Making it up: map making bots, generative mapping and TTRPG tools
summary
Collection of bots that auto-post generated maps and imagery: one produces a new city map daily, another (Copular bot) simulates Sentinel views from the ISS every ~90 minutes, and many projects host full code on GitHub so anyone can recreate the feed. Tools for gaming include Foundry Virtual Tabletop (pay-once license, load maps and play online) and map generators like Incarnate (coastline, layered assets, region and town scales) — real, working pipelines for fake worlds and playable maps.
