Amazing $30 Map-Making Humble Bundle Represents a Virtual Tabletop GM's Dream
After a brief run earlier this year, the Map Making Mega Bundle is back with an encore available through early December. Hailed as an extensive collection of mapping tools created by ProFantasy Software throughout their history, the entire collection is valued at more than thirteen hundred dollars. Additionally, there exist multiple package options offered in this deal.
The Main Attraction
The standout feature is certainly permanent access to the CC3+ software, an industry-standard cartography program which enables users to generate various types including epic fantasy landscapes, detailed regional charts, urban layouts, and, perhaps most importantly, tactical combat environments.
An imaginative landscape chart generated in Campaign Cartographer 3+.

Intermediate Package
The eight-item bundle for at least $15 is where things get more interesting by adding in permanent CC3+ access, the first Annual volume, Ultimate Mapping Guidebook, and Symbol Set 6: Isometric Cities.
