Amazing $30 Map-Making Software Bundle Is a Virtual Tabletop GM's Dream
Following a short availability earlier this year, this cartography software collection has returned with an encore available until Dec. 2. Hailed as an extensive collection of mapping tools developed by a specialized software company throughout their history, the complete package carries a value of more than thirteen hundred dollars. Additionally, there exist multiple package options available here.
The Main Attraction
The standout feature is certainly permanent access for Campaign Cartographer 3+, a professional-grade cartography program that can be used to create everything from epic fantasy landscapes, smaller regional maps, city maps, and most notably, dungeon and tabletop battle maps.
An imaginative landscape chart generated in Campaign Cartographer 3+.
Package Levels
Entry Level
The cheapest bundle tier, at a minimum cost of $1, includes only four from the thirty-nine available products: Fantasy Overland Symbol Collection, Token Treasury: Monsters 1, Source Maps: Castles!, and Source Maps: Cities!. This one's only for cartographers who already have CC3+, but it does offer new fantasy symbol styles for overworld maps, 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 fully mapped cities, and more than 70 urban floorplans.
Mid-Range Option
The eight-item bundle starting at fifteen dollars is where things get more interesting through inclusion of a lifetime CC3+ license, Cartographer's Annual Vol 1, Ultimate Mapping Guidebook, 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 various other tools. Isometric Cities lets you present urban areas in 3D perspective using angled views from multiple angles. And the Tome of Ultimate Mapping is a 760-page for beginners and "power users" alike, packed with guidance and instructions for the map-making process.
Full Package
For a minimum of $30, the comprehensive package includes all the following:
- Advanced Terrain Generator
- Dungeon Designer 3
- Urban Planning Software
- Cosmographer 3
- Viewpoint Enhancement

- Character Design Module

- Token Treasury: Monsters 1
- Source Maps: Castles!
- Metropolitan Source Maps
Every volume from the Annual series are included here, plus numerous additional tools and content enabling creators to craft complete solar systems, or focus exclusively on traditional fantasy world-building: combat arenas, underground complexes, cities, and continents from almost any perspective. Users can also create character portraits. For $30 as opposed to $15, the full bundle offers tremendous value, particularly for mappers with temporary CC3+ access and want to upgrade to lifetime. However, it's clearly more advantageous for map-making newbies considering you even get the beginners' tutorials to facilitate learning. The one caveat here is that while you can redeem the deal across platforms, the software is only usable on Windows.
Charitable Component
Similar to previous bundles, part of every purchase goes to benefit a nonprofit. For this one, 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. Package customization options appear near the page top, but you can also select their donation amount on the right side of the page. Additionally available is an donation allocation menu immediately below, allowing you to adjust how much of your donation allocated between the platform, developer, and charity.
