WorldSpinner is one of those free-for-30-days-but-you-have-to-pay-afterwards kinds of software. It’s pretty simple, there aren’t that many details you can add to the map, but it’s a nifty tool to generate continents or islands. You can edit the terrain, background, icons and text style once it generates your map and once you like it you can save it as a PNG on your computer. It creates simple maps with almost a hand-drawn style. Unlike other generators, this is a free software that you have to download on your computer. The point is, books and RPGs are closely related, bouncing off each other and creating more stories for anyone to enjoy. There are even books based on RPG campaigns.

There have been RPGs from The Wheel of Time, Dune, H.P Lovecraft’s monsters, and even A Song of Ice and Fire. Others are classic table-top games similar to Dungeons and Dragons. Some of them are more like video games, such as The Lord of the Rings Online (a massively multiplayer online role-playing game, or MMORPG). There are several RPGs based on books, especially ones based on big fantasy series. Luckily there are many ways we can keep stories alive from fanfic to fanart and even to RPGs (role-playing games), there are many ways to explore our favorite worlds beyond the page. I think we as readers often want our favorite stories to live on, even when they’re finished. She's working on a few stories of her own, always accompanied by her trusty cat.

Whether they're book shaped or you can see them on a screen, a story always hides in the corners of her mind. A daydreamer and a bit of a lost cause, Rey loves stories.
