Incredible $30 Map-Making Humble Bundle Is a Online Gaming 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. Hailed as a "treasure trove of assets and apps" developed by a specialized software company throughout their history, the entire collection carries a value of more than thirteen hundred dollars. And there are three different bundles available here.

Primary Feature

The big draw is definitely permanent access for Campaign Cartographer 3+, an industry-standard cartography program that can be used to generate various types including epic fantasy landscapes, detailed regional charts, city maps, and, perhaps most importantly, tactical combat environments.

A regional fantasy map created using Campaign Cartographer 3+.

Bundle Tiers

Entry Level

The cheapest bundle tier, starting at just one dollar, includes only four from the thirty-nine available products: Fantasy Overland Symbol Collection, Token Treasury: Monsters 1, Castle Source Maps, and Source Maps: Cities!. This package suits cartographers who already have CC3+, yet it provides fresh fantasy design elements for landscape mapping, over seven hundred fifty creature tokens for use in virtual tabletops, more than two dozen aerial castle designs including hundreds of map markers, eight fully mapped cities, plus seventy-plus building interiors.

Mid-Range Option

The eight-product collection for at least $15 is where things get more interesting by adding in permanent CC3+ access, Cartographer's Annual Vol 1, Ultimate Mapping Guidebook, and Symbol Set 6: Isometric Cities. The Annual represents the annual collection from the company's long-running monthly subscription service which includes multiple CC3+ enhancements like map collections and various other tools. The Isometric Cities enables present urban areas in 3D perspective with isometric views from multiple angles. Meanwhile, the Mapping Tome is a 760-page for beginners and "power users" alike, full of tips and tutorials covering cartography techniques.

Complete Collection

For a minimum of $30, the 39-item bundle contains these components:

• Fractal Terrains 3+
• Dungeon Designer 3
• Urban Planning Software
• Cosmic Mapping System
• Viewpoint Enhancement
• Scene Builder
• Character Design Module
• Symbol Set 2: Fantasy Floorplans
• Symbol Set 3: Modern
• Schley Dungeon Collection
• Symbol Set 5: Cities of Schley
• Monster Token Collection 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
• Tome of Ultimate Mapping
• Symbol Set 1: Fantasy Overland
• Token Treasury: Monsters 1
• Source Maps: Castles!
• Metropolitan Source Maps

All 17 volumes from the Annual series come with this bundle, alongside a slew of other resource and asset packs that can help users craft complete solar systems, or focus exclusively on traditional fantasy world-building: combat arenas, dungeons, urban centers, and continents in multiple viewpoints. You can even design character portraits. At thirty versus fifteen dollars, the full bundle offers tremendous value, particularly for mappers with temporary CC3+ access and want to upgrade to lifetime. But it's obviously more advantageous for cartography beginners considering you even get the beginners' tutorials to facilitate learning. The sole limitation is that while you can redeem the deal across platforms, the applications only function with Windows systems.

Philanthropic Aspect

Similar to previous bundles, part of every purchase supports charitable organizations. In this instance, that's Save the Children, an organization founded by Eglantyne Jebb in 1919 focused on improving the lives of children worldwide via educational programs, medical services, and crisis response. The Bundle Filters option is toward the top of the page, but you can also select their donation amount in the right-hand section. There's also an "Adjust Donation" drop-down just below that, allowing you to adjust the distribution percentage goes to Humble, Profantasy, and Save the Children.
