Amazing $30 Cartography Humble Bundle Is a Online Gaming Game Master's Fantasy
Following a short availability back in April, the Map Making Mega Bundle is back for a limited time available through early December. Described as an extensive collection of mapping tools developed by ProFantasy Software throughout their history, the entire collection is valued at more than thirteen hundred dollars. Additionally, there exist multiple package options offered in this deal.
The Main Attraction
The standout feature is definitely a lifetime license to the CC3+ software, a professional-grade mapping application that can be used to generate various types including fantasy overworld maps, detailed regional charts, urban layouts, and, perhaps most importantly, dungeon and tabletop battle maps.
A regional fantasy map created using Campaign Cartographer 3+.
Package Levels
Entry Level
The most affordable option, at a minimum cost of $1, features merely four from the thirty-nine available products: Fantasy Overland Symbol Collection, Token Treasury: Monsters 1, Castle Source Maps, Urban Source Maps. This one's only for existing CC3+ users, yet it provides fresh fantasy design elements for landscape mapping, over seven hundred fifty creature tokens for use in virtual tabletops, more than two dozen aerial castle designs including hundreds of map markers, eight fully mapped cities, plus seventy-plus building interiors.
Intermediate Package
The eight-item bundle for at least $15 is where things get more interesting through inclusion of a lifetime CC3+ license, Cartographer's Annual Vol 1, Tome of Ultimate Mapping, and Symbol Set 6: Isometric Cities. The Annual represents the yearly bundle from the company's long-running monthly subscription service featuring multiple CC3+ enhancements like map collections and additional utilities. Isometric Cities lets you display cities with an extra dimension using angled views from multiple angles. Meanwhile, the Mapping Tome is a 760-page suitable for novices and experts, packed with guidance and instructions for the map-making process.
Complete Collection
For a minimum of $30, the 39-item bundle contains these components:
- Fractal Terrains 3+
- Dungeon Designer 3
- City Designer 3
- Cosmic Mapping System
- Perspectives 3
- Dioramas 3
- Character Artist 3

- Comprehensive Mapping Guide
- Symbol Set 1: Fantasy Overland
- Monster Token Set 1
- Fortress Source Maps
- Source Maps: Cities!
All 17 volumes of Cartographer's Annual are included here, plus numerous additional tools and content that can help users design entire planets or galaxies, or focus exclusively on classic fantasy realm creation: combat arenas, underground complexes, cities, and land masses in multiple viewpoints. You can even design character illustrations. At thirty versus fifteen dollars, the full bundle is so worth it, particularly for mappers who have only the annual CC3+ license and want to upgrade to lifetime. But it's obviously more advantageous for map-making newbies considering you even get introductory guides to help you get started. The one caveat here is that while you can redeem the deal across platforms, the applications only function on Windows.
Philanthropic Aspect
As with other Humble Bundles, part of every purchase supports charitable organizations. In this instance, the beneficiary is Save the Children, an organization founded by Eglantyne Jebb in 1919 dedicated to enhancing children's welfare globally via educational programs, medical services, and crisis response. The Bundle Filters option is toward the top of the page, but you can also select any amount for a donation in the right-hand section. There's also an "Adjust Donation" drop-down just below that, allowing you to adjust the distribution percentage goes to Humble, Profantasy, and Save the Children.
