Amazing $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 with an encore available through early December. Described as an extensive collection of mapping tools created by a specialized software company over the years, the complete package is valued at over $1,300. And there are multiple package options available here.

The Main Attraction

The standout feature is definitely permanent access for Campaign Cartographer 3+, a professional-grade mapping application that can be used to create everything from fantasy overworld maps, detailed regional charts, city maps, and, perhaps most importantly, dungeon and tabletop battle maps.

A regional fantasy map created using the CC3+ software platform.

Package Levels

Entry Level

The most affordable option, starting at just one dollar, includes only four of the 39 total items: Fantasy Overland Symbol Collection, Monster Token Pack 1, Source Maps: Castles!, Urban Source Maps. This package suits cartographers who already have CC3+, yet it provides new fantasy symbol styles for overworld maps, more than 750 monster tokens compatible with online gaming platforms, more than two dozen aerial castle designs with 470 associated map tokens, eight complete urban centers, plus seventy-plus building interiors.

Mid-Range Option

The eight-item bundle for at least $15 offers enhanced value through inclusion of permanent CC3+ access, the first Annual volume, Tome of Ultimate Mapping, and Symbol Set 6: Isometric Cities. The Annual represents the annual collection from the company's long-running monthly subscription service which includes multiple CC3+ enhancements like map collections and additional utilities. Isometric Cities lets you present urban areas in 3D perspective using angled views from all sides. Meanwhile, the Mapping Tome is a 760-page 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 contains these components:

• Advanced Terrain Generator
• Dungeon Creation Tool
• Urban Planning Software
• Cosmographer 3
• Viewpoint Enhancement
• Dioramas 3
• Character Artist 3
• Symbol Set 2: Fantasy Floorplans
• Contemporary Design Pack
• Schley Dungeon Collection
• Symbol Set 5: Cities of Schley
• Monster Token Collection 2
• Source Maps: Temples, Tombs and Catacombs
• World War 2 Interactive Atlas
• World Creation Guide
• Cartographer’s Annual Vol 1-17
• Permanent CC3+ Access
• Symbol Set 6: Isometric Cities
• 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, alongside a slew of other resource and asset packs enabling creators to craft complete solar systems, or just go all-in on classic fantasy realm creation: battle maps, dungeons, urban centers, and continents in multiple viewpoints. Users can also create character illustrations. At thirty versus fifteen dollars, 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 more advantageous for cartography beginners considering you even get the beginners' tutorials to help you get started. The sole limitation though you can redeem the deal across platforms, the software is only usable on Windows.

Charitable Component

Similar to previous bundles, a portion of each sale supports charitable organizations. In this instance, 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. The Bundle Filters option is toward the top of the page, though users may also choose any amount for a donation on the right side of the page. There's also an donation allocation menu just below that, enabling adjustment of how much of your donation allocated between the platform, developer, and charity.
