Welcome to the Terrain Map Generator!
This tool helps RPG players and game masters craft customizable hexagonal terrain maps, perfect for enriching your campaign worlds with ease and creativity.
Why Use This Tool?
In TTRPGs, the landscape shapes stories, strategies, and surprises. This generator gives you the power to design unique maps where terrains influence every adventure—no drawing skills required!
How to Use the Terrain Map Generator
- Select Terrain Types: Click on the terrains you want to include. Hover over each to see a brief description.
- Set Terrain Probabilities: Assign how frequently each terrain appears (0-100%). Aim for a total of 100%, but don’t worry—the tool will normalize values if needed.
- Adjust Grid Size: Choose the number of rows and columns (even numbers between 2 and 40) to define your map’s dimensions.
- Customize Terrain Colors: Personalize the color of each terrain type for better visual clarity.
- Set Juxtaposition Probability: Control how much similar terrains cluster together. Higher values create larger regions of the same terrain.
- Generate Your Map: Click “Generate Map” to bring your world to life!
- Toggle Display Mode: Use the “Real Hex Size” option to switch between a screen-fitted view and a true-scale map with scrollbars.
Saving Your Map
- Download Button: After generation, click “Download Map as PNG” to save your creation instantly.
- Screenshot Alternative: If preferred, use your device’s screenshot tools for a quick capture.
Understanding Probabilities
The higher the percentage assigned to a terrain, the more frequently it appears. Example:
If “Forest” is set to 60% and “Mountain” to 20%, expect a lush, wooded map with scattered peaks.
Pro Tips
- Experiment Freely:
Mix terrains, tweak probabilities, and discover unexpected landscapes! - Use Real Size for Printing:
The “Real Hex Size” mode is ideal for exporting high-quality maps for physical play. - Save Versions:
When designing complex maps, download multiple iterations to compare styles and layouts.
Need Inspiration?
Try thematic combinations like:
