OpenGeofiction (OGF) is a collaborative platform for creating fictional maps. Our dynamic community of hobbyists comes from a wide range of backgrounds, cultures, occupations, and ages. We are a community of mappers who use our knowledge, experience, and imagination to craft a fictional world set in the modern day and with an emphasis on realism. Our world does not include fantastical or science-fiction elements, like orcs, elves, or aliens. Rather, it features power plants, motorways, and housing projects alongside picturesque old towns, beautiful national parks, and lonely beaches.

OpenGeofiction was originally started by Thilo Stapff (thilo) and Johannes Bouchain (joschi81) as an experiment based on the software of the OpenStreetMap^® project. Servers are presently maintained by Luciano. Because our site is based on the OpenStreetMap software platform, all map editors and other tools compatible with OpenStreetMap can be used to build this fictional world. OpenGeofiction contains open data that you are free to use under the terms of the site license. Please see the copyright and license page for further details.

All users, user data, and services of OpenGeofiction are subject to the site policies, terms of use, and contributor terms.

We are a hobbyist site run by individuals in free association. The site is hosted with support from our members.
