Fantastic $30 Map-Making Humble Bundle Represents a Online Gaming Game Master's Fantasy

Following a brief run earlier this year, the Map Making Mega Bundle has returned for a limited time that lasts until Dec. 2. Described as a "treasure trove of assets and apps" developed by a specialized software company throughout their history, the complete package is valued at more than thirteen hundred dollars. And there are three different bundles offered in this deal.

Primary Feature

The standout feature is certainly permanent access to the CC3+ software, an industry-standard 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 created using the CC3+ software platform.

Package Levels

Entry Level

The cheapest bundle tier, at a minimum cost of $1, features merely four from the thirty-nine available products: Fantasy Overland Symbol Collection, Token Treasury: Monsters 1, Source Maps: Castles!, Urban Source Maps. This one's only for 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-item bundle for at least $15 offers enhanced value by adding in a lifetime CC3+ license, Cartographer's Annual Vol 1, Tome of Ultimate Mapping, and Symbol Set 6: Isometric Cities. Cartographer's Annual is the yearly bundle from the company's long-running monthly subscription service which includes multiple CC3+ enhancements including map packs and various other tools. The Isometric Cities enables present urban areas in 3D perspective with isometric views from all sides. Meanwhile, the Mapping Tome is a 760-page for beginners and "power users" alike, packed with guidance and instructions for the map-making process.

Full Package

Starting at thirty dollars, the 39-item bundle contains these components:

• Advanced Terrain Generator
• Dungeon Designer 3
• City Designer 3
• Cosmic Mapping System
• Perspectives 3
• Scene Builder
• Character Design Module
• Symbol Set 2: Fantasy Floorplans
• Symbol Set 3: Modern
• Schley Dungeon Collection
• Schley Urban Pack
• Monster Token Collection 2
• Source Maps: Temples, Tombs and Catacombs
• 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
• Symbol Set 1: Fantasy Overland
• Monster Token Set 1
• Fortress Source Maps
• Metropolitan Source Maps

Every volume 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, cities, and continents from almost any perspective. Users can also create character portraits. At thirty versus fifteen dollars, the full bundle is so worth it, especially for cartographers who have only the annual CC3+ license seeking permanent licensing. However, it's clearly 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 applications only function on Windows.

Charitable Component

As with other Humble Bundles, part of every purchase supports charitable organizations. In this instance, the beneficiary is Save the Children, an organization founded by Eglantyne Jebb in 1919 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 their donation amount in the right-hand section. There's also an donation allocation menu immediately below, allowing you to adjust the distribution percentage goes to Humble, Profantasy, and Save the Children.
