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.

Caves/Underground Giant Hidden Druid Grove in a Cavern.

Post image
33 Upvotes

Made for my home game but I figured I'd share, hidden in a cave beneath a massive urban center, behind a long abandoned temple accessible only via a trek through the cities dangerous undercity cave system, a circle of druids have grown a natural paradise around a tree housing a dryad growing against all odds in the dark cavern. Here they attempt to maintain their natural way of life, hidden away from the noise and pollution of the city above.

The map contains the entrance from the cave system, through the abandoned temple and into the cavern grove. The cave features two small accommodations for invited guests to the grove, a communal area with a small campfire and kitchen, a circle with a shrine where rituals are carried out, the massive area where the Dryad tree grows, and a small offshoot cave featuring a reflecting pool, a barracks, and a hidden cave behind a waterfall where the grove keeps its treasury.
