Incredible $30 Map-Making Software Bundle Is a Online Gaming Game Master's Fantasy

Following a short availability back in April, the Map Making Mega Bundle is back with an encore that lasts through early December. Hailed as a "treasure trove of assets and apps" developed by ProFantasy Software throughout their history, the entire collection is valued at over $1,300. And there are multiple package options offered in this deal.

Primary Feature

The big draw is definitely permanent access to the CC3+ software, a professional-grade mapping application that can be used to create everything from fantasy overworld maps, detailed regional charts, urban layouts, and, perhaps most importantly, tactical combat environments.

An imaginative landscape chart generated in the CC3+ software platform.

Bundle Tiers

Basic Package

The most affordable option, at a minimum cost of $1, features merely four of the 39 total items: Symbol Set 1: Fantasy Overland, Monster Token Pack 1, Source Maps: Castles!, and Source Maps: Cities!. This one's only for existing CC3+ users, but it does offer new fantasy symbol styles for overworld maps, more than 750 monster tokens for use in virtual tabletops, more than two dozen aerial castle designs including hundreds of map markers, eight fully mapped cities, and more than 70 urban floorplans.

Intermediate Package

The eight-item bundle starting at fifteen dollars is where things get more interesting through inclusion of permanent CC3+ access, Cartographer's Annual Vol 1, Ultimate Mapping Guidebook, and Symbol Set 6: Isometric Cities. The Annual represents the annual collection from ProFantasy's ongoing subscription program which includes a variety CC3+ add-ons including map packs and additional utilities. Isometric Cities lets you present urban areas in 3D perspective with isometric views from multiple angles. And the Tome of Ultimate Mapping comprises 760 pages suitable for novices and experts, packed with guidance and instructions covering cartography techniques.

Full Package

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

• Fractal Terrains 3+
• Dungeon Creation Tool
• Urban Planning Software
• Cosmic Mapping System
• Viewpoint Enhancement
• Dioramas 3
• Character Artist 3
• Fantasy Interior Symbols
• Contemporary Design Pack
• Symbol Set 4: Dungeons of Schley
• Symbol Set 5: Cities of Schley
• Token Treasury: Monsters 2
• Source Maps: Temples, Tombs and Catacombs
• Historical War Maps
• World Creation Guide
• Annual Volumes 1-17
• Permanent CC3+ Access
• 3D City Symbols
• Comprehensive Mapping Guide
• Fantasy Landscape Symbols
• Monster Token Set 1
• Fortress Source Maps
• Source Maps: Cities!

Every volume of Cartographer's Annual come with this bundle, alongside a slew of additional tools and content 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 portraits. At thirty versus fifteen dollars, the complete collection is so worth it, particularly for mappers with temporary CC3+ access seeking permanent licensing. But it's obviously an even better deal for map-making newbies since it includes introductory guides to help you get started. The one caveat here though the purchase is available across platforms, the applications only function with Windows systems.

Philanthropic Aspect

As with other Humble Bundles, part of every purchase 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. The Bundle Filters option appear near the page top, though users may also choose any amount for a donation in the right-hand section. There's also an "Adjust Donation" drop-down immediately below, enabling adjustment of the distribution percentage allocated between the platform, developer, and charity.
