Fantasy World Building Help

I've been working on a fantasy world for quite some time. I hope to turn it into a game. But I need a layout of the world. I'm looking for some sort of map generator. Are there any good ones that you guys can recommend?

This one looks like it's got a lot of possibilities:

You may also want to check out the
Cartographer's Guild
, which is pretty much
the
place to go for fantasy cartography. Some of the stuff may be a little too in-depth for your needs (although you can always enjoy the pretty pictures) but they also have an excellent supply of resources and tutorials.

I know it might not be what you requested, but rarely use random maps since they don't really give me what I want. I could design one for you if I get a few details. You can see my style drawing maps
here
and
here
(they're basic, but I usually put more detail in the finished thing). Just a suggestion in case random map generators aren't providing what you want!
Best Regards

To be honest you might get more of what you want with photo shop depending on how big you want the map to be. I may or may not have taken a screen shot of china on google maps, erased Japan and moved around some of Malaysia to get the effect I wanted for my world.... >.>

I used a program called Ortelius to do the map for this story:
https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=195338.0
It only runs on a Mac though and requires some learning to get started. It's very good at doing more modern looking maps, I haven't tried a medieval type map yet.

Personally, I have been writing adventures for publications, so I purchased a copy of
Campaign Cartographer 3
. If you want a free one, and don't want as much detail,
Hexographer
is pretty decent for basic world design.
