Some time ago I read about an awesome freeware city map generator for Windows. But alas the creator’s site is down for quite some time now and it’s pretty hard to find a copy of the map generator on the web. So when I finally found a copy, I decided to host a copy of the latest version of the Roleplaying City Map Generator at my Google Sites site for your convenience.
- RPG City Map Generator (.MSI) 1788k (Download)
- RPG City Map Generator (.ZIP) 1605k (Download)
By the way, if you know some interesting (and preferrably free) map creator software, please let us know in the comment section of this post! Thanks!
Update: Several people reported that the zip file got somehow corrupted. I reuploaded it and added the unzipped version.
Update #2: I uploaded the latest version of the software (v5.40) and removed the ZIP download. Thanks to Di for providing me with the latest version.

Glad you found what you were looking for. I’ll have to check on this application when I get some time today. I’m always in the mood for something to take away from what I have to do.

For random generators, you may want to look at the 7 random dungeon generators I reviewed recently:

‘can not open roleplaying_city_map_generator.zip as an archive’
bummer.
Try downloading it again. This obviously happens once in a while. The Google Sites pages seem to be under quite some stress at the moment.
Can not open the roleplaying_city_map_generator.zip as it is not an archive.
Tried multiples times from both links above.

The file indeed got corrupted, so I reuploaded it and even added an unzipped version. I hope it works for you guys now.
Thanks, that worked.
Thanks for finding and hosting this. This will come in handy.

Man, I love you. Seriously I have spent hours looking for this and you have done me a great service. Seriously, I love you ^_^
Hi!
I kinda stumbled on your post while looking for updates on this city map generator and it seems to me that the version you posted is outdated. It’s possible to download the version 5.40 from a couple of sites, but i uploaded it to http://drop.io/rpgcitymapgen# just in case.
Thanks a lot! Hehe, I actually didn’t know there was a newer version available. I will upload the latest one to my site ASAP.
Thank you very much for your kindly effort in creating a new download availability, of the RPG City Map Generator.
Happy Greetings Ole
you sir, deserve a medal of honour, the nobel peace prize and a lifetime pass to the playboy mansion.
Thanks!
You good sir, are a legend. I take my hat off to thee.
Thanks! And I am just providing a public service here. The creator’s site has been down for quite some time now, so I thougt he probably doesn’t mind when I host the file here.
[...] Print them out, set them aside, give them each a unique key. Unlike the dungeons these cities don’t have any distinct personality or names yet. That’s okay, we’ll get back to that in a second. If you need more cities than that (and you might) you can always download the random city map generator from here. [...]
I know I’m coming very late to the party but I figured you might be interested in this tutorial which shows you how to take the maps generated by the program and turn them in to really great looking maps using photoshop.

Hey, that’s cool!
Thanks for that link! It’s much appreciated!
out of curiousity, what is/was the creator’s website?
http://www.drachenzahn.de but it’s down now
Do you know how to contact the author? We’d really like to do a version of this for CC3.
Sorry, I have no idea. I even did some research using the Archive.org web archive. I found the name of the site owner. But alas I found no phone number and no working email adress. Since the author was obviously a German, I would have even called him to help to get you in contact, but alas my google fu lost me.
It’s a shame really. But perhaps you can do something similiar without the author’s help.
Thank’s a ton! I’ve been searching for ages for a program to do just what this does.
actually, I’ve been using the free source AUTOrealm for a while, but it’s not really supported anymore. It is great for fractal lines and coasts, though. It also has a grid that can scale to the miles you input, and I personally think that’s invaluable.
oh thanks! I was looking for this for days!
I like this application. but am i right in thinking i cant make coastal towns and cities with it, only ones on a river?
I think so.
Thank you for hosting this. I love this little program, it’s so useful when you need to create any kind of city/town/village map for rpgs, stories, or whatever.
hey man
thanks for great effort
if it’s possible, i may ask if you can develop a character generator program for http://www.narutod20.com
with the ability to print character sheets?
thanks
As I wrote in the post, I didn’t develop that program. I am merely hosting it after the original creator’s site went offline.
