Incredible $30 Map-Making Software Bundle Is a Virtual Tabletop GM's Dream
After a short availability earlier this year, this cartography software collection is back with an encore available through early December. Hailed 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 three different bundles offered in this deal.
The Main Attraction
The big draw is certainly a lifetime license for Campaign Cartographer 3+, an industry-standard mapping application which enables users to create everything from epic fantasy landscapes, detailed regional charts, city maps, and most notably, dungeon and tabletop battle maps.
An imaginative landscape chart created using the CC3+ software platform.
Package Levels
Basic Package
The most affordable option, starting at just one dollar, includes only four from the thirty-nine available products: Symbol Set 1: Fantasy Overland, Token Treasury: Monsters 1, Source Maps: Castles!, and Source Maps: Cities!. This package suits cartographers who already have CC3+, yet it provides new fantasy symbol styles for overworld maps, over seven hundred fifty creature tokens compatible with online gaming platforms, over twenty-five aerial castle designs with 470 associated map tokens, eight fully mapped cities, and more than 70 urban floorplans.
Intermediate Package
The eight-product collection starting at fifteen dollars is where things get more interesting by adding in permanent CC3+ access, the first Annual volume, Tome of Ultimate Mapping, and Symbol Set 6: Isometric Cities. The Annual represents the annual collection from the company's ongoing subscription program which includes a variety CC3+ add-ons including map packs and various other tools. Isometric Cities lets you display cities with an extra dimension with isometric views from all sides. Meanwhile, the Mapping Tome is a 760-page suitable for novices and experts, full of tips and tutorials for the map-making process.
Complete Collection
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
- Scene Builder
- Character Design Module
- 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

- Campaign Cartographer 3+ (Lifetime License)
- 3D City Symbols
- Tome of Ultimate Mapping
- Fantasy Landscape Symbols
- Monster Token Set 1
- Source Maps: Castles!
- Source Maps: Cities!
All 17 volumes from the Annual series come with this bundle, alongside a slew of other resource and asset packs that can help users design entire planets or galaxies, or focus exclusively on classic fantasy realm creation: combat arenas, dungeons, urban centers, and continents from almost any perspective. You can even design character illustrations. For $30 as opposed to $15, the complete collection offers tremendous value, particularly for mappers with temporary CC3+ access seeking permanent licensing. But it's obviously more advantageous for map-making newbies considering you even get the beginners' tutorials to help you get started. The one caveat here is that while you can redeem the deal on any platform, the software is only usable on Windows.
Philanthropic Aspect
As with other Humble Bundles, a portion of each sale goes to benefit a nonprofit. In this instance, that's Save the Children, established in 1919 by Eglantyne Jebb focused on improving the lives of children worldwide through education, health care, and emergency relief. Package customization options 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 just below that, enabling adjustment of how much of your donation allocated between the platform, developer, and charity.
