Fantastic $30 Cartography Humble Bundle Is a Online Gaming GM's Dream
After a brief run back in April, this cartography software collection is back with an encore that lasts through early December. Described as an extensive collection of mapping tools developed by a specialized software company throughout their history, the entire collection is valued at over $1,300. And there are three different bundles available here.
Primary Feature
The big draw is definitely a lifetime license to the CC3+ software, a professional-grade mapping application that can be used to create everything from epic fantasy landscapes, smaller regional maps, urban layouts, and most notably, tactical combat environments.
An imaginative landscape chart generated in Campaign Cartographer 3+.
Bundle Tiers
Entry Level
The cheapest bundle tier, starting at just one dollar, features merely four of the 39 total items: Symbol Set 1: Fantasy Overland, Monster Token Pack 1, Castle Source Maps, Urban Source Maps. This package suits existing CC3+ users, yet it provides new fantasy symbol styles for landscape mapping, over seven hundred fifty creature tokens compatible with online gaming platforms, over twenty-five top-down castle layouts with 470 associated map tokens, eight fully mapped cities, and more than 70 urban floorplans.
Intermediate Package
The eight-item bundle for at least $15 offers enhanced value by adding in permanent CC3+ access, the first Annual volume, Tome of Ultimate Mapping, Isometric Cities Symbol Pack. Cartographer's Annual is the annual collection from the company's ongoing subscription program featuring multiple CC3+ enhancements including map packs and various other tools. The Isometric Cities enables display cities with an extra dimension using angled views from all sides. And the Tome of Ultimate Mapping comprises 760 pages suitable for novices and experts, full of tips and tutorials covering cartography techniques.

Starting at thirty dollars, the comprehensive package includes all the following:
- Fractal Terrains 3+

All 17 volumes from the Annual series come with this bundle, plus numerous additional tools and content enabling creators to design entire planets or galaxies, or focus exclusively on classic fantasy realm creation: battle maps, dungeons, cities, and land masses in multiple viewpoints. You can even design character illustrations. For $30 as opposed to $15, the complete collection offers tremendous value, especially for cartographers 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 though you can redeem the deal on any platform, the applications only function on Windows.
Charitable Component
Similar to previous bundles, a portion of each sale goes to benefit a nonprofit. In this instance, that's Save the Children, established in 1919 by Eglantyne Jebb dedicated to enhancing children's welfare globally 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 donation allocation menu just below that, allowing you to adjust how much of your donation goes to Humble, Profantasy, and Save the Children.
