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

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!

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
