Incredible $30 Cartography Software Bundle Represents a Online Gaming GM's Dream
After a brief run back in April, this cartography software collection is back for a limited time available until Dec. 2. Hailed as a "treasure trove of assets and apps" developed by ProFantasy Software over the years, the entire collection is valued at more than thirteen hundred dollars. And there are three different bundles available here.
The Main Attraction
The big draw is definitely a lifetime license for Campaign Cartographer 3+, an industry-standard mapping application that can be used to generate various types including fantasy overworld maps, detailed regional charts, urban layouts, and, perhaps most importantly, dungeon and tabletop battle maps.
An imaginative landscape chart created using the CC3+ software platform.
Package Levels
Basic Package
The cheapest bundle tier, at a minimum cost of $1, includes only four from the thirty-nine available products: Fantasy Overland Symbol Collection, Monster Token Pack 1, Castle Source Maps, and Source Maps: Cities!. This one's only for existing CC3+ users, but it does offer fresh fantasy design elements for landscape mapping, more than 750 monster tokens for use in virtual tabletops, over twenty-five top-down castle layouts with 470 associated map tokens, eight fully mapped cities, plus seventy-plus building interiors.
Mid-Range Option
The eight-item bundle starting at fifteen dollars offers enhanced value through inclusion of permanent CC3+ access, the first Annual volume, Ultimate Mapping Guidebook, and Symbol Set 6: Isometric Cities. The Annual represents the yearly bundle from ProFantasy's long-running monthly subscription service which includes multiple CC3+ enhancements including map packs and additional utilities. The Isometric Cities enables present urban areas in 3D perspective using angled views from multiple angles. Meanwhile, the Mapping Tome is a 760-page suitable for novices and experts, packed with guidance and instructions covering cartography techniques.
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 Artist 3
- Symbol Set 2: Fantasy Floorplans

- Campaign Cartographer 3+ (Lifetime License)
- Symbol Set 6: Isometric Cities
- Tome of Ultimate Mapping
- Fantasy Landscape Symbols
- Token Treasury: Monsters 1
- Fortress Source Maps
- Source Maps: Cities!
All 17 volumes of Cartographer's Annual are included here, plus numerous additional tools and content enabling creators to design entire planets or galaxies, or just go all-in on traditional fantasy world-building: combat arenas, underground complexes, urban centers, and continents from almost any perspective. Users can also create character illustrations. At thirty versus fifteen dollars, the full bundle offers tremendous value, especially for cartographers with temporary CC3+ access seeking permanent licensing. But it's obviously more advantageous for cartography beginners considering you even get introductory guides to help you get started. The one caveat here though you can redeem the deal across platforms, the software is only usable with Windows systems.
Philanthropic Aspect
As with other Humble 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 focused on improving the lives of children worldwide through education, health care, and emergency relief. Package customization options is toward the top of the page, but you can also select their donation amount in the right-hand section. Additionally available is an "Adjust Donation" drop-down just below that, enabling adjustment of how much of your donation goes to Humble, Profantasy, and Save the Children.
