Build your next campaign setting in minutes
Creating a world for your tabletop campaign can be a daunting and time consuming task. With Untold Worlds you can generate a hex map for your setting in seconds, and then spend as much time as you like customising it to suit your style and game system.
It isn't just a map editor though. Untold World also provides wiki tools, templates and rollable tables to help you fill a world with adventure.
Generate maps in seconds
Looking to create a small, jungle island for a short adventure or a sprawling world for your next campaign? The generation tools are quick, easy to use, and can create maps of varying sizes.
Customise to your taste
Mountain range feeling a little less epic than hoped? Found the perfect spot for a sprawling swamp? use the mapping tools to adjust the terrain and mould the world to your vision.
Bring your world to life
Fill your world with towering castles, ancient elven ruins or long abandoned starships. Create and discover templates and random tables to help you kick start your adventures.
Generate your campaign's map
Getting started is as simple as picking your map's size, rolling a world seed and tweaking a few simple settings to your taste.
Raise the land
Within seconds a new hex map will be ready.Raise and lower the land as you see fit. Once you are ready it's time to cook up your climate.
Adjust the climate
Tweak the temperature, rainfall, wind and various other climate factors to set the climate of your map. Create barren deserts, lush jungles or a maze of wetlands.
Fill it with adventure
In Untold Worlds you can create and control the races and locations that are generated. Create dwarves that crave the mountains and the generator will place them there. Create or find a template for their settlements and the generator will also be able to roll up the details of their dwarven fortress.
Get it to the table
Untold Worlds is more than a map maker. Once finished you will have an interactive setting that you can use to manage your campaign. Create NPCs from templates, roll on random tables and manage your session notes all in one place.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get access? Is it available now?
Untold Worlds has not been released yet. Details about the early access release will be available soon.
By registering your interest, you will be notified as release approaches.
Is it a map maker?
Yes, you can use the app to generate or create maps, but it's not all the app has to offer. It's also a set of world building tools to help you create, manage and share your world's content.
What is procedural generation?
Procedural generation is a means of allowing computers to create content automatically, instead of having the user do it. What might take you and I hours, may only take the computer seconds. We use it to create plausible maps and content for table top roleplaying games.
How much will it cost?
We haven't settled on a pricing system yet. As it is an online app, a paid version would likely come in the form of a monthly or annual subscription.
Does it only support hex maps?
The map creator only supports hex maps. However, we do have plans to support uploading maps of any type. Uploaded maps won't support procedurally placed locations, but you will be able to manually place them.
Are there other tilesets for the maps? Can I use my own?
There are currently two tilesets:
- Classic - Designed to give a traditional hex map style
- Iconic - Hand draw tiles created by Iconic Maps
There are plans to add more tilesets in the future. Support for uploading your own tiles is not currently prioritised on the roadmap.

Running tabletop RPGs is awesome,
Burning out on prep work isn't!
I love running tabletop roleplaying games, but let's be honest, it can be a huge amount of work.
Time and time again, I come up against the same hurdles:
- Creating a beautiful map for my campaign is hard and time consuming.
- Filling it with interesting locations, treasure, monsters, NPCs and flavour can be challenging creative work.
That's why I created Untold Worlds - to give game masters a tool that could help them kick start their campaign ideas in minutes instead of hours or days.
With Untold Worlds your maps can be generated in seconds and adjusted to taste with simple editing tools. Templates and rollable tables can be combined to create content for any table top system or setting. Finally, With the sharing and content discovery features, you'll be able to harness the creativity of others directly in your own creations.
Happy world building,
Tom Wheeler
