I was looking at some blog stats the other day and noticed some hits coming in from Wizardawn-Tabltop Games . So I went to check it out and I found this cool little Settlement Maps generator! The part I liked the most was that it was using my Village Geomorphs ! It makes some nice little villages, sometimes you get some funky mirrored image sections, but for the most part it generates some nice looking maps (of course I’m a little biased)! If you go to the Fantasy Settlements section, you can completely key and populate the map using OSRIC or Tunnels & Trolls rules. It generates a TON of details when everything is turned on.
Anyway, I am thrilled to see some of my simple drawing turned into something so awesome!! I’m sure most everyone else already knew about this, but it was something new to me. Now I am going to have to draw up some more village geomorphs and hope they get added to the generator. Below is a a village map I generated using the Settlement Maps generator, just a simple 2×2 config with no numbers. It took me about 20 to 25 tries before I got both the tower and the large Inn type building on the same map, but I like the way they break it up a little.
Nice village! And yes, you need to draw more village sections. Many more. That way I can print them all off at the print shop and use them in game. The best part about using the actual geomorphs is that you can build uneven villages that spread out in various directions.
I will draw some up this weekend….I PROMISE!!!
Wow, those are great! I love the look of your buildings, may have to steal that.
Thanks Matt, be my guest and steal away…:)
