Amazing $30 Map-Making Humble Bundle Represents a Online Gaming Game Master's Fantasy

After a brief run back in April, the Map Making Mega Bundle has returned for a limited time available until Dec. 2. Described as an extensive collection of mapping tools developed by a specialized software company throughout their history, the entire collection is valued at more than thirteen hundred dollars. Additionally, there exist three different bundles offered in this deal.

Primary Feature

The standout feature is certainly permanent access to the CC3+ software, an industry-standard mapping application which enables users to generate various types including fantasy overworld maps, detailed regional charts, urban layouts, and most notably, tactical combat environments.

A regional fantasy map generated in Campaign Cartographer 3+.

Bundle Tiers

Entry Level

The most affordable option, at a minimum cost of $1, features merely four of the 39 total items: Fantasy Overland Symbol Collection, Token Treasury: Monsters 1, Source Maps: Castles!, and Source Maps: Cities!. This package suits cartographers who already have CC3+, but it does offer new fantasy symbol styles for landscape mapping, over seven hundred fifty creature tokens for use in virtual tabletops, over twenty-five top-down castle layouts including hundreds of map markers, eight fully mapped cities, plus seventy-plus building interiors.

Mid-Range Option

The eight-item bundle starting at fifteen dollars is where things get more interesting by adding in a lifetime CC3+ license, Cartographer's Annual Vol 1, Tome of Ultimate Mapping, Isometric Cities Symbol Pack. The Annual represents the annual collection from ProFantasy's long-running monthly subscription service featuring multiple CC3+ enhancements like map collections and additional utilities. Isometric Cities lets you present urban areas in 3D perspective with isometric views from multiple angles. Meanwhile, the Mapping Tome comprises 760 pages suitable for novices and experts, full of tips and tutorials for the map-making process.

Full Package

Starting at thirty dollars, the 39-item bundle contains these components:

• Fractal Terrains 3+
• Dungeon Designer 3
• City Designer 3
• Cosmographer 3
• Perspectives 3
• Scene Builder
• Character Artist 3
• Symbol Set 2: Fantasy Floorplans
• Symbol Set 3: Modern
• Symbol Set 4: Dungeons of Schley
• Schley Urban Pack
• Monster Token Collection 2
• Source Maps: Temples, Tombs and Catacombs
• World War 2 Interactive Atlas

• Annual Volumes 1-17
• Permanent CC3+ Access
• Symbol Set 6: Isometric Cities
• Comprehensive Mapping Guide
• Fantasy Landscape Symbols
• Monster Token Set 1
• Fortress Source Maps
• Metropolitan Source Maps

All 17 volumes of Cartographer's Annual come with this bundle, alongside a slew of additional tools and content enabling creators to design entire planets or galaxies, or focus exclusively on classic fantasy realm creation: combat arenas, underground complexes, urban centers, and land masses in multiple viewpoints. Users can also create character portraits. For $30 as opposed to $15, the complete collection offers tremendous value, particularly for mappers with temporary CC3+ access seeking permanent licensing. But it's obviously more advantageous for map-making newbies since it includes introductory guides to facilitate learning. The one caveat here is that while the purchase is available across platforms, the software is only usable on Windows.

Philanthropic Aspect

Similar to previous bundles, part of every purchase goes to benefit a nonprofit. For this one, that's Save the Children, established in 1919 by Eglantyne Jebb dedicated to enhancing children's welfare globally through education, health care, and emergency relief. The Bundle Filters option is toward the top of the page, though users may also choose any amount for a donation in the right-hand section. There's also an donation allocation menu just below that, enabling adjustment of how much of your donation goes to Humble, Profantasy, and Save the Children.
