Fantastic $30 Map-Making Software Bundle Is a Online Gaming GM's Dream
Following a brief run earlier this year, this cartography software collection is back with an encore available until Dec. 2. Hailed as an extensive collection of mapping tools created by ProFantasy Software throughout their history, the complete package carries a value of over $1,300. And there are three different bundles offered in this deal.
Primary Feature
The big draw is certainly permanent access for Campaign Cartographer 3+, an industry-standard mapping application which enables users to create everything from fantasy overworld maps, smaller regional maps, urban layouts, and, perhaps most importantly, tactical combat environments.
An imaginative landscape chart created using Campaign Cartographer 3+.
Package Levels
Entry Level
The most affordable option, at a minimum cost of $1, features merely four from the thirty-nine available products: Fantasy Overland Symbol Collection, Monster Token Pack 1, Source Maps: Castles!, Urban Source Maps. This one's only for existing CC3+ users, yet it provides new fantasy symbol styles for landscape mapping, more than 750 monster tokens for use in virtual tabletops, over twenty-five 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 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. Cartographer's Annual is the yearly bundle from ProFantasy's long-running monthly subscription service featuring multiple CC3+ enhancements like map collections and various other tools. Isometric Cities lets you present urban areas in 3D perspective with isometric views from multiple angles. And the Tome of Ultimate Mapping comprises 760 pages suitable for novices and experts, packed with guidance and instructions for the map-making process.
Complete Collection
For a minimum of $30, the 39-item bundle includes all the following:
- Advanced Terrain Generator
- Dungeon Creation Tool
- Urban Planning Software
- Cosmic Mapping System
- Viewpoint Enhancement
- Dioramas 3
- Character Design Module
- Fantasy Interior Symbols
- Symbol Set 3: Modern
- Schley Dungeon Collection
- Symbol Set 5: Cities of Schley
- Token Treasury: Monsters 2
- Source Maps: Temples, Tombs and Catacombs
- Historical War Maps
- World Creation Guide
- Annual Volumes 1-17
- Permanent CC3+ Access
- Symbol Set 6: Isometric Cities
- Comprehensive Mapping Guide
- Fantasy Landscape Symbols
- Monster Token Set 1
- Fortress Source Maps
- Metropolitan Source Maps
All 17 volumes from the Annual series come with this bundle, alongside a slew of other resource and asset packs enabling creators to craft complete solar systems, or focus exclusively on traditional fantasy world-building: battle maps, underground complexes, cities, and continents from almost any perspective. You can even design character illustrations. For $30 as opposed to $15, the full bundle is so worth it, particularly for mappers who have only the annual CC3+ license and want to upgrade to lifetime. However, it's clearly an even better deal for map-making newbies considering you even get the beginners' tutorials to facilitate learning. The sole limitation is that while you can redeem the deal across platforms, the software is only usable with Windows systems.
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 through education, health care, and emergency relief. Package customization options appear near the page top, but you can also select any amount for a donation on the right side of the page. Additionally available is an "Adjust Donation" drop-down immediately below, allowing you to adjust how much of your donation allocated between the platform, developer, and charity.
