Random City Map Generator Inkwell Ideas' Projects:

The Random City Map Generator creates a "random" city or town map suitable for fantasy and other role-playing games (RPGs) such as Dungeons and Dragons, Pathfinder, GURPS, HERO and many others.

Note: you can try out version two of this tool.

Because the map is made from layered images, to save or print a map you need to either: Take a sceenshot (print screen key) and paste into an image editor; Or print the page to a pdf file (Macs have this built-in, PCs may need a product like "cutePDF".) See more caveats and planned features below.

East: Random No East Section East Low Density East Med Density East High Density West: Random No West Section West Low Density West Med Density West High Density South: Random No South Section South Low Density South Med Density South High Density (Note that if the map is rotated the sections rotate.) Join (if the join sections exist): Random No Join East-West East-South West-South All Rotation: Random None 90 degrees Clockwise 180 degrees 90 degrees Counter-CW Other Notes: If you set each section to "No XYZ section" the system will treat them all as random. There isn't a way to get a particular map back... and there are 1000s of combinations so you should take a screenshot or print the webpage to a pdf to save one you like.

Planned Features/Caveats

• Yes, the streets are too ordered for most cities... a couple of completely different street layouts will be added and they will be more random/meandering. (Two sets of alternate layouts for the "west" section and one alternate of the "east" and "south" center sections have been added but more are planned.)
• Optional wells
• Additional distinct buildings: more temples, an arena, etc.
• Ruined walls and ruined buildings
• Add an island that may or may not exist.
• Add an overlay of numbers for some buildings of note.
• Randomly generate what the numbered buildings are.
