The method
Drop the dice. Read the world.
The drop-map technique comes from the tabletop tradition: scatter dice across a page and let where they land become your map. Each die type is a kind of feature, each face a specific result. This is that method, digital — with the randomness intact and the tedium removed.
How it reads
The dice
d4 mountains, d6 hills & lowlands, d8 deserts & badlands, d10 forests, d12 settlements, d20 points of interest. Bigger dice roll farther.
The edit
Drag any die, re-roll it, delete it, or add more. Nothing is locked until you generate the map.
No AI
Every result is a dice roll against a curated content table. Predictable rules, surprising worlds.
