Incredible $30 Map-Making Humble Bundle Is a Virtual Tabletop Game Master's Fantasy

Following a brief run back in April, the Map Making Mega Bundle has returned with an encore that lasts until Dec. 2. Hailed as a "treasure trove of assets and apps" created by ProFantasy Software throughout their history, the complete package carries a value of more than thirteen hundred dollars. Additionally, there exist multiple package options offered in this deal.

Primary Feature

The standout feature is definitely a lifetime license to the CC3+ software, a professional-grade mapping application which enables users to generate various types including fantasy overworld maps, smaller regional maps, urban layouts, and most notably, tactical combat environments.

A regional fantasy map created using Campaign Cartographer 3+.

Bundle Tiers

Entry Level

The cheapest bundle tier, starting at just one dollar, includes only four from the thirty-nine available products: Fantasy Overland Symbol Collection, Monster Token Pack 1, Castle Source Maps, and Source Maps: Cities!. This one's only for existing CC3+ users, yet it provides new fantasy symbol styles for landscape mapping, more than 750 monster tokens for use in virtual tabletops, more than two dozen top-down castle layouts with 470 associated map tokens, eight fully mapped cities, and more than 70 urban floorplans.

Intermediate Package

The eight-item bundle for at least $15 is where things get more interesting through inclusion of permanent CC3+ access, Cartographer's Annual Vol 1, Ultimate Mapping Guidebook, Isometric Cities Symbol Pack. The Annual represents the yearly bundle from the company's long-running monthly subscription service which includes multiple CC3+ enhancements including map packs and additional utilities. The Isometric Cities enables display cities with an extra dimension using angled views from all sides. And the Tome of Ultimate Mapping comprises 760 pages suitable for novices and experts, packed with guidance and instructions covering cartography techniques.

Complete Collection

For a minimum of $30, the comprehensive package contains these components:

• Fractal Terrains 3+
• Dungeon Designer 3
• City Designer 3
• Cosmographer 3
• Perspectives 3
• Scene Builder
• Character Artist 3
• Fantasy Interior Symbols
• Symbol Set 3: Modern
• Symbol Set 4: Dungeons of Schley
• Schley Urban Pack
• Monster Token Collection 2
• Religious Structure Maps
• World War 2 Interactive Atlas
• World Creation Guide
• Annual Volumes 1-17
• Campaign Cartographer 3+ (Lifetime License)
• 3D City Symbols
• Comprehensive Mapping Guide
• Symbol Set 1: Fantasy Overland
• Token Treasury: Monsters 1
• Fortress Source Maps
• Metropolitan Source Maps

Every volume from the Annual series are included here, plus numerous additional tools and content enabling creators to craft complete solar systems, or just go all-in on traditional fantasy world-building: battle maps, dungeons, cities, and land masses in multiple viewpoints. Users can also create character illustrations. At thirty versus fifteen dollars, the complete collection is so worth it, especially for cartographers with temporary CC3+ access and want to upgrade to lifetime. But it's obviously more advantageous for cartography beginners considering you even get the beginners' tutorials to help you get started. The one caveat here though you can redeem the deal on any platform, the software is only usable on Windows.

Philanthropic Aspect

As with other Humble Bundles, a portion of each sale supports charitable organizations. For this one, that's Save the Children, established in 1919 by Eglantyne Jebb 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, though users may also choose their donation amount in the right-hand section. There's also an "Adjust Donation" drop-down just below that, enabling adjustment of how much of your donation goes to Humble, Profantasy, and Save the Children.
