The Medieval Fantasy City Generator (MFCG) is a highly influential, browser based procedural tool created by the developer watabou. Since its debut in 2017, it has become the gold standard for "instant" urban cartography, capable of generating complex, aesthetic city layouts in a single click. In late 2025 and early 2026, the tool received significant updates to its District View and Building Placement algorithms, allowing for more organic street flow and higher density urban "slums" that better reflect historical medieval layouts. Description The Medieval Fantasy City Generator is a "toy" in the best sense of the word—a lightweight, highly customizable application that prioritizes "cool looking" maps over strict geographical simulation. It uses Voronoi diagrams to partition space into districts, then fills them with procedurally generated buildings, walls, and landmarks. Because it runs entirely in HTML5, it requires no installation and is a favorite for GMs who need to generate a "capital city" or "coastal port" on the fly during a live session. System Overview & Key Features One Click Generation Pressing a single key (Enter) generates a completely new city with unique geography. The tool automatically decides where the castle, the temple, and the market square go, providing an instant foundation for a Game Master to build their narrative upon. Procedural District Mapping The 2026 version features an improved "Alleys and Blocks" view. Cities are divided into logical districts—like the Craftsmans Quarter or the Shanty Town—each with its own architectural density and procedurally generated name that can be edited by the user. Dynamic Warp Tool GMs can manually reshape the city by "warping" its boundaries. If you need a city that is long and thin to fit a specific riverbank, or a circular fortress atop a hill, the warp tool allows you to push and pull the city's footprint while the buildings rearrange themselves in real time. 3D City Viewer Integration By exporting a city as a JSON file, users can open their map in the companion City Viewer app. This transforms the 2D layout into a fully navigable 3D environment, perfect for showing players the "skyline" of the city they are about to enter. SVG and JSON Export Maps can be exported as high quality SVG files, allowing them to be opened in programs like Illustrator or Inkscape for further artistic customization. The JSON export ensures full compatibility with other "Procgen Arcana" tools and major VTTs like Foundry. Azgaar's Integration The generator is natively linked to Azgaar's Fantasy Map Generator. When a user clicks on a city in a world map, it can automatically trigger the Medieval Fantasy City Generator to build that specific town, creating a seamless "World to Street" experience.

Draw Steel is a tactical heroic fantasy tabletop roleplaying game designed by Matt Colville and the team at MCDM Productions. It is built to provide a modern, cinematic alternative to traditional d20 fantasy games. It focuses on high action, tactical depth, and ensuring that every player character feels like a legendary hero from the very first level. The system it is a spiritual successor to is Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition Description In Draw Steel, players take on the roles of Heroes. Unlike other systems, the characters are heroes from the start. The characters are already capable of taking on the world and whatever threats may arise. The system encourages a highly tactical approach to combat encounters, promoting teamwork and clever use of abilities to control and affect any battlefield they might find themselves at. System Overview & Key Features The 2d10 Core Mechanic The game abandons the d20 focus and instead offers two ten-sided dice (2d10) instead. This creates a better mathematical average and becomes more predictable and reliable. No To Hit Rolls Draw Steel eliminates the traditional roll to hit. Instead, heroes automatically hit their targets with their primary abilities, but they roll to determine how much Power or impact the effect has. This keeps the game focused on making meaningful tactical choices rather than wasting turns on a miss. Heroic Resources Each class manages a unique resource, such as Focus or Valor, which builds up during a fight. These resources are spent to activate powerful Signature Moves and Heroic Abilities, ensuring that combat has a rising sense of drama and escalation as the heroes grow more powerful the longer a battle lasts. Tactical Movement and Forced Position Combat is designed for a grid. Many abilities do more than just deal damage; they allow players to slide, push, or pull enemies and allies across the battlefield. Positioning is vital, and the environment is intended to be a weapon that heroes can use to their advantage. Tiered Success Action resolution often uses three tiers of success. A low roll might provide a success with a cost, a middle roll is a standard success, and a high roll is a spectacular success that might trigger bonus effects or additional damage. This ensures that every roll contributes something to the ongoing narrative. Links mcdmproductions.com - Official MCDM Productions website mcdm.gg - MCDM community and developer portal

Inkarnate is a powerful, web based cartography suite that allows users to create everything from sprawling world maps to highly detailed tactical battlemaps. Unlike software that requires a local installation, Inkarnate runs entirely in the browser, making it accessible from any computer with an internet connection. In December 2025, the platform launched its massive 2.0 Update, introducing a completely refined interface, advanced custom layering, and a marketplace for community assets, solidifying its position as the most versatile map making tool in the industry. Description Inkarnate is the "all in one" solution for fantasy cartography. It offers distinct styles—including Parchment, Watercolor, and High Fantasy—that allow GMs to match their maps to the tone of their campaign. While it was once seen primarily as a world and regional map tool, the 2.0 update dramatically improved its battlemap capabilities, bringing it into direct competition with specialized tools like Dungeondraft. It is a subscription based service, but the sheer volume of its asset library (over 30,000 stamps) makes it a favorite for GMs who want an endless variety of visual options. System Overview & Key Features Advanced Custom Layers (v2.0) The 2.0 update introduced a professional grade layering system. Users can now group assets, lock specific layers to prevent accidental movement, and apply transparency or blend modes to entire groups. This allows for complex "multi level" maps where you can toggle a roof or upper floor on and off during play. Brush Tool 2.0 and Layer Masks The painting system has been completely rebuilt to feel more like a traditional art program. Every layer can now have its own mask, allowing you to "paint" terrain or transparency with pixel accuracy. This is essential for creating organic transitions between biomes or hiding secret rooms behind "hidden" layers. Massive 30K+ Asset Library The paid tiers grant access to an enormous catalog of high definition stamps. From elven architecture and dwarven machinery to sci fi terminals and eldritch horrors, the library is updated weekly, ensuring that GMs always have new visuals to inspire their world building. 8K and 16K Exporting Inkarnate is famous for its high resolution output. The Creator tier allows for 8K exports, while the 2026 Studio tier supports beta 16K exporting. This level of detail is perfect for GMs who print their maps or use high resolution 4K monitors for their virtual tabletop sessions. The Inkarnate Marketplace New for 2026, the Marketplace allows professional cartographers and artists to sell custom asset packs and map templates directly within the platform. This has expanded the "Inkarnate Look" far beyond its original art style, offering community driven variety for niche genres like Cyberpunk or Steampunk. Interactive "Explore" Feed The platform features a social gallery where users can share their maps. Many of these are "Cloneable," meaning you can open another user's map in the editor, see how they built it, and modify it for your own campaign, making it an excellent learning tool for new cartographers.
