Incredible $30 Cartography Software Bundle Is a Online Gaming GM's Dream
Following a short availability back in April, the Map Making Mega Bundle has returned with an encore that lasts through early December. Hailed as an extensive collection of mapping tools created by ProFantasy Software throughout their history, the entire collection 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, a professional-grade mapping application which enables users to generate various types including epic fantasy landscapes, smaller regional maps, city maps, and, perhaps most importantly, dungeon and tabletop battle maps.
A regional fantasy map generated in Campaign Cartographer 3+.
Bundle Tiers
Entry Level
The cheapest bundle tier, at a minimum cost of $1, includes only four of the 39 total items: 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, more than two dozen aerial castle designs including hundreds of map markers, eight complete urban centers, and more than 70 urban floorplans.
Mid-Range Option
The eight-item bundle starting at fifteen dollars offers enhanced value by adding in permanent CC3+ access, Cartographer's Annual Vol 1, Ultimate Mapping Guidebook, and Symbol Set 6: Isometric Cities. Cartographer's Annual is 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 using angled views from all sides. Meanwhile, the Mapping Tome is a 760-page 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
- Viewpoint Enhancement
- Dioramas 3
- Character Design Module
- Fantasy Interior Symbols
- Contemporary Design Pack
- Schley Dungeon Collection
- Symbol Set 5: Cities of Schley
- Token Treasury: Monsters 2
- Religious Structure Maps
- Historical War Maps
- World Builder’s Compendium
- Cartographer’s Annual Vol 1-17
- Campaign Cartographer 3+ (Lifetime License)
- 3D City Symbols
- Tome of Ultimate Mapping
- Fantasy Landscape Symbols
- Token Treasury: Monsters 1
- Source Maps: Castles!
- Source Maps: Cities!
All 17 volumes of Cartographer's Annual are included here, plus numerous other resource and asset packs that can help users craft complete solar systems, or focus exclusively on traditional fantasy world-building: combat arenas, dungeons, cities, and land masses from almost any perspective. You can even design character illustrations. For $30 as opposed to $15, the full bundle 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 map-making newbies since it includes introductory guides to facilitate learning. The sole limitation is that while you can redeem the deal across platforms, the software is only usable with Windows systems.
Charitable Component
Similar to previous bundles, a portion of each sale supports charitable organizations. In this instance, the beneficiary is 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, but you can also select any amount for a donation on the right side of the page. There's also an "Adjust Donation" drop-down immediately below, enabling adjustment of how much of your donation goes to Humble, Profantasy, and Save the Children.
