Incredible $30 Map-Making Humble Bundle Is a Online Gaming Game Master's Fantasy
After a short availability earlier this year, the Map Making Mega Bundle is back with an encore available until Dec. 2. Hailed as a "treasure trove of assets and apps" developed by ProFantasy Software over the years, the entire collection carries a value of over $1,300. And there are three different bundles available here.
Primary Feature
The big draw is certainly permanent access to the CC3+ software, an industry-standard cartography program which enables users to create everything from epic fantasy landscapes, detailed regional charts, urban layouts, and, perhaps most importantly, dungeon and tabletop battle maps.
An imaginative landscape chart generated in the CC3+ software platform.
Bundle Tiers
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, Monster Token Pack 1, Castle Source Maps, and Source Maps: Cities!. This package suits existing CC3+ users, but it does offer fresh fantasy design elements for overworld maps, more than 750 monster tokens for use in virtual tabletops, 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 for at least $15 is where things get more interesting through inclusion of 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 ProFantasy's ongoing subscription program featuring multiple CC3+ enhancements like map collections and additional utilities. The Isometric Cities enables display cities with an extra dimension using angled views from multiple angles. And the Tome of Ultimate Mapping comprises 760 pages for beginners and "power users" alike, packed with guidance and instructions for the map-making process.
Complete Collection
For a minimum of $30, the comprehensive package includes all the following:
- Advanced Terrain Generator
- Dungeon Designer 3
- Urban Planning Software
- Cosmographer 3
- Perspectives 3
- Scene Builder
- Character Design Module
- Symbol Set 2: Fantasy Floorplans
- Symbol Set 3: Modern
- Schley Dungeon Collection
- Schley Urban Pack
- Token Treasury: Monsters 2
- Religious Structure Maps
- Historical War Maps
- World Builder’s Compendium
- Cartographer’s Annual Vol 1-17
- Campaign Cartographer 3+ (Lifetime License)
- 3D City Symbols
- Comprehensive Mapping Guide
- Fantasy Landscape Symbols
- Monster Token Set 1
- Source Maps: Castles!
- Metropolitan Source Maps
All 17 volumes of Cartographer's Annual come with this bundle, plus numerous additional tools and content that can help users design entire planets or galaxies, or just go all-in on classic fantasy realm creation: battle maps, underground complexes, urban centers, and land masses from almost any perspective. Users can also create character portraits. For $30 as opposed to $15, the full bundle offers tremendous value, especially for cartographers who have only the annual CC3+ license 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 is that while the purchase is available on any platform, the applications only function on Windows.
Philanthropic Aspect
Similar to previous bundles, part of every purchase supports charitable organizations. For this one, the beneficiary is Save the Children, an organization founded by Eglantyne Jebb in 1919 focused on improving the lives of children worldwide via educational programs, medical services, and crisis response. Package customization options is toward the top of the page, though users may also choose their donation amount in the right-hand section. There's also an donation allocation menu immediately below, enabling adjustment of how much of your donation allocated between the platform, developer, and charity.
