Incredible $30 Cartography Software Bundle Represents a Online Gaming GM's Dream
After a short availability back in April, the Map Making Mega Bundle is back for a limited time that lasts until Dec. 2. Hailed as a "treasure trove of assets and apps" created by a specialized software company throughout their history, the complete package is valued at over $1,300. Additionally, there exist multiple package options 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 fantasy overworld maps, detailed regional charts, city maps, and most notably, tactical combat environments.
A regional fantasy map generated in the CC3+ software platform.
Package Levels
Entry Level
The cheapest bundle tier, at a minimum cost of $1, includes only four of the 39 total items: Symbol Set 1: Fantasy Overland, Token Treasury: Monsters 1, Castle Source Maps, Urban Source Maps. This package suits cartographers who already have CC3+, but it does offer fresh fantasy design elements for overworld maps, 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 fully mapped cities, plus seventy-plus building interiors.
Intermediate Package
The eight-product collection for at least $15 is where things get more interesting by adding in permanent CC3+ access, the first Annual volume, Ultimate Mapping Guidebook, Isometric Cities Symbol Pack. Cartographer's Annual is the annual collection from ProFantasy'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 multiple angles. And the Tome of Ultimate Mapping comprises 760 pages suitable for novices and experts, packed with guidance and instructions covering cartography techniques.

However, it's clearly an even better deal for map-making newbies considering you even get introductory guides to help you get started. The sole limitation is that while 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. For this one, 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. Package customization options appear near the page top, but you can also select any amount for a donation on the right side of the page. There's also an donation allocation menu immediately below, allowing you to adjust how much of your donation goes to Humble, Profantasy, and Save the Children.
