Amazing $30 Map-Making Humble Bundle Represents a Online Gaming Game Master's Fantasy
After a brief run back in April, the Map Making Mega Bundle has returned with an encore available through early December. Described as a "treasure trove of assets and apps" created by ProFantasy Software throughout their history, the entire collection is valued at over $1,300. Additionally, there exist multiple package options offered in this deal.
Primary Feature
The big draw is certainly a lifetime license for Campaign Cartographer 3+, a professional-grade cartography program 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+.
Package Levels
Entry Level
The most affordable option, at a minimum cost of $1, includes only four from the thirty-nine available products: Fantasy Overland Symbol Collection, Monster Token Pack 1, Castle Source Maps, and Source Maps: Cities!. This one's only for cartographers who already have CC3+, yet it provides new fantasy symbol styles for overworld maps, more than 750 monster tokens for use in virtual tabletops, more than two dozen aerial castle designs 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, Cartographer's Annual Vol 1, Ultimate Mapping Guidebook, and Symbol Set 6: Isometric Cities. The Annual represents the yearly bundle from the company's long-running monthly subscription service which includes multiple CC3+ enhancements including map packs and various other tools. Isometric Cities lets you 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, full of tips and tutorials covering cartography techniques.
Full Package
Starting at thirty dollars, the 39-item bundle contains these components:
- Fractal Terrains 3+
- Dungeon Creation Tool
- City Designer 3
- Cosmographer 3
- Perspectives 3
- Scene Builder
- Character Design Module
- Fantasy Interior Symbols
- Contemporary Design Pack
- Schley Dungeon Collection
- Symbol Set 5: Cities of Schley
- Monster Token Collection 2
- Religious Structure Maps
- World War 2 Interactive Atlas
- World Builder’s Compendium
- Cartographer’s Annual Vol 1-17
- Campaign Cartographer 3+ (Lifetime License)
- Symbol Set 6: Isometric Cities
- Tome of Ultimate Mapping
- Fantasy Landscape Symbols
- Monster Token Set 1
- Source Maps: Castles!
- Metropolitan Source Maps
Every volume from the Annual series are included here, alongside a slew of other resource and asset packs that can help users design entire planets or galaxies, or just go all-in on classic fantasy realm creation: combat arenas, underground complexes, urban centers, and continents in multiple viewpoints. Users can also create character portraits. For $30 as opposed to $15, the complete collection offers tremendous value, particularly for mappers who have only the annual CC3+ license and want to upgrade to lifetime. But it's obviously more advantageous for map-making newbies considering you even get introductory guides to facilitate learning. The one caveat here is that while the purchase is available on any platform, the software is only usable on Windows.
Philanthropic Aspect
Similar to previous bundles, a portion of each sale goes to benefit a nonprofit. In this instance, that's 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. The Bundle Filters option appear near the page top, but you can also select their donation amount on the right side of the page. Additionally available is an "Adjust Donation" drop-down immediately below, allowing you to adjust the distribution percentage allocated between the platform, developer, and charity.
