In July 2023 we presented the Worldographer Bundle featuring software license keys and Icon Sets for Worldographer, the easy-to-use program from Inkwell Ideas that lets you quickly craft maps of worlds, kingdoms, cities, villages, and dungeons for tabletop FRPGs. Whether you run Windows 7+, Mac OSX, or Linux, Worldographer lets you make colorful hexmaps and square-grid battlemats step-by-step in minutes. The program can also autogenerate a map – anything from a wayside inn to a complete campaign world – and can annotate your map with details and special features, all fully editable. Import Inkwell’s Icon Sets or your own graphics to customize your maps. The only limit on map size is your computer’s memory.
Map all your fantasy hexmaps and dungeon battlemats in classic TSR-era Gazetteer style with Worldographer Pro Version plus its Pro Version Settlements (cities and villages) and Battlemats (dungeon) expansions. Create your world, then have Worldographer generate the parent map’s smaller-scale continent- and kingdom-level maps. Choose the ratio of hexes between map scales. A hex on the parent map can represent any number of hexes on the smaller-scale map. Changes you make at one scale are automatically reflected at the other scales.
Draw your maps step-by-step in minutes, or let the program autogenerate a map you can quickly customize – everything from a tavern to a continent. Worldographer also provides data about every building in its autogenerated city or village: residents of each house, shop inventories and prices, and tavern patrons. For a world map, Worldographer can create cultures, nations, and religions, all fully editable. Autogenerate special features like forts and towers. Add notes to any location to label a feature or indicate a random encounter.
Check out some Worldographer examples, the online manual and advanced instructions, useful how-it-works blog entries, and Inkwell’s YouTube tutorial videos.
On the Inkwell Ideas Worldographer.com site you can download a free version of the program with limited features. Try it out – there’s no charge, no obligation, and no time limit. Our Worldographer Bundle included a bargain-priced set of six unique single-user license keys that permanently unlock the full-featured Pro Versions of the main program and its city and dungeon expansions – one key for each of the Worldographer Pro Versions (the base Worldographer program plus its Settlement and Battlemat expansions) and (for convenience) one key for each of the legacy programs Hexographer, Cityographer, and Dungeonographer.
Those who paid more than the threshold (average) price also got our entire Icon Set Collection with eleven complete Hex Map Icon Sets worth an additional $65 that enhance Worldographer or any mapping program, including Alternate Classic and Alternate Classic Expanded Hex Map Icons, Mountains, Swamps, Forest, Arctic, Coasts, Undersea, Mines, Shops & More, and High Magic.
System requirements: Worldographer runs on either Microsoft Windows 7+, Macintosh OSX, or (as a Java JAR file) Linux and other 64-bit operating systems. 4GB RAM recommended. Chromebooks and smartphones can’t run Worldographer. See Installation & Updates on the Worldographer website.
