Fantastic $30 Cartography Humble Bundle Is a Virtual Tabletop Game Master's Fantasy

Following a short availability back in April, this cartography software collection has returned for a limited time that lasts until Dec. 2. 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. Additionally, there exist three different bundles offered in this deal.

The Main Attraction

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

A regional fantasy map generated in the CC3+ software platform.

Package Levels

Basic Package

The cheapest bundle tier, at a minimum cost of $1, features merely four of the 39 total items: Symbol Set 1: Fantasy Overland, Token Treasury: Monsters 1, Castle Source Maps, and Source Maps: Cities!. This one's only for cartographers who already have CC3+, yet it provides fresh fantasy design elements for overworld maps, over seven hundred fifty creature tokens compatible with online gaming platforms, more than two dozen top-down castle layouts with 470 associated map tokens, eight complete urban centers, and more than 70 urban floorplans.

Mid-Range Option

The eight-item bundle starting at fifteen dollars offers enhanced value by adding in permanent CC3+ access, the first Annual volume, 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 featuring a variety CC3+ add-ons including map packs and additional utilities. Isometric Cities lets you present urban areas in 3D perspective with isometric views from multiple angles. Meanwhile, the Mapping Tome is a 760-page for beginners and "power users" alike, full of tips and tutorials for the map-making process.

Complete Collection

For a minimum of $30, the 39-item bundle contains these components:

• Advanced Terrain Generator
• Dungeon Designer 3
• City Designer 3
• Cosmographer 3
• Viewpoint Enhancement
• Scene Builder
• Character Design Module
• Symbol Set 2: Fantasy Floorplans
• Symbol Set 3: Modern
• Schley Dungeon Collection
• Symbol Set 5: Cities of Schley
• Monster Token Collection 2
• Source Maps: Temples, Tombs and Catacombs
• Historical War Maps

• Permanent CC3+ Access
• Symbol Set 6: Isometric Cities
• Tome of Ultimate Mapping
• Symbol Set 1: Fantasy Overland
• Monster Token Set 1
• Source Maps: Castles!
• Source Maps: Cities!

Every volume from the Annual series come with this bundle, alongside a slew of other resource and asset packs enabling creators to craft complete solar systems, or just go all-in on traditional fantasy world-building: battle maps, underground complexes, urban centers, and land masses from almost any perspective. Users can also create character illustrations. For $30 as opposed to $15, the complete collection is so worth it, particularly for mappers with temporary CC3+ access seeking permanent licensing. But it's obviously an even better deal for cartography beginners considering you even get the beginners' tutorials to facilitate learning. The sole limitation though the purchase is available on any platform, the software is only usable on Windows.

Philanthropic Aspect

As with other Humble Bundles, part of every purchase supports charitable organizations. For this one, the beneficiary is 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 appear near the page top, but you can also select their donation amount on the right side of the page. There's also an "Adjust Donation" drop-down just below that, enabling adjustment of the distribution percentage allocated between the platform, developer, and charity.
