Anyone got a recommendation for a simple, easy-to-use mapmaking program? Preferably free.

Need to use it to keep tracks on my RP's worldbuilding.

I've not used it for myself yet, but I've heard good things.

Alternatively, http://www.hexographer.com/, It can be a bit more hit and miss, depending on what you're wanting, and I've yet to discover how to make it pretty, but it's certainly functional. Though I think it costs to get all the features, can't remember.

Or this channel might be useful.

I'm currently looking at the Github one and it's really cool how it can generate a decently complex map for you right away.

I don't know how to edit the terrains though. I want to start my map just small because I'm not worldbuilding an entire world right away from the start. I want to just delete and add the continents as I wish.

I'm not sure if you can do a small then build outward map with that one. You can do a less detailed whole world and then edit a small space to focus on and go from there, I think. Have not explored it fully yet.

There is a tutorial and wiki if you haven't found it yet.

Honestly I was tempted to @ you with that joke when this thread was first posted but decided against it. Now I'm regretting it lol

The best part is I had no idea about the site until I decided Inkarnate was a witty name for a new account.
