A Setting In One Pass
World StudioGenerate a whole world atlas
Pick a shape, up to four themes and how many regions you want. One pass returns a high-altitude atlas — regions, powers, cosmology and history that all pull on the same tensions — plus a hand-drawn map of the place.
Step by step
How It Works
Choose a shape
The physical premise of the world — what kind of place the campaign happens on.
Pick up to four themes
The tensions the setting runs on. Four is the cap, and fewer usually reads sharper than four.
Set the region count
Six, eight or ten. Each region comes back with its own character and its own quarrel with a neighbour.
Generate
The atlas returns whole — regions, powers, cosmology, history — with a hand-drawn map labelled with the region names it just invented.

Who It's For
Starting a campaign from nothing
You have a session in two weeks and no setting. One pass gives you a frame with enough internal tension to improvise against for months.
Breaking a worldbuilding block
You have three good ideas and no structure connecting them. Feed them in as themes and see what shape they want to take.
A one-shot that needs a somewhere
Six regions is plenty of world for a single evening — and the map alone sells the place to your players.
Made with World Studio
From the Forge
Atlases generated from a shape, a few themes and a region count.
The atlas
Regions, powers, cosmology and history, cross-referenced.
The map
Hand-drawn ink on parchment, labelled with the regions above.
The tensions
Every region holds a quarrel worth building a session around.

Frequently Asked
How many regions can a world have?
Six, eight or ten. That is the whole range — the tool is built for a high-altitude frame, not an exhaustive gazetteer.
How many themes can I pick?
Up to four. Fewer, sharper themes usually produce a more coherent setting than four broad ones.
Does it draw a map?
Yes — a hand-drawn ink-on-parchment map, labelled with the regions from the atlas it just generated.
How is this different from the World Codex?
World Studio generates a setting from nothing. The Codex is where everything you generate afterwards lives and links together. Generate here, keep it there.
Can I name the world myself?
Yes, or leave the field blank and let the generator name it.
