The German role-playing, games and fantasy online magazine Teilzeithelden (“Part-time heroes”) has reviewed Campaign Cartographer 3+.
“For the vast majority of users, Dioramas 3 will not be the main reason that they buy CC3+ for. Yet, for those who cannot opt for the ridiculously expensive plastic or resin miniature terrain it is an absolute game-changer, welcoming them to real 3D landscapes. Just make sure that both your printer and your fingers are nimble enough.”
Prolific game reviewer Antonios S. has been busy checking out more ProFantasy and posting his reviews on RPG.net. Check out his impressions of:
I’m usually quite impressed with myself whenever I finish making a map in the program.
Matt Carlson gives a short review of CC3+ (together with other software resources for RPGs) on GamerDad.
Old Guy Gaming (Mike Summers) has a review of Fractal Terrains 3.
He’s also written a useful tutorial on how to create dungeon geomorphs with CC, and has lots of other useful cartographic info on his site.
Fractal Terrains is so easy to use that you can literally install it and have an amazing map in a matter of minutes.
There’s a review of CC3 over on PlayDevil.com 9/10.
Below is the first map that I made using the software, and it only took me about 20 minutes- a similar drawing in Photoshop from scratch would have taken me several hours!
“…for a budding cartographer there is nothing else quite like it out there. Once you have broken into the software, creating a good standard of map becomes not only easy, but a pleasure, as you behold your beautiful creations, which can be made quickly and simply.”
