Fantastic $30 Map-Making Humble Bundle Represents a Online Gaming Game Master's Fantasy
Following a brief run back in April, this cartography software collection has returned with an encore that lasts until Dec. 2. Hailed as a "treasure trove of assets and apps" created by a specialized software company over the years, the complete package is valued at over $1,300. And there are multiple package options offered in this deal.
The Main Attraction
The standout feature is certainly a lifetime license to the CC3+ software, an industry-standard cartography program which enables users to generate various types including fantasy overworld maps, smaller regional maps, city maps, and, perhaps most importantly, dungeon and tabletop battle maps.
An imaginative landscape chart created using the CC3+ software platform.
Package Levels
Entry Level
The cheapest bundle tier, starting at just one dollar, features merely four of the 39 total items: Symbol Set 1: Fantasy Overland, Token Treasury: Monsters 1, Castle Source Maps, Urban Source Maps. This one's only for cartographers who already have CC3+, but it does offer fresh fantasy design elements for overworld maps, more than 750 monster tokens compatible with online gaming platforms, more than two dozen top-down castle layouts including hundreds of map markers, eight fully mapped cities, and more than 70 urban floorplans.
Mid-Range Option
The eight-product collection starting at fifteen dollars offers enhanced value through inclusion of permanent CC3+ access, the first Annual volume, Ultimate Mapping Guidebook, and Symbol Set 6: Isometric Cities. The Annual represents the yearly bundle from the company's ongoing subscription program featuring multiple CC3+ enhancements like map collections and various other tools. The Isometric Cities enables present urban areas in 3D perspective using angled views from all sides. And the Tome of Ultimate Mapping comprises 760 pages suitable for novices and experts, full of tips and tutorials covering cartography techniques.
Complete Collection
Starting at thirty dollars, the 39-item bundle includes all the following:
- Fractal Terrains 3+
- Dungeon Designer 3
- City Designer 3
- Cosmographer 3
- Perspectives 3
- Dioramas 3
- Character Artist 3

All 17 volumes of Cartographer's Annual come with this bundle, alongside a slew of other resource and asset packs that can help users craft complete solar systems, or just go all-in on classic fantasy realm creation: battle maps, dungeons, urban centers, and land masses from almost any perspective. You can even design character portraits. For $30 as opposed to $15, the complete collection is so worth it, especially for cartographers who have only the annual CC3+ license and want to upgrade to lifetime. But it's obviously an even better deal for map-making newbies considering you even get the beginners' tutorials to facilitate learning. The one caveat here is that while the purchase is available across platforms, the applications only function on Windows.
Charitable Component
As with other Humble Bundles, a portion of each sale 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.

There's also an "Adjust Donation" drop-down immediately below, allowing you to adjust the distribution percentage goes to Humble, Profantasy, and Save the Children.
