How to make the overworld
I have done some "wilderness generation" in FAangband by having a base type of terrain for each biome type, and then adding "formations" (random groups of selected other terrain types) and then maybe some other areas (grassed clearings in forest, for example). FAangband has discrete wilderness levels, so the scaling/zooming doesn't apply. I am, though, coming up against similar problems to yours in Beleriand, which has a fixed world map with set biomes at the top level, but has to fill in all the terrain in a natural way. Note that Beleriand is still in its very early stages.

Angband vs uMoria vs Sil
It's worth mentioning that First Age Angband makes much more of an effort to keep the Tolkien lore authentic.

Best looooooong run roguelikes
I'm actually a fan of Tome2, in particular this version that removes a lot of what I call "old roguelike bullshit features", such as item identification and traps. Don't get me wrong, it's still long and perhaps grind-y, as is common for the bands, but not having to constantly trot back to town to buy more scrolls of ID because that junkart you just picked up *might cause instant death when evoked is a nice feature that lets you get to the interesting part of the (30+ hour) run more quickly.

Which RL has the most content?
ToME2 has a lot of character options, and although it's another Angband variant it's also quite distinct.

What would an OSR video game be like?
TOME was originally called Troubles on Middle Earth, then renamed to Tales of Middle Earth (ToME2), which is the most awesome fork of Angband. The developer started working on ToME3, then abandoned the project afraid the Tolkien estates will bully a free roguelike for legal reasons, so he made Tales of Maj'Eyal instead, which is a very popular modern roguelike.
