BackerKit - Worldographer 2025 (World Mapping Software Plus)

I've been using versions of Hexographer / Worldographer for the better part of a decade, and I'm excited to see what the latest version of the Worldographer software offers.

You can back Worldographer 2025 for 60 bucks, and it should release before the end of 2024.

If you haven't heard of Worldographer and its predecessor Hexographer, Worldographer is a map-making program that lets you create and edit world and region maps; city and village maps; as well as dungeon, building interior, and other battlemats, plus cosmic sector maps.

What makes Worldographer different from other map-making software?

• It installs to your computer: Unlike a web app, if the company goes out of business or if you're just on a bad connection, you can keep using it. Use it on Windows, Mac OSX, Linux, or anything that supports Java (it is written in Java, but has native installers for the most common platforms).
• Worldographer has many built-in generators. Want to create a world? Just choose a few settings and it creates one in seconds! Or generate a region, city, village, tower, shop, dungeon, and more! The results are fully customizable.
• Have a specific world or region in mind? Start a blank map, then rough in a fraction of the terrain. Next use our "Terrain Wizard" tool to fill in the rest of the map and edit the result.
• It doesn't just help you create and edit the map.  It also creates data about the world or city. For a world, it will generate a few bullets for each of several cultures, nations, and religions as well as details of cities, villages, forts, and other points of interest.  For a city or village, it generates a list of residents or staff/patrons/prices for a tavern or store.  All the data is fully editable.
• It can also generate locations of interest for a sandbox or hex crawl style campaign.

Bundle of Holding - Worldographer (Mapping Software)

I've been a huge fan of Inkwell Designs for the better part of a decade, first encountering Joe's projects with his Monster Stock Art Kickstarter and his Dungeonmorph Dice. I've been dabbling with Inkwell's mapping programs for years.

On Bundle of Holding, you can snag the complete Worldographer Mapping Collection, with World, Dungeon, and City mapping programs for $29.95. Full details are below (and you can test drive for free).

Adventurer! This all-new Worldographer Bundle presents license keys and Icon Sets for Worldographer, the easy-to-use software from Inkwell Ideas that lets you quickly craft maps of worlds, kingdoms, cities, villages, and dungeons for tabletop fantasy roleplaying games. Whether you run Windows, Mac OSX, or Linux, Worldographer lets you make colorful hexmaps and square-grid battlemats step-by-step in minutes. The program can also autogenerate a map – anything from a wayside inn to a complete campaign world – and can annotate your map with details and special features, all fully editable. Import Inkwell's Icon Sets or your own graphics to customize your maps. The only limit on map size is your computer's memory.

Download the Worldographer program free at the Worldographer.com website. Try it out – there's no charge, no obligation, and no time limit, but the free version has limited features. If you like Worldographer, return here to get a bargain-priced set of license keys that permanently unlock the full-featured Pro Versions of the main program and its city and dungeon expansions. No subscription or additional purchase is required.

For just US$29.95 you get a set of six unique one-use license keys (retail value $90) – three for the Worldographer Pro Versions (the Worldographer base program and its Settlement and Battlemat expansions) and (for convenience) three for the legacy programs Hexographer, Cityographer, and Dungeonographer.

And if you pay more than the threshold price of $41.01, you'll level up and also get our entire Icon Set Collection with eleven Hex Map Icon Sets worth an additional $65 that enhance Worldographer or any mapping program, including Alternate Classic Hex Map Icons, Alternate Classic Expanded, Mountains, Swamps, Forest, Arctic, Coasts, Undersea, Mines, Shops & More, and High Magic. Unlike the main Worldographer program, your Icon Sets are hosted here on the Bundle of Holding site and in your linked DriveThruRPG Library.

Check out some Worldographer examples, the online manual and advanced instructions, useful how-it-works blog entries, and Inkwell's YouTube tutorial videos.
