Fantastic $30 Cartography Software Bundle Represents a Online Gaming Game Master's Fantasy

After a brief run back in April, the Map Making Mega Bundle has returned with an encore that lasts through early December. Hailed as an extensive collection of mapping tools created by a specialized software company throughout their history, the entire collection is valued at more than thirteen hundred dollars. And there are three different bundles available here.

The Main Attraction

The big draw is certainly a lifetime license for Campaign Cartographer 3+, a professional-grade cartography program that can be used to generate various types including fantasy overworld maps, smaller regional maps, urban layouts, and, perhaps most importantly, tactical combat environments.

An imaginative landscape chart generated in Campaign Cartographer 3+.

Package Levels

Entry Level

The most affordable option, starting at just one dollar, includes only four from the thirty-nine available products: Fantasy Overland Symbol Collection, Monster Token Pack 1, Source Maps: Castles!, Urban Source Maps. This one's only for cartographers who already have CC3+, but it does offer 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 with 470 associated map tokens, eight fully mapped cities, plus seventy-plus building interiors.

Intermediate Package

The eight-product collection for at least $15 offers enhanced value through inclusion of a lifetime CC3+ license, Cartographer's Annual Vol 1, Ultimate Mapping Guidebook, Isometric Cities Symbol Pack. Cartographer's Annual is the annual collection from the company's ongoing subscription program which includes multiple CC3+ enhancements including map packs and additional utilities. The Isometric Cities enables present urban areas in 3D perspective using angled views from multiple angles. And the Tome of Ultimate Mapping comprises 760 pages for beginners and "power users" alike, packed with guidance and instructions covering cartography techniques.

Full Package

For a minimum of $30, the 39-item bundle contains these components:

• Fractal Terrains 3+
• Dungeon Creation Tool
• Urban Planning Software
• Cosmographer 3
• Viewpoint Enhancement
• Dioramas 3
• Character Artist 3
• Symbol Set 2: Fantasy Floorplans
• Contemporary Design Pack
• Schley Dungeon Collection
• Schley Urban Pack
• Monster Token Collection 2
• Source Maps: Temples, Tombs and Catacombs
• Historical War Maps
• World Creation Guide
• Cartographer’s Annual Vol 1-17
• Permanent CC3+ Access
• 3D City Symbols
• Comprehensive Mapping Guide
• Fantasy Landscape Symbols
• Token Treasury: Monsters 1
• Source Maps: Castles!
• Source Maps: Cities!

Every volume from the Annual series are included here, alongside a slew of other resource and asset packs enabling creators to craft complete solar systems, or just go all-in on traditional fantasy world-building: battle maps, dungeons, urban centers, and continents in multiple viewpoints. You can even design character illustrations. At thirty versus fifteen dollars, the complete collection offers tremendous value, especially for cartographers who have only the annual CC3+ license seeking permanent licensing. But it's obviously more advantageous for map-making newbies since it includes introductory guides to help you get started. The sole limitation though you can redeem the deal across platforms, the software is only usable with Windows systems.

Charitable Component

As with other Humble Bundles, part of every purchase goes to benefit a nonprofit. In this instance, that's Save the Children, established in 1919 by Eglantyne Jebb focused on improving the lives of children worldwide via educational programs, medical services, and crisis response. Package customization options appear near the page top, but you can also select any amount for a donation in the right-hand section. There's also an "Adjust Donation" drop-down immediately below, enabling adjustment of how much of your donation goes to Humble, Profantasy, and Save the Children.
