Fantastic $30 Cartography Software Bundle Is a Online Gaming Game Master's Fantasy
Following a short availability back in April, the Map Making Mega Bundle has returned for a limited time that lasts through early December. Described as an extensive collection of mapping tools developed by ProFantasy Software over the years, the complete package is valued at more than thirteen hundred dollars. Additionally, there exist multiple package options offered in this deal.
Primary Feature
The standout feature is certainly permanent access to the CC3+ software, a professional-grade cartography program which enables users to generate various types including epic fantasy landscapes, smaller regional maps, urban layouts, and, perhaps most importantly, dungeon and tabletop battle maps.
An imaginative landscape chart generated in the CC3+ software platform.
Package Levels

Intermediate Package
The eight-item bundle starting at fifteen dollars offers enhanced value by adding in a lifetime CC3+ license, the first Annual volume, Tome of Ultimate Mapping, Isometric Cities Symbol Pack. The Annual represents the annual collection from ProFantasy's long-running monthly subscription service which includes a variety CC3+ add-ons like map collections and various other tools.
