Amazing $30 Map-Making Humble Bundle Represents a Virtual Tabletop Game Master's Fantasy
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 ProFantasy Software throughout their history, the entire collection carries a value of more than thirteen hundred dollars. And there are multiple package options offered in this deal.
Primary Feature
The standout feature is definitely permanent access to the CC3+ software, a professional-grade cartography program that can be used to generate various types including epic fantasy landscapes, detailed regional charts, city maps, and, perhaps most importantly, tactical combat environments.

Bundle Tiers
Entry Level
The most affordable option, starting at just one dollar, features merely four from the thirty-nine available products: Fantasy Overland Symbol Collection, Monster Token Pack 1, Castle Source Maps, Urban Source Maps. This one's only for existing CC3+ users, yet it provides new fantasy symbol styles for landscape mapping, over seven hundred fifty creature tokens for use in virtual tabletops, more than two dozen top-down castle layouts with 470 associated map tokens, eight complete urban centers, plus seventy-plus building interiors.
Intermediate Package
The eight-item bundle for at least $15 offers enhanced value through inclusion of a lifetime CC3+ license, the first Annual volume, Ultimate Mapping Guidebook, and Symbol Set 6: Isometric Cities. The Annual represents the yearly bundle from ProFantasy's ongoing subscription program which includes multiple CC3+ enhancements like map collections and various other tools. Isometric Cities lets you present urban areas in 3D perspective using angled views from multiple angles. Meanwhile, the Mapping Tome is a 760-page suitable for novices and experts, packed with guidance and instructions covering cartography techniques.
Complete Collection
For a minimum of $30, the 39-item bundle contains these components:
- Advanced Terrain Generator
- Dungeon Designer 3
- City Designer 3
- Cosmic Mapping System
- Viewpoint Enhancement
- Dioramas 3
- Character Artist 3
- Fantasy Interior Symbols
- Symbol Set 3: Modern

- Comprehensive Mapping Guide
- Symbol Set 1: Fantasy Overland
- Token Treasury: Monsters 1
- Fortress Source Maps
- Source Maps: Cities!
All 17 volumes of Cartographer's Annual come with this bundle, plus numerous additional tools and content that can help users design entire planets or galaxies, or just go all-in on traditional fantasy world-building: battle maps, underground complexes, urban centers, and land masses from almost any perspective. You can even design character illustrations. For $30 as opposed to $15, the complete collection is so worth it, particularly for mappers with temporary CC3+ access seeking permanent licensing. But it's obviously more advantageous for map-making newbies considering you even get the beginners' tutorials to facilitate learning. The one caveat here though you can redeem the deal on any platform, the software is only usable on Windows.
Philanthropic Aspect
As with other Humble Bundles, a portion of each sale goes to benefit a nonprofit. In this instance, that's Save the Children, established in 1919 by Eglantyne Jebb 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 donation allocation menu just below that, allowing you to adjust the distribution percentage allocated between the platform, developer, and charity.
