Incredible $30 Cartography Humble Bundle Represents a Virtual Tabletop Game Master's Fantasy
After a brief run back in April, the Map Making Mega Bundle is back for a limited time that lasts through early December. Hailed as a "treasure trove of assets and apps" developed by a specialized software company throughout their history, the complete package carries a value of over $1,300. Additionally, there exist multiple package options available here.
Primary Feature
The big draw is definitely a lifetime license for Campaign Cartographer 3+, a professional-grade cartography program that can be used to generate various types including fantasy overworld maps, detailed regional charts, city maps, and, perhaps most importantly, dungeon and tabletop battle maps.
A regional fantasy map generated in the CC3+ software platform.

Philanthropic Aspect
As with other Humble Bundles, a portion of each sale supports charitable organizations. For this one, the beneficiary is Save the Children, an organization founded by Eglantyne Jebb in 1919 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 in the right-hand section. There's also an "Adjust Donation" drop-down just below that, allowing you to adjust how much of your donation allocated between the platform, developer, and charity.
