We can go with a random world, or feed in the map frogspawner is working on, raise a mountain in the middle, paint a desert around it, and adjust the zones away from the mtn.

I've got Campaign Cartographer 3 which integrates with Fractal Terrains, but not Fractal Terrains itself. It seems like a nice product and it is easy to make maps with CC3 from worlds made with Fractal Terrains (or so I hear - easy is a relative term when used in conjuntion with CC).

Do we really need Fractal Terrains though? It will make landmasses, but we don't need a spherical world with reality based geography and weather patterns for the fantasy project do we?

Whatever we do for a world, there is a style pack from the Cartographers Annual that emulates the style of the Islandia map we can use. Link here:
