So I suck at artistry... I have a homebrew world and have the city locations on an x/y coordinates.. I am trying to find a program that can create a world around these locations.. any help?

Do you mean that you have no current plans for the map and the biomes aside from the cities? You want a program or app to fill in the rest of the world geography? That's quite an unusual way to do things, but if you like it that way, then cool!

There's a prog I've used in the past called hexographer (http://www.hexographer.com/), that randomly generates a hex-map for you. If I remember rightly, you can edit it afterwards. There's a free version, and a paid version with more features.

Then there are some random world generators I've used in sci-fi games - don't know if they'll be any use, but here they are:

Depending on what program / app you go for, be prepared for results to need some tweaking from you.

(BTW: This thread might be better placed in the World Building sub-forum.)
