tools like MapToGlobe - make sure your map's image file is exactly twice as wide as it is tall (known as the square/rectangular projection - Donjon can generate this for you) and you can upload it (Planet > Surface) and see what it looks likes on a sphere. You can do the same thing in GPlates , which is clunky to use at first, but is much easier to draw borders on, allowing you to trace your map and edit the shapes of your landmasses to avoid warping at the poles. A basic guide on using GPlates is here . If you're like me and you're feeling really neurotic about it I've done some ridiculous stuff like printing off the shapes I want, sticking them to my computer screen, cranking the brightness and tracing the outline in GPlates, but I realize that's overkill for most people haha. Good luck! More on reddit.com
