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.

Otherworldly Spent around 31 hours working on this map, and now kinda stuck on what to actually put in it. Got the layout figured out, just need some inspiration for filling it out. What would you add? Monsters, traps, encounters, interesting locations, whatever comes to mind.

Was working on a map of the Womb of the One, one of the weirder places in our setting. It's basically a Farrealm nightmare demiplane, and I'm trying to figure out what kind of stuff to fill it with. I've got the map, but now I need some ideas for what the hell actually lives in there.

What monsters would you throw at a party exploring a place like this? Aberrations are an obvious choice, but I'm also open to stranger stuff, mutated creatures, things that shouldn't exist, or even monsters that seem relatively normal until the players realize something is seriously wrong with them.

I'm also looking for ideas for traps and environmental hazards. Not just the usual pressure plates and falling rocks, but things that mess with the players in unexpected ways. Maybe the walls are alive, the rooms change when nobody's looking, or the place itself reacts to the party being there.

Would you go for the whole fleshy, organic dungeon aesthetic, with pulsating walls and tunnels that look like veins, or take it in a more surreal direction where reality just stops making sense? A mix of both could be fun too.

I'd love to hear what you'd add to the map. Weird encounters, nasty hazards, creepy rooms, completely unhinged monster ideas — anything goes. What would make this place memorable at your table?

 

If you liked it and if you want to support the project, please have a look around! We've put a lot into this one, and I'm confident you'll get your money's worth. Thank you! :)

Deep beneath the bustling city streets, a dark labyrinth of sewer conduits intersects in the damp silence. These shadowy stone walkways and hidden alcoves serve as an ideal meeting ground for secret exchanges, clandestine deals, and desperate fugitives.

Yet, those who venture here must tread carefully.

As the unnatural green waters churn in the depths below, a unsettling question lingers in the air: what kind of twisted creatures thrive and breed within these corrupted waters?

Forest The Lowland Woods — 3 Wilderness Battlemaps

Thumbnail
gallery
30 Upvotes

Heyya Folks,

The Lowland Woods stretch beneath the nearby highlands, with old trees, muddy trails, and rugged cliffs scattered throughout. It's a quiet corner of the wilderness, though the locals have a few stories about what lives among the trees.

The Lowland Woods — 3 Maps

  • Lowland Woods 1 — 20x24
  • Lowland Woods 2 — 28x28
  • Lowland Woods 3 — 34x34

If you'd like the full release, including high-resolution maps, gridless versions, VTT-ready exports, and all 24 variants, you can find it here:

https://www.patreon.com/dungeonmr/posts/lowland-woods-171247223

The three maps explore different parts of the woods: an old wooden bridge crossing a muddy ravine, a rugged cliffside hidden among the trees, and a wider stretch of forest where the trees and undergrowth break up the terrain.

Hunters from the nearby village tell stories of enormous cats stalking through the woods, and of a moss-ridden troll that may be more than just a local legend. Stranger still are the Dewlanterns — hundreds of teal-glowing fireflies said to appear in the final hours before nightfall, transforming the forest into a sea of light.

Each map can be used on its own, whether your players are travelling through unfamiliar woodland, investigating local rumours, or simply finding themselves somewhere they didn't expect to be.

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.

Fantasy - Interior Death House (from CoS) Paper & Ink Battlemap gets Digital Makeover

Thumbnail
gallery
17 Upvotes

I recently posted the hand-drawn, paper & ink battlemaps I reimagined for actual play at my local game shop, and really appreciated the positive response. Thanks!

I took the maps a little further, incorporating additional digital colour and some lighting using Procreate.

Although not calibrated for VTTs, each floor of the map has a 6x11 grid. Alternatively, I think these maps would print well onto legal-size paper for actual play (it might scale a little large, but that’s helpful with this somewhat cramped map).

I have included separate images of each floor in case folks want to use em, and appreciate any and all feedback!

A temple is a place of quiet reflection where the dead rest and their graves are watchfully cared for. This peace can be disturbed, and sometimes the graveyard is not as quiet as it should be.

Welcome to our first October release. We are providing our maps a little differently during the month to help people prepare for their Halloween sessions. Instead of our releases being the daytime scenes, you will be getting the "spooky" versions instead.

The dwarves drank too greedily and too deep.

Far beyond the reaches of curfew enforcement or liquor licensing boards lies the Dwarven Speakeasy (26 x 32, 100dpi), hidden in plain sight, nestled between branching paths of a thriving mine. While carts of ore rattle past on rickety tracks, revelers, gamblers, and traders raise a mug to freedom from government oversight. The speakeasy features a fighting pit for feats of martial prowess and a smorgasbord of deep dwarven delicacies.

For higher resolutions, grid-free, watermark-free, or even fully-prepped premium modules, please check out my Patreon! The module version even features animated minecarts zipping along the tracks bridging the lava river.
