Incredible $30 Cartography Humble Bundle Represents a Online Gaming GM's Dream

After a short availability earlier this year, this cartography software collection is back for a limited time available until Dec. 2. Described as an extensive collection of mapping tools created by ProFantasy Software over the years, the entire collection carries a value of more than thirteen hundred dollars. And there are multiple package options offered in this deal.

Primary Feature

The standout feature is certainly a lifetime license to the CC3+ software, an industry-standard mapping application which enables users to generate various types including epic fantasy landscapes, detailed regional charts, city maps, and, perhaps most importantly, dungeon and tabletop battle maps.

An imaginative landscape chart generated in Campaign Cartographer 3+.

Bundle Tiers

Entry Level

The most affordable option, at a minimum cost of $1, includes only four of the 39 total items: Symbol Set 1: Fantasy Overland, Token Treasury: Monsters 1, Source Maps: Castles!, and Source Maps: Cities!. This one's only for existing CC3+ users, yet it provides new fantasy symbol styles for overworld maps, more than 750 monster 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.

Intermediate Package

The eight-item bundle starting at fifteen dollars offers enhanced value by adding in permanent CC3+ access, the first Annual volume, Tome of Ultimate Mapping, and Symbol Set 6: Isometric Cities. Cartographer's Annual is the annual collection from ProFantasy's long-running monthly subscription service which includes multiple CC3+ enhancements like map collections and additional utilities. Isometric Cities lets you present urban areas in 3D perspective using angled views from multiple angles. Meanwhile, the Mapping Tome is a 760-page suitable for novices and experts, full of tips and tutorials covering cartography techniques.

Full Package

For a minimum of $30, the 39-item bundle includes all the following:

• Fractal Terrains 3+
• Dungeon Designer 3
• City Designer 3
• Cosmic Mapping System
• Viewpoint Enhancement
• Dioramas 3
• Character Artist 3
• Symbol Set 2: Fantasy Floorplans
• Contemporary Design Pack
• Symbol Set 4: Dungeons of Schley
• Symbol Set 5: Cities of Schley
• Monster Token Collection 2
• Source Maps: Temples, Tombs and Catacombs
• Historical War Maps
• World Creation Guide
• Cartographer’s Annual Vol 1-17
• Campaign Cartographer 3+ (Lifetime License)
• Symbol Set 6: Isometric Cities
• 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, alongside a slew of other resource and asset packs that can help users design entire planets or galaxies, or just go all-in on classic fantasy realm creation: combat arenas, dungeons, cities, and continents in multiple viewpoints. You can even design character portraits. For $30 as opposed to $15, the full bundle is so worth it, especially for cartographers who have only the annual CC3+ license and want to upgrade to lifetime. But it's obviously an even better deal for map-making newbies considering you even get introductory guides to help you get started. The one caveat here though the purchase is available on any platform, the software is only usable with Windows systems.

Philanthropic Aspect

As with other Humble Bundles, part of every purchase supports charitable organizations. For this one, the beneficiary is 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, but you can also select their donation amount on the right side of the page. Additionally available is an "Adjust Donation" drop-down immediately below, allowing you to adjust the distribution percentage allocated between the platform, developer, and charity.
