Fantastic $30 Map-Making Humble Bundle Is a Online Gaming GM's Dream

After a brief run earlier this year, the Map Making Mega Bundle has returned for a limited time available through early December. Hailed as an extensive collection of mapping tools developed by a specialized software company over the years, the entire collection carries a value of over $1,300. And there are three different bundles available here.

The Main Attraction

The big draw is certainly permanent access to the CC3+ software, a professional-grade cartography program which enables users to create everything from epic fantasy landscapes, smaller regional maps, city maps, and, perhaps most importantly, dungeon and tabletop battle maps.

A regional fantasy map created using Campaign Cartographer 3+.

Bundle Tiers

Entry Level

The most affordable option, starting at just one dollar, features merely four from the thirty-nine available products: Symbol Set 1: Fantasy Overland, Monster Token Pack 1, Source Maps: Castles!, and Source Maps: Cities!. 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 compatible with online gaming platforms, 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 for at least $15 is where things get more interesting through inclusion of a lifetime CC3+ license, the first Annual volume, Ultimate Mapping Guidebook, Isometric Cities Symbol Pack. Cartographer's Annual is the yearly bundle from ProFantasy's long-running monthly subscription service featuring a variety CC3+ add-ons like map collections and various other tools. The Isometric Cities enables display cities with an extra dimension with isometric views from multiple angles. And the Tome of Ultimate Mapping comprises 760 pages suitable for novices and experts, packed with guidance and instructions for the map-making process.

Complete Collection

Starting at thirty dollars, the comprehensive package contains these components:

  • Advanced Terrain Generator
  • Dungeon Creation Tool
  • Urban Planning Software
  • Cosmic Mapping System
  • Perspectives 3
  • Dioramas 3
  • Character Artist 3
  • Fantasy Interior Symbols

  • Source Maps: Castles!
  • Metropolitan Source Maps

Every volume from the Annual series are included here, alongside a slew of other resource and asset packs enabling creators to design entire planets or galaxies, or just go all-in on traditional fantasy world-building: combat arenas, dungeons, cities, and land masses from almost any perspective. Users can also create character portraits. 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 an even better deal for cartography beginners since it includes 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.

Charitable Component

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 their donation amount on the right side of the page. Additionally available is an donation allocation menu immediately below, allowing you to adjust how much of your donation allocated between the platform, developer, and charity.
