    Torben Mogensen's Planet is a free command-line fractal planet generator available at http://www.diku.dk/hjemmesider/ansatte/torbenm/Planet/. You have to build it yourself, though. It runs under Windows, MacOS and Linux. I have Cygwin installed ( http://www.cygwin.com/ ), which made building it for Windows relatively easy. It can generate maps with about 10 different projections.

    It seems as though donjon usually makes pangaeas, changing the water level doesn't help because it just ends up creating archipelagos from the pangea. I'm not sure how I would be able to get a generation with multiple continents with at least 3 totally isolated continents or continent clusters. I'm need three separated landmasses for a RPG campaign And i'm unsure how to get these three totally isolated cultural areas.

    yeah... you can get that sometimes, but only if you're really lucky.
    fractal algorithms aren't intended to model earth-like plate tectonics.
