Something I've been playing with recently is Pixelforest's flowscape - allows you to make a 3D fantasy map pretty easily in 3D, as opposed to most of them which are focussed on 2D. There's a page at https://pixelforest.itch.io/flowscape which sort of shows it off - basically it's a Unity engine "game" which lets you make landscapes.
This is really cool! I was looking for a way to generate a concept map but stumbled upon this instead and I think its great.
