Incredible $30 Cartography Software Bundle Represents a Virtual Tabletop GM's Dream
After a short availability earlier this year, this cartography software collection has returned for a limited time available until Dec. 2. Hailed as a "treasure trove of assets and apps" created by a specialized software company over the years, the entire collection carries a value of over $1,300. Additionally, there exist three different bundles offered in this deal.
Primary Feature
The standout feature is definitely a lifetime license for Campaign Cartographer 3+, a professional-grade mapping application which enables users to generate various types including fantasy overworld maps, smaller regional maps, city maps, and most notably, dungeon and tabletop battle maps.
An imaginative landscape chart generated in Campaign Cartographer 3+.
Bundle Tiers
Basic Package
The most affordable option, at a minimum cost of $1, features merely four of the 39 total items: Symbol Set 1: Fantasy Overland, Monster Token Pack 1, Castle Source Maps, Urban Source Maps. This package suits existing CC3+ users, yet it provides fresh fantasy design elements for landscape mapping, more than 750 monster tokens compatible with online gaming platforms, more than two dozen aerial castle designs with 470 associated map tokens, eight fully mapped cities, and more than 70 urban floorplans.
Intermediate Package
The eight-product collection for at least $15 offers enhanced value by adding in a lifetime CC3+ license, Cartographer's Annual Vol 1, Ultimate Mapping Guidebook, and Symbol Set 6: Isometric Cities. The Annual represents the annual collection from ProFantasy's long-running monthly subscription service featuring multiple CC3+ enhancements including map packs and various other tools. Isometric Cities lets you present urban areas in 3D perspective with isometric views from all sides. 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
Starting at thirty dollars, the comprehensive package includes all the following:
- Fractal Terrains 3+
- Dungeon Designer 3
- City Designer 3
- Cosmic Mapping System
- Perspectives 3
- Dioramas 3
- Character Artist 3
- Fantasy Interior Symbols
- Contemporary Design Pack
- Symbol Set 4: Dungeons of Schley
- Symbol Set 5: Cities of Schley
- Monster Token Collection 2

- World Creation Guide
- Annual Volumes 1-17
- Permanent CC3+ Access
- 3D City Symbols
- Comprehensive Mapping Guide
- Fantasy Landscape Symbols
- 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 that can help users design entire planets or galaxies, or focus exclusively on traditional fantasy world-building: battle maps, dungeons, cities, and continents in multiple viewpoints. You can even design character portraits. For $30 as opposed to $15, the full bundle offers tremendous value, particularly for mappers with temporary CC3+ access seeking permanent licensing. However, it's clearly more advantageous for map-making newbies since it includes the beginners' tutorials to facilitate learning. The one caveat here is that while the purchase is available on any platform, the applications only function on Windows.
Philanthropic Aspect
As with other Humble Bundles, part of every purchase goes to benefit a nonprofit. 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 through education, health care, and emergency relief. The Bundle Filters option appear near the page top, though users may also choose their donation amount on the right side of the page. There's also an "Adjust Donation" drop-down just below that, allowing you to adjust how much of your donation goes to Humble, Profantasy, and Save the Children.
