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

Following a short availability back in April, this cartography software collection has returned for a limited time that lasts through early December. Described as an extensive collection of mapping tools created by a specialized software company throughout their history, the complete package carries a value of 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, an industry-standard mapping application that can be used to generate various types including epic fantasy landscapes, detailed regional charts, urban layouts, and most notably, tactical combat environments.

A regional fantasy map generated in Campaign Cartographer 3+.

Package Levels

Entry Level

The cheapest bundle tier, starting at just one dollar, includes only four from the thirty-nine available products: Fantasy Overland Symbol Collection, Monster Token Pack 1, Source Maps: Castles!, and Source Maps: Cities!. This package suits cartographers who already have CC3+, but it does offer fresh fantasy design elements for overworld maps, over seven hundred fifty creature tokens compatible with online gaming platforms, over twenty-five aerial castle designs including hundreds of map markers, eight fully mapped cities, plus seventy-plus building interiors.

Intermediate Package

The eight-product collection for at least $15 is where things get more interesting by adding in a lifetime CC3+ license, Cartographer's Annual Vol 1, Tome of Ultimate Mapping, and Symbol Set 6: Isometric Cities. Cartographer's Annual is the annual collection from ProFantasy's ongoing subscription program featuring a variety CC3+ add-ons 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 suitable for novices and experts, full of tips and tutorials for the map-making process.

Complete Collection

Starting at thirty dollars, the comprehensive package includes all the following:

• Advanced Terrain Generator
• Dungeon Creation Tool
• Urban Planning Software
• Cosmographer 3
• Viewpoint Enhancement
• Scene Builder
• Character Artist 3
• Symbol Set 2: Fantasy Floorplans
• Symbol Set 3: Modern
• Schley Dungeon Collection

• World Creation Guide
• Annual Volumes 1-17
• Permanent CC3+ Access
• 3D City Symbols
• Comprehensive Mapping Guide
• Symbol Set 1: Fantasy Overland
• Token Treasury: Monsters 1
• Source Maps: Castles!
• Metropolitan Source Maps

All 17 volumes of Cartographer's Annual are included here, alongside a slew of other resource and asset packs that can help users craft complete solar systems, or focus exclusively on classic fantasy realm creation: combat arenas, dungeons, urban centers, and continents from almost any perspective. Users can also create character illustrations. At thirty versus fifteen dollars, the complete collection offers tremendous value, especially for cartographers with temporary CC3+ access seeking permanent licensing. But it's obviously more advantageous for cartography beginners since it includes introductory guides to help you get started. The one caveat here is that while the purchase is available on any platform, the applications only function with Windows systems.

Philanthropic Aspect

As with other Humble Bundles, part of every purchase goes to benefit a nonprofit. For this one, that's Save the Children, established in 1919 by Eglantyne Jebb focused on improving the lives of children worldwide via educational programs, medical services, and crisis response. The Bundle Filters option appear near the page top, but you can also select their donation amount in the right-hand section. Additionally available is an donation allocation menu just below that, allowing you to adjust how much of your donation goes to Humble, Profantasy, and Save the Children.
