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

219 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.

River/Bridge Mercy's Stream — 3 River Battlemaps

Thumbnail

102 Upvotes

Heyya Folks,

Mercy's Stream winds through the Lowland Woods, passing old stone shrines, rocky banks, and quiet pools before disappearing beneath the earth. Its waters sustain the nearby village of Devyn, though local stories suggest there may be more beneath the surface than fish and river stones.

Mercy's Stream — 3 Maps

  • Mercy's Stream 1 — 25x35
  • Mercy's Stream 2 — 32x24
  • Mercy's Stream 3 — 30x40

If you'd like the full release, including high-resolution maps, gridless versions, VTT-ready exports, and all 21 versions, you can find it here:

https://www.patreon.com/dungeonmr/posts/mercys-stream-171421519

Each map explores a different stretch of the river. The first features an old stone shrine overlooking the water, with a fallen tree that might serve as a crossing. The second has rocky banks and steep overlooks that offer good vantage points for anyone watching the stream — or waiting to ambush travellers. The third follows the water into a peaceful pool beneath a small waterfall, an inviting place to fish or take a swim.

The shrine is a familiar stop for those who travel along the stream. Hunters often pour a ladle of fresh water over the stone before setting out, giving thanks for the waters that sustain the surrounding land. Even those studying the strange Dewlanterns are expected to observe the custom.

Of course, the stream has its dangers, too. Local stories speak of an enormous crayfish from a bygone age, sleeping in the deeper pools. The villagers still fish these waters, but few would willingly take a swim where the creature is said to rest.

The three maps can be used together as part of a journey through the woods, or individually wherever your players might encounter a river, a secluded shrine, or a quiet stretch of water that isn't quite as safe as it looks.

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

Rising above the shattered, floating ruins of a fallen metropolis stands a lone, four-story administrative spire—the former bureaucratic heart of the city. Whether you need a vertical dungeon of rotting scaffolding, dust-draped banners, and abandoned registries, or a warm, candlelit chancellery bustling with clerks and guards that can be dropped into any campaign setting, this multi-level tower is designed to fit right into your world.

From the circular lower galleries and record archives up to the high magistrate's sanctum at the peak, this 4-map vertical sequence is just the final destination of a much larger expedition; the entire Eirintaal – The Shattered City collection is available right now, featuring 26 interconnected animated battlemaps, arcane crystal variations and active tower.

Other Map Military Camp

70 Upvotes

Wagon wheels roll and boots thump in a rhythmic pace. They break camp at dawn and march for hours, before settling in miles from where they began. It's not luxurious, but it has enough comforts to keep the journey from becoming grueling. There are bedrolls for twenty soldiers and beds for two commanders, a well-stocked cook tent, and places to discuss strategy and prepare for the operations that lie ahead.

The Military Camp (41 x 23, 100dpi) is meant to travel across the land, to set up in a variety of locales. This map pack includes camps in the Grasslands, Desert, Dark Forest, Arctic, and Highlands.

Caves/Underground Whale's Grave [30x60] [River] [Underwater]

Post image
115 Upvotes

Map size is 30x60

Hello! Here is my latest map, I wanted to do something to do with the ocean and whales and somehow ended up with a whale graveyard with creepy sperm whale statues? I don’t know, but I’m not unhappy with it, I’m actually pretty happy with it!

I focused on just line art and painting things cause I felt my stuff has been getting too asset (that I custom made) heavy and it was sucking all the joy out of making maps for a while, the end result feels really good.

Anyway this map has a few variants that patrons have access to; versions with just bones, completely bone and statue free, and then underwater versions of those too.

Check the post here: https://www.patreon.com/StainedKarbonMaps/posts/whale-graveyard-172634624

The river in the middle is supposed to be heavy brine and so would still work under water.

Hope at least some of y’all can use this weird map, or at least just enjoy the look of it :)

Happy adventuring!

Krane

Fantasy - Dungeon Tomb of Menet Ka/ reworked map of The Last Gasp by Kobold Press

Post image
32 Upvotes

Chris the Dm has a campaign he runs in the ancient Egypt themed domain of dread called "Har'akir" and one of the dungeons he used to assemble the campaign is from an adventure by Kobold Press called "The Last Gasp".

Its an interesting adventure where characters must navigate the dungeon while slowly running out of air but what didn't impress us was the maps... 6 separated maps for the rooms and several areas that are completely unmapped. So in pursuit of a better campaign we've made a new map using Dungeondraft!

For our paid members we have an unlabled version of the map for players, and a moveable turnstile to use in room 2, and for those interested you can find the Kobold press (who I have no afilliation with I just like their work!) original adventure here on roll20:

https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/gameaddon/8558/last-gasp

if you like this stuff come check out what else we've got on patreon! We have a ton of stuff for the Alexandrian remix (or at least the wolves den remix of the alexandrian remix haha) of Descent into Avernus on the way!

A pirate sloop lies beside a flooded sea-beast lair. Fractured cliffs shelter a deep basin, while prey bones, dragged ship timber and spilled treasure cover its dry ledges. Submerged stone shelves, barnacles and sea grass mark the waterline.

Approach through the broad eastern mouth or slip into the narrower southwest channel. Use the map for a hunt, a rescue, a treasure recovery or a desperate retreat to the ship. The beast is yours to choose; no creature tokens are baked into the artwork.

Hello everyone, here is my new map, Cave, Forest and Lake, size [52x32].

Many beasts have pondered this region, searching for fresh water or refuge in the spacious cave. Now that some adventures have dared crossed into the wild domains, who will be the brave amongst the forest dwellers to protect their home?

If you like the map, you can see my notes on its design here, along with some hidden details and explanations.

If you want and can support me, you can get higher resolution versions, variants and assets to better use the map in your games at my Patreon. For this one you can get some of the trees in a fallen version, the entrances to the cave Collapsed, and variants include night, Autumn, Winter, on Fire and Raining

All my maps, assets and textures are made with GIMP, using a drawing tablet.
