What is ProFantasy Software and what does it offer?
Updated
ProFantasy Software is a fantasy map-making software company aimed at gamers, writers, and world-builders. Its core product is Campaign Cartographer (CC3+), a mapping tool extended by add-ons that let you build worlds, dungeons, cities, and other game-ready maps. If you run tabletop campaigns, write fantasy fiction, or enjoy world-building as a hobby, this is the kind of toolset the company targets. The site also backs the software with tutorial videos, community map projects, and free monthly content.
What ProFantasy actually sells
The company describes itself as a pioneer in fantasy map-making software for gamers, writers, and world-builders. Its products are built around Campaign Cartographer and its add-ons, which together cover different map types and styles.
The store is organized around a few entry points:
- Top Three Starter Bundle — the site calls this its best-seller and "the perfect starting point for new cartographers." It combines the most popular titles into one discounted bundle for building worlds, dungeons, cities, and more.
- Symbol Set 6 — the latest symbol set, created by fantasy artist Mike Schley, focused on isometric cityscapes. It's positioned for visualizing elevation, perspective, and layout in city designs.
- Bundles for every budget — the site groups products into bundles and provides a comparison table so you can check contents and savings at a glance. The World Builder bundle adds Fractal Terrains, among other things.
If you only need one map style, individual titles and symbol sets exist; if you want broad coverage, the bundles are the intended path.
Who it's for
The stated audience is three overlapping groups:
| User type | Typical need |
|---|---|
| Tabletop gamers | Campaign worlds, dungeons, cities, battle-ready maps |
| Writers | Consistent geography and settings for fiction |
| World-builders | Detailed, layered maps from world down to dungeon level |
The common thread is that you want to produce maps yourself rather than commission or hand-draw them.
Resources beyond the software
Buying the software isn't the only thing on offer. ProFantasy maintains a set of supporting resources:
- Tutorial videos — the ProFantasy YouTube channel is updated weekly and hosts more than 200 tutorial videos covering varied map styles and scenarios.
- Free monthly content — free symbols for Campaign Cartographer 3+ released every month.
- Project Nibirum — a collaborative community atlas by Remy Monsen and the CC community, with more than 1,200 linked maps spanning world to dungeon level, downloadable as CC3+ files or high-resolution PNGs.
- Maps of the Month — a monthly selection of user-created maps for inspiration, with an option to submit your own.
- Community channels — a user forum for tips and map sharing, plus an active independent Facebook group for fans and users.
These matter if you're deciding whether to commit: the tutorial library and free monthly symbols lower the cost of learning the tool, and the community atlas gives you ready-made reference material.
Buying and guarantees
Purchases are made through the online store with instant download, so you can start designing immediately. The site states two guarantees:
- A 14-day satisfaction guarantee
- A 10-year download promise
It also points to information about payment security. Note that the available material doesn't list specific prices or payment platforms, so check the store pages directly for current pricing and accepted payment methods.
How to decide
- New to map-making and want one purchase — the Top Three Starter Bundle is the site's recommended entry point.
- Focused on city maps with a strong visual style — Symbol Set 6 is the relevant product.
- Want the widest coverage, including terrain generation — look at the World Builder bundle and the full bundle comparison table.
- Not ready to buy — the free monthly symbols, 200+ tutorial videos, and downloadable community atlas let you evaluate the ecosystem first.
The practical next step is to open the store, compare the bundle table against the map types you actually need, and check the current price and payment details there.
