World Map Creation Sites?

[Luxuria]

Hello, I am looking for a very specific type of Map Making site. Because my one of my stories takes place in an alternate earth, I was wondering if there is map-making site that let you re-make the map of earth. Like, move the continents, smash them together to create different shapes, and rename them, etc. I am also on the market for good FANTASY make generators as well. But most pressing is trying to find a earth map re-maker. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Because I need one for one of my stories.

And also, I am not great a drawing, so that idea is off the table.

I played around with Inkarnate about a year ago. It was fun, but I had to accept my limitations and as much as I wish I was an artist - I am not. I hated everything I did. But that was my issue, not the sites. I tried another one too, but I can't think of the name. If I think of it I'll come back.

Did you mean name generator? If not, I don't know what a make generator is.

Rather than looking for a specifically Earth remake application, just use your favourite mapping app, and download a pre-made Earth map for it that you can edit and move things around on.

Azgaar's Fantasy Map Generator

Free web app that helps fantasy writers, game masters, and cartographers create and edit fantasy maps

This map generator lets you create continents, villages, cultures, all kinds of stuff. It also lets you use a view mode that is either a flat map, a 3d map (sort of like how Skyrim's map has mountains but way more rudimentary), or a globe. (If you're using laptop try to avoid 8k resolution for the globe, I tried it just now and my browser crashed. It was hilarious.).

Kind of a learning curve but fun once you get the hang of it. There's documentation for it online, too.

Back when I was working on the map for our RPG, I used Nortantis. It's software you install (so not a site) but it's completely free and really easy to use. I also tried Inkarnate because it's really popular. I didn't stick to it though for some reason I don't remember.

I'd say if you want simplicity, go with Nortantis.

Yeah, I wasn't sure either. This one has always been my go to. The range of names it has thought to categorize is just stupid. Like My Little Pony names? WTF?

Fantasy name generators. Names for all your fantasy characters.

Countless generators for countless names. Some say it's the best fantasy name generator site around, which is very humbling to hear.

I tried this one and gave up. You should see the "Apocalypse/Mutant names" for a female it gave me (as options) the names Freak and Bubblegum. I was like nooooo... that's not what I was going for really, lol. I don't bother with generators anymore, lmao

I'll use it when I need a lot of them all at once. Like with planets or something.

I missed Crackwhore the pony.

I wasn't dissing it, and that's the one I would have posted. I just can't use it because I end up clicking on everything to see how absurd it can get.

I missed Crackwhore the pony.

That definitely needs to be a character somewhere, lol

Did those make a comeback? The ponies, I mean. Crackwhores have never gone out of fashion.

Actually, a lot of those could totally be stripper names:

Not just the ponies, but there's a whole new category of fans called "bronies".

@CdnWriter and @Dogberry's Watch shared really good ones!

Canvas of Kings on Steam (this one has a free Demo. I havent tried it yet because my current WIP doesnt involve a map... but I will be trying these in the future since 2 of my other WIPs have maps)

I free handed this map in GIMP, but by the time i uploaded it to Canva to put in the terrain details like mountains and trees and settlements, i was tired and frustrated. Its been 6 months since I've worked on it...

Sunrise Whistle....

It takes a special woman to make me whistle at the sunrise.

I'm also not sure, but Luxuria, if you need a name generator, BehindTheName.com is a fantastic name generator for names from almost any culture on earth. (It has several toolsfor first names, surnames, and place names, as well as anagrams, a name translator and even a random name generator - just tell it what you're looking for, e.g. male/female/ambiguous, what kind of culture, etc.)

I just noticed that it also has fantasy names - including a fantasy name generator. Check it out: Behind The Name

Oops, I mean map generator, not name. (Should have come back before the train went in a completely different direction and gave me unicorn stripper names.) But I guess what I am looking for is a place I can mess up our current map for my alternate earth story. Because after Pangea, the continents drift and collide in a different pattern, which changes climate, etc.
