Fantastic $30 Cartography Humble Bundle Is a Online Gaming GM's Dream

Following a brief run back in April, this cartography software collection has returned with an encore available until Dec. 2. Hailed as an extensive collection of mapping tools developed by a specialized software company over the years, the complete package is valued at more than thirteen hundred dollars. Additionally, there exist multiple package options offered in this deal.

The Main Attraction

The standout feature is certainly permanent access for Campaign Cartographer 3+, a professional-grade cartography program that can be used to generate various types including fantasy overworld maps, detailed regional charts, urban layouts, and, perhaps most importantly, tactical combat environments.

An imaginative landscape chart generated in Campaign Cartographer 3+.

Package Levels

Basic Package

The cheapest bundle tier, starting at just one dollar, features merely 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 fresh fantasy design elements 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, plus seventy-plus building interiors.

Mid-Range Option

The eight-item bundle starting at fifteen dollars is where things get more interesting through inclusion of permanent CC3+ access, the first Annual volume, 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 additional utilities. The Isometric Cities enables present urban areas in 3D perspective with isometric 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

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

• Fractal Terrains 3+
• Dungeon Creation Tool
• City Designer 3
• Cosmographer 3
• Viewpoint Enhancement
• Dioramas 3
• Character Design Module
• Fantasy Interior Symbols
• Contemporary Design Pack
• Schley Dungeon Collection
• Symbol Set 5: Cities of Schley
• Monster Token Collection 2

• Campaign Cartographer 3+ (Lifetime License)

• Tome of Ultimate Mapping
• Fantasy Landscape Symbols
• Token Treasury: Monsters 1
• Fortress Source Maps
• Source Maps: Cities!

All 17 volumes from the Annual series come with this bundle, plus numerous additional tools and content that can help users craft complete solar systems, or just go all-in on classic fantasy realm creation: battle maps, underground complexes, urban centers, and continents in multiple viewpoints. Users can also create character portraits. For $30 as opposed to $15, the complete collection offers tremendous value, particularly for mappers with temporary CC3+ access seeking permanent licensing. But it's obviously an even better deal for map-making newbies since it includes the beginners' tutorials to help you get started. The one caveat here though you can redeem the deal across platforms, the applications only function on Windows.
