Amazing $30 Cartography Software Bundle Is a Online Gaming GM's Dream

Following a brief run earlier this year, this cartography software collection has returned for a limited time that lasts until Dec. 2. Described as an extensive collection of mapping tools developed by ProFantasy Software over the years, the complete package carries a value of over $1,300. Additionally, there exist multiple package options offered in this deal.

The Main Attraction

The big draw is definitely permanent access to the CC3+ software, an industry-standard mapping application which enables users to generate various types including fantasy overworld maps, smaller regional maps, urban layouts, and most notably, tactical combat environments.

Bundle Tiers

Basic Package

The cheapest bundle tier, at a minimum cost of $1, 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 existing CC3+ users, yet it provides new fantasy symbol styles for landscape mapping, more than 750 monster tokens compatible with online gaming platforms, over twenty-five aerial castle designs including hundreds of map markers, eight complete urban centers, plus seventy-plus building interiors.

Intermediate Package

The eight-product collection for at least $15 is where things get more interesting through inclusion of 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 featuring multiple CC3+ enhancements including map packs and various other tools. 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 for beginners and "power users" alike, full of tips and tutorials for the map-making process.

Complete Collection

For a minimum of $30, the comprehensive package includes all the following:

• Fractal Terrains 3+
• Dungeon Designer 3
• City Designer 3
• Cosmographer 3
• Viewpoint Enhancement
• Dioramas 3
• Character Design Module
• Symbol Set 2: Fantasy Floorplans
• Contemporary Design Pack
• Symbol Set 4: Dungeons of Schley
• Schley Urban Pack
• Token Treasury: Monsters 2
• Religious Structure Maps
• World War 2 Interactive Atlas
• World Creation Guide
• Annual Volumes 1-17
• Campaign Cartographer 3+ (Lifetime License)
• 3D City Symbols
• Tome of Ultimate Mapping
• Fantasy Landscape Symbols
• Monster Token Set 1
• Fortress Source Maps
• Metropolitan Source Maps

All 17 volumes of Cartographer's Annual are included here, alongside a slew of additional tools and content that can help users craft complete solar systems, or focus exclusively on traditional fantasy world-building: battle maps, underground complexes, urban centers, 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 with temporary CC3+ access seeking permanent licensing. But it's obviously more advantageous for cartography beginners since it includes the beginners' tutorials to help you get started. The one caveat here though you can redeem the deal across platforms, the software is only usable with Windows systems.

Philanthropic Aspect

As with other Humble Bundles, a portion of each sale supports charitable organizations. For this one, the beneficiary is Save the Children, an organization founded by Eglantyne Jebb in 1919 focused on improving the lives of children worldwide through education, health care, and emergency relief. Package customization options is toward the top of the page, but you can also select any amount for a donation on the right side of the page. There's also an "Adjust Donation" drop-down immediately below, enabling adjustment of how much of your donation allocated between the platform, developer, and charity.
