Incredible $30 Cartography Humble Bundle Represents a Virtual Tabletop GM's Dream

Following a brief run back in April, the Map Making Mega Bundle is back with an encore that lasts until Dec. 2. Described as an extensive collection of mapping tools created by a specialized software company throughout their history, the complete package is valued at over $1,300. And there are multiple package options offered in this deal.

The Main Attraction

The standout feature is certainly a lifetime license to the CC3+ software, a professional-grade mapping application that can be used to create everything from epic fantasy landscapes, detailed regional charts, city maps, and, perhaps most importantly, tactical combat environments.

An imaginative landscape chart created using Campaign Cartographer 3+.

Bundle Tiers

Entry Level

The cheapest bundle tier, at a minimum cost of $1, includes only four from the thirty-nine available products: Symbol Set 1: Fantasy Overland, Monster Token Pack 1, Source Maps: Castles!, and Source Maps: Cities!. This one's only for cartographers who already have CC3+, yet it provides new fantasy symbol styles 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 complete urban centers, plus seventy-plus building interiors.

Mid-Range Option

The eight-item bundle starting at fifteen dollars offers enhanced value by adding in a lifetime CC3+ license, Cartographer's Annual Vol 1, 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 additional utilities. Isometric Cities lets you present urban areas in 3D perspective with isometric views from multiple angles. And the Tome of Ultimate Mapping is a 760-page 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 includes all the following:

• Advanced Terrain Generator
• Dungeon Creation Tool
• Urban Planning Software
• Cosmographer 3
• Viewpoint Enhancement
• Scene Builder
• Character Design Module
• Symbol Set 2: Fantasy Floorplans
• Symbol Set 3: Modern
• Symbol Set 4: Dungeons of Schley
• Schley Urban Pack
• Token Treasury: Monsters 2
• Source Maps: Temples, Tombs and Catacombs
• Historical War Maps
• World Creation Guide
• Cartographer’s Annual Vol 1-17
• Campaign Cartographer 3+ (Lifetime License)
• 3D City Symbols
• Comprehensive Mapping Guide
• Symbol Set 1: Fantasy Overland
• Token Treasury: Monsters 1
• Source Maps: Castles!
• Source Maps: Cities!

All 17 volumes of Cartographer's Annual come with this bundle, alongside a slew of other resource and asset packs enabling creators to craft complete solar systems, or focus exclusively on classic fantasy realm creation: battle maps, dungeons, urban centers, and land masses in multiple viewpoints. Users can also create character portraits. At thirty versus fifteen dollars, the full bundle is so worth it, particularly for mappers who have only the annual CC3+ license and want to upgrade to lifetime. But it's obviously more advantageous for cartography beginners considering you even get the beginners' tutorials to help you get started. The sole limitation though you can redeem the deal on any platform, the applications only function with Windows systems.

Philanthropic Aspect

Similar to previous bundles, part of every purchase goes to benefit a nonprofit. For this one, the beneficiary is Save the Children, established in 1919 by Eglantyne Jebb dedicated to enhancing children's welfare globally through education, health care, and emergency relief. Package customization options 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 the distribution percentage goes to Humble, Profantasy, and Save the Children.
