Ask HN: Fantasy Map Generation

11 points by DamonOehlman ↗ HN
Just wondering if anyone can recommend a good method of generating a fantasy map that actually adheres to real world boundaries? Basically, mucking around building a geosocial game and would like to generate OSM compatible tiles but with an "otherworldly" style.

Anyone know of any Mapnik stylesheets out there for this kind of thing? Or any other techniques?
