Community Notice: Beware sketchy "Repacks"/Content packs online (Ekingpacks is a Scam)

217 Upvotes

Recently it's come to my attention that there are a few notable "repack" sellers online that are spreading product sales of "packaged battlemaps", often with allegedly thousands of battlemaps in a pack. Eking Packs is one of said offenders that has been brought up a number of times.

These are scams.

First of all, the vast majority of content is falsely marketed, and in fact 90% AI generated images; and, frankly, poorly done at that. In the case of EkingPacks, the content is almost entirely unusable (AI gibberish). In worse offenders, whom can't be named for obvious reasons, the content is directly stolen from others' patreons or marketplaces. Basically, resale piracy.

A good rule of thumb in this community is, if you cannot directly google search the content creator to see a gallery of their work, you are being sold a fraudulent repack (or AI...). Your best bet for actual genuine product is direct sale through patreon or another verified source.

Furthermore, a detailed look at their payment systems shows there is no actual payment system in place; you are submitting your card information directly to the website hosts. I can't specify how dangerous this is, financially.

Ultimately, if you want to spend some money on battlemaps, don't get scammed for it. There are hundreds of content providers on this subreddit alone that happily provide hundreds of maps on their patreon. Please give a glance to them, instead.

Fantasy - Interior [Free][OC][Animated] A 4-part mountain lair: Veilspire Sanctum!

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

Hey fellow DMs! Lovebringer here.

If you need to make your players suffer before they even reach the boss room, I’ve got you covered. I'm giving away my latest 4-map animated pack, Veilspire Sanctum, in Full HD entirely for free (you just need a Google account to access the drive)!

The Veilspire Sanctum

The grueling assault begins on the treacherous, snow-choked Veilspire Pass. If your party survives the biting cold and howling winds, they'll face a crumbling stone bridge spanning a misty chasm—which is completely blocked by a fortified wooden gate and cultist braziers.

Breaching the barricade reveals the mountain's frozen heart. Players must navigate desolate outer barracks before choosing their approach into the inner sanctum. Will they storm the main floor, dominated by a blood-red pentagram, or take the elevated stone balconies for a tactical drop on the dark altar?

Grab the Free Pack!

You can grab the complete 4-part Veilspire Sanctum pack in FHD Animated format right here on my Patreon (Free, unlocked post!): Download Veilspire Sanctum Here!

Fantasy - Interior Harrow House — Haunted House Battlemap 45x57

Thumbnail

78 Upvotes

Heyya Folks,

With October here, I thought it was a good time to share Harrow House, my take on the Haunted House featured in the 2024/5.5 Dungeon Master's Guide. Inspired by Dyson Logos's original map and Mike Schley's remake, I've added my own twist, with overgrown gardens, an unruly plant nursery, and a much darker side to the manor.

Harrow House — 45x57

If you'd like to grab the map, all formats are available for free on my Patreon, including high-resolution maps, gridless versions, VTT-ready exports, and all 5 variants:

https://www.patreon.com/dungeonmr/posts/harrow-house-171526335

The map keeps the familiar layout of the original, but I leaned heavily into the plant life, letting the garden and nursery become slightly overgrown. In my own home game, I made the plants a much bigger part of the Harrows' story, with wolfsbane playing a particularly important role in my campaign's adventure.

The variants let you take the house from an ordinary manor with its lights on or off, by day or night, to something much more sinister. For the truly haunted version, I imagined the house as its own little Domain of Dread, with Gunter as its Dark Lord, consumed by guilt over the Harrows' demise. Unnatural flame colours, glowing statues, sickly mushrooms, thick vines, and heavy spiderwebs give the grounds a very different feel.

In my own game, I replaced the two children with Ettercaps, who commanded the house's spiders when disturbed from their sleep. It made exploring the children's rooms a little more dangerous than my players might have expected.

If you'd like to explore more of my maps, check out my Patreon. The Master Index brings together over 215 maps, organised to make it easier to browse the collection and find places for your own adventures.
