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 - Dungeon Sacred Stone Monastery and Mines

5 Upvotes

"Abdiss, this is my kind of place. Stone above, stone below, stone on all sides. I was made for this place."

"Then I am glad we came here together, Goram. So which way are we going."

"Easy, Abdiss. Down. Always down."

"And if we meet another monster with copper claws and mandibles like oven shears?"

"This time we won't kill it. Just subdue it and I'll fashion a saddle for it."

"A saddle?"

"I loved playing hop the Umberhulk when I was wee lad..."

"I am learning so many new things since I am traveling with you, Goram."

The Sacred Stone Monastery and its mines is the entrance to the Temple of Black Earth, one of the bastions of the Cult of Elemental Evil. It houses many cultists, slaves and a few interesting monsters. It is a part of the "Princes of the Apocalypse" campaign but can be used for an stone fortress you can imagine it into.

The map of the monastery is intended for a map of 70x40 squares. The map of the mines for a map of 65x40 squares.

As always I share my maps for free on Reddit. If you wish to support me you can do so through my patreon: https://www.patreon.com/dmoaky/posts/sacred-stone-and-172634720?pr=true
For my loyal patrons I also offer:
- HD versions of all my maps
- VTT files

The assets I used stem from Forgotten Adventures (https://www.forgotten-adventures.net/)..) Please support them as well.

Without a doubt, the Clockwork Dragon is one of my favourite maps that I have every drawn.

I mean show we the PC that wouldn't want there very own mechanical dragon to fly around in!

Even better, picture their faces when it turns up to attack them!

I still haven't actually used this map in a game but I will need to find some excuse soon.

Any suggestions?

Deep beneath the surface, buried for centuries under a labyrinth of ruins, the shattered temple of a long-dead god has a new master...

On the other side of the fiery canyon you will find treasures—and death...

Large map, created with combat in mind - starting with two entrances, tight corridors and tactical chokepoints - as well as with large spaces for a bit of tactical approach...

And, at the other side of lava-filled canyon - there's massive open space (with some cover) for an epic boss fight. I thought about a dragon - hence the gold hoard - but this giant stone throne with skulls scattered around can be used by quite the variety of BBEGs....

Be careful - the floor is lava!

Caves/Underground Trickle Grotto — Underground River Battlemap 30x45

Thumbnail
gallery
121 Upvotes

Heyya Folks,

Where the Stream of Mercy disappears beneath the earth, there's a cavern the people of Devyn call Trickle Grotto. The river winds through the cave before vanishing into darkness, but the grotto holds a few other things worth discovering — and some that might be better left alone.

  • Trickle Grotto — 30x45

If you'd like the full release, including high-resolution maps, gridless versions, VTT-ready exports, and all 8 variants, you can find it here:

https://www.patreon.com/dungeonmr/posts/trickle-grotto-171421141

The grotto has a circular layout, so either route eventually brings adventurers back near where they began, though the terrain on each side is quite different. One follows the river through a narrower, more straightforward passage, while the other winds through a fog-ridden cave where strange flowers grow in the water below.

The people of Devyn tend to avoid the place, despite the useful discoveries made in its damp, mineral-rich depths. One of these is a broad-leaf cave sorrel with pale bluish-green leaves and a famously bitter taste. The other is considerably more dangerous: an enormous white bat said to haunt the deeper caverns. Few have seen the creature and lived to tell the tale, but its guano is prized for its unusual mineral content — enough that the local mage is very interested in obtaining some, though not quite interested enough to venture in and collect it personally.

Whether your players are following the river underground, searching for something lost in the current, or venturing into the bat's lair, Trickle Grotto can be used as a standalone cavern or extended deeper into the darkness.

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.
