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

After a short availability earlier this year, this cartography software collection has returned for a limited time that lasts until Dec. 2. Hailed as a "treasure trove of assets and apps" developed by a specialized software company over the years, the complete package carries a value of more than thirteen hundred dollars. And there are three different bundles offered in this deal.

Primary Feature

The big draw is definitely permanent access for Campaign Cartographer 3+, an industry-standard cartography program that can be used to create everything from fantasy overworld maps, smaller regional maps, urban layouts, and, perhaps most importantly, tactical combat environments.

A regional fantasy map created using Campaign Cartographer 3+.

Bundle Tiers

Entry Level

The cheapest bundle tier, at a minimum cost of $1, features merely four of the 39 total items: Fantasy Overland Symbol Collection, Monster Token Pack 1, Castle Source Maps, Urban Source Maps. This one's only for existing CC3+ users, but it does offer fresh fantasy design elements for landscape mapping, over seven hundred fifty creature tokens for use in virtual tabletops, over twenty-five top-down castle layouts with 470 associated map tokens, 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, Cartographer's Annual Vol 1, Tome of Ultimate Mapping, Isometric Cities Symbol Pack. Cartographer's Annual is the annual collection from the company's ongoing subscription program which includes multiple CC3+ enhancements like map collections and additional utilities. Isometric Cities lets you display cities with an extra dimension using angled views from multiple angles. And the Tome of Ultimate Mapping comprises 760 pages for beginners and "power users" alike, packed with guidance and instructions for the map-making process.

Complete Collection

Starting at thirty dollars, the 39-item bundle contains these components:

• Advanced Terrain Generator
• Dungeon Designer 3
• City Designer 3
• Cosmographer 3
• Perspectives 3
• Dioramas 3
• Character Artist 3
• Symbol Set 2: Fantasy Floorplans
• Symbol Set 3: Modern
• Symbol Set 4: Dungeons of Schley
• Symbol Set 5: Cities of Schley
• Monster Token Collection 2
• Religious Structure Maps
• World War 2 Interactive Atlas
• World Builder’s Compendium
• Annual Volumes 1-17
• Permanent CC3+ Access
• Symbol Set 6: Isometric Cities
• Comprehensive Mapping Guide
• Symbol Set 1: Fantasy Overland
• Token Treasury: Monsters 1
• Source Maps: Castles!
• Metropolitan Source Maps

Every volume of Cartographer's Annual are included here, 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: combat arenas, underground complexes, cities, and continents in multiple viewpoints. Users can also create character illustrations. At thirty versus fifteen dollars, the complete collection 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 cartography beginners since it includes the beginners' tutorials to help you get started. The one caveat here is that while the purchase is available across platforms, the software is only usable with Windows systems.

Charitable Component

Similar to previous bundles, a portion of each sale supports charitable organizations. In this instance, that's 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. Package customization options appear near the page top, though users may also choose their donation amount in the right-hand section. Additionally available is an donation allocation menu immediately below, allowing you to adjust the distribution percentage goes to Humble, Profantasy, and Save the Children.
