Incredible $30 Map-Making Humble Bundle Is a Virtual Tabletop GM's Dream

After a brief run back in April, the Map Making Mega Bundle is back for a limited time available through early December. Described as an extensive collection of mapping tools developed by ProFantasy Software over the years, the entire collection is valued at over $1,300. Additionally, there exist multiple package options offered in this deal.

The Main Attraction

The standout feature is definitely a lifetime license for Campaign Cartographer 3+, a professional-grade cartography program that can be used to generate various types including fantasy overworld maps, detailed regional charts, urban layouts, and, perhaps most importantly, dungeon and tabletop battle maps.

Bundle Tiers

Entry Level

The cheapest bundle tier, starting at just one dollar, includes only 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 cartographers who already have CC3+, but it does offer fresh fantasy design elements for overworld maps, more than 750 monster tokens for use in virtual tabletops, 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 offers enhanced value through inclusion of a lifetime CC3+ license, 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 multiple CC3+ enhancements including map packs and various other tools. The Isometric Cities enables present urban areas in 3D perspective using angled views from multiple angles. Meanwhile, the Mapping Tome comprises 760 pages suitable for novices and experts, packed with guidance and instructions for the map-making process.

Full Package

Starting at thirty dollars, the 39-item bundle includes all the following:

• Fractal Terrains 3+
• Dungeon Designer 3
• City Designer 3
• Cosmic Mapping System
• Perspectives 3
• Dioramas 3
• Character Design Module
• Fantasy Interior Symbols
• Contemporary Design Pack
• Symbol Set 4: Dungeons of Schley
• Symbol Set 5: Cities of Schley
• Token Treasury: Monsters 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
• Fantasy Landscape Symbols
• Token Treasury: Monsters 1
• Source Maps: Castles!
• Source Maps: Cities!

All 17 volumes from the Annual series are included here, alongside a slew of additional tools and content enabling creators to design entire planets or galaxies, or just go all-in on traditional fantasy world-building: battle maps, dungeons, urban centers, and land masses from almost any perspective. Users can also create character portraits. For $30 as opposed to $15, the complete collection offers tremendous value, particularly for mappers who have only the annual CC3+ license and want to upgrade to lifetime. However, it's clearly an even better deal for cartography beginners considering you even get introductory guides to help you get started. The sole limitation is that while you can redeem the deal across platforms, the applications only function on Windows.

Charitable Component

As with other Humble Bundles, part of every purchase goes to benefit a nonprofit. For this one, that's 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, but you can also select their donation amount on the right side of the page. There's also an donation allocation menu just below that, enabling adjustment of the distribution percentage allocated between the platform, developer, and charity.
