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

After a short availability back in April, the Map Making Mega Bundle has returned for a limited time that lasts through early December. Hailed as a "treasure trove of assets and apps" created by ProFantasy Software 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 big draw is certainly a lifetime license to the CC3+ software, a professional-grade mapping application which enables users to create everything from fantasy overworld maps, smaller regional maps, city maps, and, perhaps most importantly, tactical combat environments.

An imaginative landscape chart created using the CC3+ software platform.

Bundle Tiers

Basic Package

The most affordable option, at a minimum cost of $1, features merely four of the 39 total items: Symbol Set 1: Fantasy Overland, Token Treasury: Monsters 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 compatible with online gaming platforms, more than two dozen aerial castle designs including hundreds of map markers, eight complete urban centers, plus seventy-plus building interiors.

Mid-Range Option

The eight-item bundle starting at fifteen dollars offers enhanced value by adding in permanent CC3+ access, the first Annual volume, Ultimate Mapping Guidebook, Isometric Cities Symbol Pack. The Annual represents the yearly bundle from ProFantasy'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 with isometric views from all sides. Meanwhile, the Mapping Tome comprises 760 pages for beginners and "power users" alike, full of tips and tutorials covering cartography techniques.

Full Package

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

• Fractal Terrains 3+
• Dungeon Designer 3
• Urban Planning Software
• Cosmic Mapping System
• Viewpoint Enhancement
• Scene Builder
• Character Artist 3
• Fantasy Interior Symbols
• 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

• Permanent CC3+ Access
• Symbol Set 6: Isometric Cities
• Tome of Ultimate Mapping
• Fantasy Landscape Symbols
• Token Treasury: Monsters 1
• Source Maps: Castles!
• Metropolitan Source Maps

Every volume of Cartographer's Annual come with this bundle, alongside a slew of additional tools and content that can help users design entire planets or galaxies, or focus exclusively on classic fantasy realm creation: battle maps, dungeons, cities, and land masses in multiple viewpoints. You can even design character portraits. For $30 as opposed to $15, the full bundle offers tremendous value, particularly for mappers with temporary CC3+ access and want to upgrade to lifetime. However, it's clearly an even better deal for map-making newbies since it includes the beginners' tutorials to facilitate learning. The one caveat here though you can redeem the deal on any platform, the software is only usable with Windows systems.

Philanthropic Aspect

As with other Humble Bundles, part of every purchase goes to benefit a nonprofit. In this instance, the beneficiary is Save the Children, an organization founded by Eglantyne Jebb in 1919 dedicated to enhancing children's welfare globally through education, health care, and emergency relief. The Bundle Filters option appear near the page top, though users may also choose their donation amount in the right-hand section. There's also an donation allocation menu immediately below, allowing you to adjust how much of your donation goes to Humble, Profantasy, and Save the Children.
