As tabletop gamers, we are generally obsessed with maps to some extent. I love to draw maps for my fantasy campaigns, but I truly suck at it. With a bit of practice - and the Map Making Mega Bundle over at Humble Bundle by ProFantasy, your maps won't suck ;)
30 bucks is all in, but 15 does give you the core software and some fun widgets to use with it.
It's beginning to feel like Christmas - because every Christmas, we get a Campaign Cartographer 3+ Bundle over at Humble Bundle. If you want it, grab it at the $30 bundle level. It is simply the best value of the lot.
Design maps for your own tabletop campaigns, fantasy settings, and more! This bundle includes everything you need to create stunning, print-worthy works of art that will bring your worlds to life. Get powerful software like Campaign Cartographer 3+ (including a Lifetime License), City Designer 3, Dungeon Designer 3, Tome of Ultimate Mapping, and more. Unlock a treasury that will take your tabletop games and fantasy stories to the next level, and help support Save the Children with your purchase.
Campaign Cartographer is pretty much the go-to mapping program for RPGs, and the Maps Extravaganza Revisited Bundle is an amazing value for CC3+.
