Welcome dear Cartographers for another great selection of user maps from our community! All of these were posted on the Profantasy forum our the CC3+ group on Facebook.

Now, I’m quite smug to see that people have been been using the new Hand-drawn Fantasy style quite a bit, not least among them our extremely prolifc community member Ricko Hasche.

If you’ve missed any of the live mapping sessions we do on YouTube most weeks, showcasing a certain style or set of tools in CC3+, you’ll find them archived and organized into playlists on YouTube. Here are the most recent ones:

2025-07 Graveyard
The next set of free monthly symbols is here and this time Mike Schley takes you to the graveyard … hopefully not to bury you, but investigate some strange goings on. Who dug that grave and why did they leave the monstrous skeleton they chucked in there unburied? What disturbed their work? 20 new symbols let you populate a graveyard with gothic tombstones, pedestals and statues, as well as opened graves and their accompaning tools and dirt piles.

Note that the example maps included with this free content make use of Symbol Set 4 to showcase the symbols in proper surroundings. If you don’t have SS4 installed, you won’t see these correctly, but you can still use the symbols on other maps. Symbol Set 4 – Dungeons of Schley is available for purchase here.

To download the free content go to your registration page and on the Downloads tab, click the download button for Campaign Cartographer 3 Plus. Mike’s new symbols are listed there. All the content of year (up to July 2025) is included in the one download.

You can always check the available monthly content on our dedicated page.

CA223 Northlands
The July issue of the Cartographer’s Annual 2025 is now available, and with it the work of a new map-maker among our contributors. We found Prajyot Kumar‘s map work very interesting and asked him to create a style for CC3+. Here is the result, a vibrant and colorful overland style, well-suited to mapping individual regions of a fantasy world – hence the name.

The July issue is now available for all subscribers from their registration page. If you haven’t subscribed to the Annual 2025 yet, you can do so here.

News

Mike Schley created another set of dungeon symbols for the free monthly content and your pleasure. This month the set adds lots of paraphernalia that you might find in the study of a “man of science”, like an astrolabe, brushes and an easel, a globe of the world and a telescope. And not to forget a staff and wizard’s hat!

Note that the example maps included with this free content make use of Symbol Set 4 to showcase the symbols in proper surroundings. If you don’t have SS4 installed, you won’t see these correctly, but you can still use the symbols on other maps. Symbol Set 4 – Dungeons of Schley is available for purchase here.

To download the free content go to your registration page and on the Downloads tab, click the download button for Campaign Cartographer 3 Plus. Mike’s new symbols are listed there. All the content of year (up to June 2025) is included in the one download.
