    You could do a mixture of the two.

    Take for example, Profantasy's Wonderful program: Fractal Terrains. With it you can create a world in the click of a button.

    Now the two worlds below took me less than 1 minute make each, and already I can see ideas for them (espcially moreso because 4th Edition D&D is coming).

    Could I shoe horn parts of my current campaign world onto it? Sure. EVen if I lost every document of my old worlds, I have a lot of it in my head. Would I lose place names, NPCs etc? Yep, but to me that is not important. I like to build and so I would start building, naming, etc.

    Never use a big word when a diminutive one will suffice!

    An interesting idea, NeonKnight (Sabbath fan by any chance?).

    As I have Fractal World Explorer with Fractal Mapper, it's certainly an avenue I could venture down, the former being able to export it's creations into the latter.

    EDIT: Slaps self on forehead for not realising before hitting Post that here, of all places, people would already know that .

    Don't be so sure! I have no experience with either program, so hearing what they can do (even what might be considered the most obvious or basic task) is good to let me assess if I might want to use them.

    I must confer that the neonKnight moniker while being of Black Sabbath, is a song I have never heard (even though I do enjoy Black Sabbath...Huh!)

    Not knowing about Fractal Mapper, Profantasy's Fratal Terrains can be linked into CC2/CC3, so glad to hear the idea has sparked somethign with you.
