[QUOTE="InkwellIdeas, post: 8746830, member: 26988"] Inkwell Ideas has recently refreshed the random world generator in Worldographer. The biggest new additions are: [LIST] [*]A live preview (as you change the settings, a new preview area shows the map that will be generated–if the map isn’t too large). [*]A clustering concept controlling how the land forms are placed. [*]Land form options: try for one large continent or several smaller ones or many islands, subject to the other settings. [*]Controls were added that determine swamps generated as part of the initial world. [/LIST] Worldographer has a free version and a paid license (both are the same download). Get it at [URL="https://worldographer.com/download/"]Download : Worldographer: RPG Map Software[/URL] We’ve got a [URL='https://youtu.be/rkGooXflkuw']video describing it from a how-to-use-it perspective[/URL].
