World-building tip: For quick realistic city maps… /u/Startled_Pancakes DnD: Roll for Initiative!

Find a historic map for a similiar real-world city, & alter as needed. Section off ‘districts’ (Residential, Market, Civic, Maritime, Agricultural) and you’re ready to roll. You can decide ad hoc if the specific service the players are looking for is available in that district.

This should alleviate a lot of the “my city looks too geometric” or the implausible ecology/ city infrastructure that happens when you make your own maps from scratch.
