Amazing $30 Map-Making Humble Bundle Represents a Virtual Tabletop GM's Dream

After a short availability earlier this year, the Map Making Mega Bundle has returned with an encore that lasts through early December. Hailed as an extensive collection of mapping tools created by a specialized software company over the years, the complete package 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+, an industry-standard mapping application which enables users to generate various types including epic fantasy landscapes, detailed regional charts, urban layouts, and most notably, tactical combat environments.

A regional fantasy map created using Campaign Cartographer 3+.

Bundle Tiers

Basic Package

The most affordable option, starting at just one dollar, includes only four from the thirty-nine available products: Fantasy Overland Symbol Collection, Token Treasury: Monsters 1, Castle Source Maps, Urban Source Maps. This one's only for cartographers who already have CC3+, yet it provides new fantasy symbol styles for landscape mapping, over seven hundred fifty creature tokens for use in virtual tabletops, more than two dozen top-down castle layouts with 470 associated map tokens, eight complete urban centers, plus seventy-plus building interiors.

Intermediate Package

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. Cartographer's Annual is the annual collection from the company's ongoing subscription program 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 all sides. And the Tome of Ultimate Mapping is a 760-page for beginners and "power users" alike, packed with guidance and instructions covering cartography techniques.

Complete Collection

For a minimum of $30, 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

• Symbol Set 4: Dungeons of Schley
• Symbol Set 5: Cities of Schley
• Monster Token Collection 2
• Source Maps: Temples, Tombs and Catacombs
• World War 2 Interactive Atlas
• World Creation Guide

• 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 come with this bundle, alongside a slew of other resource and asset packs enabling creators to craft complete solar systems, or focus exclusively on classic fantasy realm creation: combat arenas, dungeons, cities, and continents in multiple viewpoints. Users can also create character portraits. For $30 as opposed to $15, the full bundle is so worth it, especially for cartographers who have only the annual CC3+ license and want to upgrade to lifetime. But it's obviously an even better deal for cartography beginners since it includes introductory guides to help you get started. The sole limitation though the purchase is available across platforms, the software is only usable with Windows systems.

Charitable Component

As with other Humble Bundles, a portion of each sale supports charitable organizations. In this instance, that's Save the Children, established in 1919 by Eglantyne Jebb focused on improving the lives of children worldwide via educational programs, medical services, and crisis response. The Bundle Filters option is toward the top of the page, but you can also select any amount for a donation on the right side of the page. Additionally available is an donation allocation menu immediately below, allowing you to adjust how much of your donation allocated between the platform, developer, and charity.
