Incredible $30 Cartography Software Bundle Represents a Online Gaming GM's Dream

After a brief run back in April, this cartography software collection has returned for a limited time that lasts through early December. Hailed as an extensive collection of mapping tools developed by a specialized software company over the years, the entire collection carries a value of more than thirteen hundred dollars. And there are multiple package options available here.

Primary Feature

The big draw is certainly a lifetime license for Campaign Cartographer 3+, 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, dungeon and tabletop battle maps.

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

Package Levels

Basic Package

The cheapest bundle tier, starting at just one dollar, includes only four from the thirty-nine available products: Symbol Set 1: Fantasy Overland, Token Treasury: Monsters 1, Source Maps: Castles!, Urban Source Maps. This one's only for existing CC3+ users, but it does offer new fantasy symbol styles for overworld maps, over seven hundred fifty creature tokens for use in virtual tabletops, more than two dozen aerial castle designs with 470 associated map tokens, eight complete urban centers, and more than 70 urban floorplans.

Intermediate Package

The eight-item bundle for at least $15 is where things get more interesting 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 long-running monthly subscription service which includes a variety CC3+ add-ons including map packs and additional utilities. Isometric Cities lets you display cities with an extra dimension with isometric views from multiple angles. And the Tome of Ultimate Mapping comprises 760 pages for beginners and "power users" alike, full of tips and tutorials for the map-making process.

Complete Collection

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

• Advanced Terrain Generator
• Dungeon Designer 3
• City Designer 3
• Cosmic Mapping System
• Viewpoint Enhancement
• Scene Builder
• Character Design Module
• Fantasy Interior Symbols
• Symbol Set 3: Modern
• Schley Dungeon Collection
• Schley Urban Pack
• Monster Token Collection 2
• Religious Structure Maps
• Historical War Maps
• World Builder’s Compendium
• Cartographer’s Annual Vol 1-17
• Campaign Cartographer 3+ (Lifetime License)
• Symbol Set 6: Isometric Cities
• Tome of Ultimate Mapping
• Fantasy Landscape Symbols
• Token Treasury: Monsters 1
• Fortress Source Maps
• Metropolitan Source Maps

Every volume from the Annual series are included here, alongside a slew of additional tools and content enabling creators to design entire planets or galaxies, or focus exclusively on classic fantasy realm creation: combat arenas, dungeons, urban centers, and land masses from almost any perspective. Users can also create character illustrations. For $30 as opposed to $15, the complete collection offers tremendous value, particularly for mappers who have only the annual CC3+ license seeking permanent licensing. But it's obviously an even better deal for cartography beginners since it includes introductory guides to facilitate learning. The sole limitation is that while you can redeem the deal across platforms, the applications only function on Windows.

Philanthropic Aspect

As with other Humble Bundles, a portion of each sale goes to benefit a nonprofit. 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. The Bundle Filters option is toward the top of the page, but you can also select any amount for a donation in the right-hand section. There's also an donation allocation menu immediately below, enabling adjustment of how much of your donation goes to Humble, Profantasy, and Save the Children.
