I can't believe I missed Cartograph when doing my series on world building. Will have to check it out. Rivers and lakes sounds awesome. I also just started a sundered isles game on my substack. It's what you'd expect from ironsworn/starforged and is great so far.
Yeah awesome. I'll need to check out your Sundered Isles playthrough. I've started my own in a kinda spell jammer universe and just successfully fought my first pirate ship. Arrrrrr!
So far I’ve played Fantasy Map Maker and D100 Dungeon World Builder. I do some home-brewing when the games stray too far from geographic or geologic principles for my comfort. Will have to give Cartograph a try.
Hi there I'm a huge solo or co-op RPG enthusiast. You've mentioned some interesting titles but I think you should also mention Ex Novo (variant Ex Umbra is for dungeons). I used it a lot and I've made a few very interesting worlds with it one of which became the place for my andh friends co-op D&S camping. It contains rules for suggested land shape, geographical features and development of settlement and fractions in it
I completely forgot about The Story Engine. It contains sets of cards used to generate plot, characters etc and has world building expansion which can be used to generate terrain, cities and places of interest
I'd love to hear what your favourite solo map making games are and the excellent experiences you've had. Be sure to drop them in the comments!

Awesome! Yeah Cartograph is a fun game for sure. Probably my favourite world builder I've played.
