Amazing $30 Map-Making Software Bundle Represents a Virtual Tabletop GM's Dream

Following a short availability earlier this year, the Map Making Mega Bundle has returned with an encore that lasts until Dec. 2. Hailed as an extensive collection of mapping tools created by ProFantasy Software throughout their history, the complete package is valued at more than thirteen hundred dollars. Additionally, there exist multiple package options available here.

Primary Feature

The standout feature is definitely permanent access to the CC3+ software, an industry-standard cartography program that can be used to generate various types including epic fantasy landscapes, detailed regional charts, urban layouts, and most notably, dungeon and tabletop battle maps.

An imaginative landscape chart generated in Campaign Cartographer 3+.

You can even design 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.

The one caveat here though you can redeem the deal on any platform, the applications only function on Windows.

Philanthropic Aspect

As with other Humble Bundles, part of every purchase supports charitable organizations. In this instance, the beneficiary is 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, but you can also select any amount for a donation on the right side of the page. Additionally available is an donation allocation menu just below that, allowing you to adjust how much of your donation allocated between the platform, developer, and charity.
