Creative Map Making with Wonderdraft

If you’re world-building for your next fantasy novel, epic D&D tabletop campaign or just for fun — you’ll love Wonderdraft — a relatively newer addition to the world of map-making software.

As with other fantasy map-making software, such as Inkarnate, you have the ability to create everything from large scale maps — encompassing whole worlds — to smaller-scale maps — a city, a fort, the entirety of a coastline community or a singular point of interest.

You can generate random world maps — changing attributes like water level and type of land — or you can build your world up (or down!) from scratch. And you can tweak everything to your perfect specifications at any time — coastlines, rivers, trees, land type, color palette, even your labels! The software utilizes a ‘brush’ mechanism for most everything you can do, allowing you to “paint” the land and everything on it — so you can easily put your creative spin on any type of map you create!

Wonderdraft comes with its own start pack of assets — mountains, trees and the like — and you can utilize hundreds of other free assets from creative, and generous artists, on cartographyassets.com. The software developer is keen on updating the software, too, so head on over to wonderdraft.net and start drawing the map of your dreams!
