  • CC0-licensed fantasy map brushes based on historical cartography
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 21 Dec 2023
    Adding to the other answers, there are also -besides Photoshop, Gimp, etc- specialized tools to draw fantasy maps. The site mentions Wonderdraft [0], but there are a bunch of others though not all of them support using external brushes.

    Some other tools in this space may be Watabou's tools [1], Azgaar's tools [2], Inkarnate [3], Mapforge [4], or quite a few more which you can find links to in this list [5]. Again: you could use these brushes with some of these; not all support external brushes.

  • Cosmopoeia, a GIS-based world-generating tool
    2 projects | /r/worldbuilding | 30 Nov 2023
    I'm working on a command line program, called Cosmopoeia, which can generate random fantasy worlds which can then be edited in GIS software. The idea was inspired by Azgaar's Fantasy Map Generator, so the results resemble maps created with that.
  • Naming Convention - Inspiration help
    1 project | /r/worldbuilding | 24 Nov 2023
    I've been using Azgaar's Fantasy Map Generator to help with naming conventions. There's a culture set dropdown and I've been using the dark fantasy set. This has sets like "Romian" and "Elladan" with a Latin-like and Greco-like naming convention respectively, and were the basis for the idea of having an Ancient Elven culture. Does anyone know where I might be able to view just the name database for this generator? I'd rather this than having to refresh the map every 5 mins.
  • What are the most clever and useful generators and tools you've seen?
    1 project | /r/rpg | 9 Oct 2023
    Can't believe there's no link to https://azgaar.github.io/Fantasy-Map-Generator/ yet. It's an incredible tool with surprising depth and you can really lose yourself in generating and exploring worlds generated from scratch, their biomes, and the political relationships of nations and cultures.
  • Enhancing the map with colored provinces and borders.
    1 project | /r/StableDiffusion | 14 Sep 2023
    I've generated and exported map from https://azgaar.github.io/Fantasy-Map-Generator/ to serve as a board for my board game mockup. After several playtests I've thought I could pimp up the graphics of the game even further and started using the SD for generation of the elements. So far it goes well, I've learned a lot already, but now I have huge problem with the map element itself.

  • Can't we have CoA not as images but as Armoria markup-language (=? Armoria links) for import into the Generator?
    1 project | /r/FantasyMapGenerator | 1 Apr 2021
    Too complex? I read the documentation https://github.com/Azgaar/armoria-api#readme didn't find anything along the lines of what I'm talking about. My hope was, to have ten or eleven cities in a Theocracy which all used the identical symbol of the religion, that same image (a heraldry "charge") but with different color-schemes; and then later when the Theocracy falls they all abandon the image but keep the rest of their arms. The city that had the hammer-and-anvil (theocratic symbol) over a field of gold, now has a horse on a field of gold; the city with the hammer-and-anvil over three ships, now has a horse over three ships; etc.. To do this, I'd have to (1) create all the originals with hammers-and-anvils; then later (2) edit out the hammer-and-anvil part. But if the created item (1) is just an SVG or a JPG or a PNG, then it's more reasonable to edit by starting from scratch, than to edit FROM the item (1) to get item (2). When a third change comes along to the cities in the region (conquered by invading empire) they all want to keep their old coats-of-arms but add a white bull (symbol of imperial participation) in the upper left. Start again from scratch?
  • [Armoria] API update: ability to assign coat of arms to Name to get predefined coa, not a random one
    1 project | /r/FantasyMapGenerator | 10 Mar 2021
    See documentation for the details. In can be pretty hard to use, so please read carefully.
  • Fantasy map Generator update: Procedural Heraldry (v1.5)
    2 projects | /r/proceduralgeneration | 23 Feb 2021
    One thing that I really want you to try is Armoria API - it can be used to embed heraldry generation into your project.
  • Azgaar's Fantasy Map Generator update v1.5: Emblems
    1 project | /r/dndnext | 23 Feb 2021
    Thanks, xlink is indeed easy to solve, but there are other issues, esp. the one with positioning. I have already solved it for Armoria-api and can do the same for GUI version, but it will require major change.
  • Armoria: patterns update (13 new, 30 in total)
    1 project | /r/FantasyMapGenerator | 19 Feb 2021
    I have significantly reworked Armoria API and in parallel added 13 new patterns to use. These are mainly historical ones, but also a few custom ones not widely used.
