The May issue of the Cartographer’s Annual 2025 is now available. This month brings you a new overland style, by yours truly. I’ve been inspired to sit down with pencil and inks, create some hand-drawn symbols and then create a fresh new style from them. In addition to giving you a nice and easy-to-use overland style, it will allow me to show the whole process of creating and using your own artwork in CC3+. I will also be able to easily expand the style with additional symbols in the future.
Humble Bundle has just extended the current super-bundle of our software, so there’s still a chance for you to grab this amazing offer of CC3+, FT3+, all of the add-ons and symbol sets, as well as almost all of the Annuals for an unprecedented low price.
If you were waiting to jump into CC3+, this is a great opportunity to get it at an awesome price. Even if you already own CC3+, this can be well worth it to fill out your selection of add-ons. Part of the cost goes toward charity, Save the Children.
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:

We’re back on schedule with the March monthly symbols! We are climbing up towards the light this month, instead of descending of the dark of the dungeon. Height differences are always hard to depict on a top down map, so Mike has produced symbols that help with that. The “Outdoor Heights” symbol pack contains cliff edges, slopes, and a variety of helpful tools to navigate them, from rope ladders to climbing poles.
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 is included in the one download.
You can always check the available monthly content on our dedicated page.
