For Maps - We started with TILED (https://www.mapeditor.org/).  A very good map generator / editor and it is "free".  If you decide to use it, make a donation to them.  If you want a nice, simple 2D map (like KnightGuild), you just need an icon set.  You can create your own icon set or, if you are like me and don't have any artistic ability, you can buy icons from various sources.  I like Unity (assetstore.unity.com) and search for map tiles or icons.  You can buy a set to use with your game

Tiled will save your maps as an image or as a datafile - their format or JSON.  Being a programmer, I wrote a C# program to transfer JSON files to / from my SQL Database.  This lets me use the TILED editor for creating new maps, but allows the game system to update the maps as the players complete projects.
