Creating your own maps AutoREALM [free] - This GNU mapping resource is a simple but powerful map-maker. It is a more watered down version of the predecessors, but the maps it makes are still incredibly beautiful and versatile. It also supports pretty much any system, able to make grid-maps, hex-maps, triangular-maps, etc etc. Campaign Cartographer 3 [$44.95] - Considered by many to be the ultimate map-making software, CC3 can initially be very intimidating. It's hefty price tag and steep learning-curve have turned more than a few away. However, the results can be stunning. Take a look through their gallery, or some creations from the Cartographer's Guild, and be amazed. Dundjinni [$39.95] - Something of a rival with CC3, Dundjinni specializes in more playable maps, and less on getting that real map look. The system is also slightly more approachable than CC3, with fairly similar results. Take a look through the gallery on that page as well, it's the best way to understand the kind of results you're going to get. Dungeon Painter [$15/free] - This is a HIGHLY recommended battle-map maker. It is almost as simple to use as Paint.Net, but comes loaded with tons of map-making resources. Not only is it completely free, you don't even need to register to use it. They also offer a more powerful alternative on Steam. Dungeonographer [Free/$30] - Same interface as Hexographer, but includes icons for dungeons, caverns and building interiors. All built-in icons have line art and battlemat styles and one click lets you toggle modes to have a GM's view or player's battlemat view. Hexographer [Free/$30] - Very easily makes maps in the Mystara D&D style as well as the 1st Edition World of Greyhawk maps. Also creates Traveller style star maps and overland/wilderness battle maps. InKarnate [Free/Asset Pack Available] - A simple tool for creating continent-sized maps. Supports making icons for cities and towns, compasses, mountain ranges, oceans, etc. Currently still in beta, so pricing and features may change. Having a map made for you donjon RPG Tools [free] - While already mentioned in the character Generation post, there are a myriad of tools for map generating as well. The fractal world generator will craft entire continents on a globe. There are also generators for dungeons, inns, town, magic shops, etc. While the details are usually fairly lacking, the DM is given leave to create exactly what he wants inside of those confines. Seriously, if you're a DM who doesn't use dj's stuff, you're trying too hard (also, iirc, donjon himself is a redditor. So hey!). Gozzy's Cartographic Emporium [free] - Gozzy's multiple map generators allow for a lot more in the way of parameters, allowing the DM to really specify the details he or she wants in a map. As with most generators, the details will still be a little lacking compared to hand-made maps, but it's great for on-the-fly map building. Mathemagician! [free] - Very user friendly and simple generator, can pretty much instantly populate a small area with however many of each race you desire. Great for when your group is SUPER INSISTENT on stopping at the dwarven enclave that you just mentioned in passing. ProD&D [free] - Android app for the Dungeon Master who needs to generate creative dungeons and countless other procedurally generated random terrains at the touch of a finger! See also: /r/ProDnD Cityographer [free / $31.95] - Cityographer lets you instantly create a city map and details (residents, store inventories & prices, etc.) You can have the program do it all in one step, or run it in a step-by-step fashion and edit the map and details as you go. Everything created is always completely editable. Because sometimes you want someone else to make the map Cartographer's Guild - The premier home of fantasy map-makers. CG doesn't just host a bevy of maps for your use, but also boasts a full-fledged community built around the idea of map-making. With weekly contests, experienced advice-givers, and discussion on every aspect of map-making, it's an excellent resource for any DM. /r/mapmaking, /r/worldbuilding, /r/battlemaps - Three subreddits specifically built around making believable and convincing maps and worlds. A quick perusal of their frontpages will reveal dedicated and inspired communities.
